Karma

Come visit us for a taste of Asian Cuisine that you will remember. We have a large selection of Chinese and Japanese entrees, Malaysian Curry selections, Sushi & Sashimi.

Fusion sushi, a cross between Japanese flavors and delicate sauces and styles of France, is Karma’s specialty. Our chefs add their own personal style and the outcome is so amazing that it has an almost addicting quality to it.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Great Asian fusion restaurant! Nice ambiance, and clearly popular. Food had good variety, and was all very tasty. Hot (temperature wise) food arrived hot on the table - a credit to their kitchen organization and service. Wait staff, as already indicated, good with delivering food. But very pushy when it came to ordering and paying the bill, for example, by demanding an order more than once before we had had time to work through the menu. Maybe they had been instructed to achieve a rapid turnover of tables, or it could have been an aggressive individual, but I didn't feel we were allowed a relaxing meal. I don't want the size of this negative part of the review to overwhelm the positive part, but to be a careful explanation of why I gave it four star and not five stars, which it would certainly otherwise have deserved.

This is our go to Asian restaurant. Good sushi and a wide variety of Asian fusion dishes. I keep trying different dishes and I have yet to be disappointed.

Asian restaurant in Concord across the street from the train station. The restaurant is medium sized with a large bar area, an additional sushi bar, and an area of tables. We came at 5pm on a Saturday and the bar was pretty full but the tables were empty. They were doing a booming takeout business, and there were six guys preparing sushi. I had Lemon Basil Maki which was delicious. Service was fast and friendly. This is very different from Karma Burlington, there is no indication that they are related.

This is our go-to Asian food place because they serve excellent Chinese and Japanese (including sushi) dishes. The Mongolian Beef and the seared tuna with truffle are standouts! We also like the fried rice. They also have a nice specialty cocktail menu with a few tiki drinks. A couple of tips: they get busy so if eating in make a reservation or they do have a nice bar area where you can also eat. There is parking across the street by the train tracks. For dessert, we normally go across the street to Bedford Farms for ice cream!

I’m so glad that I found this place! It has a great dining atmosphere and the food are excellent! My favorites are the tuna taco and mango salads. Their sushi are freshly made and I love the special sauces that came with it. Karma made Asian food very innovative which gave me a fun dining experience. In addition, I recommend to try out their cocktail menu and I think it’s great to grab a drink with friends and chill in there. Great food, great service, will come back again!

Rainbow Special Jalapeño, Phoenix Sunrise, Spicy Lobster, Lemon Basil Maki were great but the espresso martini stole the show. Will be visiting often!

I came from Canada for vacation and stayed at concord. Came to this restaurant once and was impressed with the customer service of Sam so came again on October 15, 2023. Thanks to Mr. Sam. Pass our appreciation to him. Excellent service keep it up.

The cozy ambiance does big favors for this establishment. The spring roll offering is nothing to write home about, and plate sizes are modest. The staff seems to be a bit on auto-pilot, which can leave the connection to hospitality wanting more. Great location, and inviting decor breathe enough life into this Concord eatery.

The food is amazing. Whether I dine-in or order takeout, the food quality is superb every time. The best sushi I’ve ever eaten. The staff is so friendly and professional too, which is refreshing. It is pricey

This place! The decor, atmosphere! Huge menu! Food is so tasty! We have tried so many dishes. Try it you will have a delicious meal.

I had the opportunity to try Karma out recently. The food was excellent. The presentation of our selections were excellent. The amount of food was just right. Karma infuses their own signature on recipes that I have found in other establishments. The food did not disappoint. The service was great. The wait staff and management made sure everyone was taken care of and had what they needed. Our party of three were able to enjoy our meal without distraction from other clients. Karma is great for both formal and informal occasions. I highly recommend Karma.

The atmosphere is asian bistro with energetic music that doesn't overwhelm conversations. The menu has excellent variety and the vegetarian section, I understood, is actually vegan (no egg or dairy). My Ma Po Tofu was silky soft and wonderfully seasoned, though it could have had chopped mushrooms and more Sichuan peppercorn for my tastes. Staff was attentive and friendly in an absolute mess of a crowd plus takeout. This place is a gem, even with Boston prices.
Greg P.   June 16, 2023
This is one of Metrowest tops Asian restaurants. Sushi and Chinese style dishes are my favorite.
Alexis C   May 28, 2023
Excellent experience here. The staff got us seated right away even though it was busy and we didn’t have reservations. The food and drinks were absolutely incredible, as was the atmosphere. Our waiter was also extremely helpful, explaining our options and prices. Highly recommend!!

