Basho - Boston

Never had broccoli, napa cabbage, or bean sprouts in my ramen. Go somewhere else for ramen (santouka). Rolls are decent tho.

This is been around for a while and I can't believe it took so long for me to actually eat here. Basho is a good fusion Japanese restaurant. I had the spicy miso udon noodle soup. It was good if you like miso soup but I asked for beef and they just added some cut up pieces of beef but nothing great...very average. The pork USA was good and the spicy tuna Maki roll was good too. I ordered two orders of uni they were good except I didn't really like the quality of rice. The tempura ice cream was very average. It was a little soggy and not enough ice cream. The mochi ice cream was okay too. The service was fine but it looks like a kid is too larger parties. I also sampled the sirloin beef and that was really good. I would come back here to try other things on the menu but my first impression was fine.

Great location. Excellent food. Wonderful service. Within walking distance of Fenway Park. Would certainly return when in the area.

Great food right next to fenway. Great service. Lots of selections. I went with the tasty roll. We also had edamame and the Tuna tempura mango salsa. The Phoenix roll was excellent as well. They have a great selection of drinks. I saw that they had a Japanese whiskey on tap. I need to come back and try that. We ended our culinary journey with banana Nutella gyoza. Just wow. It was served warm and the Nutella with banana tasted amazing.

I've been to Basho Japanese Brasserie twice once with family and once with friends. The cocktails were a hit or miss. I don't recommend the Fen Zu. It tasted like cleaning solution. Whenever I go to Basho Japanese Brasserie, I stick with Hot Green Tea. The food and service were always good. Some of our favorite appetizers are Pork Belly Steamed Bun, Shishito Peppers, Agedashi Tofu, and Robata items (e.g., Negi Chicken, Chicken Thighs, Kobe Sliders, Eel). Some of our favorite rolls are 1338 Roll, Summer Roll, and Shrimp Tempura Roll. Some of our favorite dinner entrees included their Maki and Nigiri Platter, Sashimi Dinner, Miso Yaki Dinner, and Pork Ramen. Our favorite dessert is the Banana Tempura.
