restaurant week: osushi

To kick off restaurant week in Boston, we chose OSUSHI for lunch. While their menu was packed with specialty rolls and combos, the restaurant week menu was straightforward including standard Japanese sushi bar food. Initially hesitant because two of the courses only had one option, we opened up when the kind waitress allowed us to move from the dim-lit booth to the high chairs. http://www.osushirestaurant.com

  it rained all weekend in boston. so gray and miserable outside.

• 

  first and second course: miso soup and house salad. it was our first time having baby mushrooms in our miso soup, which made it earthier and heartier. the house salad came with lots of mixed greens, tomatoes, rice noodles, and sesame soy sauce dressing - very fresh tasting.

• 

  third course: steamed and fried shumai. yum.

• 

  fourth course: spicy tuna roll, tuna and salmon sashimi rolls. thick tuna and salmon pieces on top of bite size pieces of rice made this dish so filling.

• 

  we ordered a caterpillar roll in addition to the restaurant week menu.

Atmosphere
Located near to the Westin in Copley, the one-room restaurant is small filled with mirrors, tall windows, and dark red and black colors.

Service
The service was standard. Our first waitress allowed us to move to another table. The food took awhile to come out, but when it did, the first three courses came out within 10 minutes of each other.

Food
Overall, the flavors were classic Japanese and very filling for lunch. We even had leftovers, which is rare for us.
