Basho is a Japanese word that is roughly translated as "location" or "a space where activities occur". It could be a family gathering, socializing with friends, or a business event; moreover, it could be the setting for an unforgettable experience. We call this setting "Basho".Basho is a contemporary Izakaya brasserie where dishes are prepared in two separate areas: the principal kitchen and the sushi bar. Rather than offering individual starters and main courses, Basho serves dishes that are designed for sharing and are brought to the table steadily and continuously throughout the meal.Your server will be happy to assist you in choosing dishes, such as our Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice Appetizer, which is highly popular or our specially crafted 1338 Signature Roll. We are also conveniently located within the heart of Fenway. If you're ever in the area for a Red Sox's game, stop by! We are only a 2 minute walk from Fenway Park!

    I don’t know why this is place is not packed . The food is excellent & the service is very attentive & nice & the price point is so reasonable compared to comparable places . The decor is the one thing I can think of . It’s kind of like a generic hotel restaurant so it definitely does not give a “ cool fun” vibe . It’s otherwise great !

    My husband and son each like their steak cooked differently. Well they received exactly what they ordered and expectations were exceeded. Our food was outstanding. I had nicoise salad which I know is a reliable filling meal. We started with the beautiful charcuterie board. A surprise of mac and cheese was a delicious addition to our meal. And the ES famous bread pudding brought a new twist with butterscotch (a flavor I do not normally favor) but just enough to give the dessert a delicious taste, and not too much to drown it with too much sweetness. I know I'll be back. I keep coming back. Oh and Pablo, our server - he's fab.

    Always delicious at Blue Ribbon Sushi. I think above all else I’m blown away by the hospitality. When you get a chance to visit, try the Ka cocktail (if you can handle slight spice in a marg), the CRISPY TUNA RICE, and the spicy crab roll - DIVINE!
