What People Are Saying About Snappy Sushi
Featured Review
Gerrish Lopez

With less than twenty seats available, Snappy Sushi is not a place to linger over a romantic meal--patrons tend to eat-and-run or take out. The clientele is mixed, from professional types on cell phones to students and the usual Newbury Street glitterati. The restaurant makes its name on good sushi prepared quickly--there's a full selection of traditional choices, plus popular house creations like the Newbury Fashion roll (eel, avocado, cream cheese, cucumber, tobiko). Citing a committment to health, the restaurant exclusively uses Koshihikari brown rice. – – High Marks – *…
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- This is one of the toughest places to park in town. Fortunately, the Copley Square stop on the Green Line is right around the corner.

I went with my brother to eat sushi at this place and we sat at the sushi bar. As soon as we sat down the spanish speaking sushi chefs talked a load of shi* the entire time about the two of us. Saying extremely perverted and rude things about me especially. Not to be rude or anything but seriously how stupid do you have to be to not know that a lot of people are bi-lingual in the city. In case anyone is wondering what "suciedad" means..It means "dirt" in spanish because that is EXACTLY what this place is. Absolute FILTH. Next time I want to be sexually harassed I'll make sure to stop by your restaurant.
Besides the rude service.. The food was bland and tasted old. Gross.
- Pros: food is okay
- Cons: rude sushi chefs

Yesterday I was very shocked and disgusted to find a chunk of sand in my Lunch Don. It's pretty clear they do not even rinse their vegetables. We were even more furious at the manager's attitude--She acted like it was not her fault and blamed her employees who prepared the food.
Yes it is cheap and may taste decent. But if you care just a tiny bit about your health and the quality of food, this is not the place for you.

This little hole in the wall below Newbury St. is one of my favorite places for sushi. The service isn't great, but considering the value of the food and the location, I can't complain. I've probably tried everything on the menu and I've loved most of it. The bathroom is clean (and smells nice), which is suprising for small places like these. Great place to stop by after a day of shopping or to bring friends for a casual meal, craving sushi or don't have a lot of cash.
- Pros: Price, food, location
- Cons: Service is alright...
