Quite possibly one of my new favorite sushi places in Philly! Came in for a casual dinner, table of 4 on a Friday night. Place was packed but we were seated immediately. We ordered several rolls, and as I looked around the restaurant, everyone's sushi was beautifully presented on special wooden blocks, and platters - 10/10 for presentation. To add, they have a wide selection of teas/bubble teas/smoothies to go with your meal. My favorite: THE VERY MANGO SMOOTHIE - highly recommend, it's a huge mug and it's great for sharing. We got the spicy maki combo, the shrimp tempura onigiri, the monster roll, the oyster ninja, and the eel avocado roll. ALLLLL FANTASTIC. Rice to fish ratio was perfection (I'm a huge sushi ratio fanatic - I like little rice and lots of content) It came in this huge bamboo/wooden disc platter, perfectly aligned and very picture worthy. Fish was FRESH and rolls were packed. The prices were all very adequate and fair, I'd say it was a bang for my buck. Overall, super pleased with my meal. Ladies who were serving with us, super nice and sweet. Super attentive to our table, I love that. I'd definitely be returning!! read more

never had rolls this good before in my life. the sashimi is amazing too. I go here almost every week

I would say I do take out half the time and eat in the other half with bubble fish. The food is usually good or at most mediocre and the spot for sushi cravings at their price. But the other day I ordered online so I could grab and go after a long day. The estimated wait time was 30 minutes for three rolls and an appetizer. I got there in 30 min and they said it would be a few minutes extra wait. It was almost 20 more minutes, meaning my order took a total of 50 min ish. They also had the order sitting on the table for a bit before realizing it was mine. When I got home, I realized the food lid was barely on and coulda slipped off. Yikes Z the cucumber and eel roll also had barely anything in it. everything else was okay. It's basically a coin flip for bubble fish- sometimes it's good sometimes ehh. I guess i just hit tails this time.... read more

We had an amazing time at Bubblefish. Interior was clean and modern. Sashimi was fresh and the Chef's special roll was tasty. Everything was nearly perfect. After more than a year of not able to dine in, it felt like pure bliss. Every piece of fish was taken lots of care of by the chefs and Bubblefish is one of our tops. read more

My boyfriend's uncle recommended this place to him because he said that they have the best sushi burgers. We both really like sushi, so we figured we had to try it. It's SOOO good. We tried both the Salmon and the Tuna Burger. They basically have rice buns with a sheet of seaweed and then a bunch of filling. While the salmon one was good, the tuna one was amazing. The tuna was perfectly done and and seemed like it was seared on the side and was paired so well with the crab, avocado, sauces, etc. The fried onion also gave it more texture. I am literally drooling writing this review. We also tried the Mars sushi roll, which I really liked but my boyfriend wasn't as much of a fan of since he doesn't love cream cheese. Overall, 11/10 and would definitely come back for that tuna burger and to try some of their drinks!! read more

Bubblefish - Tuna Burger - Taiwanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My friend and I shared the tuna burger and the mango milkshake, in all honesty, I wish we didn't share... CAUSE I WANTED IT ALL! First off the mango milkshake had yogurt in it and it was the most interesting twist on a milkshake I've ever tried. Perfect icy consistency and refreshing, it wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be for a milkshake. I am very much drooling thinking about it. The tuna burger was the best and my most favorite thing I've tried on a food journey in Philly. I was originally attracted to the fact that it was so unique and instagrammable. When I actually took a bite I understood why everyone recommended the burger. The rice vinegar in the rice bun coupled with fried onions and spicy tuna inside the burger was absolute heaven. I cannot explain... I really wished that I got a video of the contents inside the burger. Seaweed, avocado, fried onion, tuna fillet, spicy minced tuna, sesame, carrots ... omg I need to stop. Guys, just try. read more

I like to consider myself something of a sushi fanatic. I would say aficionado, but that implies that I have some sort of training. That being said, I like to think I can identify good sushi from mediocre sushi from downright awful sushi, and this sushi was amazing. We were seated as soon as possible and the waitstaff was excellent and very attentive. My husband and I, a party of two, ordered takoyaki and chilled oolong milk tea with sea salt froth (both of which were excellent), and took our time perusing the menu. The waitress was extremely patient. When we finally decided on our order, it was out within 15 minutes and was fantastic. I ordered the Tuna Princess roll while my husband ordered the Ninja Oyster Roll, and we both highly recommend trying the sushi on the "Signature Rolls" page. Each one introduced unique flavor combinations, giving a more modern take on the traditional dish. All in all, this was a wonderful experience and I am running out of synonyms for the word "great." We will absolutely be back to explore more of the menu. read more

