sushi corner

a dumpling of a restaurant. i have heard good things of this spot ever since it opened. but tonight is the first time i tried it. it was a cold dark winter night and when i opened the door here was this warm little spot it made we want to stay- i was getting to go -. the nabeyaki udon was excellent and i really like the smokey bonito they use it adds a depth to the dish. i can't wait to return to the little -sits 3 - sushi bar and have at it.
highly recommended!

i don't get it with this place. the rating suggests it would be good but i have been here on several occasions and i think not. between the service, or lack thereof, and the mediocrity of the food i don't know how this place stays in business. perhaps it's because it is the only sushi restaurant in melrose. but i've been to several nearby sushi places in neighboring towns and the quality of the food and the service are significantly better. if you are looking for good sushi i suggest you drive an extra 2 or 3 miles and you'll have better luck.

it's tiny, shabby and tucked in an alley next to a drug store and a supermarket. but the sushi is incredible and the chef is awesome. i can't say enough good things about this place.

great food. have been eating there since they opened and have never been disappointed

i couldn't agree more! as a recent melrose resident, i've only been about 6 times in my short time in the area. food & service is always great! plus, byob, how can you go wrong? highly reccommended !

unbeatable in every way. i have been going to sushi corner for years. it's mostly known through word of mouth and believe me, i am the biggest advertiser for it, so much so, that the owner has even recognized my efforts. it's small but cute and cozy.
price = cheap, sushi = fresh and big, byob, where they even heat up your sake = total savings, variety = plenty. i could go on all day. they also give free bottomless hot tea, so it's easy to warm up.
recommended items: besides everything of course!
house salad- lettuce, carrots, cukes, tomatoes, tons of avocado, tempura flakes, sesame seeds, a dollop of mayo, a piece of shrimp and crabstick, and the best ginger dressing in the world (i promise) which he makes from scratch with 30 different ingredients and spices, i asked, lol
scallop tempura roll; summer maki- tempura fried sweet potato roll topped with spicy baked crabmeat, yummy; shrimp shumai ( tons of flavor jammed packed in a delicious little bundle). fried gyoza (fried perfectly everytime), tempura appetizer (light and delicious). salmon sashimi (fresh and melts in your mouth).
this will be the best sushi you'll ever have, and i've been to plenty of them, including the fancy shmancy places, and nothing tops the sushi corner!
