In ShortArea residents and nearby hospital workers fill Ma Soba's airy, multi-tiered dining room to satisfy their sushi hankerings. While the restaurant offers above-average interpretations of familiar Asian favorites (cloyingly sweet pad Thai, savory Bulgogi), it stands out for its innovative sushi offerings. Around 50 different rolls are available, including offbeat varieties like the "disco shrimp" (baked shrimp and scallop atop spicy crab) and "ninja" (albacore tempura, crab and avocado).

Not the best in Boston
By jaybar187 on 08/29/2006
I'm not sure why they were voted number one in boston. Fugaku is 20 times better, and they are both around the same price. I've ben to Ma Soba twice and the Sushi is average. The service is ok, same with the decor. Everytime i go to Fugaku i'm amazed with the sushi. I've been to about 15-20 sushi resturants in Boston so i hope i know what im doing

The service was avg... the food, OMFG it was so F***ing nasty that I almost became bulimic. Who ever mixed cream cheese and sushi together should be X out of the world of curlinary arts. The only THING that was remotedly edible was the ginger, wasabi, and rice. The critic who reviewed this place must not have a single tastebudd left. Don't let the picture and the fluff trick you into going there... they use CANNED TUNA for their sushi (they call it "Abacore") Trust me... I had better food at the homeless shelter.
