Shhh... don't give it away :)

I mean: seconded!

Incorrect! Bluefin is overhyped. The sushi bar in the same building is cheaper and at least as good.

Actually, you're incorrect. I have a friend who's a seafood advisor to restaurants with a degree in marine biology as well as one in food science.

Bluefin is always at the top of his list. Kotobukiya is overpriced.

And you can't beat 32 pieces of Nigiri for $26!

I'm with you. I liked Bluefin until I started going to Asai in Belmont center and, although it's somewhat more expensive, it's so much better that I don't really like Bluefin any more.

Of course, it's not super-convenient to public transportation, unless you like commuter rails, but it's plenty bikeable.

i work down the street from asai. their sushi's good, huh? (i like their box lunches - not cheap but i'm always, always full.)

I've heard their lunchboxes are splendiferous! Unfortunately, I've not had the chance to try one. Hmmm....maybe this weekend...I've been stressed lately and could go for an awesome lunch... :)

I'm from Belmont, I'm not a fan of Asai.

Most of the bento boxes you find in local supermarkets around here are from Asai though.

May I ask why you don't like it?

No idea...I've only ever eaten it there. I would assume so.

Yes, I've done take-out from Bluefin.

Two that I like are Hana Sushi and Sei Bar.
I tend to go for non-fish sushi, though.

I'm sure you know that not all maki is vegetarian. There's also veggie nigiri - there's at least Inari (sushi rice in a sweet tofu pocket) and Tamago (sweet egg on sushi rice).

I second Hana, I've gotten food poisoning at Bluefin. Cheap != Good. Sadly somerville is lacking for really amazing sushi, for that you really need to head to Coolidge corner and hit Fugakyu, Tsunami or...the ones whose name I always forget...or for the best in the area, head to Oishii in Chestnut Hill. But I don't think that place is T accessable.

Oiishi is right off the D line, not that that doesnt' suck.

thanks for the tip!
i've lived in the greater boston area for about 2 years now, and haven't found any *really* quality sushi yet. hana comes close.
i'll try some of these in coolidge corner. thank you thank you.

Sei Bar in Medford! They deliver and they rock!

I like Bluefin.
I *love* Wuchon in Union Square. Of course, they're within walking distance of my house, which is nice!

I like Bluefin but they're always ludicrously crowded to the point where I won't eat there anymore. (And technically, they're in Cambridge, not Somerville.)

Hana Sushi is good, but again, they're in Cambridge. I like Yoshi's, just off Powder House Circle.

I second Yoshi! And I disagree with the other poster. I've always had wonderful service at Yoshi, usually the same sweet lady. I've never had bad service there and I have at many other Somerville eats.

If you go there to eat they serve the sushi in this really neat boat which I like because I'm a dork. They also deliver.

A friend of mine likes Sei Bar, I like Bluefin, although it can be crowded. And I dont' care much for Hana or Yoshi. Yoshi has TERRIBLE service.

Hana Sushi. Mass Ave, across from the MBTA bus yard.

Though, as others point out, it's over the line in Cambridge.

i prefer hana over bluefin.

i'd go to bluefin if i'm feeling like some average sushi, but for better quality i'd go over to hana.

if you're up for quantity and can get a ride, head out over to minado in natick: all you can eat sushi/japanese cuisine.

honestly, i haven't really found any sushi that is exceptional in the boston area, yet. i'm still searching!
