Wow!! How have I not tried sushi planet sooner?! What a sleeper! Perfect rice, great fish, HUGE but perfectly proportioned rolls. Accommodating owners, too — took an order close to close and it was all fresh!

This was a nice spot for an early dinner; it definitely gave "hole-in-the-wall vibes - setup was a narrow width but deep footprint. The food was very reasonably priced and the service was cheery and perfunctory; they had one wait staff member helping the handful of customers in the shop AND facilitating door dash orders. It was a repeatable restaurant outing if only because good tasting sushi spots need to be shared among the masses. No pics to share but trust me your palette won't complain if this is your dinner choice. Parking was street parking, and somewhat available for the time of day chosen. I dunno man, go visit and see if it's worth passing along to others?

My best friend and I went to Philadelphia for memorial day weekend. I haven't had sushi in months so he planned to bring me and I'm so happy he did. I'll definitely be going back!!!

A tiny cozy tucked-in Japanese restaurant of South Philadelphia. Great place for couples or small group of 4ppl. Service was excellent and sushi was made fresh. We tried the Apple roll and their Planet roll was pretty good. Also had tried the new Passion roll which came on a round dish with a flaming fire in the middle. There is a single unisex restroom.

I used to love getting the lunch special, but for some reason now the website won’t let you place any orders until 4. When I try to call in, it rings and rings no answer. Maybe they changed their hours? But online it still says they open at noon and I’ve tried calling for weeks now and still get the same problem :’( rip my lunch specials

Came in just in just in time for a late night dinner after a night out in town. One hour before closing but the service was so warm and welcoming nonetheless. The food was absolutely delicious and great portions.

WOW! My friend suggested we sit at the bar and ask for whatever the chef wanted to make. I had never done that before and I was beyond impressed! In the past, I just assumed it would be crazy expensive, but it wasn't. It was so worth it!!! I will definitely return and take out of town guests with me when they come to visit!

This place was just okay. I'm confused by all of the folks saying it was the best sushi in Philly and worth driving for. When we walked in, there was a damp rice smell and we were the only people in the place. I normally order sushi or sashimi, but something told me to go with rolls, and I think that may have been the right choice because the tuna on one of my rolls seemed a bit off - clearly it had been frozen and was that sort of rosy color that tuna gets when it's been treated with carbon monoxide to prevent oxidation. Husband ordered better, picking shrimp tempura roll and a roll with fried sweet potato and topped with shrimp. My daughter got vegetarian rolls and said they were bland. Service was pleasant however.

First time ordering from Planet! Delivery was fast and the food was great. We got Scallion Pancakes and Gyoza. Crispy and tasty! Chicken and Shrimp entrees with Brown Rice... Yes they have Brown Rice! Came with Broccoli. Veggie Sushi. Salad. Miso soup. Yummy. We will be back.

Super small portion! I had the Spicy Tuna Tempura, 6 pieces total and $12.96 plus delivery. The tuna in the roll was chopped and super cooked. I thought it would be raw tuna, like in a chunk and then deep fried. Wouldn't recommend, for the price there is better.

Normally the food is great and i have no complaints but they've been randomly closed and not posting it on their website or anything, so if your gonna order even if you call ahead of time its not guaranteed

Sushi Planet is overrated the sushi portions are quite small but not good enough for what they are charging. Staff should step up a bit when there is a table in the restaurant or in the least act like they care. The steamed pork gyoza were not bad could have used a litle mire meat though. for an early dinner 4 pm or so it should have been spot on but the service was lacking and the wait staff was too busy either eating or sweeping the floor instead of tending to the table. its an ok sushi place for south street but could be alot better if the staff tried a little harder.

First time checking out Sushi Planet so I checked out the lunch special and had chosen to get the three rolls for $12 which came to $16.20 with taxes my favorite nowadays is Salmon tempura rolls with brown rice so that's what I purchased they were delicious the only reason I didn't give the five stars is because I went to eat my ginger and it had hair on it but other then that it was all good.

Grabbed a 3 roll lunch special for $14 plus tip. I'm veggie so my rolls were pretty basic, but it was great! Also came with miso soup. Staff was nice and they are taking covid precautions seriously from what I saw.