First time ever going here and I was v pleased. We were freaking starving when we finally walked into a half full Bubblefish on a Sunday afternoon (thankfully didn't have to endure the infamous long waits). The place is modern and classy (worry not, you can still dress casual). The service was very attentive and fast. LOVEDDD the seats - so comfy! For food we ordered two special rolls, the monster one and the Marilyn one. For appetizers we ordered the spicy garlic edamame and the veal with black pepper sauce. Lastly we ordered the salmon sushi burger. Even though we came here for sushi.... the veal might have been my favorite part. Holy ishhhhh, it was so tender and rich - I'm salivating as I remember it. The spicy garlic edamame is also a great appetizer. The sushi was really good and filling. I think I might have liked the Marylin better but it was cool to have oyster in the monster roll (I freaking love oysters). The salmon sushi burger, ngl, I was a little disappointed. I'm a rice fiend but that was toooooo much rice. I don't know what I expected considering that the buns would be rice but I somehow expected the dish to be more balanced, after all, it's not like bread overpowers a normal burger? But the rice was definitely overpowering the dish which is weird to say since it's not a spice or something of the like. The salmon and fillings inside burger were great though. Overall a great experience, great presentation, great service. read more

We had an amazing take-out experience at Bubblefish. Our server was really friendly and got our orders right away. We ordered the Taiwanese Salt Baked Chicken, Tuna Princess, and Sashimi Heaven. The Taiwanese Salt Baked Chicken was alright but I definitely recommend the Tuna Princess if you want to try something different. The food were reasonably priced and the food portion was perfect for two people. Took away a star for inaccurate menu pricing. Otherwise definitely worth a try if you are craving sushi and happen to be in Chinatown. read more

Came for dinner on a Friday night around 8pm for 2 people and was told it would be a 20min wait. Fine. It seems there was another table for 2 waiting before and they were clearing tables. A table of 5 comes in early for their reservation and was seated. Ok, I get it. Then a table of 5 walks in and was seated right away. What!? We just left after that. Service has gone down and the food is not that great to be treated like that. I'll happily spend money elsewhere. Bubblefish is just convenient. read more

Summary: good and reasonably priced food with slightly less than average service. I've been here a number of times now, both eating in and taking out. I typically get some sort of sushi dish, special, or appetizer. Chirashi: generous portions of fish for the price - about 12 pieces of sashimi! My husband's favorite is the white tuna (even though white tuna is not white tuna and is actually the cheapest thing ever...) Takoyaki: aka octopus balls. Quite the opposite of chirashi, they are very STINGY with the octopus (only about two 1cm tiny pieces in each ball) Poke bowl: is a regular order for me! Salmon or tuna option in a rice bowl Drinks: are high quality, but recommend ordering with less sugar because it is really sweet Service is very nice, but slow. If you order take-out, add about 15 minutes onto to the time they state so you don't end up waiting around. read more

The first time I came to this place I was on a date and the second time I came I took my mom and sister on a date and I must say I am in love! The food is fresh and amazing. Their tea options are bountiful and all so delicious! I have tried smoothies, hot tea, One of my favorite dishes is the miso salmon, it was perfection. We had a server named desiree (if you go ask for her)! She's super pleasant, knows the menu well and was able to help us with the decision making The dessert is also amazing, I ordered the banana split. It seems like they can also host parties where you can BYOB which is LITT!!! The menu is super diverse and i feel like everyone can find something to eat. read more

My boyfriend and I were visiting Philly for a few days and wanted to try as many resturants as we could so we decided to try takeout from a few places in the area with plans to eat everything at home. We stumbled into Bubblefish while walking Chinatown and wanted to try their orginal roll. We went up to the counter to order one roll and they told us it would be a 30 minute wait. I was confused at first since there were only two tables at the time and an empty counter where pick-ups would be. However, we assumed the chef might be on break and we were good with the timing since that gave us a lot of time to walk around and get takeout from other stores in the neighborhood. Fast forward 45 minutes later, we got drinks, desserts, and more food to try out around the area but when we went back to Bubblefish, there were a few bags of pick-up orders on the counter but none were for us. I asked the girl at the cashier and she was super sweet, saying that the order will be ready in 5 minutes and we can wait on the red couches in the back. At this time there was about three or four tables that looked like they were either in the middle of their meal or finished with their food. After around 20 minutes, I asked about the order again and that's when they started making the order and we were out within 5 minutes. The roll itself was pretty good and the girl at the register was super sweet. Maybe next time we will try dining in or ordering online because the wait was ridiculous for one roll. read more

