 Snappy Sushi, Located at 144 Newbury St, Boston, MA - "The clientele is mixed, from professional types on cell phones to students and the usual Newbury Street glitterati. The restaurant makes its name on good sushi prepared quickly--there's a full selection of traditional choices.
"Their rice is a daring
brown, seating is communal, and "fancy rolls" are boundary pushers that
borrow from other cuisines (ever see pineapple salsa or pesto in sushi?)."
They are unique and very cool.

Located at 398 Harvard St. Brookline Ma. - Review: "While Genki Ya is
perhaps one of the least known restaurants on Harvard Street in Brookline,
it may just be one of the best; the outstanding food, friendly service,
attractive interior, and fair prices all make this dining spot a must for
anyone who likes sushi. And their dedication to organic ingredients just
adds to the appeal of the place. Definitely a big thumbs-up for this little
Japanese restaurant between Coolidge Corner and the Allston border. '"
