this is my business

GARI - Japanese Fusion Restaurant serves a unique blend of Japanese and contemporary Euro-American Cuisine. Our sushi bar stage is the centerpiece of the dining room creating the perfect stage for chefs to create fusion Makimonos (rolled sushi). Inside the kitchen signature East meets West dishes are prepared and presented with creative artistry. From the atmosphere to the variety of dishes prepared with premium ingredients, GARI - Japanese Fusion Restaurant is about enjoying great food and celebrating with friends and family. Boston Globe Magazine wrote: "In a tiny slice of Coolidge Corner is a huge taste of what next-generation restaurateurs are bringing to the Boston area. GARI - Japanese Fusion Restaurant looks, sounds, and smells like a trendy sushi bar on a precious piece of Tokyo real estate. Served in this fusion of bold design and intimate setting, it's another reason why GARI customers may never view sushi the same way again." Stuff at Night wrote: "Its super-chic interior makes it the perfect setting for an intimate date -- or any sushi gorge fest."

My experience at Gari was decent enough, but after having sushi at some other places in Brookilne/Boston I just wasn't feeling their stuff was that great. They do have very unique roll combinations and stuff you wouldn't find elsewhere, but nothing stood out. The cool bathroom is a plus, but not enough to warrant a better review.

Sushi is pretty good, but the roll sizes are small.

The alligator and caterpillar rolls are excellent, the black pearl is also great. In fact I have eaten at Gari's probably ten times since it has opened and I am always impressed

Chef Gary Huang is amazing! He has a flair of creating exceptional sushi. He is creative and has a keen sense of entertaining the taste palette. Without question, our experience (including Omokase) with Chef Gary has been the best sushi experience my wife and I have ever had.

Superb staff, very good food. The Volcano, their signature uramaki is a must have. Prices are OK, too. If you wanna save, stick to the traditionals.

Thank you Gari! A breath of fresh air into the stuffy Sushi establishments in this city. Gari may not be a hidden gem much more after the word gets out, but the menu is so unique and so fresh. The service was superb. Oh, and the kicker? A bathroom with a really cool sink (hey, it's important)!

Excellent lighting, excellent staff as well as a very fine hostess. I was usually not a fan of sushi until I came to this restaurant. Now I cannot wait to eat it. Very reasonable priced and excellent service. This is truly a diamond in the rough of all the sushi restaurants in MA.