I love Karma. I’ve been going there since they opened six years ago. It’s hard to pick a favorite dish but of course tuna taco is wonderful, so is spicy lobster bomb, duck bao, salt and pepper wings, and any sushi. I really like spicy tuna tempura with volcano, but just a nice piece of yellowtail nigiri is always excellent too. The Mai tai at Karma is famous and their bartenders Steve and John are both wonderful. My favorite waitress is Amanda. She’s been there since the beginning and she is so kind. The family that runs it is fantastic and really gets to know their customers. I cannot recommend Karma enough. Love it!

Brian Gareau   April 25, 2023
Outstanding Asian fusion. Excellent sushi and really fun cocktails such as a range of tasty martinis. Good beers on tap and great warm food options. Over the past few years the portions have shrunk a bit, the staff has gotten a bit rushed, and the maki rolls etc. have gone up in price, so 4 instead of 5 stars. 5 years ago this was a 5 star outfit- still well worth a try.

I’ve tried so many Pad Thai in Burlington-karma and Westford-karma, and also some Thai restaurants in LA too. Here’s the best pad Thai I’ve ever had. It is the real good pad Thai. Karma concord food are very well taken care, they are really serious on the details of the food. Love it. Thank you.

We visited on a busy Saturday night without a reservation and were accommodated by the lovely staff. Food was flavorful and very appealing. Great ambiance, wonderful staff and an overall fulfilling dining experience. A place to visit if you're in Concord and want good food that's offered at a decent price too.

Quality food with fast service. Large menu of familiar items, fusion items, and unique Asian dishes.
nicole monteiro   September 19, 2021
The food was pretty good. Service was ok but my husband asked for another Pepsi and never got it and when I asked what the difference was regarding their 3 different scorpion bowls I was told "they come in 3 different colors." I gave 4 stars because the food was good and the atmosphere was chill but there is room for improvement when it comes to communication and service.

This is not your average sushi joint! Karma delivers on all levels - From the moment you walk through the door, you’re struck by the unique decor and ambiance. The expansive menu offers something for everyone. You can enjoy everything from fresh oysters topped with quail egg and edible gold leaf to their Alaskan king salmon which is literally cooked at the table right before eyes. Every dish we tried was fantastic and this is definitely a place I would recommend to family and friends. While the food is enough to knock your socks off on its own, the real star of the show at Karma is Gerald. If you’re lucky enough to be served by him, you’re in for a treat! His specialized knowledge and expertise is truly second to none. He made numerous suggestions for our group based on our individual preferences and each was better than the last. His advice in pairing certain drinks with the food only added to the amazing evening. On top of it all, his service was punctual, friendly and just a ton of fun! He is an asset to the Karma team and a big reason as to why our meal was so special. Thanks again for an amazing time! I’d highly recommend giving this place a try, as it’s easily become one of our favorites in the Boston area.

Some of the best Asian cuisine west of Boston. Top shelf ingredients creating great flavors. Whether it's Mango Shrimp or sushi, you will have no complaints with the food.

Great sushi. Exquisite service
david still   October 7, 2020
By far one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to. Karma provided a great environment to relax and eat. The food took just the right amount of time to make it to me and was very tasty. Staff was very helpful and fun to talk to. Unlike traditional restaurants, the staff at karma makes you feel at home and not on edge when asking for your order. I had a real good time and I highly recommend that you try this place out. You'll be happy you did!
Blaine Lloyd   October 3, 2020
This restaurant is my number one restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this place. everytime I feel like having a good supper, this place comes right away to my mind. outstanding and all kinds of food and a large list of dishes.well mannered crew, and pleasant spirit. In addition to that, the price is modest. I suggest this spot with no hesitation.
Ayesha Ahmad   October 1, 2020
I love love this place! I'm a vegetarian so it's hard to find Asian restaurants that cater to my kind of croud. But the selection is very good and delicious. The ambience is superb. The staff is super nice. I love the drinks too. Especially dragon bowl.

Was in the area visiting Walden Pond. Found the food tasty and "clean". Didn't feel lethargic like after eating some Asian food. We shared tangerine chicken, beef with garlic and ginger as well as some noodles. Staff was very attentive and had good Covid procedures in place.

Ordered a salmon roll and tuna roll. Fish was good quality, ratio of fish to rice was good (I hate when there's too much rice and one tiny piece of fish)....
Oleg Burakov   May 6, 2020
Great Asian restaurant (I believe part of the "Karma" chain - one of them in Westford, MA), very good and quick service, very delicious food and friendly staff. Parking in the back - probably enough even for busy day (although I couldn't find any signs saying that parking is for Karma), but you also can park along the street on front of the restaurant. I would recommend it to try to anyone who is fan of Japanese food.
Jiayue Wang   November 25, 2019

Good fusion of Asian flavors. Even folks with Western palate would find something to like. Some dishes could be a miss. I liked the Japanese inspired interiors. Fast service and $$$ for sure.
