Good for groups

Hojoko is a rock n roll izakaya honoring the pulse of Japanese nightlife by serving sushi, robata grilled yakitori and street food small plates paired with craft cocktails, premium sake, wine, and beer. Located directly behind historic Fenway Stadium and walking distance from The MGM Fenway and The House of Blues, Hojoko is the perfect stop before any event.

Dishes like our Wagyu Cheeseburger, Wasabi Roulette, and our 48-hour Ramens keep locals and travelers coming back. Several unique spaces in the restaurant make it the perfect place for a business dinner, birthday celebration, or event gathering space.

This event was for four faculty members to congratulate on their recent promotion. The service and ambiance were exactly what they had hoped for!

Birthday lunch. Restaurant was empty but the service, food & ambience were excellent… we were very happy because we liked the impeccable service & yummy treats in a peaceful quiet environment. Decor is eclectic and modern, they gave us a free birthday dessert too! We will definitely return :)

Stumbled across this place before a show at the House of Blues. Amazing menu, very well executed - some Japanese, some Peruvian! Great cocktails and service, too.

The food was not as memorable as when we ate there a couple years ago. Was disappointed in the hospitality- we had an early reservation, requested a seat inside and they sat us on the patio even through the restaurant was empty inside. Would not return anytime soon