This place is AMAZING. I drive down to queen village specially for sushi planet. I try a new roll every time but some obvious classics: rainbow roll, crunchy roll, avocado eel roll, planet roll, Ichiban roll, etc. it tastes so good. Just do yourself a favor and try it out. Yum.

Sushi Planet you are totally magnificent, I had a wonderful experience here today. The entire place certainly had a very cool vibe. Every thing I've tried up until now is very good. All of the staff are extremely helpful - you truly feel welcome and looked after. Sushi Planet was awesome.

Worst delivery sushi I've ever eaten. Who ever is butchering their fish doesn't know what they're doing or doesn't care. I got multiple pieces of just straight fat/skin/connective tissue in a salmon roll. I mean yeah, this isn't a 4 star dining experience, it's take our but there should be SOME quality to an order that was $40 for 3 items. The crab salad which per their description seemed like a version of the classic Kani salad was repulsive. Chopped hunks of crab? Gross. The monster roll was also a sad barely edible travesty. Save your money don't bother ordering here.

Stepped in Friday night randomly. Yummy. So glad I did. Had the tuna tar tar. Spicy tuna mixed with Siracha and on top of cucumbers. So delish with bacon bits in it. Then I had the the spicy tuna roll. Fresh tuna wrapped in tuna. Service was great. Sushi was fresh. So glad I had the craving

Horrible and made ten times worse by the worst customer service I have seen in Philadelphia. The girl at the register was soo rude. I did not understand why she was treating me so badly. There was not even a disagreement. She was rude from the moment I walked in the door. I would not go here. Her attitude was so bad that I didn't feel safe eating the soup that she retrieved from the back. She rolled her eyes at me, yelled at me and then mumbled something in Chinese about me, because I didn't hear something that she said. I guess that she is racist? Who knows... All I know, is the sushi was mediocre, I've had better from the grocery store. And the service was hostile. Also, there's roaches. I was there today... Saw a roach run past with a piece of rice.

My friend & I have not been here for maybe 2 years! We finally came back because she missed the pickles that they give you. So much so that we asked for a second one which was $2 but they give you more than the free one so it's not too bad. Hungry Roll $14 "Spicy tuna, avocado, grilled eels topped with crunchy and seared squid and immersed the roll in tasty sauces for these hungry people." The tasty sauce was spicy mayo & was not too much like most places so you could really taste the eel & squid. It was delicious! We were really considering getting another order but we were full. Sushi Cakes Roll $14 "Rice block (rectangular shape) topped with spicy lobster/crunches/avocado, and additional layer of sliced tuna with special sauce." You can really taste the tuna but not the lobster. Just a little dab of sauce on top so not overpowering. I like that you can taste the fish in the rolls here. There is not too much sauce or rice; perfect balance. The bathroom was clean & the sesting in the back gives a nice, dark, romantic feel. Downside is that it's hard to find parking since it's so close to South St. but we'll be back again soon! They also offer outdoor seating in nicer weather.

Sushi was above average. Service was sub par. Had a server and a runner, but hard to tell which was which. After our main course, one of the girls asked if wanted anything. We said no and asked for the check. 10 minutes goes by, and the other brings out a small ice cream dish--two little bites, which seemed as if it were presented as a free dessert before the check. 10 minutes go by, and the girl comes back without a check but says that the ice cream wasn't for us. I was peeved, but My fiance said she'd pay for it, a bit embarrassed for the uncomfortable position the server put us in, but I can't believe they actually charged us for something we didn't order and they mistakenly sent to our table. Still took more than 10 minutes to see the check. $40 for a combo platter, two waters, soup, salad, and ice cream we didn't want.

