Was craving sushi and my friend suggested Ebi and I am very glad she did. I don't have many "wow"/ "yummm" food moments in Boston so this was a really nice surprise. Not only was the food good, but the place is so cute! The little soy sauce dishes had crabs/bok choy painted on them and just adds a playful touch. Tempura Appetizer {4.5/5}: I like how thin the batter was and how well each item was cooked. The dipping sauce (tentsuyu?) was served warm and was a perfect addition to this dish. Wish there were more pieces, small portion Agedashi tofu {5/5}: Loved this appetizer. The broth that the perfectly soft fried tofu was sitting in was amazing, I wish I could bring a bowl of it home. It would have been nicer in my opinion to have a thicker coating of batter to soak the broth up better, but that's just because I want an excuse to drink up more of that sauce... 30 piece sushi boat {4/5}: The pieces of fish were good in size in comparison to the rice. One of the white fish had a slight fishy taste (not in the best way) to me which is why I docked a star, but the other pieces were pretty good. We split this and the apps among 4 of us and we were comfortably full. Waitress was very nice and food was fresh and quickly brought out. Happy to be adding Ebi to the favorites list in Boston!

Great service, excellent cuts of fish and specialty rolls, and a great location with a good bar to sit and see the sushi magic happen. I'll definitely be a regular.

If you come here, get the chef omakase or selection of special nigiri. TO DIE FOR. the nigiri and gunkan are paired with embellishments like truffle mayo and green apple slices that will open up a new world of flavors for your taste buds. truly I was blown away. quality of the fish is fantastic and the cuts of fish are thick- they don't give you too much rice. came 7:30 on a thursday night and had to wait 35 minutes to get a seat. service was slow but the servers were kind which made it better. waited a long time to get our food which is what took it down to a 4 star. definitely will be back. love the hip and young feeling ambience inside!

I've heard about ebi for awhile and I'm glad I finally got the chance to go. The sushi tastes amazing! I got the 20 piece combo which you get to pick what nigiri you want which is nice (I feel like it's usually the chef's choice). They also got great Japanese beer on tap. I went on a Friday night at 6:30 and got seated right away, but the place can get busy quickly. The service was excellent, friendly staff and the atmosphere was lively! Great for a date or a group of friends. There is also parking on site.

I am honestly itching to come back here - the sushi was fresh, refreshing, and reasonably priced. We ordered the chicken karaage, the 5 piece sashimi, the Naruto roll, and the scorpion roll. The sashimi was fresh and the pieces were much bigger than I anticipated :) the Naruto roll is wrapped in cucumber and contains tuna, salmon, and avocado. The cucumber wrap made it so light and refreshing! The food did take a little longer than usual to come out (maybe 20 min) but it was a busy Saturday evening. I can't wait to try more of the special rolls and perhaps a cocktail!

Great spot for getting a warm bite of Japanese food in Union Square I liked the tempura shrimp and udon. The curry pork was not bad either

considering the interior of this restaurant with a sports bar section and such haha, I did not expect their sushi to be so good! I have found my new go to sushi spot. Good sashimi/nigiri for a good price.

TLDR: A $$-$$$ quality sushi restaurant in Union Square. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so you may end up waiting a bit for a table on a busy night, but they do have a very long sushi bar in you have a smaller party. The food was great and it came out fast, but the service was very slow and inattentive. We got one appetizer, three special rolls (~17 per roll) and one traditional roll. Ebi offers traditional rolls like spicy tuna or California but they don't list them on the website. What we ate: - Ebi Shumai (steamed). These dumplings came with a spicy wasabi that was so good I put it on my sushi instead of the regular wasabi! - Crazy Maki: If you like spicy tuna rolls, this is a must get! - Crispy Tuna Maki: Just a spicy tuna roll - Somerville Maki: This was repetitive to the Crazy Maki, so I wouldn't get them both. We prefered Crazy over Somerville. - Miso Salmon: This is a must get! Seems like a unique special to Ebi. Pro tip: At night you can get a parking pass from Ebi to park in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot next door. There is also a parking lot on the other side of the restaurant.

A sushi place hidden in Somerville that looks pretty average in the outside, but inside it's actually pretty nice and spacious. I came here mainly to try there sushi combos, but came out just wanting to try more things making my bill high LOL - Torched Salmon Belly ($4/pc) 5/5 SO YUM, FATTY, then you get slightly smokey flavor I wanted to get the Toro but it was market price so I wasn't sure what the price was for 1pc 20 PC Sushi Combo ($49) 4.8/5 This deal is pretty good if you're into nigiri you can also do just sashimi. You get 14 pcs of nigiri (of your choice) AND a special roll so we got the Miso Salmon Roll which is this crispy California roll with torched salmon on top and black truffle mayo (I love salmon). For the nigiri, we got a bunch of salmon and some yellowtail as well and the salmon was so fresh and fatty. I was savoring each piece Crazy Maki ($15) 4.5/5 I liked this roll as well! You get the crispy shrimp tempura inside with tuna on top can't go wrong Overall, I've only came here once. Idk why I haven't been back, but I think mainly it's because of how far it is from me to get some sushi. I'd come back for the combo though and though it was expensive, I think I'd get full off of a combo and another roll!
