This review will be split into two parts: the first section is for general customers and second section for a specific group of customers.
----- Section 1 (quick review for general customers) -----
Food - Above average for quick-serve snacks/meals. The sushi rolls are great. They're better than most conveyor belt sushi restaurants or pre-made, grocery store sushi. I also tried a fruit-flavored slushy. It was good.
Ambiance - It's a very small corner store/snack shop. Clean and quaint. Patio seating available if the weather is nice.
Prices - Inexpensive. I suspect this place caters to the students that attend the school across the street. Prices likely need to accommodate a student's budget.
Service - Cordial, casual, and quick. Nice people behind the counter. There's also a self-serve ordering kiosk if you want to go full introvert. No fuss no muss.
-----Section 2 (for the nostalgia chasers) -----
If you attended school in an East Asian country as a youth - this shop is your childhood. It's a typical snack shop (小食店), the same as those often located near school yards across Asia. Tiny hole-in-the wall shops, run by a local family, offering goodies to kids at prices even 7-Eleven and fast food restaurants couldn't touch. Sugary drinks, sushi, fried chicken nuggets. And depending on which region you're from: curry fishballs, steamed buns, fried tofu, spicy noodles, etc.
I arrived at 756 Sushi just as the school across the street was being dismissed. The stream of students lining up at 756 brought back memories of watching students in Asia line up at the local 小食店 before heading home (or to evening study sessions). An unexpected and happy dose of nostalgia from a past life. This shop is a gift to the Beacon Hill community. read more