First off, the pictures uploaded by the business on Yelp are not accurate at all. What we got were way mininature-rized versions of the rolls (see pic). Being on a busy studying schedule, we thought it would be a good idea to order delivery and the idea of delivery sushi sounded very appealing. Sadly, I was very disappointed. I ordered and waited over an hour for them to come, even though they are only 7 blocks away (yea, I know I'm lazy). We even had to call them again. We got four rolls for about $40 dollars so I just basically spent $20 bucks on a bad dinner. What we ordered: 1) Apple Roll ($13.25, WTH?!) : OK I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered this. I guess the sound of apple in a sushi roll sounded interesting. What we got however, was a different story. A small sushi roll with a very thin piece of salmon and tuna on the outside, and a tiny piece of yellow tail in the inside. What made up the core of the roll? LOTS of apples. I couldn't even taste the fish. SO hmm I guess I paid 13 bucks for mostly apple slivers. 2) Love for Tuna ($10): There is no love here. I am in disbelief how tiny this roll is for being $10. It was the same size as the non-specialty rolls and at twice the price. To make matters worse, I decided to just eat a piece of the Tuna separate from the roll. Talk about not fresh. It was dry and grainy... SAY WHAT? Dry and grainy tuna?? YEA.... 3) Tex-Mex ($8.50): Again, sounded very appealing and fun with having jalapeno. Again, teeny tiny, and the chicken inside.... SO DRY AGAIN! UGH! 4) Spicy Tuna ($5.50): This one was okay, more spiciness would've been better. And the rice wasn't fresh either! Overall, everything was bland and boring. Most flavorful thing I had during this meal? The ginger. WILL NOT be returning. I've had better sushi at grocery stores than this. I'd give it one star but the lunch I had there once was okay so it redeems a star for that.

We had a delightful meal here with friendly service. We were at the restaurant from about 6 to 7:30 during that time there was only one other couple dining there and about five staff members. I don't know why there were not more people there so we did find that to be a bit odd. Maybe it was just an off night. We loved the salad that we started with with the ginger dressing.

Everything was perfect . Really . The decor is dated . The service fast and the quality of the rice , fish, tempura everything . I think they can give a larger miso soup and salad with these lunchtime special meals however . The menu is extensive and strong . Fabulous.

I'd usually score a place like this higher, but I'm going to give Sushi Planet a conditional 3 stars, since I will definitely be returning, and think it has potential to improve. I've now eaten their food twice, once dining in and last night for takeout. Accolades: 1. I love how they used a large 9 x 13 aluminum tin takeout container (reuseable, recycleable and more earth-friendly than plastic!). I'm going to use it again to cook a lasagna! 2. I like this place better than nearby Hikaru because they have more exciting rolls. It's also larger than Uzu, so you can dine with a larger group. 3. Delivery! YES!!!! 4. Complimentary sake. YAY! Room for improvement: 1. Apple Roll: yellowtail, crisp apple slices, wrapped inside out and topped with salmon and tuna - I liked this the first time I dined here for the creativity, however yesterday, I felt the apples should have been sliced smaller, perhaps julienne cut as cucumbers often are, rather than sliced, as it made it really hard to chew and enjoy at the same time. 2. Ambiance: While casual and laid-back, I really have issues with the decor, since I think the colors of the walls and the paintings are imposing and mismatched. I think it should have a bit more Japanese or calming influence and better lighting to make it a place I would want to spend time in frequently. 3. There was a slight mix up with our takeout order (we got a salmon roll instead of salmon california roll), but I'm not so sure if that was a miscommunication, so I won't hold it against them!

Just got delivery from sushi planet- I don't know what happened to their sushi. It used to be a neighborhood favorite of ours. But tonight it was awful and I'm actually concerned we might have food poisoning. The house salad was at least 2 days old too. Avoid sushi planet !!! Paid 70$ for nausea

My go-to spot because the sushi is consistently good plus the prices are comparable to local competitors. They recently expanded their vegetarian sushi menu and as a vegetarian it is much appreciated! I highly recommend the Fitzwater roll.

I'm updating my review from 5 stars to 3.5, primarily for the recent take-out experiences we've been having. The past three times we've gotten take-out I've been semi-disappointed. My beloved avocado salad has has hardly any dressing on it, and the dressing it does have has been very liquidy. Also, our sushi rolls have been oddly disfigured. The top looks fine, but the bottom is smushed or falling apart and I can't figure out why. Just because I'm not sitting in the restaurant doesn't mean I don't deserve the same quality food!! Step it up, SP!

