The 15 Best Sushi Restaurants In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Midori Sushi is a casual spot in Society Hill with just a few tables and, usually, The Kelly Clarkson Show playing on TV. When it comes to the menu, we usually go for specialty options like a salmon roll with torched cuts of fish, avocado, and some teriyaki sauce. The crunch and sweetness complement the fish in a great way." - candis mclean, alison kessler

Midori Sushi - Review - Society Hill - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Midori Sushi is a pretty casual place with ESPN on the TV in the corner and just a couple of booths and a handful of seats. When it comes to the menu, the Society Hill spot has the specialty options like the grilled salmon or jumbo shrimp roll that you should go for instead of the classic ones. Packed with torched cuts of salmon, avocado, and covered in teriyaki sauce, it’s a crunchy and sweet balance that pairs nicely with the high-quality fish." - Candis R. McLean

The food is so good here! The food is fresh with flavors that are harmonious with one another. The portions are filling and the servers are great at recommending something for your taste if you're unfamiliar or unsure! Would go here again for the yuzu poke bowl and unagi!

Besides the fact that there was an annoying guy in the adjacent booth conducting business on his phone, it was an excellent place for a late lunch with my daughter and grandson. We ignored the guy and he eventually left. Went around the corner for some ice cream. The food at Midori was delicious, tasty, and filling! We will be back. 😋🍣🎊

The server was super nice and attentive! The food was ok.. I got a bento box and a sushi tray as take out! As you can see in the picture, there are rice and salad served without any dressing! Am I expected to eat rice buy itself..bcuz my other portions of bento meal are small sizes of sushi, tempura veggies, and 2 dumplings! Do you see spinach.. not washed?!

Came all the way from Maryland to try this place as a group after a long drive and were hungry. It was recommend by a friend. When I tell you that it was so worth it. I love the chicken katsu curry and it’s a solid choice with reasonable prices. Highly recommend this place.

Decent food, good prices, friendly but hands off service. BYOB. Nothing fancy but seems like a solid spot. I didn't eat any raw fish, so can't vouch for that. Kids got very fresh avocado rolls & I got a tasty entree.

Hidden sushi gem. The fish here tastes so fresh and the restaurant itself is very clean and spacious. I'd stick to the sushi, the ramen felt like Chinese egg noodles in salty broth.

Had a very nice dinner at Midori Sushi. The inside of the restaurant was very nice and clean, the wait staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the sushi was pretty good! Great prices and portions. I hope to return to try other menu items soon.

Just as I'm about to move away from Philadelphia, a cute sushi place opens a block away. Of course, right? Reasonable prices, super sweet restaurant workers, and lots of variety. They have a large array of food from ramen, poke bowls, sushi, and cooked Asian food. I got the California Nigiri special which has salmon, tuna, eel, and shrimp nigiri with a California roll. I wasn't a fan of the tuna as it had a bit of an after taste, but it might have been just that cut. I also got an order of inari sushi! Super yummy iykyk. Hope this place makes it! At least hopefully this year is better for restaurants!

Great place for Japanese food near South Street! I had the chicken and rice with potato & beef curry, and it was excellent. Prices are reasonably inexpensive, too. Service was prompts and great. I liked the photos of Japan that decorated the place. All in all, great Japanese restaurant. Would highly recommend!

We live right around the corner from this restaurant and unfortunately the last time we got California rolls and other sushi I couldn't finish it. It was dried out and not appetizing.

I love this new Japanese restaraunt. It has great food selections, the restaraunt is clean and warm, and the staff is friendly. I had the lunch bento box on this visit. It was plenty of food for $12. The miso soup has lots of tofu and seaweed. The broth was rich and cloudy. The bento box had five items. The sticky rice was cooked just right. It was soft and slightly sticky. I enjoyed the marinated beef and salad. The rolls were small but the bento box still provide plenty of food for my lunch tummy. I also like the small subtle touches such as the background Japanese music, wet towel at the end of the meal, and custom made wooden booths. Hopefully, you will also enjoy a delicious meal here. Let me know how your experience turned out.

