Good Neighborhood Restaurant
by MandarinTart at Citysearch
Gari has a cozy, modern decorated dining room with a large sushi bar. Rolls were good with the exception the texture of the rice was a bit hard for my liking. We ate there for lunch and had a spicy tuna roll, Alaskan maki, and California Maki. Food was nicely presented and was on par with other restaurants around town. Also tried the Nabe Yaki Udon as well (nood soup dish with shrimp tempura). Clean and the waitstaff was friendly and attentive. I would say it is a great place to grab a bite of sushi if you live in the area.
- Pros: Example: best croissants in town
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?

A TRUE GEM!
by chinkamericana at Citysearch
I am a sushi FANATIC. And let me tell you, I've searched and scoured Boston in search of a sushi source. And I've finally found it. GARI is quaint (unlike larger places like Fugakyu), and reasserts my philosophy that smaller restaurants are, at least as far as sushi goes, BETTER. They have a VERY broad selection of nigri (for a very reasonable price might I add - 6 dollars for 3 pieces - and they're not stingy on the fish!), an assortment of the normal rolls (spicy salmon, philly rolls, etc), slightly larger rolls with a bit more, and then the Specialty rolls = AMAZING. I could go on and on forever about this place!
- Pros: AWESOME SUSHI, AWESOME PRICES, IT'S A STEAL
- Cons: they charge extra for spicy mayo on the side...that's the best i could come up with

Most innovative sushi menu in town
by elaughlin at Citysearch
Gari's is the best sushi place in Boston in my opinion. Every time I go out to eat I like to go someplace new and different cause i love all types of food but, Gari's is always a unique and great experience so it's hard to avoid. It's hard for me to write this review because no one likes to wait in line for their food as I haven't had to do yet however I wish the best for the business and it deserves more exposure to the sushi lovers in this town.
- Pros: daily specials, care taken to prepare dishes
- Cons: just can't afford to eat there every night
