very nice establishment, very popular and noisy bar scene with the younger yuppies but a delightful dining experience regardless. the servers were attentive and friendly, and the portion sizes were hearty and flavorful. the fall sangria was amazing, and $1 from each drink sold is donated to a wonderful cause. be warned: i made the mistake of ordering a “handheld” tuna thing without asking what it was and you will end up with what is essentially a sushi taco 🤣 the server went back and brought me a plate of some kind of tuna roll which was equally as tasty as the sushi taco thing. definitely would come back again.

Yum Yum Yum!! An absolute must go to restaurant. Our waitress Brooke was a delight! So lovely, answered all our questions and was great with our kiddo. She was definitely busy with many tables but we never had our requests or table forgotten. We sat outside, the area was clean and well maintained. I noticed several food delivery orders go out so I am sure the area knows how incredible the food is. A great sign! They got busy quickly after we arrived as well, another great sign! The food absolutely did not disappoint!! The flavors and the portions were big and delicious. The cocktails were also a nice component to the meal. Truly one of the best restaurants we have visited in the Boston area. It feels fresh, flavorful and almost tropical like our home in Maui. So many similarities in the

Some days are better than others on food quality. Sushi quality is best when it’s the “regular” options not the trendy kinds with beef, etc that they try to roll out. Overall enjoyable but their wait time for take out is always awful… usually an hour? Longest in Southie

The Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl was a total hit for my office lunch! The tuna was incredibly fresh, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and I was impressed by the generous portion, presentation, and variety of toppings. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-quality lunch delivery. I’ll definitely be ordering this again!

Me and my wife walked in and everything started off great. The hostess was really kind and sweet and she was able to accommodate us with a great table. However, everything went to crap once we were assigned our waiter. She did not try to be friendly, as she rushed us with our order from the very beginning. She then proceeded to stop at everyone else's table and acknowledge them but didn't even try to engage with our table; I couldn't even recall her smiling at us. Not once did she even ask us how we were doing. If she had of, she would have realized that my wife didn't get her appetizers yet, and I had to flag down a bust boy just for a refill of water (that was not even cold). We peeked our head trying to find our waiter and she was literally eating with another employee, while we were le
