Fat Salmon Sushi

Most amazing selection of vegetarian sushi and all were great. Wish had more lighting but vibe was cool nonetheless. Highly recommend. Service was good also. The Sake flight was little too fruity for me

The food was delicious and there were plenty of options. Great staff and a cute vibe!

We went for an early dinner, and I was excited because this used to be one of my favorite sushi restaurants in the city. Since it was early we were one of three tables in the restaurant. The service was incredibly sub par, it took so long to just get refills on water and to have our food served. It looked like the priority for the staff was to get drinks served from the bar. The sushi was not at all as good as it used to be, I got the fat salmon, double down and shrimp tempura- all of which were highly recommended. None were great, expensive for what they were, and honestly I have had much better sushi at other less known restaurants.

Came here with my friends and boy this place had some outstanding sushi! I would totally recommend Mr.French Kiss and Double Down from the signature rolls menu. They were delicious!! Along with the signature rolls, we also ordered some regular rolls including shrimp tempura, philly and spicy scallops and they were all just great! We also ordered a cold sake from their drinks menu and the price point for all was very reasonable for the quality. Definitely recommend Fat Salmon Sushi if you are craving for some good quality sushi!

This place was our favorite sushi place. We were there twice this week, and each time, the portions were smaller and smaller. I order the spicy salmon sandwiches each time. This evening, I got thin finger size portions. I'm very disappointed and not sure i will return.

I mean truly this is the best sushi spot in Philly for many reasons. One, the staff is super nice. Two, the food is so incredibly fresh and always on point. Three, it's at a part of city that's a little less chaotic, so you can usually find a paid parking spot nearby. Love Fat Salmon, I would highly recommend!

My go-to place for some sushi rolls in downtown philly. Inside of the restaurant was clean and modern. A very upscale decor and relaxing ambiance. Good amount of seating inside, but definitely make a reservation especially during the weekend dinner service. I ordered a variety of different rolls and every single one of them was delicious. Plating was beautiful and a good portion. I really enjoyed the spicy tuna sandwich, fat salmon, and sea breeze. They also have an extensive drink menu and appetizers. Definitely order green tea tempura ice cream as a dessert. Literally melts in your mouth! So good. Servers were super friendly and attentive. Only downside was the parking issue. I highly recommend this place for some proper sushi!

our server tori was amazing!!! she had great recommendations, the caulmiflower is so good! everything we ordered was delicious and i would recommend this place to anyone. thank you tori and staff!

Absolutely delicious sushi, sashimi, signature rolls, and salads. Fish is always the freshest. Friendly, helpful staff. And, after dinner, take a walk through Washington Square! My favorite sushi restaurant.

Overall: Will I be back? YES!! this restaurant EXCEEDED my sashimi quality expectations! Especially if u don't want to drop a bag for good quality sushi in Philly. Chirashi bowl sashimi was cut so thick (literally fat salmon), rolls were delicious and big piece of fish inside, regular bar (no speciality drinks unfortunately). Service was excellent and the ambiance was nice, a little dim for a cute date night and not loud at all. Ordered: 5/5 chirashi bowl: THIC AND I mean THICCCC pieces of fish. Quality was also superb. Also beware of spicy wasabi 4/5 sushi sashimi for 1: Alaskan roll was delicious and nigiris were yummy and fresh Wine and one small carafe of sake

Didn't know what the inside of the restaurant was going to look like but I was pleasantly surprised! Such a cute ambiance perfect for date nights or girls night. The staff were all really nice as well. I made a reservation for friday at 5, but only 2 other people were there (and no one came after) so it felt silly of them to ask if I had made a rez but whatever. I ordered: Crispy rice with spicy tuna: (5/5!!) Creamy delicious tuna Beef gyoza: (1/5) Won't order again, frozen, eh-tasting gyoza and they're so tiny it's not worth it Spicy tuna roll: (5/5) So good the tuna here is exceptional Dragon roll: (2/5) This has eel in it which I typically love but some pieces tasted fishy which put me off Sushi for 1 Deal: (5/5) "Best tuna i've ever had" "Salmon nigiri was good but not the best i've ever had" "Yellowtail was eh" "Alaskan roll was great" - would probably just order the alaskan roll and tuna nigiri if i came again Side note for the business: The music was pretty annoying to both of us, maybe with more people it drowns out the noise but it was annoying rhythmic music and it just didn't match the vibe that much. Overall it was really good and i'd recommend it if you really like tuna rolls/nigiri!