I hadn't had sushi since -- how long was quarantine? -- about that long. Well maybe once but it was disappointing. So the stakes were high for Midori, a Queen village newcomer with just 6 Yelp reviews. Cut to the chase: it lived up to any dreams I had about sushi. And I'm already plotting my next visit. It's a sparse but clean space with 3 private booths, a banquette and a few tables. With one other table filled, I felt comfortable, but would have if it were busier as it's airy and social distancing-friendly.. The service is prompt and polite and they have "call buttons" like on a plane or in a hospital in case you need to get the staff's attention. There's a lunch menu with tons of $10 options give or take, including rolls plus miso and salad, or hot dishes like teriyaki, and a poke bowl which I HIGHLY recommend. The tuna was red, fresh, and plentiful. The avocados perfectly ripe. Rice well-seasoned. Spicy mushrooms delicious, and something that looked and tasted like mango, but I'm uncertain (and don't care) if it was. Perfect umami. Give this new small business a shot -- I think you'll be happy.

Glad I tried it :) Food comments: I ordered the sushi lunch special with the Uramaki Salmon (4) & Zengarden Black Rice roll (4), the Salmon Delight special roll (4.5) and Mix Tempura appetizer (4.5). The mix tempura was my favorite thing, as the batter was so light and lovely & the vegetables seemed very fresh. The sushi was decent. The lunch rolls were small, though I recognize I did the lunch option. The salmon delight was pretty good, not as wowing as some special rolls but I liked the sauce & the toppings. Other notes: very fair pricing. All this was $30! Also, I really liked their menu. It seemed authentic & was vegetarian friendly. All in all, it's not my top pick for sushi in the city, but it's a spot I recommend supporting & plan to revisit!

My son and I had the Love Boat Trio, as were used to paying that, or more, for a two person combo. There was more food than expected, but we did finish everything without a problem. However, we were full, not a normal sushi restaurant experience. The sushi, sashimi, and rolls were all excellent. Service was very good, and the entire restaurant was incredibly clean. Everything was sanitized, and my son reported that included the men's room. - We'll be back!

A cute small sushi / Japanese restaurant. Poke bowls were really good but portions were kinda small. Relatively empty when we went and got served quickly, waiters were nice and loved the overall ambiance! Definitely worth checking out :)

Food is great and we normally have a great time here, but last visit one persons sushi was 30 minutes late after everyone else's food had come out. We had paid the check and were still waiting for it for Togo. Staff was not apologetic and it was very disappointing.

Great food! We especially loved the poke bowls. Everything was surprisingly filling also.

This is my new favorite sushi spot! I didn't think to take pictures, so I only have a photo of the roll I had to bring home because I was so full. I had the eel/cucumber roll, crunchy dragon roll, and spicy tuna roll. My pic is of the spicy tuna roll I brought home. We also had the spring roll with shrimp. Service was excellent. We didn't realize it was a BYO until after we got there and sat down. Next time I will definitely bring some beers. Our server was nice and gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted. As other customers left, we watched as the staff quickly cleaned the table, and then placed a little "sanitized" sign on the table afterwards. Delicious flavors, fresh fish, quiet and peaceful setting. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Sushi was great but service was really slow. We were sitting in but it seemed like takeout orders were delayed as well. Byob which is a plus

Super amazing place. It is South Streets best kept secret for a sushi spot with the freshest fish and hands down the BEST poke bowl I have ever had. The midori fried noodles are out of this world amazing. Great for a quick place to grab a bite or hang out on a date, love this spot. Definitely try it out before it blows up and there is a line around the corner.

Initially this place was ok. A easy and simple, quick sushi place. Recently thought it became very very slow. I stopped by for lunch and it took almost 30 minutes to get a bowl of ramen (with only one other table occupied). No lunch menu, so, and the prices were a bit too high for lunch. Went back for dinner and..... the service was terrible. We sat at a table after the waiter welcomed us and no water or silverware were offered. The food took 1 full hour to arrive. I had to ask multiple time as my little one was very hungry. We are not talking elaborate dished, white rice and steamed tofu shouldn't take 40 min! Our order (3 rolls and 2 miso soups) came out one at the time after additional 20 minutes... Quality was ok, not so exceptional out with such a creative twist to justify the price. Will not be back, even if the location of the restaurant is very convenient and no reservation is needed. Low quality of the service and high prices are not the right combo!

