I struggled with the lady on the phone to order spicy tuna and California rolls for my wife and I. The avocado was in liquid form and ruined the whole meal. I called back and got nowhere with the manager. I asked him to replace the meal. He said, " nothing is free" and " I don't care". I decided to try U Me in Stoneham. They have better prices and service, unlike Sushi Corner. Their prices are too high for the quality and service they provide. read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem! Did not expect too much from a little sushi restaurant next to a Shaw's but I was surprise the sushi is so fresh, the burritos and poke bowls so yummy. We have been going back to try out more stuff on the menu and ordering their sushi platter for parties. Great sushi at a great price! Highly recommended! read more

I have been here three times now and I love it! The sushi here is cheap and excellent. I recommend getting the sushi corner roll or the spicy salmon tempura roll. I also tired the vegetable tempura and thought it was very tasty. I thought everything I had tasted was very fresh and superb quality. Definitely check this place out! read more

If you're in the Melrose area and you're looking for decent sushi, this is a great spot! Unlike precious reviews I ordered take-out on a Friday night and my order was ready in 15 minutes as promised when I called. The spicy tuna roll was very flavorful. I will definitely be coming back here the next time I need a sushi fix! read more

My bf won't stop bugging me to go back to Sushi Corner! The seafood miso soup is the best around! For its price, everything is well worth it! I typically get a lot of sashimi along with a few rolls. It's a little place tucked in a parking lot, but it's definitely a hole in the wall! The chef/owner is very friendly. They work very fast and get your food out fast. read more

Although small inside, this sushi joint gets big thumbs up. It's my number one pick when it comes to going out for sushi. Everything is always fresh and fast to be served. The tea is delicious, along with the miso soup and udon noodles. Highly recommended. read more

I moved away from eastern ma to the Midwest about a year ago, and this is one of the few places I really miss. The food is always phenomenal and fresh, and I've never had bad service. I generally opt for take out, but dining in nice since the space is so cozy and relaxed. If you plan on drinking they don't serve alcohol but instead let you byob, which comes in handy both for personal taste and not hitting your wallet too hard. The miso soup is delicious, as well as the edamame. I always get tuna and the eel, but you really can't go wrong with any of their sushi combo platters. The fish is always full of flavor and served at the perfect temperature. The only negative thing I have to say about this place is, if you dine in during the winter, it gets quite chilly (even with their space heaters set up!), but that's not enough to knock this place a star. It really is that good! read more

This is a review for delivery - Tasty, and timely. but I hate paying 40 bucks and getting handed a tiny bag of food! I know its SUSHI, but something about that just seems wrong. read more

Teeny tiny little place but the best sushi I've had in a long while! The seaweed salad is amazing. It's a bit hard to find. It's in the shaws parking lot read more

Sushi Corner is one of our favorite resturants. This tiny, hole-in-a-wall sushi joint has some of the freshest sushi/maki around. The chef is always right behind the counter ready to greet you as you arrive and he always remembers his regulars. Try some of their delicious green tea followed by a bowl of great miso soup. Some favorites include: idaho maki, Sky maki, Futo maki and a slippery good Vegetable Udon! YUM YUM! read more

flawless. fabulous. and walking distance from my apartment, which also makes it dangerously awesome. sushi was an acquired taste for me, but one day i found myself craving it and, after reading the rave reviews of this place/passing it in the parking lot every time i went shopping at shaw's, i decided to give it a whirl. honestly the best and freshest sushi you'll ever eat. just a hunch. i've had the spicy scallop roll, the spicy tuna roll, and of course the california roll, all of which are fantastic. i've called several times now right before i do a quick CVS or shaw's run, and my takeout is always ready within about 15 minutes, which is also great. i'd be hesitant to try any other local sushi place now that i've found this gem! read more

