Nagomi Izakaya

"My new favorite Japanese restaurant in Boston! What a gem! I enjoyed everything we ordered. My favorite has to be the Wagyu fried rice and the roasted foie gras maki. All the dishes were rich and flavorful. The margarita was also amazing - floral notes with yuzu - had just the right amount of sweetness. Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes! My only complaint was that the service is slow. There was one waitress for the whole restaurant so it took a while to place our order and get water refills etc. Regardless the food made up for it! Highly recommend."

"Food poisoning. Visited there before Christmas and ordered two sashimi s (tuna and salmon 3pcs respectively ). Started to feel nausea and discomfort in stomach several hours later, and lasted about two days. Got better after some probiotic drinks. Absolutely horrible."

"I wanted to try Nagomi Izakaya for awhile as a potential date/sushi spot. Especially seeing the pictures and reviews. It was mostly positive, but some mixed as well, so I went solo in person today to see for myself. And it didn't disappoint. Booked on OpenTable, which was smooth, and I was the first one in. Service was fast with water and food being served promptly, though they were slow giving me my check at the end, which I equate to the restaurant just opening. I loved the interior vibe though. The outside is plain, but the inside is cozy, with the music not being too loud, which is perfect for conversation. Also, I love the koy pond/sand. I played it safe mainly having sushi entrees and basic app like Takoyaki. Delicious! And the quality was good; it didn't fall apart. Portion was enough for me. But trying it in person quelled any worries I had. A gem in the area. It might cost more for some items. And everything likely won't be a hit (how could it be). But think of location and the various food options. You can't get this much food. I think it's worth it! And I'll be back soon"

"I went there because of advertising on Instagram, it looked worthwhile and delicious on the pictures. But in life I considered that the dishes are way smaller and fish for sushi is cheap and doesn't have a taste. For example, look at this salmon on my picture: it has pieces of skin and is extra thin, not like Japanese sushi at all. And this small dish including disgusting calamari is for 38$!!! The Uni was fine. Makis are big but tasteless. I would wish smaller but with good quality of fish."
