Quality Japanese and Korean dishes, excellent seaweed soup and kimchi, solid sashimi and sushi, the wasabi dumplings are a treat. Affordable selection of sales and wines. We eat here regularly.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at JP Seafood Cafe, located at 730 Centre Street, JP, and it was a delightful experience. Over the past four and a half years, I've visited this restaurant on and off, and it has consistently impressed me with its quality. JP Seafood Cafe stands out for its fresh fish and outstanding sushi. Every visit reassures me that this place is a local gem. The freshness of the seafood is always remarkable, and the sushi is consistently delicious. The welcoming atmosphere adds to the overall dining experience, making it a great spot for both regular meals and special occasions. During my recent visit, our waitress, Maki, made the experience even better. She was not only friendly but also incredibly efficient, ensuring that our orders were taken and served promptly. Her warm demeanor and attentive service were greatly appreciated and contributed to a very pleasant meal. If you're in the area and enjoy fresh seafood and sushi in a relaxed, local setting, I highly recommend JP Seafood Cafe. It’s a place where you can count on having a great meal and a wonderful time.

If you want fresh sushi with a great atmosphere, this is the place to go. My waitresses were very kind and attentive, and took the time to help me and my boyfriend choose what we wanted. We both got the lunchboxes which was a great deal for how much it came with. Thank you for the great food! Will definitely be coming back.

Excellent spot for lunch. Their lunch specials are served daily, 12-4pm. The sushi lunch special was fresh and tasty with a good variety. The bulgogi box was great as well, with not only delicious beef, but an array of different sides to make for a perfect bento.

Lunch Delivery. The food was very good. Ordered the Fisherman's Platter. The dressing on the coleslaw was perfect, not too mayonnaise-y. Fish, shrimp, and scallops were very fresh and fried very nicely. Just enough to share with a lunch buddy. I am looking forward to sampling the rest of the menu in the near future. The driver did not thoroughly read that he was to come into the lobby of the building. He called me from outside. That was the only negative aspect of my experience.

JP Seafood has been around for years!! The secret, it has maintained the integrity of the quality, quantity and menu with the passage of time! This is not lost on the locals or newcomers. My favorite is the lunch menu. You can get healthy, tasty affordable selections whether it be the (preceded by Miso Soup) Bento Box or Sushi. The dinner menu (scaled down) is also available. You can dine alone or with friends, and have a view of the tropical fish tanks flush against the wall. The owners live in the neighborhood and that may also have a bearing. The sense of loyalty and responsibility to the community! I've seen many other restaurants come and go in the Neighborhood, yet JP Seafood has stood the test of time! The Bonus, Everything is so pleasing to the Eyes and that's where the introduction to any meal begins!

Amazing, consistent quality sushi and asian fare that has made this place one of my most popular takeout joints, and dine in spaces in all of JP if not Boston. I order wayyy too much sushi from here on a near weekly basis and it is never a regrettable decision. The staff are clearly passionate about what they do and never seem to sweat the inevitable weekend rushes. Not sure what I'd do without JP seafood, 5 out of 5!
