Ever since I got unadon (eel on rice) from a Japanese fast food joint at Narita Airport, I've been chasing the legendary eel-induced high from that day. I'm not looking for much, just a solid eel bowl that reminds me of the cheapest food money can buy you in Japan. It makes me sad that Boston's Japanese restaurants have been bested on the eel front by a Yoshinoya bowl that cost me like $3. But no longer!Sushi Time has an unadon that tastes just like how I remember it from Japan, if not a tiny bit less hot (I'm okay if my tongue is not burned to an authentic Japanese standard). They go heavy with the teriyaki sauce, and it soaks into the rice just right. The eel pieces aren't as big as Yoshinoya (they're sushi-sized), but they taste great and I haven't found a restaurant in Boston which serves large eel pieces, so I won't complain.Now that I am done professing my love for eel... the rest of the restaurant. It's take-out only, and they finish orders pretty quickly. The menu is big, so sometimes ordering can be a bit confusing, but the cashiers are very friendly. Warm dishes are still warm when they come out, which is a big win for Sushi Time. The food is way better than I expected for a food court, and the prices are fantastic. They close at 5pm though, which is an absolute shame!For the price point, large menu, convenience, and excellent food quality (I have had worse sushi at twice the cost), I give 5 stars. It's not gourmet by any means, but Sushi Time will not let you down. Godspeed, Sushi Time.

Located in a timeworn mall of Downtown Crossing, Sushi Time may initially be overlooked. Yet, it's a good haunt for any sushi enthusiast looking for a quick but delicious fix.Craving for some sushi burrito, I recently got a takeout from this place. The value of spicy salmon sushi burrito was immediately apparent – the amount of salmon generously loaded in the burrito was quite impressive, considering the price. Every bite was filled with layers of good flavors, which included avocado, crunchy pickled cucumber, fresh lettuce, and masago. Embellished with spicy tuna, masago, a scattering of tempura crunch, and spicy chili sauce, the Crazy maki was also quite good. It delivered quality on par with typical sit-down sushi venues in the neighborhood, surpassing my expectations.On the other hand, the curry shrimp tempura don was a bit of a letdown. It fell short in depth and complexity compared to the other offerings. The curry was underwhelming, and the tempura lacked crispiness. An average dish, but not something I’d actively steer clear of.Overall, Sushi Time exceeded my initial expectations. It's not gourmet dining, but it's a lovely spot to satisfy your sushi cravings without breaking the bank. Despite a few minor misses, the hits certainly make Sushi Time a worthy dining destination.

really friendly and welcoming staff. amazing food at a cheap price point. i got the teriyaki tofu on rice and the mini veggie spring rolls. all the food was piping hot, succulent, and delicious. i asked to borrow an outlet they offered me their phone charger because my phone was dead. not really sure why they are called sushi time because sushi is only a small part of their menu. the place is easy to miss but i recommend stopping by!

Honestly super yummy: great flavor and huge portions with diverse options. Lunch Bento box is the most worth it since it comes with various sides. In terms of flavor and quality, it's definitely a five star rating and it would've been a 5-star overall except I found some hair in the rice and promptly lost my appetite. Really unfortunate.

Katsu don curry bento box was DELICIOUS -hot, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy. They allowed me to substitute spicy salmon for California roll, too! Highly recommend.
Best take out sushi around! So fresh and so so good! The rolls are to die for! Just sad that they close at 5:30 otherwise I would have it for dinner every night

2 orders were missing, the portions are small, and staff is rude. Terrible customer service. They did not want to refund me even though 2 orders were missing.
