Everyone said that when I moved to Worcester. And yet...none of the places I like are on Shrewsbury St.

I like breweries on Shrewsbury St - Redemption Rock, Wormtown, and The Pint...that's about it.

OP, for Spanish tapas go to Bocado. For Mexican in Worcester, I prefer Pepes Taqueria near Tatnuck. Puerto Rican, go to Nuestra. I like Volturno for neopolitan pizza; Boomers for greek pizza. Hipster/American- Deadhorse Hill. The best breakfasts are at Alteas (I'm not a pancake/French toast guy. If you are, go to Miss Worcester). Sushi...ehh hot take but I dont love any of the sushi places in Worcester, including Baba. Still on the hunt for good sushi.

Issue with Baba?

Baba is junk sushi. Fish is good, tooooooo mannnnny sauces (look at sushi from Japan, almost all have no sauce, and if there is sauce, its lightly applied).

My go-to sushi place is Soho Worcester, good (not great) sushi at a fair price.

I like Baba for exactly what it is. I generally prefer simply prepared Japanese sushi, but sometimes I want a chef to throw something different out there. I like the sauces, but agree they are a little heavy handed. That’s why I like Yama Zakura too.

Soho does look good and the prices are nice too! That’s in the old Friendly’s on Park right?

While we are in that part of town, have you been to Kisoro?

Yes, the old Friendly's. They have a two or three roll maki lunch special which is a good deal.

Havent been to Kisoro, sounds like I should try it?

I went to Soho today! Got the sushi and sashimi lunch. 6 assorted sashimi, 4 assorted sushi, Cali roll, $15. Great simple sushi lunch.

I asked about Kisoro because I haven’t been either. I was hoping for feedback.

Parkway Diner on Shrewsbury St makes a damn good breakfast, is relatively inexpensive and they have a full bar. Other than that and Via, I agree. There’s a lot of restaurants on Shrewsbury but they are mostly only ok.
