Stopped in for lunch for the first time after 10 yrs of living in haverhill. When my wife and I walked in, we were surprised that it's actually not as bad as what we were told. "A dump". It's nicely decorated and very clean. Their employee's first reaction was like a Chinese is in here, they are spying on our business. LOL. Yes I felt that way. Food was okay, we'd ordered salmon bento box, chicken bento box and I ordered an extra Szechuan chicken lunch specials. Omfg! Their chicken was battered? So weird, cuz i had the same meal every time at every chinese restaurant. They actually used something like General Gaus chicken, which is battered chopped them up and served them as Szechuan chicken aka Kung Pao chicken. Chicken teriyaki was very dried, and hot and sour soup was nothing like any other chinese restaurant. But at least I have one good meal out of three. 3 stars for now, but will revisit and see what they have for the rest on their menu. read more

Sushi Time - Japanese Near Me - Plaistow, New Hampshire

Sushi was pretty decent and reasonably priced. No issues there. My problems were with the waitress as well as the sushi chef. We entered and were told by the chef to sit where we wanted. No hello. No nothing. Waitress came by and put some menus on the table. Again, no greeting. She came back a few moments later and asked what we wanted for drinks. I asked if they had iced green tea. She made a face, so I asked for hot green tea. That made more sense, as she jotted that down. Wife just had water. We ordered a sushi/shashimi combo plate for two. It came around pretty quickly. It was... just sushi and sashimi. As I said, tasted fine, but nothing fancy. Garnish was very lacking. I don't need a lot of garnish, but places that don't add some neat bit of garnish to their plates are usually much cheaper than this one. Trade-offs, you know? We were never offered refills, and were never asked how we were doing until it was noticed that our plate was empty. Only then were we asked if we enjoyed the meal. I understand off nights, but to have this little interaction with your customers just turned me off fa bit. My wife is one of those that doesn't believe in tipping less than 15% under any circumstances, so I feel like we condoned the lack of attention, sadly. We will probably come back if we feel like sushi and don't want to drive much more than a stone's throw from home, but it's certainly not going to be my top choice. Anyway, was full of tasty sushi at the end of the night, so what more can a guy want? read more

One of my favorite sushi places in the northern Mass, southern NH area and a must every time I'm in town. Love their vast variety of rolls, fresh fish and their willingness to uncrunchify (take out the tempura) their spicy rolls so that they are a bit healthier (and to me tastier). I can do with out the sake spray bottle thingy, last time I was there they didn't do that so maybe they stopped... It's a small place, I'm not sure they take reservations but if you are going on the weekend you might want to check! read more

Great drink menu huge sushi menu and great Chinese food too. This is the best pork fried rice I have ever had and it's the same every time. Sushi is tip top and some much to choose from scorpion king is a favorite. Ask for the sushi time special. It's like a Mai Tai with apricot brandy. read more

We have dined here several times. Sushi is served beautifully and is very fresh-tasting and delicious. Service is pretty good and friendly but a little bit rushed and the food has never come out at the same time for all diners at the table during any of our multiple experiences here. The noise from the bar kind of drowns out whatever the server is saying and affects conversation at the table, too. The ambiance is friendly and fun, and the place is very clean. The Chinese and other-food-that-is-not-sushi is not so good, though, so skip it. It's a big letdown considering the fact that the sushi is good. IF the rating was only for sushi, there would be one more star, but since the menu contains offerings that have let us down over several visits, the result is three stars, (which isn't really that bad after all, just not a first choice for places to go.) read more

I just love these folks. consistently wonderful food, great service by lovely people, and a cosy atmosphere all contribute to an excellent experience. read more

Great meal both times we come here! We are new to the area and were hoping to find a decent sushi restaurant. We lucked out with Sushi Time! Doesn't look like much inside but the sushi is inventive and fresh! We will definitely be back!! read more

Good prices delicious food fresh fish. Just had lunch for 2 with drinks for $30. Great service. Love this place for dine in or take out.

