"Osushi is a gem. The food is exquisite. The Hamacho Carpaccio, the clam in Sake Borth and the sushis were amazing. The best Japanese food in Massachusetts. Service was very friendly."

"The food was good but the portions were very small. The waitress made some very good recommendations for us. I left my American Express card at the restaurant and was disappointed when I called that they hadn't found it. I called the next morning and they rudely asked which table I was sitting at. I had to cancel the card."

"The food was great but over priced and the menu limited. I was disturbed by the branches hung by nooses as I entered the restaurant. They also need to solve the problem of the entire restaurant getting a cold draft each time the door opens.
For my money and comfort I will visit another sushi location."

"Food wasn't bad, but it was a little on the pricey side. I have definitely seen many better quality yet less pricey sushi menus."

"The food here was delicious. However, the room - with high ceilings, many windows, and no "curtain" around the front door entrance to prevent the winter air from gusting in - was freezing. We weren't the only ones dining with our coats on. The service was perfunctory. The loud, thumping beat of night-club music - between 7:30 and 9:00 p.m. - impaired conversation and quickened heartbeats. The food was not enough to warrant a return."

"Bar was terrible!!!? bar tender was literally the worst I have ever experienced. I came in a group of 4 people, and everyone's drinks were awful!! Food was good and waitress was friendly, but they also sat us 30+ mins after our reservation (despite getting there 15 mins early). I will never go back."
