Koro Ramen & Sushi

We’ve tried this place three times and were disappointed every time. We’re honestly confused by the positive ratings. The sushi misses the mark across the board. The spicy tuna seriously lacked flavor and was just tuna with a side of spicy mayo and oversized cucumber, and the rice was oddly sweet. Overall, it almost tasted like what you’d expect sushi to taste like if you tried to make it at home. The shrimp tempura had similar issues. The house ramen also wasn’t good. The noodles were rubbery even after following the heating instructions, and the meat was strangely seasoned. Nothing tasted terrible, but everything tasted off. Overall, this is a 1–2 out of 10 for sushi and ramen. If you seriously like sushi or ramen, this is not your spot. It’s unfortunate because it’s close by, but the

The most plain and boring Tuna Poke bowl I’ve ever had. No ginger included as pictured. Two tiny soy sauce packets included in my takeout order. I love poke but $23.50 for a tiny bowl of completely unseasoned ingredients. No sauce, no sesame seeds, no furikake. Boooooring.

We both made our own bowls and both were AMAZING. Hot, fresh, filling. The vibe was cool inside, and the service was good. The sushi was not great, but we got over it.

Can not recommend enough. Came in for the build your own ramen bowl, and got a sushi roll to start. The guest service was excellent, we have a dairy allergy and the front of house answered all questions, and went out of her way to ensure our meal was allergy free without making it feel it feel like it was a burden. I wish we got her name, if we did it we would shout it out x10. Went in for ramen, but the sushi menu is incredible, every creative risk they are taking is paying off ten fold. Don’t doubt it, go in and try it! You won’t be disappointed.

As a sushi lover I was so excited to hear that this restaurant was opening in Eastie. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the expectation. The chicken karaage was good but the sushi was disappointing. I had the golden sunset and philly rolls. The fish did not taste very fresh, rice was not seasoned well, the mango was unripe, thin and leathery, and the roll quality was poor (see photos: not filled and pieces cut unevenly). Their specialty roll was so small, the same size as a basic maki despite being double in price. I do hope things improve so we can have some good Japanese food in East Boston.
