Best WLM Reviews
We visited on a Sunday afternoon in March, 2024 and were promptly led to a booth. After removing our shoes and stowing them under the steps, we reviewed the extensive menu and ordered. Service was prompt and friendly. All three of us enjoyed our meals immensely. I'm looking forward to visiting Bizen again next time we are here.
Though there are expensive items on the menu; we went with lunch specials (see the photo of the check and the food), green tea, and green tea ice cream. It was delicious and delightful.
The atmosphere is pleasant and the restaurant is beautifully decorated.
Absolutely delicious and very kind, accommodating staff! As a non fish eater they had delicious and affordable vegetarian options. Good & unique appetizers too!
The atmosphere is extremely inviting and friendly. It is absolutely some of the best Japanese food I have ever had. The sea bass was exquisite. The crispy outside and the center melted in my mouth. This is a must stop. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. Stop by today!
I don't mind paying for good food but this place is lot of money for mediocre sushi. Got take out last night. Was $150 for 2 people, and the woman on the phone was straight up annoyed when I didn't want to add a tip on top of the mandatory 10% gratuity required (I worked in restaurants for over 10 years and would have been very satisfied with a 10% tip on a to-go order. Much less work.) Sushi was just ok. Miso soup was disgusting, and black? And smelled aweful. Couldn't drink it. Normally don't take time to write reviews but I have felt disappointed over meals from this place a few times now so figured I'd share. Go get Indian or Thai or Vietnamese nearby instead!! Never been disappointed by either of those spots, and have eaten at them many times. Will never waste my money at Bizen again!!
Extensive menu, great service. I had a bento box and the sashimi was fresh with the portion size being good for the price. Been coming here for years and hopefully years to come
Michael and his team invest heart and soul to make this the best Japanese restaurant they possibly can create. They’ve been doing this since forever and have been a pillar of the great Barrington restaurant community since the beginning. And the food is fantastic authentic Japanese cuisine. We’ve had countless meals here, Thank you!
We really want to love this place.
We've been there a number of times, both when we would visit and over the past few years now that we live locally. We really like the seating booths, and the variety on the menu. The service is usually friendly and good (sometimes long waits to order and for food).
The problem is that the food is just constantly underwhelming, and sometimes bordering on just plain not good. We typically walk in excited, and walk out disappointed. They've raised the prices quite a bit in recent years, and if it were for great quality I'd not complain. But these are not $25 rolls. This is not a $30 piece of salmon. It pains me to say it, but we have recently questioned the freshness of certain ingredients.
I am sure there is a reason this place became a true establishment in Great Barrington, and we really hope they can take feedback seriously and get back to where they used to be. There is truly a market for what they are offering, I look forward to them getting back on track.
Definitely recommend selecting from the Anniversary Menu! Each year for the anniversary of the restaurant, they create a special dish and add it to the menu. Eat like you're in a time machine ~ and try creative dishes with cute names! Pro tip: the salmon has been consistently fantastic throughout 2024 Q1 ~ hope it continues indefinitely!
