" During my recent trip to Boston, I stumbled upon Sakabayashi Sushi Tavern, and I am so glad I did! The highlight of my meal was their special nigiri platter, which featured an array of different types of fish. Each piece was incredibly fresh and melted in my mouth. The chef really knows how to season the rice just right, adding a delightful flavor to accompany the fish. The ambiance of the place felt very much like a traditional Japanese eatery, which I really appreciated. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Sakabayashi Sushi Tavern, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience! The moment I entered, I was captivated by the clean and inviting decor. The sushi was unbelievably fresh and beautifully presented, particularly the tuna and salmon nigiri. I was also impressed by their sake selection; the staff helped me choose a perfect pairing with our meal. The only downside was that the tables are a bit close together, making it feel a bit crowded during peak hours. Overall, I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for authentic sushi in Boston.

" Decided to take my family here for dinner after hearing good things, and we were very pleased with our meal at Sakabayashi! The sushi was very fresh and tasty, and the kids loved the grilled salmon. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our dining experience pleasant. I found the prices to be reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The only minor issue was that it took some time to get our check at the end. Overall, a great restaurant, I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely lunch here with my family last weekend. The menu offered a nice variety of dishes beyond just sushi, which was perfect for my picky eater kids. We tried the funamori don and enjoyed the fresh flavors. The tempura was also delightful, crispy and light. The portion sizes were generous, especially for the lunch special. The service was friendly although a little slow when getting our initial drinks. Overall, this is definitely a place we will come back to, especially since we all enjoyed the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a sushi enthusiast, I had high expectations for Sakabayashi Sushi Tavern, and it did not disappoint! The quality of the fish was top-notch, truly on par with the best I've had, and the rice was perfectly seasoned. I was impressed by their attention to detail with every dish. The only downside was the atmosphere; it felt a bit cramped on a busy night which distracted from the overall experience. However, the excellent food will surely bring me back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant does a fantastic job of bringing authentic Japanese flavors to Boston. I was thrilled to find that the menu featured a variety of traditional dishes, not just sushi. We ordered the ramen and a few small plates, and every dish was made with high-quality ingredients. The flavors were spot on, and it reminded me of my trips to Japan. I appreciated the friendly service, although it took a while for us to receive our appetizers, which was a shame since we were quite hungry! I would love to return and try more of their menu.
