Fresh sushi and sashimi, also cheap

I bought the fresh fish to use for home made sushi rolls. Its so nice to be able to also buy small amounts of fresh seaweed salad, roe, ect ectI often come in for ramen paste or furikake too. Oishii!

Overall experience was okay. The Salmon and Tuna Bowl had 8 very thinly sliced fish that is definitely misleading from the pictures shown. Many who order buy the fish from the packages (expensive per lb) and add rice.

Lovely little place, their sushi makes for a great snack.

What…?How have I not visited this small but mightily-awesome establishment a lot sooner? This tiny Japanese fish market is just a couple minutes away and I’ve somehow failed to visit them until very recently. I guess it has a lot to do with not craving fish for the last year BUT when the first hint of desire for seafood returned, their name immediately popped up in my mind.I’ve been back several times since the initial visit. Their variety of sashimi grade fish as well as specials in their frozen section (fish trimmings and fish heads) definitely suit my personal culinary preferences. On top of that, they actually provide a chirashi service (for a dollar) where they slice the fish you purchased and lay it atop sushi rice for you. This allows you to fully customize your chirashi bowls according to what you crave in the very moment.Friendly people, fresh ingredients, decently priced. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to be back again soon!

I am Japanese and I went to the store on Feb 10, the first time visit for me. Their products are very nice and inexpensive. However, the female cashier (who spoke Japanese) was extremely rude. She didn't say anything when I said "Hello" in Japanese. After calculating things, she said the price in Japanese under her breath and started looking at her phone right away. She didn't look at my face even once the entire time. I won't go here ever again because I do not want to use my money for such rude behavior.

Best place to get kaisendon (sashimi over rice) in Boston! Fish is very fresh and you get to pick and choose what you want on it. They have good sushi/roll deals too.

Love pre-ordering here (but it might take a few tries since it's done by person over the phone). The store itself is small but has a carries a wide variety of select items such as shoyu, sushi mats, frozen items (including fish heads for soup!), sushi grade fish, and other types of fish for cooking, little containers of side dishes. Pre-order for anything that might take time to put together such as sashimi for temaki and rice bowls. Didn't see a lot of fresh greens.

Super fresh fish. They make sushi/ sashimi platters as well.

We ordered for pick up. Sushi was delicious. We selected one of the platters. They basically charge for everything like wasabi packets, soy sauce and utensils. Overall, it's already

High quality fish at good prices. Been looking for a place like this for a while and glad I found it.

Good for a quick bite of takeout sushi. Nothing more. Better sushi can be found at Hanami in Belmont, not far away. The bakery next door is to die for!
