New sushi spot in Salem. We Had to try it out. Not much parking out front. Only about 6 tables in there with a small sushi bar. Great service, very fresh sushi, and beautiful presentation. We ordered a garden salad to start which came with a delicious ginger dressing, also a avocado crab salad. We had the caterpillar roll, spicy lady roll, California roll which were all amazing. Excellent experience. You got to try this place out if you love sushi. read more

Sushi was a weird temperature and I was ill after. I just have to write more here because yelp is making me. read more

Absolutely terrific!!! We went here by accident, but so glad that we did. For a very low price, you can get quite high quality sushi. From our perspective, the classic maki rolls are truly classic and stay true to theirs flavors, just about fish and rice, and not about drenching the sushi in different kinds of sauce for presentation like other sushi places. The rice was cooked perfectly, being very soft and flavorful but not too mushy. The fish tastes fresh. 100% recommended!! read more

So delighted with this new addition to my community! You are treated so wonderfully when you walk in, and you walk out to enjoy a most delicious and fresh arrangement of sushi! Everyone I work with has been unable to keep their hands off of their phone to call order after order in multiple times a week, myself included! Mmm, thank you, Minzu! read more

Wow this sushi was Amazing!!!!! I ordered the Gyoza, the Salem Maki, and a California Maki. Everything was so delicious and fresh!!

This is a very good sushi place. I enjoyed the Salem maki. The miso soup was spot on. The gyoza is perfectly crispy and delicious. The staff is at tentative and friendly. There are tables here for eating in but if you come with a large party it could be an issue. Maybe call ahead. I will definitely be coming back. read more

We tried the Salem, Dragon and the California Maki and they were all great. Dragon was my favorite! Clean restaurant and fresh food. Do this guy a favor and call to order pickup instead of using GrubHub! - they take a % read more

We love Minzu Sushi! Excellent sushi, prices, and people. We have tried most of our local sushi restaurants and this is our overall favorite. Take out is always ready on time and it is also very pleasant to eat there. The waitstaff is very attentive. We have ordered most things on the menu, and everything has always been fresh and delicious! Thank you Minzu for being a great neighborhood spot! read more

I recently tried the Dragon and Rainbow maki at Minzu and I will definitely be a repeat customer. The maki was delicious, well priced, and you can watch your order being prepared with fresh ingredients. read more

Extremely reasonably priced sushi. We popped in for a Saturday evening dinner. Had the sweet potato roll, tempura shrimp roll, spicy tuna roll and salmon avocado. Generous fish to rice ratio! I do with they had a few other hot menu items, but what they do, they do well! The restaurant was a bit chilly. Perhaps turn up the heat a bit. I did notice they have a thriving take out business. Hopefully that continues because I would really like to see Minzu thrive! read more

Minzu Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

I've only ever gotten delivery but very tasty and reasonably priced sushi. Friendly service and fast delivery.

In the several months since Minzu opened I have gotten about one order a week; each time the lunch special of 3 rolls plus a soup for $12. They have given me a quality product with very pleasant service every time I have been there. I will continue to support this business. read more

This is my favorite sushi place in town. Lunch specials are inexpensive and the miso is excellent. I love the avocado salad with spicy crab stick and cucumber!!! The rolls are fresh, my favorite is the spicy yellowtail because they put the panko crunch inside the roll. Close to school and the lunch special of three rolls is big enough to split between two. read more

This sushi is AMAZING. I have been looking for a good sushi place in Salem (or even in the surrounding area) for a while and my search is over: this is the best by far. It reminds me of our favorite place in Boston. Great makis, great sashimi, good tempura. They also do soy paper instead of seaweed for maki if you prefer (which I do). New Friday night staple in my house. Thanks Minzu for being awesome. read more

Anytime I have a sushi craving, this is where I always order from. I always get the same sashimi deluxe and my family orders rolls and soup. There's nothing fancy or unique about this place, but simple, good, and consistent with their service. I only wished they used a different bed of veggie with the sashimi, similar to most other sushi restaurants use...I don't know what it is but it's like a white radish type of veggie in very thin strips. All in all, this place is good enough for my family and I, who frequently order out, and I recommend giving this place a try. read more

Discovered Minzu recently. Price and sushi are decent. Service is excellent. Very friendly and prompt as they hand your order to you at your car. read more

Just realized this restaurant existed, walking in it was a small cozy and quiet place with your usual top 40 music playing. Server was nice and fast and multitasked very well since it was just him and the sushi chef. They serve mostly sushi and sushi appetizers and soups. The food was fresh, well done and the rice to rich proportion was just right. read more

Minzu is awesome!! The maki & nigiri are always amazing and they have the best crab rangoon I've ever had. Everyone who works there is very kind as well. Definitely one of my favorite sushi places around! read more

By far the best sushi in Salem! No other restaurant comes close. Freshest ingredients and well prepared dishes. Great prices - Excellent staff. I'm considering getting a part-time job so I can eat here everyday. read more

