SUSHICO

"After some Yelp sleuthing for dinner in Newton, we settled on Sushico. The restaurant has a modern and elegant ambiance and friendly service. We got to try a variety of their dishes and I had some really tasty items. Must get - Yellowtail jalapeno - super fresh and tender melt-in-your-mouth fish, crunchy jalapeno, tasty sauce. Definitely one of my favorite crudos I've had in the past year. - Unnamed roll - I can't figure out what this roll was called (they might not sell it anymore), but it had tuna, chili crunch, and microgreens on top. It was my favorite roll that we tried! Flavors, textures, and fish were all on point. Good - Tuna with shiso - very tender tuna, fragrant shiso - Salmon avocado roll - fresh and tasty - King roll - very interesting combination of ingredients (salmon, avocado, mango, veggies) Meh - Sushi tacos - I was really looking forward to these after seeing them in reviews, but I wasn't a fan. The ceviche taco was sweet and didn't have much savory flavor, and the tuna taco didn't have much flavor. These could be okay dipped in soy sauce, but I think the other dishes we had were better. Overall, I loved the yellowtail jalapeno and the roll I can't remember the name of. The items are not cheap -- $8 for a miso soup? what's in it? -- but they clearly put a lot of care into sourcing their ingredients and are passionate about fish and sushi. Everything was fresh, yummy, and inventive. And it was more filling than I expected! I would love to come back and try more rolls and raw appetizers in the future."

"Highly Recommended! This is our go-to sushi spot. They have the freshest fish served in preparations that highlight the quality of the fish. Simple, uncomplicated, and delicious. We typically get a large selection of nigiri and a couple of rolls. My favorite is the Northside Roll. Amazing! The staff is friendly, fun, and dedicated to making sure everything is perfect. Prices are excellent, too. Especially considering the quality and variety of fish. We prefer SushiCo to places that cost twice as much. Definity worth a visit, even if you are in downtown Boston. Easy access on the Green Line, so no excuse not to go!"

"Although the fish was fresh and good quality, I felt that it was not very authentic and the toppings/sauces somewhat ruined the taste of the fish. Decent service and nice atmosphere."

"This place is truly amazing. The head chef is personally making sure that your experience is superb; the team is super nice and the sushi among the best I've ever eaten. Also, they are very attentive towards food allergies, offering creative alternatives to allow you the perfect sushi experience. Highly recommended!"

"The best quality sushi ever! The Chef Alex takes pride in his craft and he certainly knows his flavors. He is hands on deck and he is very personable. I always have a great experience here. If you love sushi...come here."