Fat salmon is always a Philly staple for me. The sushi is so good with all the unique flavors

Not bad but keep in mind that if you want anything other than their many kinds of signature rolls, I'd check out somewhere else. The menu has the usual appetizers of gyoza, edamame, age-tofu, but in terms of sushi, it's the signature rolls and some nigiri. I'm more of a purist when it comes to sushi, meaning just give me the fish and the rice, and don't love sauces like eel sauce or spicy mayo when there's too much of it and overwhelms everything. Which Fat Salmon uses in abundance. It's hard to see from my photo but basically, with the exception of the nigiri and one of the rolls, the other sushi was drenched in sweet soy sauce. I couldn't taste anything except that sauce. For me, it's hard to enjoy the fish when it's smothered like that. We still ate everything, though. My favorite was the sake bomb - I loved the torched salmon and tartar sauce on top. It was an interesting pairing of flavors that worked well. I was a little underwhelmed but the prices seemed fair, the portions were good, and, if you're craving Americanized Japanese sushi rolls, this would scratch the itch. They also have a decent selection of signature vegetarian/vegan rolls, which I don't really see on other sushi restaurants' menus.

Had a great girls dinner last night at Fat Salmon. What I like about Fat Salmon is that there is a large vegan selection while also having a good selection for the meat eaters. Service was a little slow but we didn't mind cause we were yapping. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. We ordered a few appetizers and two rolls each. I thought the crispy rice app was delicious but a little hard to eat cause each piece was so big. It had the yam and kimchi (which is vegan) and it was crunchy and tasty. We also had seaweed salad which was big enough to split between all of us. Nothing to write home about but decent enough. Our rolls took some time to come out so we worked our way through a bottle of sujo. They had a couple flavors, we tried the strawberry and peach and both were tasty. When our rolls arrived we all got out our phones cause they were so cute. I got the tofu roll and the caulimflower (???) roll. They were both delicious and came with a side of ginger and wasabi. I can't wait to come back and try more rolls because there were so many options. Loved this place for a girls night but also would be great for a date. Our bill ended up being $65 each tip which is expensive but I was full and tipsy which was just right for me. See you soon Fat Salmon!

4.7 stars because .... for a restaurant of this caliber, their miso soup is weak. I'll start by saying, if you eat at Fat Salmon be prepared to spend. It's not cheap. But boy, their fish is mouth-wateringly delicious. The sushi & sashimi boat for two can actually feed three. There were four of us. We supplemented the boat with an order of seaweed salad (excellent!) salmon tataki and a dragon roll. Because it's someone's birthday this week -- I wonder who! -- they put a candle in the tempura ice cream (but I think it's a bit chintzy that the ice cream wasn't on the house.)

always great sushi every time I come here. It tastes fresh and they have some cool unique specialty rolls as well. It's pretty quiet in there and service is standard.

Fat Salmon has a low-light ambience with single bulb light fixtures that illuminates the tables well. We were seated promptly and provided friendly service. One of our appetizers took a little longer than expected but otherwise the rest of our food arrived quickly. They have an extensive vegetarian selection, which appeals to a broader customer base. Overall, the sushi was good. Some rolls were okay, while other rolls like the white forest (pico de gallo and sour cream) and the fat salmon (pineapple cilantro dressing) had bold and daring flavors that were unique but worked well. Overall this is a good spot for sushi, especially if you're looking for some variety in flavors that you will remember.

