Got the Maki Platter and it was delicious. Rice to filling ratio was good. Not too much rice, which I appreciated. Good variety of rolls. Service was good. It's takeout only.

I got the tuna maki rolls and they were the perfect little rolls. I don’t like when they are so fat with too much rice. These were perfect and fresh! The lady working was very sweet. No place to sit inside just takeout. Come here for sushi!

Best sushi rolls in the south end. Not too expensive either. Tuna is fresh and clean tasting, not fishy at all. Shrimp tempura is always crispy even after delivery, and the same goes for the ones in the special rolls. There is one roll with crispy onions that was a bit disappointing, but all the classic rolls are excellent.

"I have high standards for the freshness of salmon and tuna, and this establishment offers the best fresh nigiri I've found. The Snow something (?) roll was fantastic, especially with the white sauce, which was a game changer.The food was a big hit. I'll definitely be ordering again."

I recently ordered takeout from Nippon Sushi, and I was thoroughly impressed. The sushi was absolutely excellent—each piece was freshly made with the fish tasting incredibly fresh and flavorful. The rice was perfectly seasoned, and the texture was spot-on. Even though it was takeout, everything arrived in perfect condition, and the quality remained top-notch. Nippon Sushi clearly puts a lot of care into sourcing their ingredients and preparing each dish. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for high-quality, freshly made sushi to enjoy at home!

First time ever trying sushi, and it was amazing! I ordered the rainbow and orange dragon rolls via Uber Eats. Nice presentation and high quality ingredients. Forgot to take pictures; both trays were gone before I remembered to. Will definitely be trying more soon!
