Sushi Man

My wife and I came here the other day, we live just across the street. I'm so glad we visited! Years ago I visited Sushi Man at their old location, and now that we've moved here I'm so glad we are so close! We had the Karage Fried Chicken, Dragon Maki, Spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura.

Sushi Man is a restaurant with a long history in the Newton area, first being located in a smaller area right off of Route 9 before moving to their current location a few years ago. The staff are really friendly and make the food quite quickly, reminds me of the service we used to get in the past. The food was of good quality and how I remember it. It does tend to be on the expensive side for these meals, but was still pretty good and tasted well. The sushi was fresh, with good rice to fish ratio and presented well. The udon had a good broth that went well with the noodles, and had some toppings and sides that were crisp and tasty.

Dear Mr . Sushi Man & Wifey, Chinese & Japanese Excellence!! I love Sushi Man & Wifey ; Why are you so excellent? The freshest sushi these lips have touched . Including the soft shell crab at the most incredible prices . I have travelled 60 counties and no comparison. I thought you closed . Yet you moved to the other side of the street . I have missed three years of your excellence. I am so happy I drove by the other side of the street today to find you . My stomach did cartwheels with the freshness of your sushi and soft shell crab .

Chef Toriyama has some of the best sushi in Boston, hands-down! Little nuances that just make everything pop the vegetables tasted alarmingly, fresh good texture, really stunning depth the flavor. Almost reminds me of picking vegetables out of the garden. Not the usual slightly sterile taste, and texture that you find from modern restaurants. The way that he seasons the rice is a little bit unique has a nice slightly nutty flavor to it. Really everything was incredibly well, balanced, and thought out. The atmosphere is also stunning, soft, jazz music in the background sunlight gently fills the room The staff all seem to know one another and be well connected and the entire vibe just feels warm. Even the preparation & assembly of each role is different but in a charming and unique way.

This sushi restaurant is HIGHLY UNDERRATED! I have eaten Sushi at many places throughout the United States on the east coast and this was the best sushi I have ever had in terms of freshness and flavor. I eat sushi two to three times a week, so you can imagine how high my opinion is of this place. This is not a large place, but it's just one of those traditional mom and pops places that people would overlook and not go inside. The parking is terrible, the restaurant is small inside, but the people were extremely polite and accommodating. I even walked in five minutes early because I didn't realize when they opened, and they welcomed my business. They gave me a free appetizer snack, a piece of watermelon for dessert, and some candy. I will specifically go out of my way to return back here