For the price and quality they offer, it's a place I will go back. When I walked in to the restaurant, there were no one greeting at the door. All the sushi chiefs and the manager (I assumed he is) were staring at me and did nothing. It was pretty awkward. There was ONE server (server, busboy, pick-up girl) for the whole floor. She was nice but she can only do so much. Service was really slow!!! Despite all the above, the sushi was really good!! Really appreciated the chief added what we requested. Plus, it's BYOB. Can't beat that. If the service was a little better, I will definitely go more often.

I have had take out from here with my cousin but tonight was the first time I ate here. The atmosphere was nice and less than impressed service. The food was good for the most part. I did not like the pork buns. Too dry. But to each their own. I've had worse. The thing I did not like was when my server said to me when I was ordering "maybe you're hungry but I think that is all you need." I don't know about you, but I don't like to be told what I can or cannot order. What I should or should not order unless its is something really good or really bad. I think your job as a server is to take my order and put it in to the kitchen. If I eat all of my food or not is not the servers concern. At that point it is her or his job to wrap it up so I can take my left overs to go. I ordered a Kani salad, miso soup, eggplant for appetizer (these are excellent), I wanted to try the pork buns so I ordered them, then I also got a tempura spicy tuna roll. I had some tea and water. After the server made the comment about what I ordered was enough food I told the waitress that I like to have a variety of food ( I was contemplating on ordering a plain spicy tuna roll) but then decided not to because she made me feel weird. I shared my food with my friend who orders a miso soup and also a seared spicy tuna entree. That was good. So I did not eat all the food myself although I probably could have. Like I said, maybe she was trying to be nice and tell me what I ordered was a lot of food but she does not know me and that even though I'm 5'1" and 112lbs that I can pack away food like a big guy. I have a healthy appetite and did not have a chance to eat anything else today, plus I worked out this morning burning off probably at least 1000 calories and needed food to refuel my system. Or maybe its because I'm pregnant! Still I do not appreciate someone telling me that I ordered enough food (too much in her eyes). Some of us enjoy food and eat with gusto instead of under eating or watching their weight. I don't have that problem and I have a very fast metabolism as well as keep myself fit so I can eat what I want and not have to worry about it. (sure as we age we can dont burn off as much but this has not been a problem for me as I cost towards 40. I won't be going back there or recommending the service to others who are always looking for new places to try. There are plenty of good sushi restaurants around and ill find another one with servers who do not criticize my eating habits. Regardless I still left my customary 20% tip and tried not to take it personally. I just don't think it is someone's place to comment or tell someone what they should or should not order unless they cannot fill the order. Food I give 3.5 stars. Some items I found awesome and some I felt were lacking. Service I give 2 stars. so I even it out to a 3.

Sushi planet is my ultimate lunch spot. The place is nice and clean, the sushi combo is the best option on south street, for 10$ you get a lot of sushi and a miso soup. The complimentary pickles are home made and are excellent ( if you like them salty like I do) I do not think this is cheap sushi ( like other reviewers wrote) at all, instead you should appreciate the fact that this restaurant is totally managed by young guys and they are doing a great job with customer service too. Go sushi planet!

Stopped in for lunch mid week while I was in town and it seemed like a decent enough sushi place, but it was dead! Not one person came in from while I was eating which I think is a bit odd. Not even take out. It was eerily quiet. They had lunch menu but nothing struck me so I just ordered two rolls from the main menu including the Planet RollSushi was fresh and the Planet roll was tasty enough- but I really no reason to go out of my way to go back there if I was in the area. Service was good and bill was around 25$ with tip for 1 for lunch.

I'm not sure how Sushi Planet doesn't have a solid 5 star here. It is absolutely the best sushi EVER. My boyfriend and I frequent Sushi Planet both for a casual night out and a weekend delivery! Going into the restaurant is always such a pleasant experience. It's BYOB, so that's a plus. The service is always friendly and attentive. The sushi is so fresh and YUM. I would most certainly recommend Sushi Planet to anyone looking for some yummy sushi :)!

