The Mad Monkfish

The food was amazingly delicious. Especially sushi and nigiri! Listening jazz at the same time makes the experience unforgettable. This Jazz and sushi concept I liked the most ☺️ The stuff was also very friendly. Only drawback is that we need to leave around 20:30 as they are getting the second round of tables but they communicated that well in advance! Highly recommended!

I left feeling really confused about this place because it didn’t seem to know what it wanted to be. The restaurant has three completely different rooms—one with live jazz, another with random décor—and the whole vibe felt mismatched. The menu was just as all over the place: one side was sushi rolls, the other side Thai and Chinese dishes. We ordered the chicken satay with Thai flavors and a couple of rolls. The food was solidly mediocre, nothing memorable, and the rolls were on the pricier side. It was pretty busy on a Friday night, but I honestly don’t understand the hype—maybe people come for the sushi boat? I’m not sure. I don’t think I’d go back.

I'm giving a one-star because we visited for the jazz. Now the sushi was cool, but let's be clear; whatever live set they had going was NOT jazz. We had to leave because it sounded so bad--like kids playing with instruments. The whole thing was a joke, especially the drummer.

I went for their jazz + dinner evening and enjoyed it very much. The music was lovely. The sound was at the volume that was allowing you to have a conversation at the table - but it was also a "statement show" enough that if you come primarily for music, you'll IMO also enjoy. The service was swift and attentive even though they obviously had a few dozen people to be served at once. Solid food.

Food and service was excellent. I was hoping that the food was spicier than I had received, but I'm not gonna complain about food that tasted so good.

Came here for my birthday dinner on 1/16 and we had such a great time. The restaurant was very accommodating since we were a big group. We liked how the diverse the menu was across different Asian cuisines. The jazz band was also amazing.

Excellent spot for American style sushi with some classics with some spunky creative rolls. Everything is presented with a little bit of pizzazz. A little pricey for what it is. But not surprised since it’s in Cambridge. Good for a date night or a nice casual outing. Would recommend trying once or twice. They do live jazz on the side and you can hear a tiny bit of it in the other dining section.
