General: New york type style Japanese restaurant. Older crowd, expensive, elegant, professional and damn good. Located: 116 Washington St, Boston, MA 02118 Phone: 617-482-8868

She Said: So sleek and pretty, amazing, highly rated, highly professional! The dishes were presented in such a beautiful manor. The setting was great too. Quiet and delicate. The service was really nice too. Our waitress was somewhat helpful, I thought, but she always asked if we needed anything. Tonight we brought my roommate to dinner. I thought it would be good to get her input on this, so hopefully she’ll write a tidbit later on her experience. (pretty much she hadn’t had much sushi before, but enjoyed the experience!!) Dishes ordered included Spicy edamame, seaweed salad, Yellowtail and Salmon sashimi, some crazy dish that I just randomly ordered and the Tuna Tartare, oh and some oyster thing.. Maybe He’ll remember. The Tuna tartare was very tasty. It had a lot of flavor for just a little bit. I didn’t enjoy the spicy edamame as much. I really just enjoyed the setting at Oishii and the displays of the elegant food. Yes, it is very expensive, but the ambience is amazing!

He said: Ok everyone that have been there tell me this is their favorite restaurant, I now agree, She just described the food very accurate, everything was totally good. This night was a sort of special for she and he, she invited her friend, and that was the experience for me, she share with us that she wasn’t to familiar with Japanese food. thru the years I always have introduce friends to all sort of foods, always get all kind of mixed reactions. same with our friend here, I can said she had never had oysters or caviar, but we insisted and she tried… yay! Place is great, I am thinking actually to throw a party there soon. my advice just go and enjoy like we did.




Haru

General: Located street level below the Shops at Prudential Center, Haru Boston’s 6,100 sq. ft. space boasts a Japanese garden, bamboo floors and wooden footbridge. The elegant sushi bar takes pride of place in the main dining room along with custom pieces from local artists, and the sake and cocktail bar is a smart spot for after-work drinks or late night people-watching. 55 Huntington Avenue, Boston.

 

She Said: Haru is good, but not fantastic. This was the first Japanese restaurant that I went to in Boston. It has all your japanese needs of course, and I’m not saying it bad at all, I did enjoy it, but I think because it’s a chain, the appeal for me is gone. They did make me a good espresso martini though!

He Said: For a chain mall type restaurant this is not bad, they have a good menu selection and the food is not bad, Is not you average chain restaurant type, I would say it falls on the upper category. Deco is de accorde and prices are right. Drink menu is good and the staff is friendly. if you are shopping at the pru, and get hungry and the mood for some sushi. yeah is a good option.

 



Fugakyu

General: Traditional, well decorated, high quality, full menu Japanese Cuisine, Located near Coolidge Corner. 1280 Beacon St Brookline, MA 02446,

She Said: Can I say… OH MY GOOOOD. (and that’s god, but it’s totally good too!). This place, Fugakyu, is amazing beyond belief. I absolutely love Japanese food and this is the place. It’s a big restaurant, so at first it doesn’t seem very authentic, but it’s so tasty. There are so many maki rolls and entrees that it makes it really hard to choose. That’s my main downfall of Fugakyu. The menu is so extensive that he and I just ordered the Boat because we couldn’t decide. But whatever you order, you won’t regret!

He Said: I been coming here for quite of while, Every time i try to order something new from their extensive menu, I have never been disappointed. This Place is huge, kind a like a maze. If you are with a big party you probably will get one of the private little rooms that resemble more authentic Japanese decor. Ok now to the food. The sushi is pretty good, they have all the traditional rolls that you expect from any sushi bar. but you don’t go to Fugakyu for the sushi, instead for the apetaizer and the well balance array of diferent meats and vegetarian dishes the offer.
