Arguably the worst sushi we’ve tried in Boston. No idea why this place has such good reviews. The sushi we ordered was basically inedible and as sushi lovers and broke college students it hurt to have to throw away precious raw fish that we spent over $40 on! We ordered the salmon lover combo and the spicy tuna salad. The rice was undercooked and unseasoned. It was hard and tasteless (usually the rice is dressed with vinegar). We decided to dig all the fish out from the rolls and leave the rice from the nigiri because it was so awful. The fish was extremely chewy—the tuna being a lot worse than the salmon. We ended up throwing out half the tuna because we couldn’t bring ourselves to keep eating it. You know it’s bad when the only good ingredient was the avocado. A very disappointing experience…
Carry out only so order ahead or plan on hanging out on the sidewalk - there is not an indoor part of the restaurant. It's busy, which is exactly what you want a takeout sushi place to be. That means they go through fish in a hurry so it's not sitting around very long. Good prices and well made maki and sashimi.
Wow excellent sushi and atmosphere! The blonde man who took care of me at the register was so helpful and kind. He was able to recommend me some sushi items from the menu. He was so kind and eager to help me. I recommend all of Boston try North End Fish and Sushi! 5/5 Stars!
Good Sushi, the only caveat is that it’s pricy considering that it’s a seafood market and they don’t have to ship inventory as much like other sushi places do. Rolls were solid, but tasted a bit fishy no pun intended. Maybe I didn’t get as good of a batch.
Incredible sushi in under stated atmosphere.
Tried their lobster roll and it was ok. The claim chowder was watery and had no taste at all. Wonton crab was pretty good. Not sure about their sushi as I did not order any.
Please don't disappoint yourself by eating here. I got a delivery order that was inedible. Even something as simple as avocado sushi where there's no room for mistakes with spoiled fish, it was awful. The rice had a very mushy texture and smelled old. The avocados weren't ripe. I also tried two of their maki rolls: spicy tuna and spicy salmon. Both were really really bad. Such a disappointing experience... save your money and your appetite. Don't order from here.
Lobster roll contains celery. Which balanced the oiliness of mayo. But the size of roll will be smaller than what you'd expect.
Our tour guide recommended it and it did not disappoint. Chowder was great on a cold day and the lobster rolls were good. Service was fast. No one else was in line so we felt like we had found a secret gem!
Best quality/cost ratio for a lobster roll downtown
