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.

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

Haven't been here in a while but it's still the best hot lobster roll in town!…read more Get there early to get seated first round. They cram you in like sardines so try to get a good spot! You're most likely be sharing a table with other diners. The mussels in a spicy flavorful red sauce were cooked perfectly. They only came with 2 small pieces of grilled bread. If you like to dunk your bread and soak up all the yummy broth, ask for more bread when you order. The fries dipped in there are also really good! Lobster roll was delicious and juicy on a buttery brioche bun. So much lobster! And the fries are so crispy and salty! My friend ordered the North End Cioppino that comes in a rice spicy brodo with clams, mussels, shrimp, and 2 types of fish (I forget what they were). The broth was ok and the whole shrimp was a chore to eat. The mussel sauce would've been better. Note: one small dark bathroom at end of bar Parking is very hard to find as most are resident. Try side roads or Cross street for some meters if you're lucky.

We were visiting for the weekend and wanted to check out all the popular food places, of which…read moreNeptune Oyster is one. We walked by Neptune a few times and the line was long. It was Friday afternoon into evening so makes sense. We came back late night around 9:30pm and waited for like 5 minutes before being seated. The place is small. You're basically sharing dinner with the stranger next to you with how close you're sitting. Thankfully our strangers were cool lol. We tried a variety of oysters, cocktail shrimp, and the razor clams which we heard were amazing. All I'm gonna say is, I would have been annoyed if I waited in line for hours for the items we got. The cocktail shrimp was decent - it was a good size, juicy, and delicious. The razor clams were a miss. Rubbery and too many other things in the dish overshadowing the clams. We got two different kinds of fresh clams which my husband said were okay. I'm not a fan of fresh clams. The oysters were good, but after having been to Row 34, I can't justify standing in line for oysters in a place that doesn't have much else worth trying.

You might accidentally walk past this cute Italian ristorante...and you would regret it. I walked…read morearound the area for a while before settling at a table by the window in Giacomo's. I was quickly greeted and informed that they were cash-only dining. But fret not, for just inside the doorway is a perfectly placed ATM. It took only a few seconds for me to pinpoint the exact item on the menu that my stomach was craving and my eyes fixed upon...Antipasto for an appetiser and chicken Marsala for the entree. The antipasto dish arrived very quickly and was a beautiful layout. Of course I desired to save some room for the entree but ended up eating about 3/4 of the appetiser before it arrived. The chicken marsala was absolutely perfect, still steaming on the plate as she placed it before me. I told myself I would only eat half the dish and take the rest back to my hotel for snacking later. However, my taste buds are not allow me to stop feasting on this Italian delicacy. If you're ever in the area, don't worry about the other Italian restaurants in the downtown, although I am sure that they are well and good, but Giacomo's is well worth your consideration. My only regret is that I only have one more night here to try another one of their delectable dishes.

Wait wasn't too long on a Friday night…read more I enjoyed the texture of the fusilli and it certainly was a hearty bowl of pasta. Beyond that though, nothing remarkable. Portion size was decent although prices are not cheap (just entree alone will be minimum $30). They specialize in seafood so the only protein options that weren't seafood were chicken or veal. There weren't too many apps that caught my eye, particularly lacking veggies. Service is on the ruder side. They automatically add 20% tip to your bill.
