Sushi Kappo Toraya - Arlington

This is the most beautifully fresh sushi I’ve ever had in greater Boston, and I’ve lived here for fifteen years. The service and wait time can be somewhat lengthy, but the quality of the food given a single chef preparing everything and minimal floor staff is stunning.

Great food and service. Try to get there around 5 so you don’t have to wait too long to get seated. I was very impressed the amount of food we get with the price. Also an amazing experience to see the chef making sushi around you.

I will wager that this is the best Japanese restaurant in the Boston area. I hate saying this because they will become extremely busy but I cannot keep this to myself. They specialize in Japanese dishes beyond the ordinary sushi, curry, ramen, etc. (nothing wrong with those), but you get to expand your tastes and options in fantastic ways. Don’t hesitate to get any sushi dish but you cannot go wrong in the a la carte dinner menu! What an adventure Toraya is!

Sushi freshness was not up par. Food taste did not wow me. Fried food suppose to be golden brown. It's quite a disappointment.

Great Sushi. In fact my Japanese friends say it’s the best in town. Beautiful decor too. Just wish they played some background music to help the ambiance. Otherwise it feels very quiet at times. One other nitpick is that they charge for extra ginger.
