Seafood Cafe The sushi is so delicious. I came here with a friend and we shared a platter. It was so worth it. In addition, the servers are great, and the prices are very reasonable. This place is very clean and many people come to dine. Posted 10/30/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

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. Posted 09/13/08 good healthy food By kathyp11011 one of the few places that delivers in jp...pretty good sushi and some korean food. usually get take-out or delivery, but their lunch specials are great for eating at the restaurant. friendly staff... Posted 12/19/07 Have I become more discriminating, or have they just stopped trying? By weeblackscottie Oh how I used to love this place!!! But, geez....now that I'm a local and can't resist its convenience (location, location, location) I find that the food just isn't that great. In particular I'm referring to the maki/sushi....often the rice seems overly sour and always too firm (sitting too long is my best guess). In addition I've yet to order a "shrimp maki" where the shrimp feels fresh...always the tempura is chewy and cool (as opposed to hot and crunchy. In short, I think it would be great if J P Seafood had some local competition.....I'd love to love the place again!!! Pros: Super nice staff, they deliver....very gay friendly! Cons: Stale maki Posted 10/11/06 Everyone knows your name + great food By dawneliz 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 Posted 07/13/06 JP needs another Sushi restaurant! By meredith4444 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 Posted 01/06/06
