    We arrived thirty minutes early, and the lunch shift host was super sweet. She did ask us to wait until our reservation time, since they were changing shifts. No problem. When we came back near our time, a man checked our name and said, “Give me 5 minutes…” They then proceeded to seat two walk-ins parties. On my third try, the head hostess was markedly rude and told me that we were not on the Open Table list. Really? B/c the first 2 hosts had no problem finding us. She then proceeded to seat us at a horrible table in the middle of the restaurant right by the bussing station. Pretty much every other table was available. We almost left right then. I’m glad we didn’t, because the server was friendly, and food was really good. My husband loved the sushi and the sake our server suggested.

    We chose Hojoko for pre-concert dinner with girlfriends. We had one of each sushi roll, a couple salads (the chopped salad was incredibly delicious) and cocktails. Service was friendly, they checked in but didn't hover. Cocktails were very tasty and had plenty of booze in them. Sushi were unique and flavorful. Ambiance isn't what you come here for. It was just average, but we didn't care! Busy restaurant, wide range of people here, would definitely go back next time we go to a concert at Fenway.

    It’s a great place to meet before a Fenway game. The focus is good and while of a Japanese taste, there are many items that Americans with less adventurous palettes would like. I loved their wagyu burger. The rest of my crowd had Sushi or ramen. We met, ate well and tried some some sake. It was perfect, and a short walk to Fenway Park.

    Loved this place before a Red Socks game! Kinda hard to find as Google maps wasn’t too clear on our walking directions but it’s at the hotel. Food was sooo yummy! Definitely order Shrimp toast! Would definitely come back!!!
