Customer Reviews
I've been to Roy's fish market twice now and cannot wait to return. It's a small, hole in the wall type place that only sells sushi/sashimi for take out. Be sure to order ahead of time! There is always about a 2 hour wait, especially around dinner times, regardless of day of the week. I usually call ahead many hours in advance. Both times, I got the Roy's special combination set which comes out to about $39 with tax. They do take card but I always pay in cash. The sashimi slices are thick and decadent, truly "melt in your mouth". The sushi rice is well cooked and seasoned. I think for how much you are paying, you get really good restaurant quality sushi. I can't wait to go back again!
This was my second time at this place, first time successfully getting food, after calling ahead of time. The first time I was here, when I tried to ordered, I was gruffly asked, "did you order in advance?" then told that if I ordered then, I wouldn't get it for 2 hours, so I left hungry. This time I knew better and ordered hours in advance. The food was ready at the time that I had told them, and it was pretty good. The quality is good - nothing that blew me away; but at this price point, it's worth it. It's pretty out of the way, so I probably wouldn't get it too frequently; but would definitely come back, if I'm in the area. I do wish that they had some sort of all-salmon combo, though!
I got if recommended by a friend since she knows I love sushi but my problem was that the freshest sushi would always cost an arm and a leg, but this spot is the best of both worlds! I called about 2 hours in advance for pick up for a sashimi and sushi combo and as soon as I got there, I got it and the owner was the sweetest. This is a real gem and is about to become a weekly guilty pleasure of mine
5/5 Sushi and Sashimi Set ($26) -- great bang for your buck! Quality nigiri and sashimi pieces were very generously sliced! Only wished there was counter seating to enjoy indoors! ______ 4.5/5 Roy's Special A Set ($19.5): superb quality fish, especially loved the salmon nigiri pieces! Only -0.5stars as other reviewers alluded to, it is a bit pricey for the serving size. I do think the sashimi platter looks like better value, so I will be sure to order that next time
The best sushi I have had in a long time. I would have never known to stop in here had someone not mentioned it at a meeting today. I ordered the Roys special and California Roll. I called it in at 4pm and was lucky to be able to pick it up same day at 7:30pm. A lot of love and precision goes into this no frills fish market with a hidden gem - very fresh sushi spot! Roy himself is there working and is highly respected by all the patrons that came in. Order ahead and it’ll be a breeze for pick up.