GRUB HUB specific experience: I ordered delivery from Grub Hub at 8:30pm last night and received the usual text message which states your food will be delivered btwn 9:30 - 9:40pm. Kinda late for me, but I was craving my fish and went ahead with the order. It was rainy, so I get there might be a delay, but 9:55pm rolls around and I'm falling asleep. 2 conversations with the business accomplished nothing but the food finally arrived at 10:05pm. It was ok, maybe because I was hangry, but you could tell the fish was previously frozen...a little extra water when you chew. I'm not dying to order from here again at all.

The name "Sushi Planet" conjures up images of white formica tables, bright neon lighting, and the worst kind of conveyor-belt-style sushi. Fortunately, the real Sushi Planet offers none of these things. Instead, it's just a great neighborhood BYO sushi joint. The fish is fresh, the rolls are reasonably-priced, and the ambiance is casual but nice enough for a date or a girls' night out. (It's a loud and young-ish crowd, though, so maybe not the best place to bring the in-laws.) I wouldn't call Sushi Planet authentic - I'm not sure I've ever seen a Japanese person working there, in any capacity - but it's the deliciousness that counts in my book. The rolls can take a long time to come out from the sushi bar, so you might consider starting with some edamame, or other appetizer of your choice. They used to bring out free appetizers and sake, but that doesn't seem to happen anymore. Sad. All the same, I'm sure I'll keep coming back time and time again!

For those of you who are always in search of a great sushi spot in the city, do not bother visiting this place. I read the mixed reviews but decided to go in with an open mind regardless. At first, the inventive rolls litsted seemed promising, but when we ate what was served to us it had absoutely no flavor. Literally, all the rolls just tasted like rice balls. To boot, the soy sauce must have been watered down to cut cost. It tasted only like salty brown water. When we asked the server if she could give us a full bottle of soy sauce from the back, she said she couldn't, but gave us another sm. bottle from another table, which was just as flavorless as the first. What sushi restaurant serves flavorless soy sauce!? The irony for me is that I usually think soy sauce is too salty. Those having to watch their blood pressure need not worry about this place. The kicker was when I would place a mound of Wasabi on a roll (enough to make you cry a river) I wasn't even phased, b/c even that barely had taste! Who cares how creative the rolls are, if you can't taste it why bother eating there!? For the first time ever, we left a bunch of rolls on the plate b/c they just weren't appetizing enough to finish. Please do not waste your time going there.

I kind of don't want to review this place, because I want to keep it my little secret. It's THAT good. I know it's got a stupid name, but once you see the chic little interior, and the beautiful, tasty platters that come out from behind the bar, then you get this insanely cheap bill, you are going to forget alllllllllll about that silly silly name. How does it go? A rose is still a rose...

I think only thing cool about this place is their delivery service (online system). Spicy Tuna - where's the kick? nowhere. and i thought they were disappearing as i stared at them since they were so tiny. Apple Roll- decent amount for the price and the fresh apple added some texture & taste to the dry and bland roll...but it is still $$ Tex mex - wow. terrible..and $$!!! dried up pieces of chicken with a slice of jalapeno/spicy sauce.. the idea was pretty creative and it has a potential to improve....if there's more stuff to it...and better stuff in it. Love for Tuna - love failed. sashimi on all of the rolls were not fresh at all. Doesn't all sushi restaurants restock their ingredients for dinner? OVERALL - Terrible Rice, Smallest rolls I've seen for paying $6-13...and not-so-fresh sashimi used for the rolls. I feel bad for giving 1-Star but it is unacceptable that only thing that was juicy/fresh was the ginger.

I'm really lukewarm about this place. I didn't hate it, but I didn't really like it either. The sushi was fine, I guess. The rice was undercooked, though, so each roll was a little crunchy in a not-so-good way. The service was also fine, I guess. It felt a little uncomfortable, but she was nice enough. I don't know if they're still serving the complimentary items, but we didn't receive any. If not, fine. If so, why?

