“Genuinely don’t understand why this place is empty save for my family when we come in - The waiters are attentive, and the food and milk tea are both spectacular. They offer a lot more options than most sushi restaurants as well! Seems like a really lovely family business and I would definitely recommend.“

“This well-known gem is worth the wait and will give one an experience rarely found in Greater Boston.
The dishes are unique, tasty, and well prepared. You need to have your entire present to be seated and they do not take reservations as there are few tables. The larger group I saw about six people. It's not a large place and has a very minimalist feel with the decor.“

The gentleman in the register is so sweet and made great suggestions. Such a nice atmosphere. Food taste so fresh, and yummy.
They don’t disappoint!!“

“Must-try the sashimi here!! We ordered the Sakura box with miso soup, sushi, sashimi, scallops, octopus, and crabmeat salad for 2 people. The fish was so fresh with a variety of different kinds which makes it fun to try!! They also have bento boxes, rolls, and ramen. I love the cozy atmosphere here and friendly staffs that highlighted our experience“

“This is my favorite sushi place, bar none. The food is a great value given the quantity and quality, and the customer service couldn't be better. They recognize me when I come to pick up lunch despite only going about once a month, and the staff is always so friendly. I recommend it to all my coworkers, and always look forward to my lunches from there.“

“This has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for a decade. It’s convenient, fast, and immaculate. The sushi is made right in front of you and has always been fresh and delicious. I’ve gone there on date night and I’ve had office parties there and it’s always been awesome. As good as the food is, the staff is better. Especially Tiffany who does everything here including cooking, taking orders, bartending, and making everyone feel like their family. The first time I went there she waited on our table. 6 months later I came back for the second time. She it only remembered my name, she also remembered every dish we’d ordered the first time. I wish I could give Tiffany and Sei Bar 10 stars.“

“The best sushi restaurant in the North Shore, bar none! The owners are so friendly and inviting! Food is as fresh as it gets. Please support small businesses like this one! They truly deserve all the praise for their amazing service and high quality sushi“

“The best takeout restaurant for sushi and Chinese food in Melrose!“

“got takeout, went home and egg foo yong had no gravy on it. Called them up and told them about that. Not even two minutes later the woman called back and stated that's the way they make it! I have had this numerous times and there was always brown gravy on it and in container! She was very argumentative. For that reason , we will not be going back! DO BETTER!“

“Do not expect something fancy here but delicious sushi and reasonable price. Clean. Attentive staff, they know exactly what they are doing. All you can eat deal was great. No parking lot but easy to find a street parking. Would definitely return when in town.

Update review

The previous review was in 2021. And I have still been Nijiya’s regular…. until recently. Sushi buffet is very challenging concept between quality and the price. If the quality meets the price, then customers repeat visits. I appreciate Nijiya every visit and do not intend to leave a bad review. However, upon recent visits, the fishes were cut as if they were ready to throw into a pond to feed other fishes. They were plated carelessly. I lost my appetite before even touching the food. I visit less often and it’s been five months since.“

“I loved the beef tataki and spring roll!! I will definitely be going back!“

“Great food for a great price. Everything from the sushi to the ramen was spot on. Staff were super friendly we will definitely be coming back.“

“As someone who has had the privilege of dining at some extraordinary Chinese and Japanese restaurants around the world, from Hong Kong to Tokyo to Manhattan, I can say without hesitation that this is the finest Chinese and Japanese food in all of Massachusetts. The ingredients are exceptional, the preparation is thoughtful, and the consistency is remarkable. Restaurants like this are rare.

We even brought our chef Tracy here one evening. She’s worked in several Michelin-starred kitchens and spent years cooking in private estates and luxury hotels. And she was completely blown away. She kept commenting on the quality of the fish and the balance of the dishes, which says a lot coming from someone who cooks professionally at that level.“

“As always an excellent meal! Mike makes great sushi, and kitchen chefs do great things as well. Its one of our regular places.“

“This was my first time here and it was so good! My family and i were visiting from New jersey and would recommend 100% since it’s an all you can eat i would come on an empty stomach :) i forgot to take pictures but Try the Godzilla Roll and Boston Bruins Role 10/10“

“I really like this place. Good service and fast. The food is always fresh. I do the hibachi and get either filet mignon, New York Strip, or teriyaki chicken. The fried rice is awesome and I've never been disappointed with anything I order. Portions are good I'm always stuffed walking out. Also, their fried ice cream is bomb.“
