Sushi Time

A perfect place to get a few quick rolls, they are delicious and very decently priced :)

I can’t remember having better sushi from a plastic take-​out box, let alone in a food court. I ordered a tako roll (octopus) and a Boston roll. Both were good, and prepared within a few minutes.

Sushi Time has saved me so many times from having to make a thoughtful choice about what to eat for lunch. When it comes to food, I am incredibly lazy and it is only by sheer luck that I have not died from the nonperishable things I have ingested since my early twenties.
Sushi Time is inside the Corner Mall food court, a place that resembles a food court if the zombie apocalypse had happened back in 1999, but we managed to get our shit together sort of, so now things look like they’re from the ‘70s a little bit, but the people are emaciated and still skeptical as to whether the other patrons MIGHT be infected, even though we wiped out the zombie virus DEFINITIVELY in ’08, but you know you can never be sure.
What’s amazing about Sushi Time is that they have the cutlery down to a science. I think I’ve spent about as much as it costs to buy a Tesla Roadster there (okay, maybe a little less), and every single time when I order the $ 6.95 sushi box with a $ 2 cup of fruit and a $ 2 Snapple I get exactly 2 packets of soy sauce, a pair of chopsticks wrapped in a napkin, a single plastic spoon, and a little plastic tray for the soy sauce. This enables me to eat my sushi anywhere I want: in my office, on top of a dumpster, in the middle of the street, in a free-​fall from an airplane, etc.
I’m not being facetious here. The people who run Sushi Time are nice to me, and they work hard. Definitely harder than I do these days, and definitely harder than you do. The sushi is okay. Not good, not bad, just okay. I mean, they have to make a lot of it and given the kind of zombie-​fearing patrons they have to deal with, it makes sense. You can also sit at the sushi bar and order sushi that their chefs will make right in front of you. They have soups and things, and there’s a menu of stuff they will make you right there. I’ve never done that because it sounds like a lot of work for me, so I usually get my plastic bag with a smiley face on it and go.
I also get a doughnut from Dunkin Doughnuts, which is 2 meters from Sushi Time.

Is this your website? Because it says «fresh sushi» and what I got today is loaded with preservatives.

I’m a pretty big sushi fan and have probably tried every sushi place in the greater Boston area. While Sushi Time is not the best sushi that I’ve had, I do think this place is somewhat of a small gem in the downtown Boston area. Great place to drop in for lunch and get a quick sushi fix.
It’s located in the Corner of the foodcourt so it might be a little bit difficult to find. The sushi is nothing remarkable but for the price, it’s definitely meats expectations. They’ve got a pretty basic selection of sushi and you can order the standard rolls you see at most sushi places. I like sitting at the bar and eating there rather than pick up the already made sushi.
Most of the different rolls I’ve had there have been quite good. Spicy tuna and spicy salmon have not disappointed me, as is the case with the hand rolls. Would recommend everyone try the baby octopus which is lightly seasoned with sesame as an appetizer order. Definitely an experience to have.
One thing customers should note. When they ask you if you’d like water, this doesn’t mean tap water, it means bottle water that they will charge for. Just wanting to give others a warning and not making the mistake I did!

I work in the area and this place has been my favorite lunch spot for a long time. Im very skeptical about the food court places food-​but this one is an exception! Always fresh rolls, sashimi, salads. Very welcoming friendly stuff. Being a regular at many different sushi spots in Boston I still consider the food from here as my favorite. Very affordable too.

Surprisingly good for the Corner Mall (which in general is a terrible place to eat). Sushi is good, but a lil pricey. If you do get sushi from here though, eat it somewhere else besides the food court, which reeks of fast food and homeless people, and has a general grimy feel to it.

I’ve been craving a quick option for sushi on my lunch break, and found Sushi Time through Unilocal.Intrigued by the great reviews, I stopped in – and I definitely wasn’t disappointed.
The service is quick (you can buy sushi pre-​made in the case or order something fresh), everything tastes fresh, and the price is great. You can easily get a lot of food for less than $ 10. This has become a weekly lunch stop for me. You’d really never expect a decent sushi joint to be in that sketchy little food court in Downtown Crossing, but I’d definitely recommend stopping in if you’re hungry and in the area.
Also: one reviewer mentioned this place is cash only, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. I’ve used my card here.

Not a bad place. I enjoyed the shrimp california roll. However, the spicy tuna roll was extremely mushy… it tasted perfectly fine, but I had a hard time getting over the texture. I will go to Avana in Chinatown the next time I need a fix.

Amazing bang for your buck! Great flavors and fresh fish.
I was SHOCKED the sushi was so good in this low key food court.
The only reason I’m not giving all 5 stars is because the fancier rolls lack execution a little and they don’t do enough volume to keep some of the more unique items on the menu in stock like sea urchin (and I would probably be too chicken to order them here anyways).

