"OSushi with a young, fresh appeal: Malts and
cheeseburgers had a long run as the preferred food of the young.
That's so over. All you have to do is walk into Osushi to see the
generational new wave. Tucked into a nook between the Westin Hotel and
the Copley Place mall, this tiny place brims with youth. This isn't
your parents' malt shop. Instead, it's definitely a gathering place of
young and cool, and
toro (tuna belly) and godzilla
maki, the successor
to the burger of yore. Obviously, owners Timothy Panagopoulos and
Kenichi Iwoaka know their audience. The fish is fresh. The
sushi is
adroitly made so that the fish sits securely on the vinegared rice and
doesn't crumble apart when grasped with chopsticks. The
maki rolls are
pretty and the flavors distinct...The
toro is almost pearly pink with
a texture so soft it's almost like foie gras on the tongue.
Hamachi is
fine and firm, and even salmon, the warhorse of seafood on the
American table, has a lovely fresh taste.
Saba, with its forward
flavor and slightly oily texture, is a great accent point with other
milder combinations... Osushi hits the right notes in mood and menu. "

"Jet-setters dine in style at the city's coolest
sushi spot. The
simple menu is easy for
sushi newcomers to navigate, while offering
several intricate delicacies (tuna belly) that keep
sushi snobs
satisfied. Prices are reasonable, considering the excellent quality of
the ingredients." - Editorial Review by Eric Grossman, Boston
