I had a really great meal here. Split a sushi boat with a friend, had a phenomenal pork bun , and crushed a delicious Scorpion bowl , complete with a flaming shot of sambuca in the center.

Basho's superb sushi list includes plenty of inventive signature rolls , and fresh ingredients flown in daily giving the restaurant claim to some of the best sushi in Boston.

Excellent service . I can't remember our server's name, but she was so nice and accommodating. Decent food, but they stopped serving wagyu beef about two months ago. Good option in the Fenway area.

(Best of Boston 2013-PRE/POST-FENWAY DINING) Improper Bostonian says, "When you're looking for something less likely to sink you into a sluggish haze in the sixth inning, walk a couple of blocks. "

Jeremy Krantz

Izakaya-style pub food with a modern approach and a sleek decor. A tad pricey but definitely a welcomed addition to the area

Melinda Green

Happy Hour ! 1/2 off great selection of awesome apps (Get: Tuna Kimchi Sashimi ) & sushi (incl. Crazy and Fenway Rolls!) Sunday-Thursday 10-11:30pm and Monday-Friday 3-6pm.

Try the miso black cod , served here with a little sweet citrus accent in the glaze. The Japanese method brings out even more richness to the white fish , always in a small portion, deeply satisfying. Read more

Get the ginger edamame for a spicy kick to start your meal, then indulge in a savory variety of sushi , sashimi , and Robata grill items .

Kárenly Nieves

There's nothing better than a good crunchy signature roll and a window seat...so refreshing!

Lisa

Get their spicy tuna , Boston or Spider roll ! Great place to have dinner and then head over to Citizen Public House next door for some unique cocktails !

Great gyozas ! Crazy roll and Seasonal fruit bowl are good too!

Boston Phoenix

Our critic was knocked out by the flavored sashimi platter , the kurobuta pork noodle soup , and the bellweather phoenix roll . The novelty is actually robata — neat little charcoal-grilled skewers . Read more

if you order noodles in soup , be sure to ask for the spicy broth ; it tastes of togarashi, but makes all the difference. #ramenquest

The tuna tataki is amazing, as is the kayaki....ask for lite cheese though. Scallop Kiwi roll I'd my favorite

Amelia Dixon

We loved the avalanche roll and the green monster roll . Everything here is fresh and delicious. :-)

Get some Shishito peppers to start off your meal. Great for sharing.

Great atmosphere. Creative menu. Good pork and duck ramen .

Head here for a free "Red Sox" roll during any home/away game or pop in from 3:30-6:30pm (or after 10:30pm) for $6 bar bites .

Eugene Kim

Hot new place down by Fenway. Great Ramen and Sushi . If Fried Oysters are on the menu, THEY ARE A MUST!

Miso black cod is delicious but sometimes they overdo it with the sesame oil . Sashimi is always extremely fresh as well .

Bomb-ass sushi . I had my birthday here once. It was unforgettably forgettable.

Wheel chair accesible, but the tables are very tight, if you have a lift, aim for the bar height tables on the far left.

Tina Yip

Fusion dishes are amazing. Sushi is not great though...
