Nijiya Sushi

Good AYCE sushi restaurants are hard to come by in the Greater Boston Area and this is one of them! Came here on a Monday night and it was surprisingly packed when we got there at 7pm but only had to wait for 10 minutes. We were then quickly seated and handed our paper slips to fill out our order. What I like about this spot are all their options offered for dinner, specifically all the specialty maki rolls! (Which is what makes this place stand out). They're also all yummy and decent quality with a wide variety! While the quality of the sashimi is just okay, I would come here specifically for the specialty rolls and wide variety.

The food was great. The portions were big. My husband and I ordered from "all you can eat menu" and it was enough for two of us. We were able to finish everything. We also got crab salad and it was nice. My favorite was "Snow Mountain Maki." The atmosphere is good, not noisy. The servers are nice. For dessert, I had green tea ice cream and it was delicious. You have to be super hungry to go there because that way you can try many different maki.

I've been here two separate times over the past few months and had a pretty solid experience both times. It's a pretty standard AYCE experience - you order by tallying items from a paper menu and the food comes out pretty quickly after submitting your selections. Water was refilled at a decent rate, albeit we had to ask a few times for it during both visits.The place felt decently clean and it was pretty busy both times so I would say it's pretty popular. The fish was very solid on terms of quality and the quantity of each order was standard - no skimping or stuffing rice either which is a common issue for most all you can eat spots. Overall, solid buffet choice for Medford and I definitely wouldn't hesitate to come back in the future. Service could've been better, but you're not going for amazing wait staff or a super friendly, amazing experience - just good and plentiful sushi.

Came for a friend's birthday with a reservation for twelve on a Friday night. You're given slips of paper to tally what you want. We ordered in groups of four to split the food easier. The sushi came out in a timely manner and tasted fresh. The amount of rice was just right as well. We also got ice cream at the end, which was a good refresher after stuffing ourselves with fish.We ended up being asked to leave after we hung around after paying, as another large group was waiting, which is totally understandable. There's street parking in the area, and we were lucky enough to snag a spot right in front og the restaurant. Overall, a good place for a special occasion, or if you just want to eat a lot of sushi.

Came with a friend and it was around 40 a person for the dinner pricing and every dollar is well spent! You can get full dishes (noodles, steak, seared salmon, etc.) on top of appetizers (takoyaki, calamari, etc.) on top of the normal sushi and sashimi, and there is dessert included as well. The fish is all good and the staff are attentive with bringing out the food. They did, at the beginning, bring us our orders with some of the sashimi missing, but quickly brought out more when we requested. I wanted to try out some of the options outside of sushi, the takoyaki is mediocre and the steak bad. But the sushi (the main point of going :p) is yummy. Be aware though -- you will have to finish your sushi before they bring you the bill to pay as they charge for leftover sushi!

This is my typical go-to spot when it comes to AYCE sushi in the Boston area - especially with how their servers and staff are all friendly, and they've got a pretty good fish-to-rice ratio compared to some of the other spots I've been to. Plus, they've got more of an old-school restaurant interior - which can be nice if you enjoy somewhat of a nostalgic vibe. As it's located right in a corner of Medford center, there's plenty of metered parking - so finding a spot usually isn't bad. Definitely coming back for more!

Great service, always promptly seated, and really fresh sushi. They have a great assortment of all you can eat at an affordable price as well as a full menu if you wanted something else. Wonderful place to take friends, family or a date.

Greatest quality for value! Better than Yamato I think, there's less rice per roll and fish feels fresher / the space feels less chaotic and cleaner. Rolls were bountifully filled, except for the eel rolls, which is my favorite. Last time I cake I remember loving the Nijiya maki as there was crab on top but I think it changed to escolar.

Came here for their AYCE sushi lunch. There's limited items unless you want to pay the dinner price. All the items came out in reasonable portions, but it can be hard to try lots of different items unless you come with multiple people. The service was good and quick and the price for weekend AYCE lunch is great.

Not bad for ayce sushi. In terms of ranking of other ayce sushi places, I'd say this is not as good as Maki Maki, but about the same as Yamato I/Yamato II. $28 for lunch that doesn't include special rolls or sashimi. Service wasn't the greatest. They didn't give us the right amount of nigiri we ordered and there were long delays in our plates coming out. Food was not super freshly made either - some of the tempura was soggy in the rolls. However, I will say that the white tuna sushi was good. Would recommend. Interior of the place seems a little old and it was a bit humid inside. We had arrived right when the restaurant opened so I wonder if they hadn't had the air on long enough for the place to cool down a bit.Plenty of street parking around that area, but no parking lot.
