Really Good Sushi in JP 5/17/2010

I had a great time at my last visit. I sat at the bar and dined alone for dinner but struck up fantastic conversation with the woman next to me, who ended up being a very interesting person. Good food and great conversation comes to mind when I visit this place. Delicious salmon and veggie sushi. Pros: quick service Cons: none fo far more

Great Food 11/8/2009

If your looking for good sushi and good Japanese food this is the place to go. After years of trying to find ""proper"" Japanese food we finally found it at JP Seafood. They also serve some terrific Korean dishes like Japchae & Gyoza( and you can have that as beef or vegetable!) The maki is always fresh and yummy!!! Have even ventured into sashimi which I must say is fresh and delectable here not chewy like some other places we've been. If your a vegetarian there are plenty of choices on the menu for you & if you love fish this is better than Legal's! The staff always serve you with a smile and get the food to you nice and hot. If your in JP you have to come here to eat! Pros: good fast service, fresh made to order food Cons: busy more

clear your sinuses 7/16/2009

Tonight we went to JP Seafood and FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW ordered a SPICY TUNA HANDROLL where the spice was OFF THE CHARTS. NOT GOOD!!!! NOT GOOD!!! We were drooling and our mouths were ON FIRE for a good half hour. AND obviously we could not even finish it. We LOVE sushi. We love spicy hot food.....but this is unfair to customers and a bad order. DO NOT GET IT. And actually think twice about going to this restaurant. The service is awful and the ambiance is totally lacking. Cons: TOOOOOOO MUCH SPICE IN THE SPICY TUNA HANDROLL more

Kick-ass Sushi 9/14/2008

The Omakase here is the best!!!!!! Great friendly Sushi Chefs, and servers. I also love their grilled fish dinners and Bibimbops. A Must Try: Scallion Pancake! YUMMMMM.. It's too bad that I don't live nearby, I would come here everyday. Pros: Great foods, service, and energy Cons: This is a popular restaurant, so be expected to wait, especially on weekend nights. more

Everyone knows your name + great food 7/13/2006

If you are a regular here, they will get to know you quickly, know what you like and dislike, and bend over backwards for you (within reason!). The food is always good (the lunch box is a real treat); the bibimbop is the best I've had in the Boston area, and the scallion pancake is to die for. Keep an eye out for their maki specials (Godzilla and Shocking...awesome!). It can be a bit hectic during the summer, especially towards the end of the week, so patience (or going there prior to being murderously hungry) is advised. They are reasonably priced (haven't raised their prices in 5 years!) and a great spot for a low-key dinner. Definitely try the Mochi ice cream. Pros: great food, great smiles Cons: sometimes loud, sometimes slow/long wait more

JP needs another Sushi restaurant! 1/7/2006

As a JP resident I have seen the quality of this place decline over the years. Over time, the quality of the sushi has gone down and the prices have gone up. A lot of the sushi that I have gotten is overpriced and the portions and pieces of sushi are small. Some of the sushi tastes like it has been refrigerated and not fresh. Unfortunately, this is the only sushi place in JP and thus, unless you are willing to travel, this is the only place to get sushi. This is why there is usually a wait for a table during the weekends. The place is small and a bit cramped, tables are right next to one another (with in arms reach). And the service is average. Cons: expensive more

A Nice Neighborhood Find 7/10/2005

Located conveniently on Centre Street, JP Seafood has a huge menu, diverse in selection. From sushi to bimbibop, there is definitely something for everyone. The teriyaki dishes arrive at the table sizzling and include miso soup, rice and veggies for 12.95. The salmon looked great too. I would go back many times and try other dishes. The service is friendly if not as attentive as other restaurants, but more than adequate. Pros: location, price, friendly service more

Great for Vegetarians 1/10/2005

As a vegetarian, I've often found sushi restaurants not that great. However, this one has lots of great options for those who don't eat fish. Because this is a combination of Korean and Japanese cuisines, there is a much greater variety than most sushi restaurants. The lunch menu is a good deal -- especially the ""lunch boxes"" (also called ""bento boxes at some places). The service is friendly, polite, and prompt, and the food is very fresh and high quality. A definite ""must do"" if you're visiting Jamaica Plain -- and there's a great ice cream place next door if you're looking for dessert afterwards! Pros: Fresh fish & veggies, Vegetarian-friendly, Great lunch menu more

sushi yes please 2/7/2003

This is a hidden gem , the food is great. Fresh, tastey, and realitively inexpensive. The atmosphere is a little hip and the room is comfortable. You are greeted with a smile and treated well for the whole meal. more

The Bibimbab is very good, so is the Bul-go-ki! Order take-out if you don't feel like waiting in line for a table. Pros: Good Food, Parking near by Cons: Closed Mondays more

Super Sushi 12/10/2002

A wonderful, friendly local restaurant. THe outside makes it look like a Summer Shack or equally pain-in-the-ass fish-in-you-face restaurant. But its not. They've got a great sushi bar and a wonderful menu. I highly recommend it. Pros: Wonderful Sushi, They have sushi boats, Big Bottles of Kirin more
