1 Seaweed Salad Shrimp Tempura 26 Maki Platter 4 Spicy Crab Salad
Adina S.

The sushi from this place is top notch! My friends and I have ordered from here a few times, but I've never actually gone in person, so I can't comment on the service or ambiance. If you're going to order for a group, definitely go with one of the platters, which always seems to end up being a better deal. I've always been happy with the quality and freshness of the fish. Would happily recommend!

Salmon Lover
Angel P.

A small takeout sushi place right in the North End. The quality is great, and surprisingly the price is also great, despite being in the city. They also don't pack the sushi with rice. I ordered salmon lover and spicy girl roll: both dishes being fantastic, especially the spicy girl roll. I ordered in person and they finished my order within 5-10 minutes, even with an order ahead of mine. Service was fast and efficient. There are a few steps getting down to the place. They also serve a lobster roll (and I've heard good things about it) that I will have to try next time.

Came here for a lobster roll under $20 and got one with chowder as part of a special! I can see why it was so inexpensive since it's really tiny, but it was a good size for me especially because I got an eel avocado roll as well. Everything was good and the lobster roll was served cold. This is a hole in the wall type of place so don't expect to dine in you're gonna grab and go with some decently quick service! This place gets the job done, no frills, though the sushi is also pretty small.

Lunch Special - 2 simple rolls and 2 sides for $17!
Rachel K.

Very fresh and great prices! Their lunch special Monday-Friday (open-3pm I believe) was incredible - 2 Simple Rolls and 2 sides for $17, + $3 to add Miso Soup. Can't beat it! the ambience itself isn't much, but no complaints with our food! Some of the best miso soup I've had. Lovedddd the Seaweed Salad. Take out only - we enjoyed our lunch in Cherry Park a few blocks down.

Quaint and charming little sushi spot that offers only takeout sushi. With the sushi being so fresh and top grade, I'm surprised at how cheap it is! There are some great and cheap sushi combos, the Maki Trio being one of them. Most places pack sushi rolls with a lot of rice but this isn't the case with North End Fish Market. While the rolls itself are a little smaller than what I'm used it, it's still a great bang for your buck. I also ordered a Spicy Salmon roll but instead got a Salmon and Avocado wrong. Small mistake there but still very delicious. The handroll was stuffed and I got a lot of fish for just one handroll. Will definitely be ordering again in the near future!

Lobster Roll Clam Chowder Combo
Kayla B.

Talk about hidden gem for a lobster roll and some clam chowder. First, if you're over 5'5 you might just miss the door all together, second, they serve sushi mainly and the lobster roll is minimally advertised. Well for $27 you get a cold lobster roll and clam chowder and let me tell you, both were PHENOMENAL. Super tender lobster (though the roll is small so be prepared), perfect toast on the bun and a subtle light mayo coating. Top that all up with some solid clam chowder and it's a perfect lunch. Service took about 10 minutes and there is nowhere to wait inside so you have to stroll around which just is never an issue in north end. For the value and the taste I really don't think you can get a better every day roll without going bankrupt. Will absolutely come agaib

Lobster Roll Sandwich - really good. Cold lobster on a buttery, toasted roll
Marcus L.

North End is a really small shop that doesn't stand out much in appearance but really delivers in food quality and service. LOBSTER ROLL I tried 3 of Boston's top ranked lobster rolls and North End's ended up being my favorite. I was a bit surprised that this was my favorite since I favor hot lobster. The interesting thing was that the 3 rolls I tried varied in both size and price quite drastically. I'd describe North End's lobster roll as medium sized. At $18, North End's lobster roll was easily the best value of the lobster rolls I saw in town. The lobster roll here has great balance. The cold lobster tastes great and the toasted bread works perfectly together. I loved the structure of the roll. It all held together till my last bite. Visually, it wasn't the greatest. Since all food is take out here, the rolls are just wrapped up and handed to you in a bag. SERVICE Friendly, welcoming people.

Takeout only, no dine in
Makani S.

