My friend found a bandaid in her noodles

Just tried ordering through GrubHub and when the driver came to pick up the food, another driver had already taken it. They don’t care enough to make sure that the correct person takes the correct order. Not ordering take out from here again.

BBQ beef so chewy, its almost inedible. Disappointed i can't eat my 20 dollar lunch.

Diner Review №7

Went for a work group lunch. Food is some of the worst I’ve had in Boston but it came quick and the music wasn’t overly loud.

The three roll combo is ~$20 after tax. Salad was probably ok, but didn’t finish it because the tomato had a strong mush/beet-y taste like it had been sitting around. Cucumber was ok. For sushi, rice was on the harder side and didn’t seem like short grain sushi rice. Two of three rolls tasted fine, the third one tasted like rubber (the way tires smell) but with wasabi was ok. Forced myself to finish since it would’ve been too awkward to send it back with colleagues around

The intimate and cozy space is perfect for introverts, date, chill, or enjoying a meal, especially in the evening. The staffs here are very kind and cute. The menu is varied, which includes popular Asian dishes, and mainly Japanese ones. Highly recommended for the Makimono. They tasted really yummy and worth😋. We tried some cooked ones since my besties couldn't eat raw food, but it was still damn good. The lollipop shrimp was also delicious. The kimchi fried rice is fine, but a little bland with the others. Also, for us the Pad Thai was kind of sweet. We expected it to be more sour and a little more salty. I would say order some veggies or soup, so you will not get bored quickly. I will be back to try the shushi and other dishes.

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for this lovely establishment. The cleanliness and the attentiveness of the waitstaff truly enhance the experience. The food is exceptional, reflecting a high level of quality in every dish. I can certainly see myself becoming a regular here, as the staff are incredibly kind, and the professionalism in the food preparation is evident. This has been a wonderful discovery for me, and I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to give this place a try; I believe you will be thoroughly pleased.

Ordered five rolls, received four, and one of the four was wrong.

Diner Review №12

I always order take put, but they are so nice when I go in! And the food is INCREDIBLE, whether it’s a rice dish or sushi!

Diner Review №13

I ordered miso soup and a sushi lunchbox with Tempura shrimp & tuna sushi pretty good.

Diner Review №14

Ordered avocado maki, crazy roll, citrus summer roll, and shrimp lollipops. Overall, food was delicious, especially the shrimp lollipops, if a bit pricier than expected.

Diner Review №15

Excellent food

Diner Review №16

vegetarian food was decent but rice was not fluffy. also too expensive for the quality

Diner Review №17

Diner Review №18

My first time ordering from here and very disappointed especially with the price point being so HIGH! I ordered chicken pad Thai & I literally got unseasoned no sauce noodles with peanuts on top and chicken being tough/dry with 0 flavoring. Very upsetting and a waste of food honestly. 0/10. Looks nothing like the photo advertised. I want a refund honestly.

Everything is bad , food , customer service, just everything 😞

Diner Review №23

I used to come here all the time when I worked on the other end of Tremont Street. The Thai waitress is no longer there and it remains a takeout place principally but you can sit down and eat. The atmosphere is nice enough.
In my last visit, I ordered the Kimchi chegue (Kimchi stew). It was decent but didn't measure up to my memory of stopping into mom and pop restaurants in Korea. And, how could it? The broth had a tomato and cracked pepper feel and didn't have the kimchi base I miss. I like that beef is an option -- in Korea, there is only pork -- but it had a weird texture, like it was missing a browning/caramelization.
In short, it wasn't the trip down memory land that I hoped it would be but there's some good grub there, for sure -- I saw people get it -- so I will be back again but I'll mix it up and get something different.

I’ve enjoyed their food in the past but the pad thai was incredibly mid. This is the first time i’ve had a pad thai I didn’t like

Diner Review №28

Sushi was good/average. Not a fan of the "menu/order/pay via QR code" system which means very little staff presence. Water glasses left unfilled, etc. We were the only ones there. Won't be back to eat, but may get takeout.

I went to this place for dinner with my friends. The food, ambience and service was great but definitely not a place for drinks.

Diner Review №34

I normally get my lunch after run since the food is affordable at this place but had forgotten my phone today and when I asked the hostess to order for me through desktop she was kind enough to do it. I ordered wings for the first time as her recommendation and it was really good. I loved spicy better than buffalo. Would definitely recommend this place for quick, easy and affordable food.

Diner Review №35

This is one of my go to place for different kinds of foods. Sushi and dumplings are my favourite foods over here. They offer exceptionally great service. I have been fascinated by the humbleness of the server. Overall food and sevice was awesome.

Diner Review №36

Absolutely loved this place. Service was excellent. Food was extraordinary. Loved the sushi. I would loved to go again and again.

Diner Review №37

Really good food, love the spicy wings!

