The food is top notch. There is not one item on the menu you wouldn’t love. The spicy miso ramen is packed with flavor, the karaange chicken is the epitome of crunchy fried chicken, and the potstickers could have kept coming all night. The ambiance, music, mood lighting and decor made this one of my new favorite spots.

Food was delicious and vibe was great, but the service was a bit slow. We got a round of food before our drinks came, we had to remind the waitress of everything we ordered twice before she’d remember to bring it. Brought some peoples entrees before others got drinks. Overall they could have been a bit more attentive. But the food was delicious!!!

Miso soup - perfection! California Roll - best my 18year old granddaughter ever had! Mushroom Noodle Bowl - perfectly balanced - salty, a touch sweet, richly umamimous! Staff friendly, accommodating (we arrived 20 minutes early and were seated immediately.) Service, including explanations of unfamiliar ingredients, impeccable. Vibe is vibrant yet laid back. Colorful lanterns, big screen anime video against the back wall, view of the Verb Hotel and pool, with outdoor tables, warmed by tall cones of flame in heaters. Not overpriced - well-worth every penny. Looking forward to coming back!

The food was great and we loved the vibes but the service was very slow. Food runners brought our sushi then we waited 15 mins for soy sauce. Then came our ramen but we again were waiting to get our servers attention for spoons. This won’t keep us from returning but my past experience dining here were much better.

I really wanted to like this place. Went on a date on a Monday night and the location was pretty loud even though there weren't many people there. That was fine, though the tables were small. We had to shift things around often to make space for drinks and food. The drinks and cocktails were pretty good. Not anything revolutionary, but while I won't be back for dinner, I can see myself stopping at the bar. The food was the dealbreaker for me. We ordered the wasabi surprise sushi. The idea is fun, and if you get the wasabi it will melt your brain, but the sushi not-wasabi-fied was rubbery and gross. The truffle mushroom sushi was also a weird texture and temperature that made me gag. I'm still feeling sick today by how much I didn't enjoy it. I've never had a problem with sushi, but the stuff here made me think that this must be what it's like for people who don't like sushi. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Overall it's a neat spot, just wish the food was better.

Food was very good but limited selection on the sushi end of things which is why I booked it. I booked a reservation on the patio but that wasn't open but they put us by the big open door on to the patio so that was nice. I have to say service and noise level was pretty good considering there was a game at Fenway. If I had to complain about anything it is that the martini that I ordered dry wasn't as dry as I would like. I'll certainly go back because their ramen looks pretty great.

We were very excited to try Hojoko and we’re incredibly disappointed. It has a nightclub atmosphere if you are into that, it’s very loud and everything is squished in together. There were some nice things about inside but overall it was a little too fast food/ party for my taste. Then we go the food. It was incredibly disappointing and bland. I have had better sushi from make and take sushi places. It was tiny portions with zero flavor and the price made it one of the most expensive meals we had in Boston. When I spend that much I expect either flavor or quantity and got neither. It was the most disappointing meal I have had in ages and will never return

My husband got the burger which he said was pretty good. I got the chicken ramen which I loved. Hubby said if he could go back and order again, he'd get the ramen. Also, sushi was so fresh. Would come back for sure.

My husband and I always book a room at the verb every year for our birthdays and go to Hojoko. We are never disappointed by the food or drinks The bar was super crowded last night and Carlos was the only bartender who was even remotely involved in getting our orders. He was amazing

Food was delicious, but the service/kitchen system needs help. We ordered 2 starters and 5 meals. 2 hot meals came out 5 mins after ordering. Then 1 starter. Then another hot meal. Then, believe it or not, our dessert came out BEFORE the rest of the food. We were celebrating a birthday and had let the server know and they brought us dessert with a candle, while full knowing, everyone still didn't have their meals. Finally the last two cold sushi rolls came out. And lastly, our last starter. I've never seen anything like it. Thankfully, the food was good. The atmosphere was fun and we made the best of it.

Great place to dine before a concert at the new MGM Concert Hall behind Fenway. Fun vibe, great staff, creative Asian cuisine. Can’t wait to go back.

It was ok I didn’t expect cheeseburgers on the menu but my cousin loved he and kimchi rice was delicious. Noise level was uncomfortable but I did enjoy it for my birthday
