    1 Seaweed Salad Shrimp Tempura 26 Maki Platter 4 Spicy Crab Salad
    Adina S.

    The sushi from this place is top notch! My friends and I have ordered from here a few times, but I've never actually gone in person, so I can't comment on the service or ambiance. If you're going to order for a group, definitely go with one of the platters, which always seems to end up being a better deal. I've always been happy with the quality and freshness of the fish. Would happily recommend!

    Came here for a lobster roll under $20 and got one with chowder as part of a special! I can see why it was so inexpensive since it's really tiny, but it was a good size for me especially because I got an eel avocado roll as well. Everything was good and the lobster roll was served cold. This is a hole in the wall type of place so don't expect to dine in you're gonna grab and go with some decently quick service! This place gets the job done, no frills, though the sushi is also pretty small.

    Lunch Special - 2 simple rolls and 2 sides for $17!
    Rachel K.

    Very fresh and great prices! Their lunch special Monday-Friday (open-3pm I believe) was incredible - 2 Simple Rolls and 2 sides for $17, + $3 to add Miso Soup. Can't beat it! the ambience itself isn't much, but no complaints with our food! Some of the best miso soup I've had. Lovedddd the Seaweed Salad. Take out only - we enjoyed our lunch in Cherry Park a few blocks down.

    Salmon Lover

    A small takeout sushi place right in the North End. The quality is great, and surprisingly the price is also great, despite being in the city. They also don't pack the sushi with rice. I ordered salmon lover and spicy girl roll: both dishes being fantastic, especially the spicy girl roll. I ordered in person and they finished my order within 5-10 minutes, even with an order ahead of mine. Service was fast and efficient. There are a few steps getting down to the place. They also serve a lobster roll (and I've heard good things about it) that I will have to try next time.

    Lobster Roll Clam Chowder Combo

    Talk about hidden gem for a lobster roll and some clam chowder. First, if you're over 5'5 you might just miss the door all together, second, they serve sushi mainly and the lobster roll is minimally advertised. Well for $27 you get a cold lobster roll and clam chowder and let me tell you, both were PHENOMENAL. Super tender lobster (though the roll is small so be prepared), perfect toast on the bun and a subtle light mayo coating. Top that all up with some solid clam chowder and it's a perfect lunch. Service took about 10 minutes and there is nowhere to wait inside so you have to stroll around which just is never an issue in north end. For the value and the taste I really don't think you can get a better every day roll without going bankrupt. Will absolutely come agaib

    Quaint and charming little sushi spot that offers only takeout sushi. With the sushi being so fresh and top grade, I'm surprised at how cheap it is! There are some great and cheap sushi combos, the Maki Trio being one of them. Most places pack sushi rolls with a lot of rice but this isn't the case with North End Fish Market. While the rolls itself are a little smaller than what I'm used it, it's still a great bang for your buck. I also ordered a Spicy Salmon roll but instead got a Salmon and Avocado wrong. Small mistake there but still very delicious. The handroll was stuffed and I got a lot of fish for just one handroll. Will definitely be ordering again in the near future!

    Takeout only, no dine in

    I don't know if I was just unlucky today but I got food poisoning after eating the Mt. Fuji roll and one of the specials. :( there are a lot of good reviews so I'm hoping that it was just a rare experience. They were nice behind the counter, accept credit card and it's takeout only.

    Sashimi deluxe
    Ali S.

    Very fresh and good quality and quantity. Very friendly, highly recommend . I'm a very picky fish eater, I abandoned my next door tori sushi for north end fish and sushi, it definitely worth the trip.

    I already took a few bites.

    I've been coming to this sushi spot for over five years, and it never disappoints. The quality is consistently excellent--fresh fish, beautifully prepared rolls, and flavors that keep me coming back every time. The staff is always welcoming and attentive, making you feel like a valued regular, not just another customer. Only for ordering takeout. This place has truly become my go-to sushi spot, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great sushi and reliable service.

    Lobster Roll Sandwich - really good. Cold lobster on a buttery, toasted roll
    Marcus L.

    North End is a really small shop that doesn't stand out much in appearance but really delivers in food quality and service. LOBSTER ROLL I tried 3 of Boston's top ranked lobster rolls and North End's ended up being my favorite. I was a bit surprised that this was my favorite since I favor hot lobster. The interesting thing was that the 3 rolls I tried varied in both size and price quite drastically. I'd describe North End's lobster roll as medium sized. At $18, North End's lobster roll was easily the best value of the lobster rolls I saw in town. The lobster roll here has great balance. The cold lobster tastes great and the toasted bread works perfectly together. I loved the structure of the roll. It all held together till my last bite. Visually, it wasn't the greatest. Since all food is take out here, the rolls are just wrapped up and handed to you in a bag. SERVICE Friendly, welcoming people.

    FOOD: I got the Lady In Red and the Spicy Tuna roll for delivery. Both were great quality, taste, and price! I can't comment on the service or ambiance since this was a delivery order, but I can't wait to go back and try out more of their menu.

    The best and most humble sushi spot in all of Boston! Tucked away in the heart of the North End is this delicious underground sushi basement! The prices are so reasonable and the quality is fantastic. It is only takeout, so my girlfriend and I took it back to hers. Can't wait for my next visit to Boston, this spot was incredible

    Clam chowder
    Allison T.

    Hidden behind a modest entrance, North End Fish Market is a little takeout spot that lets the food shine. We put their lobster roll to the test against Hook & Co.--and to our surprise, this one won. Smaller but packed with fresh, tender lobster, it was a steal for the price. The clam chowder was rich and the food was made quick to order!