It seems fair for me to review Sushi Planet since it is the first restaurant I have checked out soley because of responses on Yelp. I think people below giving the 5 star reviews are friends of owners/workers or have some other biased opinion, because it is not that great. It is by no means terrible but definitely not 5 stars. The food was all pretty good especially for the price. The bass carpaccio was swimming in a ponzu vinaigrette that completely over powered the fish. The knife skills on the fish were also terrible, I am not an expert, but the fish was shredded into tiny pieces and piled on top of each other. With that said, the fish did seem fresh and the vinaigrette was tasty, and the price was great, it was $6 for about 9 sashimi size pieces of fish(estimate as a few pieces were shredded) . The big bummer of the night was my roll. I ordered a special roll and was expecting to get entree sized portion... eight pieces(the normal). BUT when it came there were five pieces?!? Pretty much only half of the roll. Who serves five pieces of sushi? It was obvious the chef only served me half the roll. When I asked it the server tried to explain that there was no exact science to how he cut it. Bullshit. To top it all off the first half of our dinner was spent listening to a waitress complaining about some customers that had just left and tried to stiff her because she didn't have the correct change to give her. This place is by no means great, mediocore at best. The free sake and appetizer were nice. I might go back but it's not on the top of my list.

Just so we're clear...we've ordered from Sushi Planet 4 times. They were new to the neighborhood so I've held off on posting a review, but 'm officially over it! The first 3 times they got out order wrong, overcharged us and took too long to deliver. All three times they apologized profusely and tried to make amends. This time is too much. We ordered at 6:25pm and I'm writing this review at 7:45 and our food is still not here. The food is decent to begin with, certainly not worth waiting for. I would avoid ordering from there ever again. Do yourself a favor and invest your time and effort to walk to two additional blocks to Hikaru. Hikaru is reliable, attentive wait staff and we've never had an extraordinary wait. Sushi Planet TWO THUMBS DOWN! Update: We just got our sushi after an hour and 30 minutes. The sushi was decent but they forgot two of our rolls. So even though they gave us 1/2 off it was half off of an incomplete order.

Solid four stars of sushi restaurant. You basically know what you're going to get the second you enter this sushi spot. Hint - if it feels like q'doba inside, don't expect 4 Michelin stars guys. If you're in queen village, I can't come up with aa good reason not try it unless you've already been to royal sushi and izikaya which is obviously better.

This restaurant is the kind of operation that makes me continue to try new places, cause every once and a while you find a gem that nails service, ambiance, price and taste. The fact that its a sushi place that delivers just takes it over the top. The presentation of both the space - v. chic, clean, comfortable - and the plates - simple, appetizing not hokey, even (dare I say it) beautiful- are clearly the product of careful thought. The menu doesn't try to be everything to everyone but still keeps it interesting - try the bass carpaccio and the unagi kabayaki. And the quality of ingredients and over all flavor is on par with some of the much pricier places in the city. I am totally gone for S-p'net (I'm tryin to work with the less than stellar name) and happy that everyone I have sent there has reported back that they too received the spectacular service and tastey eats. Well done.

After exhausting our neighborhood sushi selection (at least of the decently rated ones on Yelp), we've slowly been trying out sushi joints in outlying areas. We ended up having access to a car one recent evening and opted to utilize its awesome travel powers to swing by a new place, Sushi Planet. I ordered online via their website system (no issues and pretty straightforward), jumped in the car and did a drive-by take-out hit. Flawless. We got home, opened up our neatly packaged sushi and dove in, chopsticks clicking hungrily. I took a bite of my standard fave roll, spicy scallop, and...eh. Usually I'm drooling over it, regardless of where I got it, but for some reason this time I just wasn't getting that sensual, silky, spicy in just the right way taste. It was just...eh. Not bad, but not amazing, like a muted flavor. I decided to try our other rolls with more mixed results: Apple Roll (yellowtail with apples, topped with tuna, salmon and masago): really didn't do it for me. I was expecting some awesome freshness from the apple but nope. I ended up only having one piece. Emperor Roll (Scallop tempura, avocado, scallions, spicy tuna topped with super white tuna): this one was pretty tasty, actually. The plethora of fish made for one big bite (or two for me), so the amount of rice was pretty minimal relatively. On Fire Roll (Eel, avocado topped with crunchy spicy tuna): again, with this one the taste seemed muted. Maybe it was the rice? It did seem like there was more rice than usual for each roll - also, these rolls where cut into HUGE pieces. I can't fit those into my teeny, tiny mouth. I will say that the fish was fresh, so maybe they're just not so great with their specialty rolls? Or maybe I was having a meh night when it came to sushi? I still think this place is worth another shot, but I'll stick with the basics for that try. The waitress was really nice when I arrived, and they definitely roll out the sushi fast since it took them the same time to make my order as it did to drive from Rittenhouse area to them. Still, if you can't make me drool over a spicy scallop roll, something is missing. The question is - what?

