Got takeout from here (the weeknight platter for 2) and it was just what we needed for our sushi cravings. For $60, we each got 15 pieces of sushi, which was a bit pricey for the quantity, but at least delivered on quality for its price point. What's nice is that they don't just do basic nigiri with fish on top of rice, but also add toppings to bring new flavors to otherwise familiar pieces. My favorite piece was the vegetarian maki (filled with radish), since I've never had such flavors and textures in sushi before, while my dining companion's favorite was the salmon nigiri, since it was leaner and less fatty than typical sushi salmon. All of the pieces were great though. Overall, the food was great but pricey (and not completely worth the price imo). I can't speak to the service or ambiance of a dine-in experience, but would give it a try if I happen to be nearby in the future.

TL;DR: TAKEOUT REVIEW. Everything was so good! Ikura was the star Ordered takeout/delivery on our last night in Boston for our late night snack. We had gone earlier in the day, but their chef's were not doing ala carte orders yet (they had just opened). But the store has a good selection of grab-and-go items from sushi, to drinks, to other merch like soy sauce and snacks. FOOD: ~Chef's Sampler (5/5) and Signature Set (5/5): each of these sets came with 5 pieces of nigiri, and they were all so good. Each of them were topped with a unique seasoning/sauce, and they accompanied each of the fish so well! Salmon don (5/5): came with a great assortment of salmon, all of it very fresh (salmon belly was my fave). But the star of this dish to me was the ikura and the cucumbers. SO DELICIOUS Great quality sushi, great portions, delicious flavors, and affordable prices! Definitely a must visit!

Great sushi place! I have been long looking for an authentic Japanese sushi place and who knew it would come in the shape of a mainly take out, smallish joint in Harvard square. The hosts were wonderful, and gave my partner and I a little sake tasting when we were picking up our weekend platter. It's fully worth the price! There is a small area to eat (counter seating) on the ground floor where if you were just buying something on the spot, you could eat. It does fill up fast!

We got the takeout from this place and ordered the weekday special for two and it was so tasty! The fish tasted fresh and the veggie role was well seasoned and had nice texture.
