The food is great. Our favorites were the ribs, dumplings, and the tuna. They also have a great sake selection. The ginger ice cream sandwich was also a great way to end it.

SOOO good! Everything was amazing. I am still dreaming of the lobster roe pasta. I came with a group of 4 and we all agreed this was our favorite meal in the Boston area. The ribs and pork belly were both cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. I’m usually not a dessert person but we ordered 5 desserts for the 4 of us because they sounded delicious and they did not disappoint! The strawberry tapioca was my favorite but all 3 were great and not too sweet. Can’t wait to visit again!!

Husband & wife take on a modern izakaya featuring fresh New England ingredients. Come here if you’re looking for a menu curated with tender loving care and a rotation of fresh seasonal seafood and veggies. Also – come for the sake selection!

I got the pork belly, the scallop sushi appetizer (it was a daily special so might not be available all the time), the mochi dessert, and the sweet sake flight. The food was all delicious! The pork belly was crisp on the outside and soft inside, and the star of the dish for me was the cabbage in it. The sake flight was a decent price considering you get three half glasses for the price of two. I did expect the pork belly to come with rice, but it didn’t so I ordered it as a side — the dish was not very salty so I didn’t really need the rice. The mochi I felt was a teeny bit overpriced for the size, but it did seem authentic and handmade. If you’re looking for a sweeter dessert, I would say choose something else because it’s not very sweet (as is traditional). Overall the meal and sake were delicious and the vibe is intimate but not stuffy or too formal.

I love Judy’s Bay! Food is incredible and the vibes are immaculate! We had sake, oyster mushrooms, lobster roe pasta, fried rice, negitoro rice, miso pork belly, miso ribs, and a matcha sundae. Everything was chef’s kiss

This is a restaurant that offers a good variety of sakes. They offer sake flights on the menu, which was awesome that I could teste a small quantity of each. We tried all the flights and the “variety flight” was the best. The “Yuho” sake was my personal favorite. We also ordered some tapas to share – Sake Chicken, Miso Ribs, some veggies, and the today special. I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite and all the drinks in Judy’s Bay. The atmosphere was chill and the staff were really friendly. The only downside was all staffs were extremely busy. You need to wait quite a while in order to get someone to help you with your order.
