Boston's surprise Japanese restaurant | $90 per person is it worth it?
🍣 Mojo Sushi Review: $90 Omakase in Boston—Worth the Hype? TL;DR: Great for sushi newbies, but veterans should steer clear. Let's dive in! 🌟 The Good, the Bad, & the WTF 📍 The Hidden Gem (or Pit?) 30-min drive from Back Bay to Wakefield—seriously, who goes to Wakefield for sushi? 🚗 The vibe: American retro diner meets neon Tokyo, with a literal wooden sign in the dirt out front. Talk about low-key… maybe too low-key. 🌿✨ 🍣 Newbie-Friendly, Veteran-Confusing Topping Overload Alert 🚨 Chef told me to "savor toro's fatty goodness for 10 seconds"—but the mountain of truffle oil + crispy onions tasted like a circus in my mouth. Toppings > fish 100%. 🤯 Flavor Experiments (or Failures?) Imagine uni with matcha powder or tuna tartare with maple syrup. (Innovation) or distraction from fish quality? You decide. 🤔 Silver Linings ✅ Decent 刺身 (sashimi) for sub-$100—hello, budget-friendly raw fish! Perfect for Instagram: neon lights + quirky plating = feed goals. 📸 💣 Red Flags for Sushi Snobs Service? More Like Self-Serve 😒 Had to flag down staff for soy sauce… during an omakase. Yikes. Zero Omakase Rituals 🚫 No explanation of fish origins, zero sake pairing suggestions—just "here's your food, enjoy". Hmm. 💡 Pro Tips Before You Go How to Book:DM them on IG—no website, very underground. 📲 Who Should Go: ✅ First-time omakase eaters ✅ People who prefer style over substance ❌ Traditional sushi purists ❌ Anyone expecting high-end service Alternative Picks: For real deal omakase, hit up [Insert Reputable Spot] ($150, but worth every penny) 👌 🌟 Final Verdict: 3/5 for Quirky Vibes, 2/5 for Authenticity If you want Instagrammable sushi and don't mind confusing flavor combos, go for it. But if you live for pure fish quality, save your $90 for [Good Sushi Spot]. #BostonFoodie #SushiReview #OmakaseOnABudget #HiddenGemOrNot #StudyAbroadEats
