Ebi Sushi
Ebi Sushi in Somerville's Union Square has been a community favorite since 2011, and it had a really gorgeous refurbishment in 2021, making it a fantastic destination for a date night. The proprietors are longtime employees of Cambridge's Porter Exchange's now-defunct Blue Fin. Sushi Kappo, a counter-service sushi burrito eatery that opened in late 2017, is Ebi's Fenway brother.
The torched salmon belly, a 10-piece omakase for $42, and the box-molded Somerville roll, topped with sesame-sprinkled tuna tartare and scallions, are two of the restaurant's most popular dishes. Start with whatever the daily specials are before going on to your go-go roll, and don't worry if you don't get a chance to explore the menu on your first visit; if you live nearby, you'll be back.