Ordered takeout about a half a dozen times. That ain't happening again. Sushi is good. It took an incredibly long time each time, despite not many dine-in diners. But the sushi is pretty good and, since it's not hot food, I adjusted and started giving an extra 15 minutes or so. This this time, I had to wait another 20 mins after the extra 15. Got home, wrong order. I call the restaurant and the owners will not allow the poor kid working there to give them the phone. I have never experienced anything like this. They wouldn't acknowledge it was the wrong order. I just wanted to bring it back and get my actual order without waiting another hour in the restaurant. But nothing. My kids are hungry. What is going on? I go into the restaurant and the owner starts screaming at me and wasn't making any sense. It was like a twilight zone episode. That man is clearly very ill and I pity his son/nephew for having to work under him. So in summary. Sushi pretty good. Takes a verrrry long time. If anything goes wrong with your order, good luck!

I live in the area, only blocks away, and overlooked this little gem. Sushi was exceptional and fresh. The menu offers a nice variety of sushi and cooked dishes. The owner was on site making sushi and his nephew was so pleasant. The restaurant dining area is small but very clean and it is set up to accommodate a larger group, if necessary. Very pleasantly surprised. Will definitely return again.

The sushi spot we were planning on going to was closed and we ARE THRILLED about it!!! Midori was fast and kind and made us some FAT sushi. Good size pieces of fish and the chef special rolls we tried (angry dragon, crunchy dragon, and midori classic) were delicious!!!! Cant wait to be hungry again so we can go back

Excellent sushi! We picked up our dinner which included the crunchy dragon roll & salmon lovers dinner - so fresh and delicious. We will definitely be ordering again!

We love sushi and have eaten in or ordered from many sushi restaurants in downtown Philadelphia. We decided to order takeout from Midori tonight. I really hate posting bad reviews, but I truly have to say that this was the worst sushi we have ever had. The quality of the tuna in both the sashimi and the rolls was inferior and the Ikura sushi was spoiled. The sashimi was cut in chunks instead of delicate slices. We spent over $100 and wound up throwing the food in the trash. We were actually afraid to eat it.

If I could give more stars I definitely would! My first time ordering here and I was a little under the sun today but when my food arrived, LET ME TELL YOU! I only ordered the chicken katsu bowl Bc I've been craving it for a awhile. HOWEVER! The rice was so fluffy and the bowl overall had so much flavor! The chicken itself? Oh my goodness the best! It was so good I'm pretty sure I finished pretty quickly.... It was so good I left my Bowl spotless. And now I'm in an even better mood. I seriously recommend this place to other first time customers! You seriously will not regret it. Me on the other hand will be ordering more often!

This place hit it on so many levels that it made me happy spending my hard-earned dollars there. Went in for lunch yesterday and ate 6 people's worth of sushi. Started with the seaweed salad which was surprisingly good. The sushi was spot on. The Hotate (scallop) sushi should be on everyone's order. So dang good. The salmon sushi was some of the best I've had. The Otoro was riducouly fatty and delicious. All of it. And to cap it off, the people who work there have an amazing story. They are Burmese. But they have a special relationship with a Sushi Master so you're getting an amazing melding of two cultures. Their kindness and humility make it that much more impressive that they can back it up with some knockout sushi. Plus it's BYOB. Need I say any more? Just go get yourself a bottle of sake and bathe in the sushi goodness. I can't be happier I did.

Hands down my new favorite Japanese spot in the city. All the food was extremely fresh with huge portions. Best kani salad I've ever had. We ate in the restaurant and the presentation was lovely.

The first impression upon entering was that the restaurant was clean, serene, and spacious, with a warm and welcoming staff. Great care to maintain health safety is apparent with masks, sanitation, etc. I have only been getting the lunch specials in the afternoon and have been so happy with the quality, quantity and the prices. I look forward to a long and continuing relationship with this restaurant.

Ordered here tonight and would definitely recommend! Sweet, small spot that had a bright and clean asthetic when I walked in. There was a heat warning today and the staff offered me water while I waited for my takeout. Haven't seen a grilled salmon roll anywhere else, and it was delicious! I'd go back again for the high quality rolls and friendly service. Hope they continue to do well as a new business!

Happy to have another sushi place in the hood! Everything was so good and service was quick, easy, and friendly. Our favorites were the pork fried noodle, the spicy kani salad seared tuna twister roll, and the calamari salad. Definitely a nice addition to QV/society hill.
