i've only been to Mr Sushi once, but i was not impressed. the menu offers mostly just the basics and i generally prefer a few original or more obscure rolls. probably a good place to go if you are a less adventurous sushi eater or just in the mood for something more simple. great service, though.

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
GREAT SUSHI!

The fish is always fresh, and the service is great. The sushi chef is always willing to make adjustments to the rolls to make me happy - no tobiko, change to shrimp etc. The non-sushi dishes are great also!
- Pros: Great, Fresh Sushi
- Cons: on-street parking only, other than that - it's a great place!
Bargain prices make up for so-so sushi at this popular haunt of hungry academics and Coolidge Corner workers.

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've ordered delivery from Mr Sushi and it's decent sushi at decent prices. Sometimes they've messed up the order, but it's usually about things like salad, or rolls, or missing sets of chopsticks that I am unconcerned about anyways. If they messed up my sushi order though, there'd be h*** to pay!
In any case, I found Mr Sushi unexciting. Not great, but not expensive either. Good if you're jonesing for some sushi but if you're looking for quality, go elsewhere.
- Pros: inexpensive
- Cons: you get what you pay for
shocking treatment of patrons with babies

my infant son and i met two friends and their babies for lunch today at MR. SUSHI in brookline. just after we ordered, the restaurant owner came to our table and told us not to return to the restaurant. he claimed he had lost a customer because of us. it was just after 12:00 noon when were were there, the resaurant was full to about 15% of capacity and our babies were quiet and content making just the occasional sound of baby joy (not that that should matter so long as there was room to seat us, but to give you added perspective on the owner's hostility to patrons with babies). needless to say, we will be taking our business elsewhere from now on. we hope other parents and their babies are spared such crass discriminatory treatment in the future.
- Pros: lost of space
- Cons: hate babies
A Brookline Gem

Mr. Sushi is often overshadowed by its trendier Japanese counterpart, Fugakyu. However, this restaurant is a true gem! It offers excellent value and great food. Also, I have never had any problems with the service. My girlfriend and I are regulars there and would recommend going for their lunch boxes which offer a nice variety at great prices. While Fugakyu is excellent, Mr. Sushi offers better value for the everyday sushi lover.
- Pros: Price, Easy Parking, Good Food
- Cons: Background music

This is a great place to eat sushi. The menu is great and everyone is really friendly. It's located in a great area and there is hardly ever a long wait.

My girlfriend and I come here consistently and not without reason. We're college students. And we love to eat sushi. For us, Mr. Sushi was a great find. The service we've experienced have always been good on all the occasions we've gone there to eat. The one male waiter is especially attentive. The spicy seafood soup was hot and very filling. The sushi always tastes fresh and satisfies our cravings. And this desert is just perfect: Green Bean Ice Cream with Red Bean topping. GET THIS! It's incredible! Every single time, even when we order excessive amounts of food, the bill always surprises us because it's cheap. Parking is not so difficult to find, and the atmosphere is casual and quiet, and the lights are a little dim, and the decorations are not too tacky. It's a great place to dine. We've never had to make reservations.
- Pros: inexpensive, delicious, comfortable
- Cons: parking may be a hard
