Surprisingly enough, it looks much better inside though I think that they could use a new carpet right away.  The sushi bar is also attractively laid out the Korean waitress greeted us warmly and right away offered hot green tea, which we both love to drink rather than water (all those anti-oxidants are wonderful).  

The lunch  menu does not offer many choices so it is best to go with one of the sets.  I chose the tempura set that comes with a bowl of my favorite miso soup and rice.  My wife, who loves all kinds of rolls and sushi, was able to order from another very large menu - you basically pick what you want and they make it right in front of you.

We were impressed with both the dishes and will definitely go back.  After including drinks and tips, we spent around $25 for our weekday lunch. Somewhat expensive but do not forget that my wife had sushi (always expensive) and the quality was excellent.

If you are new to Boston and visiting as a tourist, Porter Square has many such restaurants.  The food is authentic and not as expensive as eating in Boston or even in Harvard Square.  Porter Square can be reached by train but since we come from the suburbs, we drove in.  Unlike Harvard Square (where finding a parking spot is a nightmare, particularly during summer), parking on the street is not that difficult either.  Another secret that I can share with you is that if you don't find a spot on Mass Avenue, then just go grab a space in the huge parking lot of the Porter Square shopping plaza.  The parking is free and there is always someone leaving since most people go there for their groceries.
