Mr. Sushi

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

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!

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

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

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

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

I experienced a new level of bad service at Mr. Sushi. My party of 4 and I arrived on Wednesday night I asked how long the wait would be "I don't know" with quite a serving of attitude was the answer. 15 minutes later my friends and I were seated. Some of us wanted sake, the others wine so we ordered individual glasses. The wine was sour and while it is not our habit we asked the waitress for something else after barely taking a sip. The waitress shook her head at our request, rolled her eyes, made quite a scene and asked "you want to CANCEL the order?" After we suggested sake instead she shook her head, let out a big sign and said "OK" in a fairly condescending tone. Our presence was clearly an imposition for her so we left and went to Takeshima, where they were delightful.

Pros: easy to get into

Cons: , Service is horrible

We have ordered in from Mr. Sushi on several occassions. They are perpetually late and this time it took them an hour and a half to get the food to our apartment. (you can walk there in 15 minutes). The always forget the salad unless you specifically ask for it though it's included with the main dish. Go there for the food but FORGET ORDERING IN!

Pros: cheap food, ok quality

Flavorless fish, not very fresh, tastes like it's been frozen. Watery, flavorless miso. I think this must be prison food in Japan. The only fish-related stuff that's palatable here is heavily doctored with spicy mayo and other flavor-masking ingredients in rolls. Don't eat the sushi or sashimi.

Cons: bad food, old plum wine, really bad music.
