Nijiya Sushi - Medford

The sushi here is very good, and it's reasonably priced for an all-you-can-eat sushi place, but every once in a while the fish looks a little dried like it might not be as fresh as it could be. Still recommend if you have a big appetite for sushi!

This fantastic Mainstay in downtown Medford is one of our favorite spots for affordable and delightful sushi. The staff is attentive and charming, and the food is expertly prepared, from eel to surf clams. It's simple yet absolutely top-notch.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The sushi was enjoyable, featuring a wide variety of options. The salmon sashimi was a bit inconsistent; when it was fresh, it was excellent, but at times it could be a bit on the cold side. Their special makis were generally quite tasty. The appetizers were nicely portioned, ensuring you don’t overeat. The service was also quite good, although we did have to wait a while for our food to arrive, but it was definitely worth it. I would absolutely return here again!

1. There's more food than you can handle! I haven’t left a restaurant feeling this stuffed in a long time. 2. This is the first time I've been to a Japanese/Chinese restaurant where every seat was filled—clearly a local favorite! 3. The chef’s special maki rolls are a must-try; the chef doesn’t cut corners just because it’s a buffet. 4. The sashimi was a bit hit-or-miss. The tuna wasn't as fresh as I had hoped, but considering the price of $26.99 per person, expectations should be tempered. However, the salmon, yellowtail, and red snapper were great! 5. While green tea ice cream is a staple in Japanese restaurants, red bean ice cream? Now that’s an exceptional treat. It was delicious! Overall, I’d rate this buffet 4.6 stars. Definitely give it a try!

This restaurant is similar to Yamato in downtown Boston, but the sushi here is tastier and the salmon is fresher (and more affordable). If you're looking for a wider selection and ice cream, be sure to come for dinner or be prepared to pay the dinner price.
