Maluken and Sushi Express — Restaurant in Brookline

sushi express is where I go want I don't want to mess around with my dinner. The fish has been fresh the last six or seven times I've been and I don't think i've ever waited longer than 15 minutes. The tables are like bar tables(kind of high) and only sit 3 people, 4 if you squeeze, but people move through quick. If you're looking for a place that has a lot of fancy rolls or a quiet romantically lit atmosphere then your probably in the wrong spot. However, if you don't mind choosing from only a dozen or so fancy rolls (plus all the standard ones) or you've been dating that special someone for a while than this is your place to go. I've had rolls twice as expensive 7-8 dollars for a regular maki roll compared to 3-4 at sushi express at other places that didn't measure up. I'm thinking Sushi express is one of the few tasty affordable sushi places...

Not a sushi place I would go again. Ordered takeout, only 30min.s elapsed from placing order, pick up, to having the food, but the tempura in one of the rolls was very cold and greasy, it’s likely been fried and let sit for hours without anything done before serving it, also the batter’s not the right consistency; on top of that the avocado’s greenish-brown already. On the other roll, the description had a focus on scallops but on the actual roll there’re very few strips of the scallop and pile high of imitation crab meat. The rice on both rolls are quite mushy than well separated. Only good one was the tofu salad where the lettuce’s crisp and fresh. Overall not a good experience, but the lady on the phone taking the order’s very nice...

I did not eat the food. I never got a chance. This is because of the poor customer service.

On March 2, 2021, I ordered delivery through ChowNow. I was called by the restaurant and asked if I could come and pick up my order instead because it was too far away (about 3 miles).

I asked the lady to cancel the order if it couldn't be delivered due to me being at work and not being able to leave. She told me I needed to go through ChowNow to cancel.

I questioned the lady about my delivery not being within range--pressing to know if it was a matter of them simply not wanting to bring it to me. She laughed and said, "Yes, more convenient for me and more convenient for you."

I let her know that she lost a customer forever and ended the...
