Frommer's Review

On a side street in Chinatown, you'll find one of the city's best Japanese restaurants. Track down the nondescript entrance up the street from the Chinatown arch, settle into one of the two rooms (in a booth, if you're lucky), and watch as kimono-clad waitresses glide past, bearing sushi boats the size of small children. Ginza is a magnet for Japanese expatriates, sushi-lovers, and, in the wee hours, club-hoppers. It's not the only place in town where expert chefs work wonders with ocean-fresh ingredients, but it serves some of the most creative creations (including "spider maki," a soft-shelled crab fried and tucked into a seaweed wrapper with avocado, cucumber, and flying-fish roe). An excellent starter is edamame -- addictive boiled and salted soybeans served in the pod (you pull the beans out with your teeth). Then let your imagination run wild, or trust the chefs to assemble something dazzling. Green-tea ice cream makes an unusually satisfying dessert, but nobody will blame you for finishing with another round of California maki.

Ginza has a branch just over the Brookline border at 1002 Beacon St. (tel. 617/566-9688) that's open until 1:30am on Friday and Saturday nights, 10pm the rest of the week.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
