Chubby Nori | Sushi & Handroll Bar

The 16 Best Japanese Restaurants In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"The name says it all. This walk-in-only Chinatown spot serves the biggest hand rolls in the city. Located upstairs at Chubby Cattle, you’ll find a stylish, wooden sushi counter and a dining room full of booths where friends try to make the impossible choice between 24 hand rolls on the menu and which sake to pair them with (we suggest the sweet miso butter cod and the floral house sake). If you can, grab a seat at the chef’s counter to watch wagyu get torched, spicy mayo zig-zagged over fresh scallops, and to cut down the travel time between these seaweed-wrapped beauties leaving the chef’s hands and reaching your mouth." - candis mclean, alison kessler