Diner Review №38

Absolutely horrible experience dining in at this restaurant. First off, there was only one waitress there who was in an absolutely horrible mood the whole time. She was on her phone watching tik toks loudly on speaker for most of the time. Additionally, there were people waiting for their take out orders for 30+ minutes.

I also got the Summer Rolls, which had undercooked shrimp in it. When I sent that back, the waitress was completely unapologetic and didn’t even say sorry. Next, when I got my entree and asked for a fork, she gave me a fork wrapped in a napkin that seemed to have some sort of mold on it. She also did not say sorry when I mentioned that as well.

I will never be coming back to this restaurant again, and I hope people see this review and the horrible experience that I had at this restaurant.

Diner Review №40

This is one of my go to spots. However, I'm only giving 4 stars because they often fall short in some important areas and are often inconsistent.

For example, my last visit I ordered a side of kimchi. It came in a small sauce ramacin. It wasn't even good kimchi... they've done much better themselves.

The soups and curry dishes are great! The apps and sushi are imaginative and tasty. The chicken is blanched and tasteless so I stick with the seafood.... shrimp or salmon depending on the dish.

These guys are better than average and a good quick go to spot for lunch or dinner. The wait time for the food is also reasonable which always helps.

Diner Review №41

Waited 30’ for some sushi— seaweed was stale and fish smelled bad

Diner Review №46

Very delicious Asian style cuisine with a wide range of options to entertain the palate.

Diner Review №47

Food is ok but better options across the street. Their ordering system is a nightmare. Took them forever to put my order in.

Delicious food, I will definitely return. They were very stingy with the sauce though

Diner Review №53

somewhat slow. cashier was very emotionless. bland noodles....but the beef was very good

Diner Review №54

Best wings you can find in the city! Everything else is executed pretty well (sushi is solid, mamas dumplings are a gem) but the wings are the real deal! Quick service, friendly manager.. but seriously, try the wings (Thai bbq and soy garlic are my favs)

Diner Review №55

Nice food. Good dumplings 😋

Diner Review №56

Food was good and service was fast, can’t complain

Diner Review №57

The Go Fish roll and Rainbow roll were delicious.

Diner Review №58

This place has the best shrimp tempura!

Diner Review №59

Korean Fried Chicken is very very good I'm not right I do not like that pad thai

Diner Review №60

The white and black cashiers there are not that friendly. No say “Hi” or whatsoever whenever I have come in. They need to train to be better CS-oriented cashiers.

Good sushi and service was good.

Diner Review №66

I ordered the Mama's Dumplings (port) and the Udon Noodle Soup. Dumplings had just enough crispinesss to the dough, without being hard and the filling was very flavorful. Udon was delivered with the fresh ingredients, tempura and broth all in separate containers to keep things fresh/not soggy. The broth serving is generous: Enough to fill the bowl with a little left over for when you've eaten some and the bowl could use a top-up. Flavor was on point for all the ingredients, and the broth was well-balanced (you can actually taste the other ingredients, not just soy). If you order for delivery, there's a fee, but also a tracker to give you a heads-up of when your food will arrive and where it's at in the process. I was shocked when they matched their estimated arrival to the second. Contactless delivery, and the driver actually sent a photo showing exactly where it was left. Worth it. Definitely dining here again.

Diner Review №67

Got the Christmas roll and it was SO good. Friendly and very easy online ordering.

Diner Review №68

Good food. Very personable staff.

Ordered take out from Grubhub, their service was fast and the food was really delicious. The wings taste great and so does the Korean beef bowl. Would 10/10 recommend for well cooked take out food for a winter day.

Diner Review №76

Everything was delicious! Would recommend the Thai curry 🍛

Diner Review №77

I always go eat at off times so I can't say much about how crowded it is. Service was nice (although the host was a bit awkward, but otherwise wait staff were hip). Other than the eel sushi entres, most specialty sushi dishes had "spicy mayo" so if you're not a fan, stick to a la carte. Their chicken is huge and fill you up easily. They have a variety of Asian fusion dishes that can satisfy any picky eater.

This is new and they are giving 20% discount till Oct 31. So we went to check it out. Turns out the food is really delicious and service is great too. The rice was well cooked and spicy chicken was great. The sushi (forgot the name) was great as well.

Diner Review №87

It's okay, miss the old place. Food was good but not as it was before. We'll be back, the waiter was really nice and the place is very convenient.

Diner Review №93

Guys best sushi best place i am loving it

Diner Review №94

If you want to have a quick lunch. This is NOT a place to go. I went to have lunch. The server didnt come to take an order after 10 minutes wait. I called someonelse in the hall to order as I had to go back to work on time. The server all of sudden got mad at me because I ordered to someonelse !! and started arguing that I had to wait for her. What an attitude and behavior. I never had such a rude server to a customer. I ended up leaving without lunch. Had No apologies. I brought it up to a manager. The manager didn't do anything , but watched the server keep arguing. Handled very poorly. Very poor service and slow. The restaurant does not even train people.

