Symphony Sushi

Symphony Sushi serves Japanese food on Gainsborough Street, close to Symphony Hall and Northeastern. Sushi and sashimi are part of the menu, but cooked meals are well represented too. Lunch bento boxes include choices such as chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki and beef with onions, served with rice and miso soup.

That gives you a choice between assembling a meal from sushi orders and choosing a more complete lunch in one box. The restaurant offers online ordering for pickup, and it asks customers to call, rather than email, for reservations. Its address is 45 Gainsborough Street, making it convenient before a nearby concert or between classes. Lunch specials have their own availability window, so check the menu being served if you arrive later in the afternoon.