I am always talking about how Melrose has 8 million pizza places and how ridiculous it is, so I can't believe I have yet to review Sushi Corner. I love having a take out sushi place pretty close by. Dine in is good too, service is always fast and everything is neat and clean. But it's more of a grab a quick bite there or take out kind of place. I have started veering from my standard Idaho, Salmon and Spicy Tuna maki a bit, and while these are always good, some of their specialty rolls are great. Tried the Melrose maki and a mango/avocado roll that was so refreshing. It was like dessert sushi. Miso soup is also always very good and steaming hot. Prices are fairly reasonable for sushi. I get nervous when a sushi place is super cheap, it seems like you are just asking for bad fish or something. Maybe that's just me. Anyway, a recent visit reminded me how much I like Sushi Corner. Now if only they would actually deliver so I wouldn't have to get off my lazy butt and out of my PJs, I would be in heaven. Gluttonous, sushi-overeating heaven. read more

I was introduced to sushi corner by my sister who raved about the place. I've been a few times and in total, I like it. The sushi always comes out pretty quick and the quality of the fish is great. We got the Philadelphia roll, celtics maki, california rolls, shrimp tempura and red sox maki. All were great, but the shrimp tempura was my favorite. The inside is really small with a total of 4 tables and a small bar area. Our waitress was nice and attentive but the only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because we had a small issue with the bill at the end. We had one of those prepaid visa gift cards. She tried to use it and it wouldn't go. She tried a few times and finally got it to work. She told us that 20 dollars was on it, but we could have sworn that it had 25. We left our tip and went home. When we got home, we checked the visa gift card balance online and she had used the whole 25 dollars on the card! Not sure if it was her fault or the credit card company's but it still happened. If you're in the area and wanting an intimate sushi experience, I'd say check this place out. But, keep an eye out on the bill and bring cash if you can. Credit cards seem to throw them off a bit. read more

although this place is small and hard to find, but the sushi and sashimi are the freshest! I love all the food there. it was made perfectly. try the giant scallop and salmon handroll... never had food that good! great for takeout or dine-in later at night, try to go there after dinner rush. Anyways, I had a fantastic time there and I was very satisfied.. Another good thing is you can byob, which means bring whatever liquor you want. I recommend sake! read more

Enjoyed some great sashimi. Hamachi and sake. And the spicy tuna roll. Very nice sushi.

I've dined-in at this tiny hidden spot once, was a good meal and I watched the game on tv. Pretty sure it's BYOB, liquor store around the corner on Main St is clutch. I've ordered delivery via foodler a ton of times, quality is always on point. Rolls are delicious, good size and fresh. They do standard menu options with a couple surprises. Sashimi is fresh and delicious, soups and rices are solid options. Everything arrives packed well. Due to the click-click-eat ease of foodler I've had very little interaction with staff, but delivery people are nice enough. In no less than 25 deliveries, we had just one that took over an hour to arrive, and they were very cool about it when we called to see what's up; otherwise they're speedy enough that the aberration that night didn't turn us off. There are other sushi places in the area, but their consistency and quality have made them my default. read more

So much love for this tiny little place. I find the interior (with its black ceiling) quite charming. Service is helpful and unobtrusive. The food is really top-notch. I love their various creative maki rolls. The rice is always tender and seasoned just-so. Nice thick slices of fish. Delivery is great. Been going here and ordering here for years. Love it. read more

It's a take out restaurant with a few small tables. Located in the parking lot near Shaws and Melrose animal clinic. The food is good with reasonable price. The staff is friendly. Plenty of parking. Open 4 pm read more

Tried the sushi rolls. Very good sushi with generous portion size. Friendly staff. Small yet cozy. Good price.

Certainly not the best I've been to.... but not bad. I enjoyed the Miso soup about 90% of the time I've gone there. California rolls, excellent. Salad, was ok.....I tried the beef teriyaki & another time tried the chicken, I wasn't blown away, but it was edible. Biggest complaint about this place would be, I've showed up when they open, & the only person there, doesn't speak English....that's happened about 4 times to me. If you want awesome, drive 10 minutes to Route 1 & hit Sake Japanese Restaurant. read more

I come here about once a month and have enjoyed it. Its a quiet hole in the wall restaurant (I don't think they even have a bathroom...unless its back in the kitchen somewhere). The service is ok, definitely not the best but the food comes out quickly and I am never disaappointed. The melrose roll is amazing and I always get a bowl of the simple udon soup made spicy. I always seem to leave full and completely relaxed. Yum. read more

