My standby for sushi in Boston is FuGaKyu in Brookline. So far it's the
best sushi that I've had in New England. Any picks for the Boston area that
are at least as good as this one?

Yes, try Yokohama in Brookline (ask what is special).
Outside of Boston, Sushi Island in Wakefield is excellent.
Toraya in Arlington is also excellent. But these last two
are a big of a hike if you don't drive.

Thanks Dan, I'm making note of them. I like to go out for sushi when I'm in
Boston and a change of scenery is nice. I'm glad no one chimed in with Mr.
Sushi, maybe it is good but just the name turns me off.

I've tried two different Mr. Sushi, and neither of them wow'ed me.

When do you expect to be in town?

That wouldn't be nearly as much of a turn off as a joint called "Mrs. Sushi" :P

I went to this tiny little place in Woburn a few years ago that actually served
up really decent sushi that I enjoyed, which surprised me, as I was visiting
from Hawaii and was thoroughly disgusted at the quality of other East Coast
asian restaurants (Thai and Chinese, especially...utterly horrid!). But this
little joint in Woburn passed my taste test with flying colors

I just wish I remember what the name of the place was...

That would be Sushi Cafe, and it's change hands since your last visit.
Unfortunately it has gone down hill. If you liked Sushi Cafe, you'd
really like the other I mentioned. Sushi Cafe was cheap, but never had
great quality fish.

I like Blue Fin in the Porter Exchange building in Cambridge. I also
like the Ginza branches (one in Brookline, the other near South
Station).

I may take flack for this, but I'm also a huge fan of Gyuhama (across
from the Prudential Center). People have complained about service
(referred to the hostess as "Dragon Lady"). However, I've never
gotten anything but good service and extremely fresh sushi. But, I
stand by my opinion. They treat me good for whatever reason.