I don't know if I was just unlucky today but I got food poisoning after eating the Mt. Fuji roll and one of the specials. :( there are a lot of good reviews so I'm hoping that it was just a rare experience. They were nice behind the counter, accept credit card and it's takeout only.

Sashimi deluxe
Ali S.

Very fresh and good quality and quantity. Very friendly, highly recommend . I'm a very picky fish eater, I abandoned my next door tori sushi for north end fish and sushi, it definitely worth the trip.

I already took a few bites.

I've been coming to this sushi spot for over five years, and it never disappoints. The quality is consistently excellent--fresh fish, beautifully prepared rolls, and flavors that keep me coming back every time. The staff is always welcoming and attentive, making you feel like a valued regular, not just another customer. Only for ordering takeout. This place has truly become my go-to sushi spot, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great sushi and reliable service.

Dillon G.

The best and most humble sushi spot in all of Boston! Tucked away in the heart of the North End is this delicious underground sushi basement! The prices are so reasonable and the quality is fantastic. It is only takeout, so my girlfriend and I took it back to hers. Can't wait for my next visit to Boston, this spot was incredible

Megan B.

FOOD: I got the Lady In Red and the Spicy Tuna roll for delivery. Both were great quality, taste, and price! I can't comment on the service or ambiance since this was a delivery order, but I can't wait to go back and try out more of their menu.

2 roll lunch special
Gloria M.

A hole in the wall spot in the North End. The staff didn't really speak to me but it's fine, I was just there for takeout. The fish was super fresh tasting. I got the salmon lover and it was great, standard, and pretty fairly priced at like $15. I did get 2 extra pc of salmon sushi. The 2 roll lunch special was a super great deal also at only $14

Reviews are largely positive. People consistently praise the fresh sushi and seafood, good value pricing, and friendly and efficient service. The quick takeout experience is also appreciated.

Casual, popular, and bustling Japanese spot in Chinatown. Very tight for space and limited seating…read moregiven it is a basement spot in one of the Chinatown complexes! And it is popular for a good reason. Service is quick, I'm sure they are trying to get people in and out. Very fresh kaisendon (fish bowls) with delicately cut, plump fish. A friend and I got the salmon and tuna don, which were appropriately priced under $20 if I remember correctly. Lots of different cuts of salmon and tuna, which were all covering fluffy white rice, and served with a side of miso soup and Japanese radish/pickled vegetable. If you were to compare this place with other casual Japanese spots serving sushi or sashimi, there is an easily discernable difference in quality. You can tell by the texture and appearance of the fish in your bowl! This is a classic in Chinatown for a reason, and I will never say no to a kaisendon from Tora.

I came here on my last trip to Boston and liked it so much that I knew I had to come back again!…read more Tora Japanese is located in Chinatown--in the basement area of one of the buildings, so seating is pretty limited. I came for lunch with two friends, and they didn't have a table for three, but the hostess was able to quickly accommodate us by rearranging another party that just sat down, and we were able to get some seats at the bar. Service was really fast and friendly throughout our dining experience. I ordered the sake don from the lunch menu, which came with a good-sized portion of rice topped with salmon sashimi and a side of miso soup. Definitely a great spot for a quick and affordable lunch in Chinatown!

Had the pleasure of…read moredining here with a friend today & enjoyed the basic set, which contained meat that tasted better than some premium cuts at other AYCE restaurants. Milk tea on tap, sauce bar with raw pasteurized egg. Salmon and mackerel also included in the unlimited apps menu now, too. Location is compact given it's in Boston Chinatown, but it has what you need! Restrooms have mouth wash and floss tips, which is great post meal. Been to Mikiya in CA, which has a bit more elevated ambiance & feel but the food and quality is the same. Service was phenomenally efficient, respectful, and great! Come hungry, leave happy :)

