There was absolutely nothing wrong with the food, except that there wasn't much of it. I'm past that point in my life where I think it's cool to spend a lot of money on tiny, pret...

Poor service, High price 7/24/2010

We totally agree with gordon. Slow service - after seating, waitress had to be reminded from a sushi chef to take the order. Appetizer we ordered never arrived. When asked the waitress, she said, "" Do you want to have that now?"" We almost finished eating, so we had to cancel the order. more

THE place for sushi in Metrowest. 10/7/2007

I love sushi and eat it often. This is the best place for sushi in metro west. The Uni is always fresh and tasty (Good indicator at most Japanese sushi bars) I'm a huge fan of Uni, and if its ""off"" it will ruin your experience. The Hamachi is always buttery and the Hon Maguro is rich red and velvety. The service is always top notch. more

Very low standard poor service poor value for money. We waited 55 minutes for soft shell crab tempura when it arrived it was greasy-lacking flavor, 8/29/2007

Tuna was warm and the rice overcooked Ginger was skimpy, service was slow, topping up water glasses took 15-20 minutes. Red soy miso with cherrystone was a mush flavorless wit one tough cherrystone shell included in the soup. Waitress was slow and innatentive For $80+ for three people it was a rip we went home and ate. Worst meal I have experienced in a specialty establishment in 40 years. Michi-Kusa is far better value and quality. Cons: Slad filled a tea cup more

Quality declined 8/24/2007

I used to be a big fun of Oga. It was one of the few authentic Japanese restaurant in greater Boston. more

Great Japanese Creations! 8/21/2007

This restaurant is very good. Their appetizers, like agedashi tofu, is very tasty. Their sushi is very consistant and this place has a very modern atmosphere despite the exterior. I recommend their B-52 roll and their sesame ice cream. I recommend this restaurant for dates and for families. Try it out if your in the Natick area shopping. Do not go to Minado for sushi!! Pros: fresh sushi, great atmosphere Cons: location more

Disappointing despite great reviews 5/6/2007

Not sure if I went on a bad night, but I wasn't that impressed to be honest. The sushi was okay, but I've definitely had fresher and tastier sushi (i.e. Fugakyu & Oishii). The service was pretty good, but I was expecting a lot more given the great reviews. So I guess I'll give it another try... more

OMAKASE - Chef's Table - At Their Service 12/15/2006

As a frequent patron to Japanese restaurants, be it Oga's, Oishi, or a 10-buck deal from the supermarket (yes, cravings must be subdued), I'm not a stranger to the term ""omakase"". Google the term for a full definition. Pros: Omakase, quality, chatty/polite waitress Cons: n/a distance from Boston (25 minutes) more

Excellent Japanese Food 5/15/2006

Some of the very best Japanese food (both sushi and non-sushi) in the Boston area. Worth the trip. Pros: terrific food, easy parking more

Don't miss out 9/28/2005

Working along Route 9 has been a treat over these past couple years and I must say that this is one of the best kept secrets in the area. I went there a couple years back with some co-workers and was awe struck by the decor, wait staff and above all else the food. They start you out with a soup and small salad, which is an added bonus and then onto what you're really there for. The sushi is freshly prepared and the price is very reasonable. more

Don't be fooled by the exterior! 7/28/2005

I had known this restaurant was there for quite some time, but the strip-mall location had always turned me off. I'm glad I gave it a try, because the interior is another world. Ambiance is wonderful. We were lucky to get a private booth (with curtain). Food was excellent. Sushi very fresh and presented well. Entrees were better than ever expected. Prompt service throughout the meal, and timely service of food. Definitely recommend! Pros: decor, seafood, sushi Cons: location more

10 times better than Oishii, Fugakyu or Ginza 4/19/2005

Oishii is the freshest and best sushi place in Mass. Outstanding appetizer selection, and you can tell the chef has some real Japanese cuisine training. I'd go so far as to say it is as good as Iron Chef's Morimoto's in PA. Pros: FRESH Cons: far from the city more

Hidden gem 3/16/2005

The food here is fantastic. Very interesting rolls, but the appetizers and entrees are the best. Try the steak which comes on a small grill where you grill it yourself and eat it hot off the grill. The jidori chicken is delicious as is the hamachi appetizer (thin slices of hamachi with spicy sauce). more

it's a feast! 10/10/2003

We drove out to Natick from Boston w/ skepticisms initially, but the hour ride (+ $2/trip for Mass Pike) was definitely worth it! The food was just unbelievably delicious! We ordered monthly special appetizers (fushion), and two entrees, the beef houbayaki+gindara-yuuan-yaki(marinated silver cod)! The beef is quite good, though it's not the best Japanese beef dish. But you MUST try the cod! It's buttersoft w/ light soybean-saki taste. The portion is quite generous (they also give you some small sidedishes) so we hardly had room for dessert. The only imperfection is the taste of miso soup(quite mediocre) and quality of rice(not soft and fluffy like I'd expect in a high end Japanese restaurant). We spent $75 for 2(appetizers+entrees+desserts) so I think it's more like a $$$. The interior has a new age Zen feel, a big contrast from its unappealing exterior. They also have party rooms for special occasions. Pros: delicate food, ambience, parking Cons: far from downtown more
