Irashai Sushi and Teriyaki Is Opening on the Edge of Boston's Chinatown

A new Japanese restaurant and sushi bar is planning to open in downtown Boston, along the southern edge of Chinatown.

A poster on the Chowhound site has mentioned that Irashai Sushi and Teriyaki is going to be opening on Kneeland Street, just east of the main part of the Theatre District. The restaurant's website indicates that it is moving into the space where Pho Thien Thien had been, and before that, several other restaurants.

There is no indication right now as to when Irashai Sushi and Teriyaki might open, but it does not appear that it is quite ready to open just yet, based on the Chowhound post. Once the restaurant does open, its hours of operation will be 11:00 PM to 10:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.

[August 17 update: According to one of our posters (and confirmed by us today), Irashai Sushi and Teriyaki is now open for business.]

The address for this new Japanese dining spot is: Irashai Sushi and Teriyaki, 8 Kneeland Street, Boston, MA, 02111. The phone number is (617) 350-6888. And the website can be found at: http://www.irashaisushi.com/