We came here for a friends' bday and started out here celebrations here for dinner. The sushi wasn't bad, although I highly recommend that you order an entree/appetizer to go with it, in case you are hungry. The sushi didn't fill me up, but I am glad that I at least ordered an appetizer in advance. The servers were very polite (and cute), but for some reason it took an hour to get our food. They did bring a few dishes that were on the house, but still it seemed to take forever to get our food. Anyway not a bad place, but be sure to go here with more than enough time available.

It is against my nature to eat at the same restaurant more than a few times. However, the one restaurant in philadelphia that breaks my pattern is sushi planet. I have had american sushi throughout philadelphia, new york, and miami and have yet to come across a place that rivals sushi planet in atmosphere/quality/customer service that is even close to its price point. I have come to learn that santos (the main chef) is not only a graduate of the culinary institute of america but he learned to make sushi at a well-known restaurant in philadelphia. It rhymes with "santimoto." If you haven't discovered this place yet, do it. Just don't go on sat night without a reservation. Oh yeah, they have brown rice too!

Fresh. Fast. Delicious. Relatively inexpensive for sushi. Free delivery and online ordering. What more could you want? Overall I was impressed and it definitely beats some of the other places I have tried for Sushi in Philly.

I am not hard to please at restaurants, all I need is a server that isn't miserable, my water to be refilled frequently, and decent food. This place matched all of those criteria. I enjoyed my sushi and my appetizers. I appreciate that this place in byob and the staff did not try to rush us out when we came in sort of late on a Saturday night. Free pickled vegetables and a constantly full water glass sealed the deal for the fourth star.

Fairly subpar in a city with many other sushi options. The uni was awful here - either extremely not fresh or sprayed with Windex-flavored juice. I ordered 5 rolls, Agedashi tofu, and ice cream mochi (3). Everything that looked interesting seemed to include avocado and cucumber, which could be acceptable but not particularly creative. Flavor was lacking in every roll unless doused in medium grade wasabi. The pumpkin roll was an interesting creation but still lacking in much flavor. The fish wasn't particularly fresh but not terribly old either. On the plus side, the Agedashi tofu was fantastically prepared and presented very well. The mango mochi was an unusual offering with an excellent wrap and flavorful ice cream. The green tea and red bean mochis were less pleasant and I felt they had freezer burn. Service was reasonable, water was refilled constantly. Décor very simple and not distracting. Agadashi tofu win. Mango mochi win. Everything else, not so good. Cheers.

I went here with my girlfriend and another couple this past Saturday. We had a great time the food great and relatively cheap I think for two couples - under $100. The service was good. I split a Globalization platter which is a Huge 12pcs assortment of sushi, spider roll, dancing eel, spicy salmon roll, tuna roll. A couple other ones things we ordered that were good were the Love for Tuna which is Tuna avocado topped with fresh tuna & crispy shallots. Also the Eggplant roll was really good, and the Tofu. The service was good. The setting was good. It is BYOB, which I always feel is a plus. Very nice dinner.

I LOVED the homemade pickles here, but the sushi wasn't my favorite. The roll cuts were smaller than a lot of places I've been, which I actually liked. They're easier to pick up and eat, but the taste was a little bland for me. We did get to sit outside which was a plus! They had a great menu selection, too, so I'd like to try some other things on their menu.