Sushi time is all you need. Great drinks (I love their white Mai tie) and delicious food. Dinner for two including alcoholic drinks and meals has never rune over 30/40 bucks. Love it read more

Love this place and always get my sushi there. But today the girl didn't bring me my drink nor did she check and see if we needed anything.....Hello where's my sake...after she brought my bill she said "Oh I didn't get your drink, would you like it now." I was done eating any just waiting for my daughters to get done..... She must have been too into the movie playing then putting the order in right. Might have to try Wang Table. Amandaa read more

Always delicious food and enjoy seeing everyone . We feel like we have become part of the family

I have been going to this place since they opened in 2008. They have expanded over the years and the Sushi and other meals are great. They have a full bar and a great staff. read more

Good food, but forget about Covid safety measures. I ordered take-out for curbside pickup, and the person accepted the order. When I arrived for the pickup and called the restaurant they said I should enter the restaurant and pick up the food. I stated I couldn't do that, and reminded them they agreed to a curbside pickup. The person then stormed out of the restaurant and left the food on the sidewalk - very rude. They won't be getting my business after things open up again. read more

Who would have thought that there would be such a good Asian restaurant in Plaistow? Nice interior, good drinks, good food and I have tried many different things over multiple visits. And it's all reasonably priced! read more

I gave this place a 2 because I received a very tasteless Hot and Sour Soup. My Lunch combination platter tasted like cornstarch and the crab rangoons were so small. I have been going here for many years and this was the best in my book to Hot and Sour Soup but now I think that will change. On the flip side the remodel was very nice for a change. read more

Sushi time is a great stand by. The renovations have really improved the ambience and the food is always great! Good drink selection as well, and the wait staff are top notch and very attentive. A personal favorite! read more

Every single time we come to sushi time we have an amazing experience. Staff is great and food is even better ! Best sushi around !!!!!!

I was surprised when my friend suggested trying this place a year or so ago. Sushi time? Sounds like the burger king of sushi places. yet I was extremely surprised at how amazing this place is. First off the fish is extremely fresh, i've never had my order messed up, and I get treated like family when I walk in. And really, how can you beat having sake squirted in your mouth with a squirt bottle? I continue to frequent this restaurant as I've never had a bad meal or experience yet. Way to go!! read more

My husband and I are big fans of this place (our favorite sushi place for couple years since we found them, and we had been living in Billerica). If you like spicy tuna, Go for Double spicy tuna. Its Spicy tuna inside and out!! and the price? $8.95!!! Every time we go there thats always on one of our order with 2 Kani Salad appetizer. other chef specials Roll are fantastic too, and if you want a free amazing cold sake, What are you waiting for?? go now!!! read more

The absolute best restaurant in town. Sushi is amazing, drinks are fantastic, and atmosphere is welcoming. I could not recommend Sushi Time enough. read more

I love sushi time! I've come here a bunch of times now and I haven't been disappointed in any of my meals. I haven't delved to far past the appetizers and sushi menu but that's what I'd highly recommend anyways. The crab Rangoon and scallion pancakes are to die for and the sashimi and any raw fish is always fresh. It's a perfect place to go if you're looking for a large variety of sushi! They have a huge selection of special maki and the usual maki and it's allllll good. The sashimi for two is such a large selection too. The staff is always friendly and constantly making sure you have everything you need. read more

This is absolutely the goto place in southern New Hampshire for sushi. The menu is extensive offereing the best fresh sushi in the area. The price points are also more than reasonable with rolls starting at around $4. The drink menu is 6 pages long offering drinks at prices lower than most any other restaurant in the area. I absolutely would recommend Sushi Time to anyone in the area locking for a great meal. read more

The worst Chinese food I've ever had in my life. Crab rangoons tasted horrible. Chicken was disgusting. Go somewhere else if you want Chinese food. Oh yeah service isn't that great either. read more

After having to go to Salem or Portsmouth, NH for sushi that was worth it, I'm glad I heard about sushi time! I found that their selection and pricing was agreeable, and I have to say I was impressed with that came out on the plate, from my initial impression from its location. The plaza where it is located made me think that it might be lacking in quality, but I was proved wrong when I finally went. The waitstaff was very attentive, and made sure everything was to my satisfaction. The specials were clearly displayed and I could see the sushi being prepared, so that's a plus in my book. In the end I received food that I usually pay more for. The chefs even took the time to get creative with the presentation. Near the end of the meal, I was ambushed with the sake attack! Our server appeared with a squeeze bottle of sake, and we got a free shot of sake, which was nice. Some people I've talked with complained about sanitation concerns, but you can politely refuse the saki attack. We were asked, so no worries. I was in a rush, so I ordered a roll, and I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! It looks ghetto fabulous from the outside, but u walk in and you'd never expect it. It's so nice! You think you're gonna get worms when ur outside walking in, and u end up in a sushi place that would rival those in Boston. The sushi is fresh and amazing. The prices are soooo cheap for sushi. Don't miss out! read more