Review by birthday girl, posted by mom: I was there on my birthday, and that was definitely a good choice. The sushi was delicious, the dragon roll even convinced my brother to like sushi! Wow! The ladies serving were extremely nice, and they even gave me a candle and some mochi for my birthday! It was dark in there, with lots of candles giving it a cool vibe. There was a cool mural on the wall that was sort of like a collage, too, so that was pretty. Overall, I loved it.

We love sushi in our family and have tried many restaurants around us and even at other states and countries and I can confidently say, this is one of the best sushis we've ever had. The rolls are so unique and delicious and as vegetarian, we appreciate appreciate the amount of veggie roll options the had. We can't wait to be back!

One of the best places in Philadelphia for sushi. The quality of the sushi is so fresh and is apparent from your first bite. I have dined here multiple times and do remember it being a bit better long ago. I'm unsure what changed but they are still top tier. They carry delicious varieties of sake and my personal favorite is the Tozai.

Food was great, atmosphere was great. A little dead when we first went around 7 pm on a Friday, but it definitely picked up in the time we were sitting there. Great walk-in spot. Service was excellent.

This is a good sushi restaurant if you either 1) want to try some unique specialty rolls or 2) if you want a place with plenty of vegetarian options! The early dinner bento box deal is also pretty good, I believe it's 2 specialty rolls for around $25. The chefs forgot about one of our appetizers so that took a while to come out but other than that the service was good. Overall I would come back to try more rolls!

Delicious! We had takeout; ordered the shrimp tempura roll, California Roll, spicy crunchy tuna, Alaska Roll, edamame and miso soup. Every dish tasted fresh. WE will definitely return for our next sushi fix in Philadelphia! I want to try dine-in option next time.

My favorite sushi spot. They have an entire vegan/vegetarian menu. And they are able to accomodate for all my dietary preferences. (They can make rolls without onion and garlic for all the Jain/Swaminarayan peeps out there!!) Servers are all so nice and the presentation is always a 10/10

Delicious sushi! We visited the Fat Salmon early on a Sunday night, and it was mostly empty. Pop music played during our visit and the restaurant has white chairs and tables. One wall has is illuminated with lights that alternate through a rainbow of colors and the other wall has a stylish bar. We tried the cauliflower tempura, fat salmon, white forest with salmon, and the lost rainbow. The cauliflower tempura was perfectly cooked with a fantastic sauce. The fat salmon had a scrumptious cilantro pineapple sauce. The flavors of the white forest and lost rainbow work well together. Overall, I had a great experience at the Fat Salmon and would highly recommend them for sushi in Philly.

FOOD I ordered the Alaskan and Fat Salmon rolls. At first, I thought the prices were a little steep, but the amount of fish you get with each roll (especially the Fat Salmon!) makes it worth it. The Alaskan roll came with salmon, cucumber, and avocado. It tasted great and as expected with the classic roll. The Fat Salmon was one of their specialty roles and their namesake at that, and the modern fusion of a typical salmon roll was a great innovation. The pineapple-cilantro dressing was an interesting twist and added a touch of sweetness to the savory meal, and the salmon portions were enormous. I would definitely frequent here again if I'm looking for specialty rolls. DRINKS Tap water is complementary. Assorted beverages are available for purchase as well. SERVICE The staff were very kind and accommodating. My food came out with a tuna roll instead of an Alaskan roll, which I would have been fine with had I not had allergies to tuna, but the staff quickly brought out the Alaskan thereafter. I AMBIANCE The interior is decorated beautifully. The lighting and greenery aids the intimacy of the setting, and the place is always full. Reservations fill up quickly, so be sure to book ahead of time if you don't want to wait. Nevertheless, we came in randomly and were able to snag a spot by sheer luck. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity.

It looks like a hole in the wall, but once you're inside. The ambiance is amazing and the food is even better! They have the best sushi rolls in town! Also, the stuff is super friendly and very accommodating as well!