I ordered sushi here for delivery last night and it was pretty good. Even though I only live about 5 minutes away it still took a good 40 minutes, but it was worth the wait. My boyfriend and I split an order of: avocado roll, salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, and california roll. Everything was very good and fresh. I usually am not a fan of spicy tuna rolls (just too much spicy mayo), but I loved this one. Not too much mayo and some avocado in there as well. I didn't order any specialty rolls, but I think if those are delicious it would take the rating up to 5 stars. The total bill was about $21, which I think is totally reasonable. Will definitely be ordering from here again, I also love that they deliver. I haven't visited the actual location. read more

Ordered again tonight, and remembered that I haven't written a review! We have been order no from Sushi Corner for a few years now, and they have never let us down. Very fresh fish, and such creative maki combos - we just love what they do. Yes, they can take a little time, especially on busy nights, but it's worth the wait. In the past two weeks, I've had sushi at two other places, but tonight's order confirmed that Sushi Corner is my fav. read more

This place is my all time favorite!! You must try it~ they got the best sushi in Boston!! I might not recommand if you going for regular rice /noodle dishes.. but for SUSHI you have to eat in here!! read more

Amazing sushi for the greatest price. I think I am here once a month at least. Too bad its so far away from my house! Its not the best looking place in the world.....but its so cute and quaint who cares about the atmosphere. Byob if you want some. There is a wine shop around the corner. And the best thing: there is always parking!!! read more

We love this place since it reopened. We eat poke poke pokeeee fa days. Crushin scallion Ps and edamame peas getting real bad. My guy is always happy love that guy forever and ever more read more

Good sushi every time. Always get their special rolls via carry-out and have not been disappointed. Not the fastest service, but friendly and good food. I would recommend. read more

Good sushi in my hood! Most of my meals are ready in less than 20 mins. Not one bad sushi experience here in the past 6 years....hard to find this little corner spot if you don't know Melrose read more

Only a few tables for dine-in service. The place is clean and quiet. Seems to be family owned and ran. Excellent quality sushi and a good amount of appetizers and other entrees to choose from. The miso soup was fresh and delicious. Sushi was delicious and they did not skimp at all on the fish! Prices are very reasonable and they also have real green tea (brewed fresh from actual leaves) read more

I had been wanting to try this place since I discovered it - and when I say "discover" I really mean it was not obvious to find. Got my chance a couple of Fridays nights ago when we had impromptu company. I ordered about $70 worth of sushi, fried rice, Teriyaki, and tempura. The prices were really reasonable and the sushi was great. The rest of the food was just okay - but this didn't come as a surprise since the place is called "The Sushi Corner". It is nice that they offer non-sushi items because two of our five guests didn't like sushi. Worked out perfectly. I saw three guys making sushi when I picked up our order which was impressive. Will be back next time we need a sushi pickup! read more

My go-to place. The patriot roll and sushi corner roll are my favorites. Prices are suuuper reasonable and food is tasty. If you order a lot to go, I suggest you give them some time to prepare the food as its a pretty small place and stays busy. read more

It's ok, I've had a few weird experiences for ex. no matter how busy or how slow they always say 20 minutes. I've now realized when they say 20 minutes I always ask "are you sure" because I've gone down before and waited another 30 minutes before. There Sushi is probably the best in Melrose for takeout, but better options for sitting in at places. read more

I only eat cooked maki, so I will speak only on that as I've never ordered sushi or sashimi from this place. I dine-in once with a friend...ordered the party boat. It is beautiful and plenty for just the two of us. My husband and I ordered take-out from them occasionally. Delivery fee is about $3+tips. We love the cooked maki, our favorite was their Sushi Corner roll, with shrimp wrapped into the maki and avocado and eel on the outside. The last three times we've ordered, the eel had bones in them. That was very unpleasant, as it almost caused us to choke on it. We brushed the fault off thinking okay maybe they just had a bad eel this time. It has been consistent with the bones in the eel. I just finished eating some tonight, I had to cough the bones back out. On top of that, I was completely FREAKED out when I found a staple inside one of my maki. STAPLE! (yes, the little metal things that you staple your papers with). This time we were there waiting for our maki. We were told it would take 15-20 minutes, which was fine by us as we were doing errands at the post office across the street. 20 minutes later we arrived to pick up the food, and the girl there processed my credit card payment, walked into the kitchen, stood next to the sushi chef, chatted with him non-stop....we sat there another 15 minutes while they chatted. Finally I was fed up, It was well over 40 minutes, that was totally ridiculous. I peeked in and asked if we could get our food soon as it has been over 40 minutes. The girl was apologetic and said yes yes sorry about that. Here's what I think...the chef probably needed another pack of something to make our maki, opened it up, and perhaps there were staples in that package, and he was so busy chatting with the girl he didn't realized he stuck a staples along with the maki. I thought it was a bone when I pulled it out of my mouth...anyways still pretty freaked out about that. I like their maki, but I do not think I will be returning there or ordering take out from them for a long time, at least until i get that horrific image out of my head. read more