I absolutely love sushi time. Kudos to the recent redo a while ago, the atmosphere is so much better. Prices are fair, fish is fresh and service is always speedy. I'm not very picky about my sushi, but the lunch special seems like a great deal to me. No complaints whatsoever, definitely will be going again soon. Good work guys! read more

While I was at Sushi Time I ordered a bunch of different types of Sashimi and Nigiri. Unfortunately, it was incorrectly input multiple times. The first time our waiter never actually recorded our orders and just walked away after we had finished going around the table. (He came back on a separate occasion with some random udon?) When he came the third time our waiter violated any semblance of personal space and wrote our orders down while staring into our faces. (One of the most awkward dining experiences I've ever had) The food itself was merely passable; the experience definitely knocked the general reception down quite a few stars and left us apprehensive about visiting again. read more

Been here since long before the remodel and it's always been fantastic. The owners know my boyfriend and I personally and are always happy to see us. The sushi is the best quality I've found in NE. They have the freshest fish, and the Kani salad is a must try, (You get it once and you'll always get it). Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get really good sushi and have a good time in a nice ambiance. read more

The sushi here is actually quite good which is surprising because the location isn't great & from the outside it looks like a place you would never want to go into. The inside is nicer but definitely nothing upscale! The Chinese food offered is okay nothing great. The service is great.. if you're in the area and want a convenient cheap option it's a good choice! read more

Beyond beyond horrible service!! When did this place get so slooooow... 50 minutes wait after ordering uncooked sushi is just unacceptable.and no apology or offer for more drinks. Wait staff didn't even check in with us or give us a status update and the place wasn't even full! So horrible we walked out, Do not plan on going back. read more

My family didn't even know this sushi restaurant was here, but we were happy to find it and pleasantly surprised. They had a good huge sushi roll selection, in addition to many non-sushi options. I recommend the Summer Roll, it was our favorite. read more

Eat in or take out, this is my favorite sushi spot in the merrimack valley area. Sometimes very packed but if you hit just right you can have the whole place to your self. Take out time is very quick even when not calling ahead. Staff is very friendly and always willing to offer suggestions or accomidate cravings. read more

My favorite local sushi place! I've been coming here since day one; prior to renovations... and I've yet to have anything less than a spectacular experience. Love the staff, food, and drinks alike. You can't go wrong with any of their specialty rolls. read more

Excellent service and a fun menu with lots of sushi options. I've tried a bunch of different kinds and liked them all :) Love the avocado salad too! Always a go-to place for a great meal. read more

My favorite place to go. Not just for this genre of food but period. Best atmosphere, people and food., My only complaint is that when i go there i spend to much money not because its expensive but because i wanna try so many different things. I mean come on they added a bar. You can't beat that. More saki more happy read more

Let me say this first. Best. Sushi. Ever. The food and drinks our always great. My issue has always been with the service at this place. I have a family with small children. We always try to come early for lunch and it's pretty quite and easy to enjoy with a family, however they had a server that would TOUCH my baby, like patting on the head and grabbing her hands etc. it happened evertime he would come to our table. So like 4 to 5 times per visit. We stopped going because of him and it bummed us out. Cause we love the food! They may have gotten rid of him by now because the last couple times we came in he wasn't there. My 3 star is from our service last night. We came in with an infant a two year old and a 10 year old. They decided to sit us right behind a large group of drunk 21 year olds cussing bouncing around so much that the booth (which seemed broken loosened on the backrest) was bouncing on my back while I was holding my baby trying to nurse, and they were just sloppy. I love to party like the next guy, but I would hope they would have more common sense then to seat us next to a bunch of jocks learning how to drink at dinner time. We literally asked for our order to be wrapped up so we could eat it in the car. it sucked. read more

My family has been coming to Sushi Time since it opened. They always cook/prepare fresh food and quickly. The staff are polite and make the atmosphere more than enjoyable. The remodel brings the interior look to the same level as the food and service. read more
