Basho Japanese Brasserie

Food was excellent. Didn’t like that we got charged for desert given it was someone’s birthday (most restaurants give the desert for free). Also cocktails were overly priced. Loved the ambiance and food was delicious. Overall I would definitely go again and do recommend it!

Average nothing special solid

Our group lunch, for 14, was very enjoyable. Service was very friendly and efficient and the food excellent.

Nice food, nice place, nice service

Great service and good food

Great food and service. We enjoyed a really nice meal before a Red Sox game. We will be back again.

Nice place with very good service. Sadly we were the only two people in the place so tough to judge the ambiance and the squid on the sushi roll we ordered was over cooked.

Not the best sushi I have had.

Waitress had too many tables but food was fine. Sorry they took eggplant off the menu

Daughter first Red Sox game.

Fantastic meal with creative sushi and terrific service for a group of 7!

Really nice experience. The food was great and so was the service.

Love the location, and the food is great.

Very nice place. I got sushi and a cocktail and a sake. I liked them all. Very interesting Cousy interior. Nice location

We enjoyed it. It was nice before we went to an event in the Fenway.

The fried chicken wings and sushi rolls were incredible!

Decent meal here the other night. The sushi was very good. We also tried the shrimp and shiitake appetizer, which was good, large shrimp, but a bit too much mayo on it in my opinion. We also got a yellowtail appetizer with jalapeño and it was a bit disappointing. For $14 we got 4-5 very thin slices of yellowtail, with a slightly too thick slice of jalapeño on top and very little sauce. The jalapeño completely took over the taste and flavor of the dish. We also tried the udon soup, which was fairly basic (just noodles and broth with a side of 2 shrimp tempura and 2 broccoli tempura. That was it. The tempura was a bit heavy and soggy, not light and crispy. I also asked for some chill powder for the soup and all they had to offer me was shiracha. There is also something just a little off about the atmosphere. The lighting is too harsh or bright. The music was rock and roll and there was a paint night going on in the restaurant. All of these things did not add to the experience. Nothing was terrible, but I prefer many other places.

The service was not good for this type of restaurant, the waitress messed up our order. We ordered chicken wings, 2 rolls and another dish. We never got the last dish and this was a simple order and can’t even get that right. She never bought out the soy sauce for the sushi until I ask for it. We ordered the fried ice cream and it was soggy and gross. The waitress never came by to ask how everything is or else I would have mentioned the soggy fried ice cream to her. I would not return back to this place and would not recommend it to my friends.

It’s expensive but good.

Excellent range of dining options, all of high quality in a very pleasant environment. I was disappointed to see that a favorite of mine, Okonomiyaki, was listed in the menu but has been discontinued as an option. Very rare to find it in Japanese restaurants yet an interesting and somewhat different dish than most.

Met here with a group of friends before a show at HOB. The food was really good and fresh. Limited GF. Miso soup and the mixed drinks were the favorites.

Basho is excellent for Sushi. We had the Fried Ice Cream; however, they fried it in the same oil they fry fish in and it tasted like fish. Very bad and made us rather ill. Beware of their fried foods, but the Sushi and Sashimi are excellent.

Food and service were fine. A little pricey.

Love this place! We go every time we are in Boston.

Very Limited gluten free options

Fresh fish, good drinks, excellent agedashi tofu

We came here for my boyfriend's birthday and we weren't disappointed! This was our second time here and it was just as good as the first time. The steamed pork belly buns are unreal.

Delicious food, great service

Another 10/10 at Basho! The gyoza , summer roll, fried rice and Basho boat exceptional! BEST sushi around and delicious cocktails! Joy us doing an outstanding job managing!!! Can’t wait to return!

Waiter was busy & it was a Saturday night, but took so long to place an order. Was given an attitude when asked about the drink menu & she seemed SUPER rushed and in a hurry. We got a large sake to split and only came with one cup, then took 10-15 minutes to get the 2nd cup. Waiter split soup on my phone, leg & table and we had to chase him down to get a napkin - he didn't even notice. Then they knocked the utensils out of my friends hands when she was mid-bite on accident, didn't even notice, and we had to chase them down again to get a replacement for that too. Food wasn't the best but did the job. Waiter was confused & came back twice to ask about splitting the check even after we gave two cards and said we "wanted to split it". Saturday nights are busy yes, but I'd probably never come here again or recommend it.

Food was excellent. Service was off. Our appetizers came after our main meals.

Nice buzzy atmosphere, friendly staff who were very helpful with arranging the table to suit our party, first class sushi, my favourite dish a mackerel starter, interesting twist on the rolls with some quite spicy, sort of a Szechuan take on Japanese food. We thought the bill very modest for this quality of food.

Basho never disappoints! Every time we come to Boston we eat here...always delicious. We got to try the new dim sum offerings, awesome cocktails and an amazing rice bowl! Our waitress was fantastic as well...she knew the menu in and out, giving us recommendations that were on point.

Great food, good service but drinks and food takes a little too long to come.

Their customer service was horrible. There were no one at the front, and the server was so rude. Could be because we are Asian since she seemed to attend the white couple at the next table totally fine. We felt totally ignored, felt even insulted by the way she spoke to us.
Food was ok, but way overpriced for what we got.

I had a reservation for 6:30pm , got to the restaurant right at that time. Didn’t get seated till 7:00, didn’t get menus , had to get up and go ask hostess stand for menus. Ordered food and drinks at approx 7:05 didn’t get drinks or even a glass of water till almost 7:30pm. Not sure what the problem was , but really not a good experience. Food was good though.

The food was good but the service was slow and horrendous. Had a 6:30 reservation and didn't even get seated until 7pm. Then it took another 30 minutes just to get a drink which was filled to the brim with 99% ice and no liquid. Had to ask just to get water, plates, napkins, chopsticks, basically anything. Very disappointing visit. I've been here before when everything was fine, but really had a bad experience this past visit.

Pregame of the redsox- understandably an expected busy night with a 6pm reservation for an 8:09pm game. two in my group had to leave before the food came out at 7:30 to not miss the first pitch. as responsible guests we arrived promphly at 6- sat until we grabbed somone at 6:15 for some attention, ordering drinks, etc. gave the waitress drink order and a few items to get started with, she cut us off " let me get this in and ill be back" . And the service went downhill from there. missing were soups, etc. by 7:20 after we had been starting at our massive sushi rolls order sitting on the sushi bar counter, we got hold of the manager who was very apologetic, we told them to cancel, yet they said we will will rush it over. 20% of our party had left by then. very unsatisfying wolf down of our food in record time with atleast 20% left on the table sadly we had to leave. i think the manager knocked a chunk off our bill, however damage done... wont be back before a game. - then getting up to leave- they put our shisito peppers down that we had ordered at 6: 15pm .. good laugh by all...

Service was awful! We say down and had to beg for water from three different people. It took 40 minutes to get out drinks and we sat there hungry and thirsty and nothing came. When it finally did, it was delicious. when the drinks came out (we had cancelled them- but she brought them anyway) the waitress did not make it complimentary which she should have at that point.

A little disappointed. The food was OK, but I have never seen such careless presentation at a Japanese restaurant.
