J.p. Seafood Cafe - Boston

The miso soup here is absolutely the best you can find. However, the service is consistently slow, so we usually opt for takeout. It's hard to understand why the owners don't pay more attention to their year-round customers.

It's unfortunate, but this restaurant seems to be declining. I've been very disappointed with the meals during my last few visits. The salmon was fatty, and the rice was cold. Overall, the quality of the salmon has significantly dropped...

I ordered the Chirashi for lunch, and unfortunately, it wasn't fresh. It tasted like it had been prepared earlier and stored in the fridge. The house salad was decent, though.

I ordered the Salmon Bibimbap, which arrived sizzling in a hot Dolsot. The salmon was perfectly cooked (I anticipated it might be overdone given how hot everything was, but it wasn’t at all), and the arrangement of vegetables, especially the mushrooms, tasted fantastic. Just like the pancake, the portion was substantial—probably enough to share between two people if you include an appetizer. The Beef Bulgogi was also very flavorful. It arrived hot and continued to sizzle on the plate, giving the beef a beautifully crisp texture. The sauce was delicious as well, a bit sweet, but bursting with flavor. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning!

Great service and a peaceful atmosphere. The food was excellent, and the sake—served hot or cold—was delicious! The only downside was the flies, which were a bit distracting as they were buzzing around the walls and artwork. It got worse when you were trying to eat. Despite that, everything else was wonderful, and I might return to the bar area. They also had another section that seemed to be catering to larger groups.
