What People Are Saying About ma soba

Ma Soba restaurant has been serving great food on Beacon Hill since 1999. It provides pan-asian cuisine such as Chinese, Thai and Korean gourmet dining. Ma Soba also sets the standard its sushi and has extensive wine list. From September 2004, Ma Soba has undergone new management. We have re-vamped our menu with a selection of West Coast inspired maki rolls. Moreover we have made prices reasonable. Even the local college students agree it's fair priced for their budgets. We do our best to provide you with an excellent dining experience. As you can see, we were rated #1 for Best Sushi by…

In Short – Area residents and nearby hospital workers fill Ma Soba's airy, multi-tiered dining room to satisfy their sushi hankerings. While the restaurant offers above-average interpretations of familiar Asian favorites (cloyingly sweet pad Thai, savory Bulgogi), it stands out for its innovative sushi offerings. Around 50 different rolls are available, including offbeat varieties like the "disco shrimp" (baked shrimp and scallop atop spicy crab) and "ninja" (albacore tempura, crab and avocado).

OK restaurant
by JDD at Citysearch
We came in to have lunch and we were starving. We ordered real fast and when we saw the food we could not believe they were that little. We had to order more, The food is OK, but the portion is too small. The price is too high for that little portion. However, we like the location and it's clean
- Pros: Location

I Liked it and I'm Not a Fan of Sushi
by UncommonMan at Citysearch
My girlfriend and I went to Ma Soba on a cold Wednesday night. She loves sushi but I have been avoiding it. That said the food was excellent. As I said it was a cold night and thankfully we were seated in a warm spot away from the windows. The waitress was very friendly and did not make me feel awkward because I didn't have a clue what to order. She was very helpful and made sugestions after we made a few initial choices. We ordered the Dinamite appetizer. Although I didn't know what it was it sounded different. For dinner we ordered a California roll (so that my girlfriend could compare it to others she's had), Rainbow roll (raw fish), Volcano Roll (baked roll with dinamite on top) and one other that I forget the name. For fun we ordered sea urchin sushi as well. The fish was very fresh, not fishy tasting at all. The rolls were tight, the fish was firm and quite a bit more flavorful than I expected. The only down side was that the dinamite appetizer arrived just about the same time as the rolls. Overall the meal was a positive experience, I would recommend this restaurant to my friends and I would eat here again.
- Pros: Service, fresh food

Fresh and Unique
by yuki0113 at Citysearch
One of my friends recommended me this sushi place, so she brought me here Saturday night, and I feel like I wanted to write this review and recommend this to everyone else too. The restaurant itself is very nice, which also includes the atmosphere and music, and they've got good service too. Most importantly, I love their special rolls. They've got some of their own unique special sushi rolls you can't find anywhere else. This sushi place fits for you if you're really looking for fresh fish and good sushi rolls. I had a great experience here. I really like here and recommend everybody to try.
- Pros: fresh sushi, good service
- Cons: waiting line
