Jet-setters dine in style at the city's coolest sushi spot.
Located in the Westin Copley
Fine Japanese Cuisine
Fresh Sushi
If you have not been there, chances are you know someone who has, and
they can't wait to go back. This hidden gem, located in the lobby
area of the Westin Hotel Copley Square, serves up the finest sushi and
Japanese cuisine in town, maybe any town this side of Tokyo.
With both a local fascination and an international repeat clientele, this 41- seat, quaint and timeless restaurant is a popular staple that keeps on reinventing itself. The philosophy is simple: Osushi's commitment to authentic Japanese cuisine is its secret. You will NOT find "fusion" sushi
here, but the menu offers unmatched creativity, and guests will admire the "raw" sophistication of the pallet of a culture which has enjoyed the art of sushi for millennia.
If you've not been to Osushi, you've simply got to go!
The Scene Osushi's single dining room, with its frenetic street views and minimalist black and red decor, attracts Copley Westin tourists and sushi-loving movers and shakers. High-backed booths are perfect for couples looking to loosen up via the sake train (there's an excellent list, including a delicate, pear-infused variety). Harried hotel guests and solo diners can saddle up to the tiny sushi bar, where expert sushi masters dice and roll the night away.
The Food 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. After starting with an order of lightly-fried shrimp and vegetable tempura or one of the playful salads, move on to combination orders of sushi and sashimi that include a fantastically smoky miso soup and a simple green salad (which benefits from a flavorful sesame dressing).

Stayed at the Westin Hotel in the Copley area and was just delighted from this small but great sushi stop. My husband and I are from Southern Cal so we've had our share of sushi. My experience at his restaurant was excellent. Wait staff was great, food was fantastic...and let's not even mention the Mango Saketini. We ended up eating there 3 times out of our week visit. Will definitely be back.

Worth it!
By Redtail86
After a long day at work, I headed to Osushi with some coworkers. It was towards the end of the night, and although the servers were clearly looking forward to going home, nothing was sacrificed. Our glasses of beer were consistantly refilled by the server, and both the appetizers and entrees came along with perfect speed. The popcorn shrimp tempura was delicious, and the makimono was very filling. Essentially, this restaurant was exactly what we were looking for. The service was great, not too pushy, but we were never left wanting. After that experience, we will definitely be back in the future!

all around....just perfect
By roots214
The quality of food at this sushi restaurant was amazing! Then again....how can this place be around for so long if they ONLY serve sushi if the fish is not FRESH! I read all the reviews and find some people's comments hysterical. The servers are EXTREMELY friendly and the place makes me feel at home. What else can I say....that's why i keep going back!

Great experience at Osushi last weekend!

There are many good sushi restaurants in Boston, but none have compared to Osushi Restaurant in the Westin hotel. I just tried Osushi for the first time and all I can say is OTORO! Delecious Tuna Belly Sushi, Crystal rainbow maki, Lobster Tempura, all cut expertly by Chefs that are obviously very experienced. The food was so detailed and that was matched by servers who really payed attention to detail. I have never been in a sushi restaurant in Boston where service and food knowledge were so apparent. Even the manager came over and personelly graded fresh wasasbi on my plate. This is a restaurant I will reccommend to all sushi lovers!
Pros: Food, Service, Ambience Cons: Parking was tough