    Haven't been here in a while but it's still the best hot lobster roll in town!…read more Get there early to get seated first round. They cram you in like sardines so try to get a good spot! You're most likely be sharing a table with other diners. The mussels in a spicy flavorful red sauce were cooked perfectly. They only came with 2 small pieces of grilled bread. If you like to dunk your bread and soak up all the yummy broth, ask for more bread when you order. The fries dipped in there are also really good! Lobster roll was delicious and juicy on a buttery brioche bun. So much lobster! And the fries are so crispy and salty! My friend ordered the North End Cioppino that comes in a rice spicy brodo with clams, mussels, shrimp, and 2 types of fish (I forget what they were). The broth was ok and the whole shrimp was a chore to eat. The mussel sauce would've been better. Note: one small dark bathroom at end of bar Parking is very hard to find as most are resident. Try side roads or Cross street for some meters if you're lucky.

It was Friday afternoon into evening so makes sense. We came back late night around 9:30pm and waited for like 5 minutes before being seated. The place is small. You're basically sharing dinner with the stranger next to you with how close you're sitting. Thankfully our strangers were cool lol. We tried a variety of oysters, cocktail shrimp, and the razor clams which we heard were amazing. All I'm gonna say is, I would have been annoyed if I waited in line for hours for the items we got. The cocktail shrimp was decent - it was a good size, juicy, and delicious. The razor clams were a miss. Rubbery and too many other things in the dish overshadowing the clams. We got two different kinds of fresh clams which my husband said were okay. I'm not a fan of fresh clams. The oysters were good, but after having been to Row 34, I can't justify standing in line for oysters in a place that doesn't have much else worth trying.

    Let me get the one negative I have about this place out of the way - NO AC!…read moreIf you happen to want to try Giacomo's, make sure it isn't humid or overwhelming hot like how it was for my family and I, otherwise you will be suffocating. I felt horrible for the chefs in the back and the staff who were working amidst the flames in that heat for hours, wow. However... given the circumstance and the appropriate weather, Giacomo's might just be one of the most scenic and atmospheric spots in all of Boston's Little Italy in the North End. I can promise you, if you're looking for good quality Italian food with no fillers in portioning or shortcuts in meal quality and preparation - Giacomo's is for you. Some of the best bites of food I've had in recent memory from any place I've been to period! The joint and the staff have such class and professionalism, it's an experience all to itself. I will be back next time to sample more of their delicious and famous seasonal menu items and wine pairings. Cash only spot as of right now and I'm unsure if they plan on changing it, so be mindful of that.

Ordered bruschetta, meatballs and clam chowder for apps, clam linguine, lobster fra diavolo and penne bolognese - and everything was really good. Sauces are made in house and you have the option to pick your pasta, sauce and seafood option or select from an extensive menu. Food was flavorful and came out piping hot. Service was friendly and efficient. We were seated downstairs and ambiance was casual. Cash only and they have an ATM machine inside. First come first serve, lines can look imidating but moved pretty fast. Overall, if you are looking for delicious Italian food Giacomo's is a solid option.

    The Daily Catch (original North End location)…read more This is the original Daily Catch, opened in 1973 by Paul Freddura in a tiny Hanover Street storefront. He started by frying local squid and calling it calamari at a time when most Bostonians still treated it as bait. In 1979 he and Maria turned the space into the Calamari Café, added an open kitchen, and began serving Sicilian-style seafood and pasta directly in the pan. More than fifty years later the same family still runs the place, and the original room remains deliberately small, cash-only, and first-come, first-served. I came twice in a row for the Monkfish Marsala over squid-ink pasta and would happily return for a third. The dish is rich, properly seasoned, and the black pasta holds the sauce without turning gummy. Unless your party fills an entire table you will almost certainly share with other diners. Dining alone the last couple of nights, I ended up talking with people from all over who were also in Boston on vacation. The shared tables add to the experience if you are open to it. There is nearly always a line outside. It is worth the wait. Be patient, bring cash, and watch the cooks work the pans right in front of you. This is still one of the most honest and flavorful seafood rooms in the North End. From what I understand, there's now a couple other locations; even one in Pasadena, CA...! I may eventually try the others, but the OG location always has a special place in my heart!

Our wait staff was incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing, and the whole experience was truly out of this world. I started with the Golden Tide, which was a delicious combination of pineapple and orgeat flavors. Refreshing, tropical, and a great way to kick things off. For appetizers, I ordered fresh raw oysters and the scallop ceviche, I honestly don't know much about choosing oysters, so my waitress basically gave me a mini oyster class and I was impressed by how knowledgeable she was! She explained the differences between oysters, including how some are creamy and briny while others are much saltier, almost like taking a bite straight out of the ocean. Such a cool experience and something I genuinely appreciated. And that scallop ceviche? Hands down, the BEST ceviche I've ever had. The scallops were incredible, and I loved that they served it with root vegetable chips instead of the typical tortilla chips. Sweet potato chips added such a unique flavor and texture. Absolutely delicious! For dinner, I had the sumac-crusted tuna with haricots and assorted vegetables, and it was fantastic. The tuna was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and paired perfectly with the vegetables. Between the food, the atmosphere, the energy, and especially the knowledgeable and attentive service, Row 34 delivered a dining experience that I'll definitely remember. This is exactly the kind of restaurant that makes dining out feel like an experience rather than just a meal.