So many options, great service! We enjoyed the variety of vegetarian options. We also liked the crispy rice bites as well as the agedashi tofu

I dragged my husband here a while back and it was so good i gotta get back there. beautiful atmosphere as well. definitely worth the trip into town from the burbs.

Found fat salmon after searching for crispy rice on Yelp! Pretty solid Rolls were fresh and wrapped tightly. A bit heavy on the sauce for my preference, but easily something you can modify if you were dining in. The crispy rolls didn't disappoint, although I would a fresh jalapeño (vs pickled) for heat level purposes. The nigiri stole the show; truly the perfect bite.

Such incredible variety of rolls, service was very accommodating and the style of the restaurant is very cute! I can't wait to go back and try more rolls!

This may be my new favorite sushi spot in the city. The sashimi was so fresh it was like a buttery smooth texture. The rolls we got were amazing as well (I forget what they were called). It seemed like a pretty small restaurant, but the ambiance was nice. Would come back again!

Even years after moving out of Philly, this place remains one of my favorite and most recommended restaurants in Philly. I first came here for my 21st birthday and after that, I started bringing all my friends here. They have lots of options for vegetarians as well! Their Dancing Vampire and Miss Sake Bomb special rolls are some of my favorites, though honestly I haven't had anything I didn't like here. The tempura ice cream is a great finish to a fantastic meal!

I'd say we were slightly disappointed but it is still a good sushi option . Fish is fresh but no piece totally shocked me

Absolutely delicious! We decided to come here based on the amount of positive reviews and were not disappointed. We made a reservation through Yelp and although it didn't seem like we needed to when we arrived still think it's a good idea to be safe. The ambience was incredible as was the wait staff! We started with 2 miso soups which were excellent. Very flavorful. I ordered an order of salmon and super white tuna nigiri and a fat salmon roll. My fiancé ordered a spicy tuna crunch roll, flamenco roll, and rock n roll! It came delivered on a sushi boat which was beautiful...although we did feel extra when it came out! The nigiri had a great dish to rice ratio and all the rolls were delicious. The pineapple cilantro sauce on top of the fat salmon roll was something I had never had before as was the sweet chili sauce on top of the flamenco roll. Will definitely be coming back to try some of their other signature rolls!

I'm visiting a friend from the area and she loves going to Fat Salmon for special occasions. I'm a huge sushi fan so a couple people recommended Fat Salmon to me. I knew I had to check it out during the short time I was here. The interior is not what I expected. Fat Salmon's lighting was dim and more of a fancy bar style kind of vibe with its soft neon colors, electronic music in the background, and elegance. This is not your typical sushi restaurant vibe. There are a lot of signature/special sushi rolls here but I'm huge on the staples - if a restaurant can make the basic rolls well, then I'm usually satisfied. Just to note, Fat Salmon isn't cheap. Even the basic maki rolls I got were $8 per roll (seaweed on the outside, 6 pieces per roll - very standard). Overall, thought there was a bit too much rice compared to the amount of fish given. The rice quality was good and had the right amount of vinegar, but it was a bit too much. YELLOWTAIL ROLL - 8 This is the classic yellowtail roll that is also wrapped in scallions. It's definitely one of the better yellowtails I've had! It was tasty and the quality was great. Scallions provided a nice crisp to every bite and it was definitely my favorite roll tonight. SALMON ROLL - 8 They don't even have this roll on the menu because it's that basic, but you can definitely ask for it. I thought the salmon was pretty standard and the fish was fresh! It's usually my favorite roll, but not today. TEKKA (TUNA) ROLL - 8 This was OK. Not super memorable. Tuna doesn't usually have a strong taste anyway, but I'm glad I tried it. My friend got the FANCY SUSHI with salmon (a Fat Salmon Signature roll) and there were four pieces for $15.50. Dang, pretty steep but it was lots of salmon mixed with a tasty creamy sauce and lots of crunch on the side. Good to splurge on, maybe? The service was OK. They did have a busy crowd, but my friend and I felt like it wasn't easy to get our server's attention (to bring us the check, etc.). If I come back in the future, maybe I'll splurge on the SUSHI FOR 1 for myself.

