North End Fish & Sushi

"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."

"Went to this place 2 times during my 3-day stay in Boston. The lobster roll is decent and you just can't beat the price of $19 in Salem St (be noted that they are cold, not hot and buttered). Hand-rolled sushi is fine too. The staffs were nice and attentive. I recommend grabbing the takeout and finding a place to eat in Paul Revere park."

"Arguably the worst sushi we’ve tried in Boston. No idea why this place has such good reviews. The sushi we ordered was basically inedible and as sushi lovers and broke college students it hurt to have to throw away precious raw fish that we spent over $40 on! We ordered the salmon lover combo and the spicy tuna salad. The rice was undercooked and unseasoned. It was hard and tasteless (usually the rice is dressed with vinegar). We decided to dig all the fish out from the rolls and leave the rice from the nigiri because it was so awful. The fish was extremely chewy—the tuna being a lot worse than the salmon. We ended up throwing out half the tuna because we couldn’t bring ourselves to keep eating it. You know it’s bad when the only good ingredient was the avocado. A very disappointing experience…"

"This is a must go for anyone who is going to Boston. This has the best lobster roll I’ve ever had period. They’re good is on the spendy side, but everything that they have is absolutely worth every penny. There is no indoor seating area, so be prepared to take your food on the go. There’s many ways to eat whatever you do order, whether you take it back to your place, or you just eat on the street, there is not a wrong option. I highly recommend getting their Spicy Tuna roll with one lobster roll. You will walk away so satisfied, you can then go back with the knowledge and power to order ANYTHING off of their menu with confidence."

"North End Fish Market is my favorite spot for sushi. You will be underwhelmed when you walk in but will be blown away by how generous and delicious the sushi is. This spot is easy to miss from the outside. Look for the blue sign as you head down Salem St. (On the right). Also note that there are no spots to sit, as this is a take out only joint. When the weather is good I recommend sitting at the park off of Cross St. (just one block away). The flavors are unique, the quality consistent, and the service is great. My favorite rolls are Spicy Girl and Volcano roll."