This is my go-​to sushi place! I love the expensive spots like fugakyu but for something quick, this place is awesome. I’ve been coming here since 2002 and have never been disappointed. Make sure you have cash! no cards!

After reading all the interesting reviews on Sushi Time I decided I had to check it out. I stopped in around 1pm on a Thursday afternoon, they were busy but not slammed. Although they have rolls ready to go, I decided to order two rolls for spcial order… a tuna avo and a eel roll. I watched the chef work his magic and, voila! Lunch is served. The 2 eight piece rolls cost $ 10.75. a great deal if you ask me! the food was fresh and delicious! So if you’re in DT Crossing area and are feeling adventurous, roll into the scary mini mall on Washington St and order up!

Good sushi ain’t cheap and cheap sushi ain’t…well, actually it’s not completely terrible. C’mon, you can’t be expecting gourmet sushi here. It’s fast, cheap, and serves to momentarily satisfy a bit of your sushi craving considering Boston is Ericsson lacking in choices.
Tuesdays and Thursdays they have shrimp tempura rolls. And if you like crazy sauces doused on your sushi, try the scallop roll. Unagi is actually broiled here and not soggy. Miso soup has plenty of seaweed and tofu pieces. Baby octopus is very well marinated. Seaweed salad is a bit too sour.
Service is fast and polite. I once left too soon and forgot I had one more roll coming. The waitress actually ran all the way out the door to give it to me to-​go.
This is fast sushi, and there’s nothing about this place that tries to hide it.

I went here for lunch during the week and I thought it was pretty good for the price. They could have put a little more tuna in the spicy tuna roll, and imitation shrimp in my california, but I accepted it for what it is, food court sushi. The miso soup, however was definately a fav, and the serving was pretty large. I would come back here for lunch during the week, but not on the weekends! I went here for dinner late on Sunday before they were closing for the night, and the sushi tasted worst than shaws. like it had been refridgerated for days. I learned my lesson, just come during prime time and get it fresh. I’ll be back ;)

8 rolls, miso soup and a diet coke for 8 bucks? Hell yes. I have been coming here since college and I admit I was a bit sketched out by the fact that there is a full service sushi bar in the retro mall food court that’s not actually in a mall. However you can’t beat the prices, and the food is actually pretty good. Bonus — you’re close enough to Dunkin for free wi-​fi without having to get accosted by a bum for spare change.

Great sushi for the food court. I went there one day and ordered at the counter before I saw that they had a display on the side of the shop where you can buy premade sushi for cheap. Due to the limited hours, I did not have much of a chance to get more sushi during my business trip, which I do regret. Fish is fresh, flavor is great, service is eh, though the eh service is worth the good sushi.

I used to work in at Weight Watchers when they had a location on Winter Street, and would find myself in Downtown Crossing at dinner time, searching for a place to go for a healthy dinner.
Sushi Time in the Corner Mall became my go to dinner place.
Their salmon and avocado rolls are delicious and fresh. The staff is quick to take your order and get you on your way, since they’re used to feeding rushing people on break from their jobs.
If they don’t have what you’re looking for in their display case already made up, ask and they will gladly make some new maki for you.
The prices are reasonable (only $ 10 for 12 maki rolls). The only draw back to Sushi Time is that they’re cash only, so plan ahead if you only carry plastic in your wallet.

5 stars for something that ISN’T on the menu, but everybody should try at least once in their lives… multiple times…? ($ 10.85) I think.
Spicy chopped tuna/​salmon over rice. It is a big bowl of sushi rice with chopped spicy tuna or salmon with sesame seeds, scallions, and a mayonnaise drizzled over it.
I got people that never ate raw food hooked on this dish. Believe it!

So. Effing. Good.
I hate the Corner Mall. HATE. So when I was told that the best sushi in DTX could be found within I was skeptical but Unilocal seemed to agree. Hmm
On my first visit I tried a few pre-​made item. Veggie California, avocado roll, and miso soup. My companion ordered a Philadelphia roll and shrimp maki. We had a TON of food and all was delicious. The miso soup is super good and balances the salty miso out well. All rolls were delicious but the stand out was the Philadelphia roll. So yummy.
Since then I have been back three times and every time I have been pleased. Even though this is in the Corner Mall and every time I go in I feel like I die a little I love this little place. It absolutely blows Samurai Eatery out of the water on price and value.
Risk the panic attack and add this to your lunch rotation.

LOVE IT!
Otherwise known as «that sushi place in the food court at Downtown Crossing», Sushi Time is ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD.
I have been to much nicer, much more expensive places, and not been as HAPPY as I am each time I eat here. It’s actually one of my favorite spots, especially if I’m by myself and just want some really good sushi. They also have take-​out.
Don’t let the fact that they’re in a food court fool you– if you don’t get one of the pre-​packaged specials, they’re not all that cheap. However, they won’t break you, you can watch the chef fix your fish, and again, it’s REALLY, REALLY GOOD. I usually have salmon, tuna, and red snapper nigiri with some type of roll.
