Sushi Restaurants in Boston worth going out for.

Temple Records: Vinyl Listening Bar & Sushi Speakseasy

Every day at 5pm

Temple Records · Downtown • $$

Spin records and nigiri at this 32-seat listening bar where vinyl rules the sound system. A hidden sushi counter downstairs serves hamachi and karaage, with every cocktail and plate treated like a personal project.

NOHRI

Chinatown • $$$

Nohri serves boldly seasoned Peruvian-Japanese sushi where hand rolls and crudos shine without a drop of soy sauce. The intimate chef-driven spot keeps things fresh with a menu that changes regularly.

Wa Shin

Bay Village • $$$$

Chef Sky Zheng serves Edomae-style omakase at a hinoki counter, letting pristine fish from Japan and New England speak for itself across 18 precise courses. It is quiet, intimate, and genuinely interactive: Sky has personality, and the team knows sake inside out.

Shore Leave

South End

Descend a few flights and land in a Polynesian daydream: kitschy decor, strong tropical drinks, and a sushi menu that skips the California rolls in favor of wagyu skewers and dan dan noodles.

No Relation

South End • $$$$

Slip through Shore Leave into a basement hideaway where nine lucky seats face a chef who'll guide you through a long, transportive omakase. The fish is pristine, the sake pairings are thoughtful, and the whole thing feels like a delicious secret.
