Got the tuna nachos, samurai, rainbow roll, and salmon/tuna nigiri. Everything was great! I ended up sitting outside because it was a nice summer evening. Not too hot out. The nachos are spicy so prepare for that. Aubrey was my server and she was great! Very attentive. I didn’t feel like I was wanting for anything.
In all fairness we went in the middle of the afternoon, so take this with a grain of salt. The service was so so, not bad, not good but sufficient. Kind of what you get at 2pm on a Weekday anyway, right? The food was okay. I have had worse and I have had better but it was certainly palatable. If I were to retrun I would without my children. The place was clean and had a good vibe. They had outdoor seating and comfortable indoor seating. I would go again but I would try something else first.
The atmosphere is nice and warm but the food was just ok. I absolutely love the way the menus are set up. You can choose your meal and then look at the description on the back. I was not a fan of one of the drinks and the waitress was so kind to allow my table to select another kind of drink. We were all dressed up and nowhere to really go to.
TLDR: Mediocre service, outdated late 90s decor, sweet drinks, frozen potstickers, and "meh" sushi at this old stand by on Mass Ave. Not returning anytime soon without a major revamp. I was staying near Mass Ave and craved sushi. Decided to try FortyFive Degrees. I lived in the area for a decade and never came here as it always had OK ratings in comparison to other, higher quality sushi restaurants in the city. But, I was on foot, exhausted after a long 24 hours, and it was pride so I wandered over for sushi and people watching. The woman who greeted me at the restaurant quickly declared she was just a placeholder for the host and he'd be right back. No smile to welcome patrons. He did show up, and I was sat at the bar alone (I asked to be so). The restaurant is very late 1990s/early 2000s and needs an update. It looks like it's attempting to be a clubby cocktail bar meets Asian Fusion restaurant/bar one would find in Miami 20 years ago. Bartender was friendly, but, she cared more about entertaining regular customers than new diners. She'd often hold food or drinks for guests in her hands for up to a minute while talking to other customers, delaying delivery. Also little to no care about the presentation of the food when playing it down at one's table. Practically tossing it down or handing it directly to the patron. I ordered the French 75 and I only drank half of it. It was not a traditional French 75. It was made with a sickly sweet syrup or sparkling wine that made it taste like hummingbird juice. I could not finish it and was too tired to send it back. I had pot stickers which must have been from their food distributor. They were overcooked and tasted like the kind I buy at Trader Joe's but not as good because they were over cooked. The shrimp tempura roll was adapted without cucumber for me, which was nice. It was OK. Pretty boring - the sauce lacked any spices and the roll was just ok. Nothing life changing. I give two stars due to the lack of attention to detail by the staff, the gross cocktail, crappy potstickers, and outdated vibe. Given this review won't have much influence - the place was busy and seems to have no shortage of customers to eat mediocre food and experience service that prioritizes regulars and ignores potential future regulars. I also don't think telling management would have mattered, especially on an evening so busy.
During a business trip to Indianapolis one of our trainers took us to FortyFive Degrees after we had told him we love sushi and believe me, he was spot-on as this is some of the best sushi I’ve ever had!I would rank it in a top 10% of sushi places I’ve ever tried.Our waiter was excellent with service.He had our drinks and making sure we had everything we needed throughout entire meal.
This place is simply amazing! The food is phenomenal and the customer service is second to none! I had the peppered steak wrap and make sure you try the fries!
This place is extremely nice! Our server Mark was outstanding! Our food was hot and fresh..only thing was that since I only normally get a California roll sushi I had no clue what the others were because there were no pics of the different types..my friendsand I were new to this place..they should have a pic filled menu for newcomers..I probably would have tried more..it was all very good and all we had left were a couple slices of sushi..THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFULLY GREAT TIME! THANK YOU MARK FOR YOUR PATIENCE!
Sunday night!!If you love sushi ? this is the spot. On Sunday night you get half off rolls. I am vegetarian so that limits me to the Veggie And ultimate veggie. Next time I will ask to substitute the eel or salmon for a cucumber so that I can try different varieties.The vibe is classic MASS AVE. nothing to report thereThe drinks taste like $6 Sunday specials. It’s a requirement to buy a drink to get half off the rolls. I participated in a pomegranate mojito friends. It was okay.I don’t frequent this place often but may consider being a regular the Veggies rolls hit well with me. I prefer the wrap from the ultimate veggie than the seaweed wrap. sushi sushi!Like the pic friends!!!
Absolutely amazing. We went for Devour Indy as they had one of the better deals and the food sounded good. Good doesn't cover it! The pork chop was one of the best things I've ever had, it was absolutely amazing. The stuffed tilapia my husband got was really good too. And the tomato jalapeno soup was a great start since it's so horribly cold out! Our waiter was great too, super nice and friendly, amazing recommendations obviously. I can't wait to go back, this is an absolutely fantastic restaurant. Really pretty decor too!
Bright hip vibrant atmosphere, attentive waitstaff and decent quality sushi at an expected price.
