The Recommendations
Frequently Asked Questions
Cafe Sushi in Harvard Square offers Cambridge's most refined sushi experience, with an intimate counter where skilled chefs prepare traditional nigiri and sashimi using fresh fish flown in from Tokyo's Tsukiji market. Their omakase (chef's choice) menu is the best way to experience their craft. For excellent quality at more accessible prices, The Mad Monkfish in Central Square combines creative sushi rolls with Asian fusion and live jazz. Genki Ya in Porter Square offers reliable, affordable sushi in a casual setting. For the true sushi purist, O Ya in Boston's Leather District (worth the trip) offers world-class omakase that rivals Tokyo's finest—expect to spend $200+ per person.