It was my first time returning to Mikiya since going for their grand opening about a year or two…read moreago. This time I decided to go for late lunch & experienced no wait time. We got the silver set, which comes with American and Australian wagyu meat options. We opted for this one because it includes the seafood platter, vegetable platter, and choice of one of the following specialty dishes: wagyu tartare with chips, sweet shrimp sashimi, bone marrow, & wagyu nigiri. We decided to each get the wagyu tartare. For broths, we did half sukiyaki and half spicy miso. I think next time I will just get only sukiyaki though because it is so good! We ended up just cooking everything in the sukiyaki broth. The pasteurized eggs are amazing in this broth btw! For all of the AYCE options, you get unlimited drinks + tea, seasonal fruit, ice cream, sauce bar, pasteurized eggs, ground wagyu, wagyu curry, and can order appetizers off their appetizer menu. For appetizers, we ordered seaweed salad, eel nigiri, chicken karaage, & fried shumai. They all tasted as expected, so we were happy about that. I enjoyed the ground wagyu! It was tasty and even tastier after adding in some garlic & chili peppers. Wagyu tartare looked and tasted very fresh. I think if it had some more citrus, it would've been even better. Because raw beef doesn't really have that much of a taste and I think some more lime would complement this well! The seafood platter was awesome. My favorites were the lobster tail, fresh abalone, scallops, and oysters. Amazing! I would say the only thing that I didn't like from my recent visit was the vegetable platter. It had great variety BUT I wasn't have that some of the veggies they gave us were not properly cleaned. Make sure to inspect the vegetables!! The watercress and bok choy still had some dirt on them. But everything else was fine. I always inspect everything before eating (anywhere) but I especially make sure to inspect watercress because it's known to be pretty dirty. For meats, we mainly stuck with the Australian wagyu chuck ribeye! It is my favorite cut from this set. Overall, I'd come back again! I think it's a great place to go for hotpot & is different from your typical Chinese hotpot experience. The silver set is the best to get in my opinion because you get a little bit of everything & to be honest, I don't think you can really taste the difference of the different wagyus (American vs Australian vs Japanese) unless it's being grilled.

There are meals you remember because they taste good, and then there are experiences that change…read morethe way you think about food. Three 1 One Omakase was one of those experiences. It introduced me to new textures, flavors, aromas, and, most importantly, a deeper appreciation for the culture behind the food. From the moment we arrived, Chef Wei, his wife Carrie, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere felt intimate, as though we had been invited into someone's home rather than a restaurant. Every detail felt intentional, from the minimalist design and calming ambiance to the subtle aromas throughout the space. Learning that Three 1 One was originally a one-bedroom apartment made the experience even more meaningful. The evening reminded me of a trip to Phu Quoc, Vietnam, where local islanders welcomed my fiancé and eight friends into their home to share a meal prepared from that day's catch. Coincidentally, there were ten guests gathered around the counter at Three 1 One, just as there had been ten of us in Vietnam. In both places, strangers came together over exceptional food and genuine hospitality. That feeling stayed with me throughout the evening. My fiancé and I celebrated our 11th anniversary here as we began exploring Michelin-starred restaurants together. After traveling throughout North and South Vietnam, where his family is from, we returned with a renewed appreciation for food and the stories it tells. We were excited to discover such a thoughtful Michelin-starred restaurant so close to home. The 19-course omakase felt like a journey. The opening truffle sea bream with mizuna and sudachi sauce awakened the palate with bright citrus and earthy richness. The Kegani Hokkaido hairy crab with dashi jelly and tomato dashi mousse became my fiancé's favorite. Once mixed together, it was creamy, savory, delicate, and refreshing. His reaction said it all: "Wow." The tako (octopus) with house-made sweet soy sauce highlighted the natural flavor of the seafood beautifully, while the Tokobushi somen with abalone, wheat noodles, yam, okra, and cold dashi became one of my favorite courses. It was refined yet bold, layered with umami, and unexpectedly reminded me of the haenyeo women of Jeju Island, whose tradition of free-diving for seafood gave me an even greater appreciation for the ingredients. Another standout was the Amadai Uroko Yaki (crispy-scale tilefish). The contrast between the crisp scales and tender fish created a texture I'd never experienced before. Along with the abalone course, it was one of the highlights of the evening. The Aji horse mackerel with ginger, chives, sesame, and nori provided a refreshing transition before the sushi. The sushi alone deserves its own review. Every piece reflected remarkable craftsmanship and precision. Watching Chef Wei prepare each bite was part of the experience itself. The rice was beautifully seasoned, and every ingredient felt balanced. My favorite piece was the uni (sea urchin). It was incredibly smooth, rich, and almost buttery. My second favorite was the Hokkaido hotate (scallop), with its delicate smokiness, sweetness, and juicy texture that left me wanting another bite immediately. We also tried selections from the additional menu, along with a pear-toned sake that paired beautifully with the meal. More than anything, what stayed with me wasn't just the food, but the feeling of the evening. It was an experience built around craftsmanship, hospitality, culture, and sharing a meal with others. Thank you to Chef Wei, Carrie, and the entire team for making our 11th anniversary unforgettable and for giving us such a memorable first Michelin-star dining experience. We look forward to returning.

