Oga's Japanese Cuisine Natick

The rumor has it that Oga's Japanese Cuisine in Natick serves up some of the best sushi around and you don't have to mortgage your house to eat here, so I decided to give it a try for lunch today. Oga's Sushi dinner special changes daily and might contain fish flown in from Japan.

They are located just yards from the busy Rte 9, but there is plenty of parking. If you arrive via the scenic route (Rte 27), the good news is that if you go out the back, you can rejoin 27 without having to use Rte 9.

The inside was nice with plenty of space between the tables.

The sushi bar with the chefs working away.

The obligatory miso soup. The cute soy sauce bottle was a nice touch. Paper napkins weren't.

I went with the Sashimi Bento Box ($12.50) from the lunch selection. Not really sure what the app was but it has soba noodles and crab and stuff and was really tasty. The salad was nicely dressed and fresh, but the dressing was bland. The fish was excellent and super fresh and the pickled veggies in the middle was delightfully tart. The get minus points for including fake crab. Service was excellent. 
Note to self: Do NOT use Rte128 on a Friday before a long weekend. On the way back I had to get off at Rte 2 and take the backroads to get home.
