What people say, in short
Several people recommend Laughing Monk Cafe, which has a sushi bar at the back of its Mission Hill room. One diner calls it traditional omakase with creative toppings, and another calls the back sushi bar's omakase spectacular despite an unassuming storefront. A third visitor says an all-seafood meal, with no wagyu or truffle, tasted delicious. Elsewhere, one commenter suggests its omakase as a less expensive way to get an O Ya-style experience, while another rates the Brigham Circle branch very good sushi but says it once used brown rice, which purists might dislike and may have changed.