Good quality salmon sashimis. Would recommend for others to come. It's a bit pricey though, we went for restaurant week and it made it better to try food items

Tucked away on Washington Square, very unassuming from the outside, is this gem. This is absolutely one of best sushi spots in the city. The sushi is always fresh and the combination of flavors is divine. We love the Fat Salmon Roll and order it every time, but everything else we order rotates because you really can't go wrong here!

I've been coming to Fat Salmon for over ten years and consider it to be one of,if not, the best sushi spots in Philly. The rolls are fresh and delicious, they have a nice variety of options, standard, specialty rolls and even vegan rolls. As someone who isn't vegan I must say the vegan rolls are some of my favorite items on the menu. If there were anything I'd say fat salmon could improve on it would be adding more staff. The servers they have do a good job but always seem to be short staffed and rushing. 5/5.

Nothing crazy. Interesting special rolls, however, not all of them work. Probably wouldn't come back. Unfortunate!

Was down in Philly for the afternoon was looking for a really good sushi place and landed on fat salmon and was lucky enough to front street parking. What a very cool looking decor. We started off from shared the grilled octopus which wasn't grilled tentacle but baby octopus a little ones that was not my expectation in the server unfortunate was not able to really convey to us but regardless it was a very nice day she had a really nice flavor sauce on top of the grill vegetables and the and the octopus was tender I guess I would've hoped for more tactical meet then the whole baby piece. We also shared the dancing vampire roll which was asparagus cucumber crunchy sweet chili sauce on the inside and salmon and tuna in a sweet chili sauce on top it was quite nice.

This used to be my favorite go-to sushi spot in Philly, but I feel like it hasn't been the same the past few years. The ambience is excellent, although I miss the sushi chefs making the roll in front at the bar. The rolls just don't feel the same quality as they did for past 10 years. It's still good and a solid sushi spot, just not as amazing as I used to think it was

I am only giving Fat Salmon 3 stars because the service was very slow. The restaurant was crowded and it appeared to only have 2 servers. Our server kept forgetting what we ordered. The food was tasty but if they don't get more servers, not going back.

Was there last Friday and the servers were very attentive and helpful! Tried the vegan sushi and was super impressed with the selection they had, will be coming back again!

Went here with friends Sunday night. Nice and friendly service and cool ambiance. They sanitized tables between diners, although my menu was a little sticky so that was a little unfortunate. Our waitress was super nice and timed our orders great while checking in at appropriate times. The sushi was 10/10 and the takoyaki was good but I will get something else next time. The lighting is quirky and the music was maybe a tad loud but I'm ok with it because it matches the brand and it works honestly. There was an odd man who wandered in and acted like he owned the place or something with shoes in his hand, guess he wanted to use the bathroom or something, unfortunate that there wasn't anyone working to kick the guy out but the waitress did check in with the tables the guy bothered afterwards. I can't complain about something I personally wouldn't know what to do about, but it was an odd experience nonetheless. Wouldn't take off any stars for something out of their control of course but had to include as one of the weirder experiences I've had.

Fat salmon has an ambient atmosphere with low levels of overall lighting to make way for a pleasant cool tone provided by the surrounding LED installations exuding a mixture of mostly blue and green tones. It was a great place to experience a menu that not only explored new flavors, but one that had an extensive vegetarian menu that tasted as great as their non vegetarian options. The crispy rice was pampered with a Korean fried chicken sauce and as a Korean myself I was quite surprised at how well it went with the crispy rice's texture. It made it a very nice appetizer to get my stomach ready for the rolls. The rolls were a mix of hit or miss, and some of the rolls should be met with the expectation of trying new combinations and flavors for the best experience. One of the really pleasant ones in my opinion was the Lady in Red roll which had a combo of ingredients that included cream cheese and pickled jalapeños topped off with red bell peppers, providing a flavor profile akin to a charcuterie board condensed into a roll. The seaweed salad proved to be a great palate cleanser and overall the food coupled with the great service from our waitress made my time at Fat Salmon quite satisfying!

