Best Japanese Restaurants in Auburn

I’ve been meaning to try Willy’s for a long time after getting a recommendation from a friend. Reservations need to be made well in advance for a booth but we got two seats at the Sushi bar 2 hours ahead. Full menu is available no matter where you sit. I got the 14oz strip steak with truffle butter and au jus, wife got the swordfish w/ beurre blanc. My steak was perfectly medium rare. My wife liked her swordfish but wished she got the steak. We got chocolate cake for dessert to go. Very rich and chocolatey. Overall the space is small and can get fairly lively and loud easily but felt like a good vibe anyway. My wife said they need a coat check for the bar seating it is definitely intimate seating. We had a great date night dinner for a great value and would do it again when we can get a booth.

This was our second time eating at Chashu Ramen + Izakaya, and it was just as good as the first. The ambiance and service is top notch! The restaurant itself has a great vibe. The food and drinks are also top notch! We started off our meal with the fried chicken and brisket bao, both were great the meat was tender and the slaw and sauce were a nice tangy contrast. The bao buns themselves were incredible; perfectly soft and pillowy. We both had ramen for a main course. I got the red miso tonkatsu and my partner got the ghost tonkatsu. Both were amazing, the noodles were perfectly cooked, the broth was rich and flavorful and the toppings perfectly prepared. A warning that the ghost tonkatsu was super spice was definitely warranted. It left us both with our faces flushed and noses running in the best way possible. Definitely one of our new favorites in Worcester!

Always wonderful food and service at Baba. Perfect for a date night

What a show, party and the food was great too! We can’t wait to go back!!
