This small (24 seats) restaurant could be found anywhere in Japan. One waitress and the Sushi chef. I usually go for their lunch Chirashi that is excellent but the quantity of fish has decreased over the years. Today I went for a lunch Bento Box with Pork Katsu. The pork was cooked well and I got both mustard and tonkatsu sauce. The goyza was cold as was the tatsuta-age. The miso soup was good but served in freezingly cold bowl. 2. They are now in a new location with a new menu. No Bento boxes at lunch. Toraya is back! A selection of DONBURI has been added (Egg omelet, rice and miso soup are included) to the lunch menu. The takeout lunch menu is way more extensive than the dine-in version. Strange that. I ordered the Sake Don (16). "Salmon over sushi rice". The egg omelet was very light and had something in the middle. Eel perhaps? The thinly sliced salmon was, of course, super fresh. The sushi rice was cooked perfectly and was at the right temperature. It was also appropriately seasoned. They have a Katsu Don on the takeout menu. Can I have it for dine in? No, we only serve sushi. This was a very light lunch. You better get here early, or you will have a wait. 3. Lunch Tekka Don (16) from @Torayarestaurant . "Tuna over sushi rice". I chose the marinated version, and it was delicious. Don't go if you are starving. Also, be sure to get here before noon; otherwise, it's a really long wait if they are busy. I asked why the Tonkatsu Don was only available as takeout? We only serve sushi inside. Doesn't make sense to me, but what do I know? 4. Lunch Kaisen Don (16). "Assorted fish over sushi rice" at @torayarestaurant. I have no clue what most of the fish was, but it was all beautifully presented, and the fish was super fresh. I finally figured out how to liven up the bland Miso Soup. Pour in some of the excellent soy sauce! .

2022 Update: still love it. Really well designed, airy space, great food and presentation. My kids were bummed they no longer had their old favorites, but still enjoyed the food. I loved the pork belly and tofu. Will be back to try other new items on the menu. So cozy and authentic. This was my second visit, and I was immediately transported back to that time I went to Tokyo and had sushi at a tiny place like Toraya. That flavor! You know what I mean if you love true Japanese food. I haven't heard this much Japanese spoken around me, in Boston. There were three separate parties of Japanese folks talking in Japanese. The waitress spoke Japanese. The sushi chef- I am pretty sure he is Japanese AND went to those old fashion sushi school. I can't think of any sushi place in the greater Boston area that is run by Japanese sushi master- I feel like it's a dying tradition at lease in the US and enjoy it while you can! (Vs. Uni which is also great, but that is almost different kind of cuisine in my book). Note: there is always wait so it is hard if you have little kids. There is no space to bring the stroller inside so plan accordingly. It's worth it.

I was told to better leave by attendanr. They were not able to accommodate request provided they had the capacity to do so. Incredibly rude. Unexpectedly rude. No tolerance to toddlers. Micromanaged by attendanr. Inflexible. A family of two were eating. A third member arrived and they were not able to accommodate them claiming they had no space. It was not true. There was plenty of space. The new family member who arrived was told to seat elsewhere. When family member insisted he wanted to seat with his family he was told it was not possible. Attendant told the eating party (the two already at the table) that she should have told them there w a third person coming. Really? Are rƩservations needed? Attendant was redirecting the toddler at the table without parents permission to do so. Toddler and parent were uncomfortable and unable to eat comfortably. Disgusting. Pictures will show the availability of the space as customer request for accommodate was denied