Hands down, Fat Salmon is one of the best Sushi spots! Whenever we try another place we compare it to Falt Salmon that's how good the sushi is. We tend to always order takeout but decided to go in and eat at the restaurant. It was a nice ambiance and our waitress gave us great service.

Came in with some family to try a fancier sushi spot for my birthday. We had a reservation fir 8:15 and showed up on time. Despite the restaurant not being very busy for a Friday night, we waited almost 20 minutes to get seated. After being sat, one server filled some water for us and let us know that another would be taking our food orders. It took about 20 whole minutes for the second server to come over, greet us, and take our sushi orders. He was fairly apologetic, and we were patient. It was just a bit irritating to wait that long after already waiting extensively to be sat. He was pleasant, nevertheless and took our orders. After already waiting about 25 minutes, we were brought out a "complementary" 4 dollar edamame due to our sushi taking quite some time to be prepared. I would say it ended up being almost an hour until our food came out. Our server was very good at getting the orders accurately as to which person ordered which rolls. As for the meal, I really did enjoy the taste of the sushi. I had order the Kimchi Ya roll, Lady in Red roll, and M&M roll. I did find the quality and flavors to be above average compared to many sushi places I've been to. It's somewhat of a shame, just because the service was so bad. Overall, I have very mixed feelings. I didn't make a big deal out of the bad service, because I just wanted to enjoy my birthday. I also know that most servers don't intentionally do a bad job. It's just that 3 different bad service experiences in one day at a pretty pricey restaurant shouldn't be acceptable to me. I know that I don't represent the typical experience; I may or Kay not give Fat Salmon another chance one day.

I've been coming here most sundays because the service is amazing everyone is super nice and has a great attitude. just makes the food that much more delicious. I'll be back.

If you're reading this review And you happen to work at Fat Salmon I need your help. Only you can change my life in an immeasurable way, at least a way that I could not express pointedly in words. Please hear my plea... take it under advisement, and then if you want to spread the love as I'm trying to do here... please reach out. I would be forever in your debt. And if it's something that you don't feel comfortable talking about online and you'd rather meet in person... just let me know. I will drive up from DC where I live so we can talk in person. OK... deep breath. How... How do you... ok *puts hands in praying fashion* How do you get your lettuce in your avocado salad so crisp, cold, and fresh? Like... is it that it's washed in a special solution and then refrigerated for some time? Is it a special type of lettuce that's just known for it's fresh crispness? Do you put it in some sort of blast chiller for 1 minute before serving? Does it have something to do with the cold plate? I know the intro is a bit dramatic lol, but honestly I NEED to know how I can make salads with the insanely perfectly chilled, unbelievably crisp lettuce. I have been to one other restaurant in my life (coincidentally a Japanese Restaurant) that had such a crispy, cold, fresh, delicious consistency in their lettuce. That restaurant is Niwano Hana in Rockville MD. I don't usually go there, as I find that the sushi doesn't really measure up to a lot of other places in the area, but their lettuce is like yours. Unbelievable. Ok... my life is in your hands... I hope it's not too much to ask. Service here was AMAZING. My waitress was on her A+ game The rolls I ordered were quite good. Chef knows what they're doing. Agedashi tofu with the marinated shiitakes on top *Chefs kiss* - what a nice touch. I mean... I found this restaurant in a Yelp Collection when I was in Philly. I think the collection name was "Places that you'll get in line to dine at" or something like that. Luckily, I came when Fat Salmon opened at 4pm... cause I eat like someone twice my age haha, and there was no line to get in at all. I would unabashedly recommended Fat Salmon to anyone who was looking for bomb a$$ sushi in Philly. One thing I'll say... parking is expensive in the garages nearby. But that's something that I noticed throughout Philly. MY LORD Philly. Calm down with your bloody parking fees. Philly garages be like... It's 17 dollars for the first 16 minutes, and anything from 18 minutes to 6 hours will be 39 dollars. Philly garages be like... please get what you want and LEAVE. I don't think I've ever paid so much in parking fees in a 2 day span. I was on some much needed PTO, so I just chalked up the extra fees to being off and trying to enjoy myself. But even I couldn't help but balking again... and again and again. I feel bad for these types of businesses with little to no reasonable parking, I hope Philly can get a handle on these insane parking fees for these small local amazing businesses. Oh, back to the salad. Also, that carrot ginger dressing you served the salad with is one of the best dressings I've ever had. I would not be foolish enough to task for the recipe - I know that's asking too much. But if you could just share with me about the lettuce, I'd be forever in your debt.

