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.

May H.

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.

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

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.

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

I was recommended this place by one of my friends, and I really loved it! Definitely appreciated…read morethe wide variety of the menu as well as the kindness of the staff, especially the hostess! I'm not sure how many there are, but she was Asian with long black hair. Unfortunately, I was having a pretty bad day before heading over, so my attitude was not what it should have been. To my surprise, the hostess didn't retaliate or display any bad attitude toward me, which in turn motivated me to be kinder :) It definitely costs nothing to be kind, and I was definitely grateful that she provided such impeccable service! Great casual spot; prices are fairly reasonable. I'd definitely recommend!

My friend and I ended up here spontaneously while we were both running errands on Newbury St. I was…read morein the mood for something Asian, we decided on sushi, and we vaguely remembered that one of our colleagues, who is from Japan, had said something about this place. That sealed the deal for Sakabayashi. I have to admit, though: we both got a little sticker shock when we opened the menu. The menu was extensive and everything sounded good, but it took us a while to figure out what we actually wanted to spend. At one point I told my friend, "If you want to leave, it's okay. I won't mind. We can just go." He said, "I'm fine if you're fine." I said, "I'm fine if you're fine." And then we basically just stared at each other and continued struggling with the menu. Eventually, we accepted that dinner was going to be more than $30 and shared the chicken karaage ($10), then each ordered the chef's pick nigiri ($30). The karaage was solid: crispy, yummy, nicely presented, and good with the mayo dipping sauce. But the nigiri made my eyes POP. MAN OH MAN was it FRESH. It was so good. That was basically all I could think about while eating it. I've eaten a lot of sushi in my life, although I still have the palate of a college student...and sometimes the wallet, too. I've definitely had sushi where I've thought, "This tastes like nothing," or "Why isn't the rice seasoned?" or, worse, "This doesn't taste right...I don't think this is very fresh." This was the opposite. The fish actually had flavor. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and the rice and fish worked together the way good nigiri should. I wish I had slowed down and appreciated each piece more instead of inhaling it. I will absolutely be coming back. Now I know where to go when I'm craving genuinely good-quality sushi and am willing to spend a little more for it. The restaurant itself is classy, bright, neat, and polished without feeling stuffy. It would be a great place to catch up with a friend or for a date night. Although for a date, maybe don't feel bad about splitting the bill. It's the modern era anyway.

I visited with a larger group on a busy Saturday, and everything just seemed unnecessarily slow and disorganized. Drinks took a while, dishes came out in no particular order, and I wasn't a fan of how our individually ordered meals were placed in the center of the table as though we were dining family-style. On the bright side, the black cod was delicious and easily one of the highlights of my meal! Unfortunately, the overall dining experience didn't quite match the expectations. I'd be open to returning, preferably with a smaller group.

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!

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.