So I'm a huge fan of sushi but unfortunately for me, my family and boyfriend are not. Tonight I was on my own for dinner so I decided to take advantage of having a choice and ordered sushi takeout! This was my first time ordering from Sushi Corner. I got three different rolls, since I had trouble deciding what I wanted. I got the spicy tuna, crazy maki, and idaho maki. Spicy Tuna is usually my favorite, but that disappointed me. I think because it was takeout maybe they forgot the spicy mayo? Whatever the issue was, it was not spicy. Otherwise, the fish seemed fresh and the roll was put together nicely. The crazy maki was phenomenal: it is a crab tempura with avocado and cream cheese. The roll was huge and the crab crispy and delicious. The idaho maki was pretty good, but I had sort of wished I opted for something different, like the summer maki which included more than just the sweet potato. It was just a little unexciting. Overall, Sushi Corner was good, but not the best! read more

A very small place, a great date place. You can bring your own beer and wine. The food is very good and fresh. Prices are reasonable. Decor very sushi Bar like. And all around good Sushi spot. Off the beat'in path. in the Shaw's parking lot. Not Wheelchair Accessible.... read more

I've been here several times and have had mostly positive experiences. I actually don't think sushi is their best fare. Somewhat surprising given their name. Their sushi isn't bad, but it's not great either. For the price, the quality is decent and the portion size is very good. I've tried their combos and several rolls. Nothing stands out, but nothing was bad either. I think their best dishes are their seafood wonton udon soup and their salmon katsu (served with rice and green beans). The soups is tasty and the udon noodles have great texture. They give you a good amount of seafood and wontons. The salmon katsu is also very good and the amount for the price ($10) is outstanding. The sauce they give you for the salmon is extremely salty though. Overall, a decent in the wall, local sushi/Japanese shop. It's very small and hard to find. Give it a try, and given the price you can expect a decent meal. read more

I've been coming here for years now, and this place is nothing short of amazing. The sushi is fresh, and absolutely delicious. The sushi corner roll is by far one of my favorites with eel and avocado on top, shrimp tempura in the middle. The assorted fish with cream cheese roll is also another on of my favorites. The miso soup combined with a green tea on the side warms the soul. And any maki you choose will sure to keep you remembering this place. Go here! read more

Five Stars, food is really good. the staff are friendly. They take pride in the quality and presentation for sure. It's been many years of enjoying the sushi here. Can't recall a bad experience. I've eaten there once or twice a month for as long as I remember.... Thumbs Up! read more

This was a negative experience. I ordered food from here. You can not dine in. You can only have it delivery or pick up. I could not pick up. First the delively lady said, "I can't believe I had to climb these stairs." Then she walked away. I noticed I only had half of a 30 dollar order and asked her to come back...she ignored me. I called the restaurant. They said they would NOT reimburse me and then said they wanted me to pick it up...which I couldn't as it's after the blizzard and I have a broken foot. "You can pick it up or we can't reimburse you." It is a bad example of business. DO NOT buy from here!!!! EVER!!! read more

Food poisoning alert - Me and my BF always used to get take out from Sushi corner, it used to be our favorite place. Last night, tough, we got sushi and we both had food poisoning. I called there ans asked to speak to the manager, who pretended not to understand what I was talking about (hes asian), he kept saying we had had cooked fish (shrimp and scallop tempura sushi) so its not their fault. That was the only meal we had toghether, so I know it was. I asked him what he wanted to do about that and he kept pretending he was not understanding. Well never get back there again. read more