I dined here tonight with a group of six and we appreciated the leisurely pace of the meal. I was disappointed that a drink I ordered made it onto the bill but never made its way to the table; however, the server easily removed it from the check. The sushi was good - it wasn't superb, but it was tasty and met my expectations. If a friend asked me to dine here again I would happily say yes, but I don't think I would come here solo or actively seek out reasons to return.

I've finally decided to write my review after my second visit. I'm in love with this place. It definitely tops my last favorite sushi place. The quality is so good here. The one thing the restaurant lacks is service. Each time I've been here it takes a while for food to come out and you have to ask the wait staff for water every single time you need it. However, they are very kind and the restaurant can get busy. The FOOD though...I haven't tried one thing that I didn't like yet. My favorite is how big the sashimi slices are in the sashimi appetizer. I also highly recommend the fat salmon roll! If I could, I would come here every night and try every roll.

I love the aesthetics of this place! Perfect for a sushi date night with the interior decor and mood lighting. My friend and I both got the chirashi bowl. While it wasn't necessarily the most exciting selection of fish or presentation, the fish quality was fresh for sure. The fish slices were also sizable enough where I feel like I had gotten my fill for my money's worth. I would very much recommend this place and would come here again!

Awesome place! Walking around Philly for the first time and we craved sushi. We lived in Japan before, so we are very critical. The service was prompt, caring, and genuine. The sushi was FRESH with very generous portions. Beautiful ambiance! Overall great experience!

Solid "Very Good" offering with great value. Quite simple to eat for $20, which on Walnut is difficult. Trendy L.A. vibe with lots of seating. Hip and showy. + salmon skin hand roll ($8). Great broil on the salmon, crispy skin. Nicely done. + Tamago nigiri ($6). Made in house, but not today. Will be very glad to try this again, day of. * Miso soup ($2). Seaweed not quite right, strange marinade, started anemic, even with a stir done discretely, but last bites unctuous! * Sashimi "gauntlet" ($26) Tuna, yellowtail, salmon. Generously thick cuts, and great flavor. Bit cold on preso. Let it sit 6-7 minutes to let the oil rise. # rice too loose and wrong vinegar drops # Unagi nigiri ($8). Wrong flavors on sauce, I think it was teriyaki sauce. Syrupy and sweet like a bbq sauce. # nori clumsily wrapped on all. # Wasabi Shumai ($5) oil and vinegar sauce not right. Not my thing. Wish sushi chefs were out front and that I could see them. They've put a liquor prep area there instead.

This has been one of my favorites for years. It would seem though that there has been a change in menu and chef standards. Was very disappointed with one of the rolls. Also, best not to try and order directly from the website but order through Doordash; some how ended up with two of the same order, billed twice, where the second delivery didn't knock, but just left it in freezing temps on the doorstep.

Delicious fooooood!!!!! Great service!!!! In order of preference, even though all were sooooo good: Double down Katsu Maki White forest
