"On a street famous for funk, this restaurant is like a hit of pure oxygen," raves Boston Magazine about JP Seafood Cafe, a treasure of Jamaica Plain's burgeoning dining scene. "Renowned for its "wonderfully fresh sushi" (Zagat Survey) and Korean-Japanese entrees that are "as pleasing to the eye as [they are] delicious" (The Phantom Gourmet), JP Seafood Cafe has cultivated a devoted following since its opening in the spring of 1996. Diners flock here to savor elegantly appointed sushi boats, sizzling platters of delicately seasoned fish fillets, and a delectable array of vegetarian dishes served in spirited surroundings. A gracious and attentive staff is at your service to assist in navigating the extensive menu and to recommend the perfect selection from the many varieties of sake, plum wine, Pacific Rim beer and domestic and imported wine available.  View Less View More

Really Good Sushi in JP. I had a great time at my last visit. I sat at the bar and dined alone for dinner but struck up fantastic conversation with the woman next to me, who ended up being a very interesting person. Good food and great conversation comes to mind when I visit this place. Delicious salmon and veggie sushi.

Great Food. If your looking for good sushi and good Japanese food this is the place to go. After years of trying to find "proper" Japanese food we finally found it at JP Seafood. They also serve some terrific Korean dishes like Japchae & Gyoza( and you can have that as beef or vegetable!) The maki is always fresh and yummy!!! Have even ventured into sashimi which I must say is fresh and delectable here not chewy like some other places we've been. If your a vegetarian there are plenty of choices on the menu for you & if you love fish this is better than Legal's! The staff always serve you with a smile and get the food to you nice and hot. If your in JP you have to come here to eat!

clear your sinuses. Tonight we went to JP Seafood and FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW ordered a SPICY TUNA HANDROLL where the spice was OFF THE CHARTS. NOT GOOD!!!! NOT GOOD!!! We were drooling and our mouths were ON FIRE for a good half hour. AND obviously we could not even finish it. We LOVE sushi. We love spicy hot food.....but this is unfair to customers and a bad order. DO NOT GET IT. And actually think twice about going to this restaurant. The service is awful and the ambiance is totally lacking.

Kick-ass Sushi. The Omakase here is the best!!!!!! Great friendly Sushi Chefs, and servers. I also love their grilled fish dinners and Bibimbops. A Must Try: Scallion Pancake! YUMMMMM.. It's too bad that I don't live nearby, I would come here everyday.
