Editorial Review for Mr. Sushi – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
A favorite among the hordes of students and young professionals that call the Coolidge Corner area home, Mr. Sushi has enjoyed lines out the door since its opening in 1987. True aficionados know that better-quality sushi can be found elsewhere (down the street at Fugakyu, for one), but the affordable prices and breadth of menu items here can't be beat. Service depends on the time of visit; on busy weekend nights, expect to wait for that extra side of wasabi.
The Food
The dinner menu's 100-plus items are split fairly evenly between familiar favorites (steamed shrimp dumplings, lightly battered vegetable tempura) and rare Japanese delicacies (boiled baby octopus, quail eggs). Most diners opt for fresh California rolls and satisfying chicken teriyaki. Entrees, which include several Korean specialties like Bi Bim Bab, come with smoky miso soup and a simple garden salad. Tangy ginger ice cream provides a palate-pleasing finish.

I decided on this place for my sushi loving/picky eater friend and we both loved it. Very casual- walk in in what ever attire and get low priced great eats- we loved our plate of sushi and got it for $40. very friendly staff and fine timing service.

I got around to going to mr. sushi with a friend after years of going to the same 2 places in the fenway area and I was really pleasantly impressed. The quality of the raw fish was incredible and the price of the whole dinner was much cheaper than I would have expected. Service was good but is definitely the weakest of all factors at mr. sushi. I am planning on going back and trying the house 'cooked' specialties as well next time and I have the feeling it was also be a very good meal!
Pros: great fish, key location, great value
