I came here with my friends last night. We had a reservation for 6:30pm, but we arrived around 6:10pm and they were able to seat us quickly, which was a great start to the evening.
The first thing that impressed me was the decor and overall atmosphere. The central floral arrangement is especially stands out in the space. The interior design feels like a modern luxury Asian-inspired style with strong Art Deco influences, which creates a very elegant and unique environment.
We were seated near the sushi bar area and ordered a variety of sushi dishes. Honestly, there wasn’t a single dish that I disliked. The restaurant servers both Japanese and Chinese cuisine, but I could also sense some French-inspired elements in the presentation and flavor combinations.
Among all the dishes we tried, my top three favorites were the Kumamoto Oysters, Otoro with Truffle & 24K Gold Leaf, and the Uni & Caviar Toast. Each one had a very rich and memorable flavor.
The service was also amazing. Staff members in different roles (I assume) were very attentive and quickly remove our empty plates throughout the meal, which made the experience feel smooth and well-organized.
Overall, this is definitely a high-end Asian fusion restaurant. As a customer, I could clearly feel the sense of luxury through the food, the services, and the interior design. It was a wonderful dining experience. I will definitely come back.

The decor here is incredible and completely over the top. Very vibey atmosphere with full bar and plenty of colorful cocktails. This place was packed late afternoon on a Saturday so definitely come with a reservation of be prepared to sit at the bar or sushi bar. The service and food were both good, somewhat expensive, but I’d come here again.

The wait for Karma to open was definitely worth it. The decor and architecture are so impressive and beyond what you normally see in Boston, much less the burbs. You feel such a vibe as soon as you arrive at the grand door and then see the large recessed round lit ceiling.
Reservations are very hard to get last minute so plan ahead or else go as a party of two and do a walk in for the sushi counter.
I have been twice now, and the second time was at the sushi counter which was a terrific experience! It’s fun to watch the chefs make the food and hand it right to us, and they gave us a surprise lobster tempura roll with caviar! Wow. So unexpected and so very delicious!!
My son had the tuna tataki salad which ended up being a very large tasty dish, so most of his other two orders of rolls came home with us.
Not to be missed is the Salmon on Fire. I have had a version of this at Oishii, but this one is so tasty with all the herbs encrusted on the sides.
The pad thai and baby bok choy are also well executed and scrumptious!
I am so happy Karma opened in Wellesley. It’s definitely more elevated than the Karma I went to in Concord and is a home run!

Date night time with atmosphere, Karma in Wellesley delivers Asian Fusion.
The vibes enhance the menu, with open kitchen seating as well.
There are showstoppers like Salmon on Fire and the Pineapple Fried Rice. and Yellowtail Thai Basil in The Spoon had balanced flavors of hot salty sweet and spicy
Their Kobe Roll was THE best, of the flavors really popped in the quality of the beef shined through, and the Coffee Braised Short Ribs impressed with cheap flavors and the beef was super tender.
The Matcha Cake dessert was impossibly light, the matcha flavor shine through without being covered by too much sugar sweet. and the Strawberry Ice Cream Saki Affagado was enjoyed separately. definitely an interesting take, and the freeze-dried strawberries gave it a great pop, but sipping on the sake separately was the right move
Dishes:
Salmon On Fire Coffee Bean Smoked Salmon w. a Hint of Citrus, Truffle, Raspberry Dressing
Yellowtail Thai Basil in The Spoon
Pineapple Fried Rice Fresh Pineapple, Chicken, Shrimp, Thai Chili, Onion, Vegetable, Egg, Served in a Carved Out Pineapple
Kobe Roll – Shrimp Tempura, Avocado, Crispy Onion Topped w/Wagyu Beef, Truffle Aioli, Soy Sauce
Coffee Braised Short Ribs

Frankly had higher expectations after all the hype and 5star ratings. Went on a Sunday evening; restaurant was packed and unfortunately way too loud to have a conversation. We had:
* Duck Bao: 2/5 stars: the bun was nicely steamed and the first bite of duck was good but the rest of the bun and filling was *soaked* in hoisin source – literally a pool of sauce on my plate. Not cool.
* Xiao Long Bao: 3/5 stars. Disclaimer:I’ve had XiaoLong Bao many times at Din Tai Fung which is a high bar. Karma’s version was ok but I was not wow’ed.
* Cantonese Chow-Fun: 4/5 stars – highlight of the evening. the dish was overall authentic and tasted good; I’d order it again!
* Flower Salmon sushi: 3.5/5. It was ok but too much going on: too many flavors and thick layers of sauces overpowering the salmon. The jalapeño is a nice touch though.

To top it off I ordered a coffee to go with my dessert but the coffee machine apparently broke down…. Ending on a more positive note: our waiter was friendly and courteous and the atmosphere was nice (minus the noise level)

Might give Karma another try sometime in the future and will remember to request “light on hoisin sauce”

Karma at Wellesley offers really amazing food. The recommended cocktails are also fantastic and contribute to the very eclectic and cool vibe of the place. Just a heads-up: definitely book your table as soon as you can! They fill up incredibly fast during the day; even seeing availability a couple of hours out might not guarantee a table if you walk in without a booking. But trust me, it’s worth the effort for the incredible food!

Karma Wellesley was exceptional! It’s a great addition to the metrowest area and something you only experience in the city. The food was incredible. We had a variety of hot and cold apps including the duck pie tee, salmon on fire. We also tried some sushi which I can’t remember because it was all too good! Then (not pictured) was the Mongolian beef and chow foon. To end things, our server brought a complimentary dessert for a birthday celebration. Overall, such a great night. It was packed for a Tuesday, drinks were tasty and everything was divine.

Always such a pleasure dining at Karma Wellesley! The restaurant is beautifully designed with an elegant and welcoming atmosphere. The sushi is incredibly fresh and melts in your mouth every time, just as amazing as I’ve come to expect from Karma. The cocktails are great too and complement the meal perfectly. Highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys high-quality sushi and a lovely dining experience.

My birthday dinner here was absolutely fantastic, thanks in large part to Joseph F.! He was such a wonderful server and really made the whole evening special. Everything was perfect and Joe truly made it the best birthday dinner I could have asked for. He’s amazing! I even got a card signed from the whole team!! I loved it!
