Boston's affordable Japanese food god 🍣

🍣 Nagomi Izakaya: Boston's Budget-Friendly Sushi Sensation Hooked by Xiaohongshu recs, this hidden gem serves up quality that puts $200+ spots to shame (looking at you, Umami!). Trust me—both dine-in and takeout hit different, but chef's kiss either way. 🌟 Must-Order Dishes That Defy Price Tags Uni Don (Sea Urchin Bowl) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Dine-in portion is insane: piled-high orange uni that tastes like ocean candy, each spoonful bursting with briny sweetness. Takeout portions are smaller, but freshness is on point—pretty sure the chef sneaks extra uni when you eat in. 🦑 Sashimi Platter 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Salmon belly marbled like snowflakes, toro that melts instantly, snapper with clean ocean notes. Paying $60 for this in Boston? Unheard of. Grilled Saba Fish 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Crispy skin, flaky flesh—squeeze lemon over it, pair with miso soup, and you're transported to Tokyo. 💡 Pro Tips from a Regular Dine-in vs Takeout： ✅ Sit at the bar for front-row action—chefs sometimes give free uni samples! ✅ Takeout hack: Order the "Sashimi Gunkan Set" for max value at home. Skip These： Fried dishes (tempura is oily); stick to raw fish for best bang for your buck. The Math： $80/person (dine-in) = 80% of $200 restaurant quality. Save the rest for another meal! 📍 Where to Find This Sushi Steal Address：Nagomi Izakaya (Google it—worth the hunt for that uni don) Vibe：Casual izakaya with friendly staff—no pretentiousness, just good food. 🌟 Final Verdict: 4.5/5 for Budget Brilliance Nagomi proves you don't need to break the bank for top-tier sushi in Boston. Just don't tell too many people—we need to keep this gem low-key! 😉 #BostonFoodie #JapaneseCuisine #SushiOnABudget #StudyAbroadEats #NagomiIzakaya