Agradable Restaurant, Korean Food, sweet potato and buffalo wings spicy. Korean and American style

Diner Review №97

Those Wild Wings will change your life. Also there was a price discrepancy from what I saw online and the manager gave me a free tea it was so good

Diner Review №98

I personally don't like cucumbers so I asked them to take out cucumbers from spicy tuna which has cucumbers. Instead of taking out cucumbers from the rolls, they put cucumbers into every single sushi I ordered.

Diner Review №99

Great food, great service.

Diner Review №100

I've been coming here ever since they owned and I've never been disappointed. My family is picky but we all can eat here.

Diner Review №101

Delicious food and service!

Diner Review №102

Great quality food, with a clean kitchen. They get busy and forget an item here and there but all in all great neighborhood spot for Asian bites.

Diner Review №103

Incredible Asian cuisine at a very affordable price. Plus 50¢ dumplings on Tuesday and 75¢ wings on Wednesday, if you're in Boston and craving Chinese this is definitely a place worth checking out.

Lots of choices for the non sushi customer. Had the teriyaki shrimp and veggies. Very tasty and fresh.

Diner Review №121

Diner Review №122

There weren't many vegetarian/vegan options. My child has a broken wrist so she cannot use chopsticks so she asked for a fork and never got one, leaving her unable to eat. Overall, an average restaurant.

Diner Review №123

Diner Review №124

Light more than hanging lamp, spread,
Away from mundane, a conversation led
Through peaks and valleys and to truth;
Such flight, I knew in my youth.

O'er sushi glazed by tang and spice,
Saki Salmon, wrapped in rice,
Raised questions of the furthest ends,
I pass heart's redemption in my pen.

Comes check with time, conversation past.
I pay it whole to ensure tis not our last.
Our coats slip on, then into the rain.
Maybe loving friendship be not in vain.

TLDR: Good sushi, reasonably priced; nice dinner environment, kinda dark and classy; good company.

This place was definitely not worth it. I spent $30 dollars for a orange chicken and bibibamp that had no sauce and no other side dishes in it at all. If it wasn't for the fact that I was working and I really needed food in my system, I would have called and gotten my money back. Don't waste your money people.

Shante hit the nail on the head! The manager Anthony was very respectful, welcoming and helpful. If Shante wasnt arund he made sure I had all that I needed. Wonderful resturaunt! I cant wait to try somthing else

The food is very good, but the prices are extremely expensive (I guess that's what you expect in Boston). If you don't mind the extreme cost, then this is a great sushi restaurant with friendly staff.

Diner Review №162

Diner Review №163

Our party comprised of 7 members. We found that the service was very slow even when the restaurant wasn't busy (there were just about two tables occupied including ours). We weren't welcomed by the staff who didn't seem to understand the dynamics of service.

What I want to greatly emphasize on, is about the approach that: this one individual had towards us. I will be calling him the manager from here on, as he seemed like one and I guess I am right.

To find out when our drinks will arrive; I rose my hand to grab his attention. He looked at me, unresponsive and was reluctant to come by. When he did, I expressed my concern about the drinks being late and mentioned that we were a party size of 7 and would much appreciate it if the service could be faster. The tone with which he responded clearly stated that we were being taken for granted.

In the next 1.5 hours that we were there, we noticed that this manager walked to every table checking-in with customers. He even took orders politely and addressed questions with humility but never approached us. After the cheque was cleared, he came by to clear the table of the plates but didn't utter a single word. We stood up and left. Our presence, experience and comfort was never accounted for by this obnoxious individual.

Now this makes me wonder. Was this manager biased and discriminating? There can be no other explanation for this, can there be?
He was disrespectful, arrogant and didn't value us as customers. He out rightly ignored us.

If you think you could become a victim of this, then Mission Sushi isn't a place for you, at least when this manager is around. Also, the manager probably should revisit school and get lessons on hospitality with a FREE SPIRIT and understand that conditions DO NOT apply. Else he just isn't fit to be a manager in service/hospitality sector.

Before I end this, I do want to say that the waitress who was serving us did an exceptional job!

However, we are certainly not going to return. Negative experience is at one level while discrimination is of a greater one and can never be tolerated.

7:21pm - Ordered sushi for delivery. Was told 45 minutes. Yes, I realize that it's Valentine's Day.
8:15pm - Called to confirm my order was arriving. Told that the driver is out with the food and that they are "very busy". Fine.
8:45pm - Called again. Mentioned again that they were busy. Said they would contact their driver and call me back with an ETA.
9:30pm - No call backs from the restaurant. Not picking up at the restaurant.
9:38pm - Called yet again. Driver is apparently "in the area" and they are "backed up".
9:49pm - Delivered. Keep in mind that this is sushi that has been out for delivery since at least 8:15pm. I can appreciate that this may be a busier night than usual, but the delay and unresponsiveness are ridiculous.

Save your time and money. Eat elsewhere.

Sushi is always great here. The Symphony pad Thai is my favorite dish.
