Sushi was good, Crab rangoon was ice cold. I ordered ahead for 7:30, got there and was told to wait another 15 minutes as they hadn’t began making my food. Disappointing!

Food is not great anymore. Fish is frozen and not sure what I’m even eating in the Chirashi bowl. Used to be my go to spot for sushi in Boston, but now I need to find a new spot.Not coming back here anymore. I would suggest you do the same.

Nice small place with interesting rolls. They tasted good. Unfortunately I got food poisoning from them the one time I ordered there even though I consumed the food within 20 minutes. I seem to be an anomaly based on others’ experiences.

North End Fish and Sushi is the best sushi in all of Boston. NEFS has average appetizers, we got the gyoza. As for the entree you can’t find better. The Massachusetts Roll is the meaning of this great state. It has cooked Salmon and avocado on it. There is always a dollop of salmon on the side which is a nice little treat. Now talking raw sushi I highly recommend the Tuna with Avocado and Cucumber. It is hands down the best Tuna roll (so I’ve been told). Lastly if you are a vegan the sweet potato roll is so good. Usually they get a little soggy but these stayed impact.If you are in Boston and looking for great Sushi come take a look at this hole in the wall (literally a hold underground). You won’t be disappointed with this 4.6 out of 5 spot #massrollrocks

Small hole in the wall on Salem Street in Boston. Take away only. Food is outstanding. Always fresh fish.

Flavors - 4.5/5Textures - 4.2/5Presentation - 4/5Value for Money - 4.5/5Would return? YesThey've got one type of lobster roll - the cold one. I'll be honest, it looks massive in the picture, but it's pretty tiny. At just $19, it's a total steal though.Now, let's talk flavors. Impressive! The bun plays a major role here - they load it up with so much butter that my fingers were slipping and sliding all over the place. Not the most enjoyable, but man, it brings that extra oomph to the roll. The lobster salad's mayo is light and delightful, and the addition of celery gives it a nice twist. It's a flavor fiesta in there, and everything stays beautifully intact as I devoured it.Here's the bummer - it's takeout only but it's worth it! I gave it a solid 4.4 out of 5.

Loved the tuna roll, tuna nigiri and shrimp tempura roll

Honestly the best sushi I’ve had in a LONG time. Got the spicy salmon avocado roll, salmon avocado roll and the crazy salmon maki roll. The salmon was so smooth and delicious you could hardly tell the texture between the avocado and the salmon. The price was also amazing. This is definitely a new regular spot for me!!

inexpensive spot in the north end for some fresh, great sushi!!it's underground and pretty small inside - no seating inside but plenty of spots near the public market or downtown to eat. service was incredibly fast and there are several rolls to choose from - most of the normal rolls (8 pcs) are around $6 and specialty rolls are more. the fish is very fresh and the rolls are very solid. definitely not the largest or most filled rolls but still so good for the price. would definitely recommend as a convenient lunch spot in the north end!
Fresh fish & out of this world lobstah roll!This little hole in the wall is the real deal.

The eponymous hole-in-the-wall sushi spot. Easy to miss but absolutely worth stopping by. Plan for taking the food to-go as there really isn’t any seating inside, but the food is phenomenal and the prices are quite good. We took our sushi a few short blocks to Rose Kennedy Greenway where there are plenty of tables and chairs for an outdoor meal.

I've had a lobster roll, it was okay, but not something I would get again or recommend, it was quite a bland taste - I think a bit more celery and some pepper would have made the taste pop. I didn't know you cannot sit and eat, and since I was walking, I couldn't get sushi, but there were a lot of people picking up sushi, so it seems like a popular place for it.

Hidden gem in a neighborhood of Italian restaurant! No seating (takeout only), but there's a park a few blocks away that's great for picnics.I got the lobster roll which they advertise out front. And after eating lobster rolls at 6 different places around Boston, this is hands down the best taste AND best value (beating famous places like Yankee, Row 34, and James Hook). The family who owns the store is so sweet. Recommend to walk the freedom trail and ending with a lobster roll here for a classic Boston experience.