This was my first Omakase experience, and I honestly don't know how anything will ever top it! From…read morethe moment you walk in, the atmosphere is personalized and incredibly welcoming. We went through 18 courses of the freshest, highest-quality fish. Chef Wei's precision is amazing to watch, and the progression of the meal was perfectly paced. He is truly an artist! If you have allergies, they are exceptionally accommodating. I have a crab allergy, and they didn't just skip the course, instead they prepared a thoughtful, high-end substitution so I never felt like I was missing out on the full experience. While it is a splurge, Chef Wei ensures you get your money's worth through the quality of the ingredients and the flawless service. An absolute 10/10 for a special occasion!

Labubu dolls overhead. Why? I'm not sure. But it adds character…read more Food: We worked our way through an embarrassment of handrolls--duck foie gras, A5 Miyazaki wagyu tenderloin, miso butter cod, spicy scallops--each one a small, precise argument for why these two culinary traditions (Japanese-French) belong together. The toro and foie gras was exactly what they should be: quietly devastating. But surprisingly the dish that stopped the world for me was the duck risotto. Rich, deeply savory, the kind of thing that makes you go quiet mid-bite. I will be back for it. Probably soon. I'm mentally drooling already just thinking about it. Drinks: The wintermelon milk punch clarified cocktail is worth ordering on concept alone and then delivers on execution too. A Sancerre alongside the handrolls? Correct decision, no notes. Service was warm and attentive without hovering. The atmosphere is genuinely inviting. And then there are the Labubu dolls. Rows of them. Overhead. Staring. I have no idea what they're doing there and I respect that no one felt the need to explain it. It works, somehow, in the way that only truly confident restaurants can get away with inexplicable décor choices. One soft critique: the dessert menu felt sparse with a single macaron service. For a kitchen operating at this level, that feels like an unfinished sentence. A meal this considered deserves a proper ending. But make no mistake: Mai is exceptional. The Labubu dolls are watching, and they agree.

Came here because I was going to Seaport anyway and also wanted to complete their August passport…read morechallenge. It was very empty at 1:30pm, only a table of 2. I don't particularly like the army of Labubus placed around the store, especially the ones on the ceiling beams. Slightly creepy imo. We didn't realize the lunch menu didn't have appetizers, but at least there were combo sets to save a few dollars. It doesn't have as much variety as Matsunori either. We ordered the best seller set (miso cod, toro, spicy scallop), apple salmon, snow crab, and spicy tuna Overall I was surprised by how large the portions were. I mean they're a dollar or two more expensive than Matsunori but I still found the amount of fish to be more than expected. Toro was clearly less fishy and more tender than the tuna used in the spicy tuna. However, I didn't like how there's caviar added to the toro. I think it overpowers the flavor and I don't want to be paying more for the sake of the caviar. Apple salmon was actually my favorite. I like the gentle sweetness from the apples which were slightly softened. Salmon was also smooth in my mouth, more so than the cheaper tuna. Miso cod wasn't as juicy and umami forward as I'd like. In fact it felt a bit heavy to me which was disappointing because I was excited to have a hot juicy roll.
