Red's might serve the best fish sandwich in New England. The crispiness is crazy. It is a sandwich…read moreyou can only eat in all caps--CRUNCH. Beyond that, it's a super fresh, perfectly proportioned sandwich. And when you account for its emphasis on sustainability, it's the crunchiest, most delicious way to save the oceans. It's a new must for me when I hit Boston Public Market (the best food market in Boston for those in the know.... and also tourists like me who use Reddit and Yelp for food recs).

Public Market was much less touristy than Quincy Market so I decided to check it out. I ordered the…read morelobster roll here which came with a bag of Cape Cod chips. The lobster roll was pricey but it was hefty and had a large amount of lobster. I also appreciated that they put chives on top. The lobster meat tasted super fresh and the brioche roll was fresh as well. It's definitely better than any lobster roll you can get at Quincy Market. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area.

It has that casual, no-frills New England seafood shack feel, and the food really delivered…read more We tried the beer-battered fish & chips, clam chowder, and lobster roll. The fish was excellent--large pieces of fish with a golden, crispy batter on the outside while staying thick, flaky and moist inside. The fries and coleslaw made it a solid meal. The clam chowder was thick, creamy and loaded with potatoes and clam, exactly what I was hoping to find while visiting Boston. The large bowl is definitely enough to share if you're ordering other food. The lobster roll also had a generous amount of lobster meat and didn't need a bunch of extras to make it good. Prices aren't cheap, especially for lobster, but you're getting fresh seafood in Boston's Seaport from a family-owned seafood business that's been around since 1950. The service is great and food brought directly to table. If you're visiting Boston and want a casual place for traditional New England seafood, Yankee Lobster is absolutely worth a stop. I'd come back.

Decent, but a bit pricey for what you get…read more Stopped by Yankee Lobster for lunch. The hot buttered lobster roll was definitely good, nice and fresh but honestly, it just doesn't compare to getting one actually up in Maine. I also grabbed a half-dozen oysters which were fresh and tasty, though they felt a bit overpriced for the portion. Service was noticeably slow, even though it wasn't packed, so expect to wait a bit. It's an okay spot if you're craving seafood in the area, but there are better values to be found. I'd say 3.5 stars to be fair.

Not to say it wasn't bad but I can tell why so many locals told me they don't actually eat lobster rolls and rather make/boil lobster at home. For reference I ate an entire ayca seafood with lobster oysters and crab in nyc for that price. I cannot find a way that justifies the insane price. Still good but idk if I'll go try more anytime soon.

Generous amount of fresh lobster meat and not an ounce of overwhelming from the mayo, everything was harmonious and just a really well executed lobster. The price is just for the quality and amount of lobster compared to other popular lobster roll places, highly recommend! It also came with a bag of chips. Ambiance 4/5 -Standard food court seating options, nothing to write home about.

Located inside the Boston Public Market with plenty of seating. We decided to give them a try on a Sunday @ 4:30 pm (best time to come- it was empty). Got their fish & chips of course, lobster roll & fried oysters. All the seafood is fresh & made to order. Everything was good but I wouldn't say it's the best though. The fish was a bit bland & could be crispier, it's 1 big piece in an order plus a lot of fries, which I didn't care for. Just the fried fish à la carte would've been nice. The lobster roll was very delicious- fresh & flavorful. The fried oysters were tender with a juicy center that tasted fresh from the ocean as well as some sand in my mouth :o Definitely worth trying.

This is a very no nonsense, no frills, no tablecloth place that will leave you feeling super satisfied. The women who take your orders are extremely efficient, yet still manage answer any questions you have. The clam chowder is exactly what you should have in Boston. The fried fish... I can't sing the praise loud enough about it. If you don't mind eating in your car, or standing around waiting for a table to open up, this is the place for you. I would take it any day over some of the fancy, famous places that the Internet recommends.

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.

We tried a couple different bowls of theirs and all were delicious. I loved the variety of ingredients they had for customization, and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

The shop is small with only two chairs, so getting takeout is probably the best option. They even gave us a free cup of their lychee drink to try, which I thought was delicious!
