It may sound odd, but if you're looking for some fine Asian dining, head over to Beacon Hill. Somewhere between Cambridge Street staples Sausage Guy and the Hill Tavern, you will find something out of the ordinary, Ma Soba. The pan-Asian establishment, with its elegant decor and polite staff, offers diners a plethora of noodles and other Asian dishes, and the sushi is arguably some of the freshest and best in town. The green bean, orange and lychee salad is a hit, as well as the spicy Tsao General chicken. The sushi and sashimi keep bringing locals back; the sashimi comes in thick cuts and the maki rolls are fresh. The choices range from your average California roll to the bold "Disco Shrimp." All ranges of sushi enthusiast will find a favorite here. Locals and staff from neighboring Government Center know the lunch secret: Ma Soba offers bargain combo plates during the day. The large front windows slide open in warm weather and parking across the street is validated to a reasonable $5.