This is my favorite sushi place on the north shore. Their fried Gyoza is to-die-for as well as the sweet potatoes tempura. Everything is always fresh. Would 10 out of 10 recommend!!!! read more

I've been here twice and it is definitely my new favorite! The rice is always warm (doesn't get much fresher than that) because the chef makes the sushi as it's ordered. Easily the best sushi restaurant in Salem! And to top it off, the prices are more than reasonable. read more

The food at Minzu is excellent. Fresh and very nice presentation. The location is a bit sketchy, but that's OK. The reason for 3 stars is because their service is amateurish with a very inexperienced wait staff. This really doesn't fit a sushi restaurant and detracts from the overall experience. read more

First time here and I'm impressed. The sushi is fresh and tasty. I like the Seaweed salad and Miso soup too. Very reasonably priced. read more

Minzu Sushi - Enjoyed the Spicy Girl, Caterpillar and Rainbow maki rolls. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Salem, Massachusetts

Heard great things and stopped by for a quick takeout lunch Sushi/Sashimi Combo... Fantastic!

My favorite place to get good quality sushi at a high value without the overpriced labels. Always friendly and considerate. Usually go weekly for my sushi fix. So yum! Also great location! read more

My favorite sushi place - a hole in the wall that serves top notch affordable sushi. As a college student, this place is a dime in a dozen with high quality food at a low cost. read more

Tried this place out based on reviews and it lived up. Place itself is small, and menu is simple, but the quality and service was great as well as affordable. Will be frequenting Minzu Sushi often. read more

I just got takeout from Minzu for the first time tonight. I got seaweed salad, a salmon and avocado roll, and the maki dinner special. The maki dinner special is: miso soup, tuna roll, California roll, and a shrimp tempura roll and it's very reasonably priced at about $13. Everything was fresh and delicious and well-presented. The shrimp tempura was probably my favorite. It was ready for pickup on time. I have a feeling the food would have been even better if I had dined in (by the time I was eating, it was probably 30 min after pickup), so I plan to do that next time. I wish the maki dinner special allowed you to choose your rolls like the lunch special does. That said, the maki lunch special looks great and I plan to get that next time 3 rolls, you choose from a list. I only did not give five stars because I have had better sushi, but I do think this is the best sushi locally, especially for the price. read more

Brand new facility and it is delish! got the crazy maki and it was one of the best i have ever had! Will be telling my friends about this place! read more

By far my favorite place to go for sushi. Excellent prices, outstanding quality and service is good. The cook is very friendly and remembers my girlfriend and I every time we come in. We always get what we order and is served very quickly. Easily the best sushi place in town! read more

This is my FAVORITE place to go for sushi. It is always Fresh. Delivery is quick, and they have great prices for delicious sushi.

I ordered the rainbow roll to go and it was delicious and the Edamame was standard but the wooden chopsticks they gave me had mold all over them! Good thing I don't know how to use chopsticks read more

I was browsing Yelp this evening looking for something new. I noticed the high ratings for this sushi restaurant in Salem. With all the construction on Canal Street in the past year I never noticed this unassuming place while driving by. Anyway, my wife and I tried it and I really is as good as everyone says. The sushi is really good and the prices are good too. The service was personable and the restaurant is totally clean. I noticed our server put on a disposable glove to add lemon wedges to our water. I'd say we have a go-to place to add to our list of area restaurants. read more

The sushi is great. Really sweet workers! Very clean and spaces inside. It's small not tight but a good small space. Comfortable.

Best sushi on the north shore! Have tried nearly everything on the menu, and it's all delicious and very fresh- great sashimi! It's a little off the beaten path in Salem but definitely worth the walk if you're in town, and definitely worth a drive if you're looking for sushi. The space is small and very casual for eating in. We have done take out as well (thru GrubHub)- I was skeptical that it would be as good, but the food was beautifully packed and presented and the quality didn't suffer. read more

soooooo good. I've gotten takeout and dined in several times and each experience is great. Food is ready fast and the staff is very friendly. Honestly, they're my first choice out of the sushi options in Salem. read more

This place is officially the best Sushi place around. I was previously a Gourmet Garden (still a great restaurant) fan, but I think this place blows it out of the water! I would eat here 7 nights a week if I could. The Minzu roll is incredible, and even just the simple veggie rolls are perfectly executed and very fresh. Everyone I've dealt with at this restaurant is super friendly, and will make any special accommodations if needed. As a grand opening special they offer 15% off your entire order over $20, which is so nice of them considering their regular prices are so cheap and reasonable anyway. I cannot say enough good things about this place! read more

Thought to try something different from my norm and found this place very close by. The service was great! 2 Miso soups, veggie Gyoza, philly maki, spicy girl and one other I can't remember. But everything was delicious and our check was only $34! We will definitely be back as this is our new favorite spot!!! read more

This is our 3rd time at Minzu and it never disappoints! Everything is fresh and yummy.