Thank goodness this is my first and only time visiting this place. On their menu, everything I wanted to order they were out of 90% of the menu. No worries but please update your menu then. I tried to order: - 3 types of oysters - all out so no clue -salmon belly - all out so no clue -avocado smoothie - all out so no clue -iced oolong tea - all out so no clue I ended up asking what do you have so ended up with -lobster roll (decent a little decadent) -taiwanese minced pork fried rice (nothing amazing) read more

I'm not a sushi person, which is probably what they're best known for, but my friend wanted to come here. I wasn't too impressed with the Taiwanese Minced Pork with Rice, because it was really dry and felt like it was just thrown together. They didn't even give a full egg! read more

Bubblefish - Taiwanese Minced Pork with Rice - Taiwanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Portion sizes are ENORMOUS. When you dine in, they only let you get large bubble teas and they're served in pint-sized glasses (like beer). After drinking 2/3 of the glass, I got a medium to-go cup to take home and the remains filled up 2/3 of the medium cup -.- Woweeee! $10 for Tonkatsu Ramen was also really cheap. Again, the portion was huge with a ton of noodles and lots of char siu - really couldn't ask for more. I also appreciated that it came with half-boiled egg and wasn't extra. Our total bill was $62 after tax and tip and ordering calamari as an appetizer ($6), one sushi (Golden Scales $12), Tonkatsu Don ($11), Tonkatsu Ramen ($10), Oolong Black Milk Tea with Grass Jelly ($4.25+$0.50 for Grass Jelly) and Bubblefish Milk Tea with Tapioca ($4.25+$0.50). read more

How could I forget this? It's all a blur at that time. My girlfriend and I went there to meet her friend, who also had invited three more people. We showed up, exchanged greetings and introduced ourselves. We got to know each other as we looked through our menus. What's this? Salmon burger? Instead of typical buns, there was sushi rice? Unheard of! How strange! It's one thing I must try. I made the order alongside the peach black tea. We chatted some more as we waited. Finally, the "burger" arrived, and then I took a bite. It's unlike anything I ever had. It's sushi and burger combined with salmon and caramelized onion and a couple of more that I'd forgotten because we were so lost in the conversations. By the time we checked for time, the bus was about to leave in 15 minutes. As you could imagine the pain I had to go through when I scarfed the burger and downed the tea; I didn't have the time to appreciate each bite. Just as my girlfriend and I, laden with heavy backpacks and filled plastic bags in hands, were about to sprint for our ride, her friend quickly scrambled the group together for several photos, and the staffs were patient with us; I loved how they all smiled as we rushed ourselves. Truly, I must come back to visit this place once I have an opportunity! read more

Such a cute restaurant. We came during a random time between lunch and dinner so there was no one there and we were able to sit at the window with the window open. It was very enjoyable and relaxing.

Sushi, sushi, sushi...Bubblefish offers up lots of it along with items such as ramen, udon and some other rice dishes. But sushi is what they serve up here and they do it well. Their drink menu is extensive and is served in a large mug. Two people can probably share a drink here. They use lactaid milk (most Asians are lactose intolerant) and black sugar in their drinks instead of processed white sugar. Black sugar contains molasses, potassium, iron, calcium. Healthier than white sugar. Here is what we ordered: Takoyaki - Octopus balls Sushi Burger Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup Tonkotsu Ramen My kiddo had so much fun diving into the Sushi Burger. It was a little messy to eat but they provide you with a sharp knife and fork. The buns are made of sushi rice. It's a pretty good size burger. Yes, this is more of a sushi restaurant and today we didn't order any, lol. We always love their food presentation, very pretty and everything is very tasty. We will keep coming back to try their other dishes. read more

I had an amazing anniversary dinner here with my girlfriend. The waiter sat us next to the kitchen so we could smell the fresh fish. It really helped enhance my experience by making me feel like I was dining on the seaside. The food was delicious and a very good price. 5/5 will have to come again next time I'm in town. read more

It's a hybrid boba/sushi cafe/restaurant/lounge. I went on a Sunday night and it was busy but we were seated right away. We had the eel avocado onigiri, the shrimp onigiri, the sushi and sashimi platter for 2, and the matcha milkshake. It was more than enough food for 2 and we didn't finish everything. Everything was good for what it was: casual sushi and basic boba. I've never gone to a sushi/boba place so it was nice having both but also weird because it's never served at the same place. It's not my first choice for boba in the area and it's not my first choice for sushi in the area. I'd come back if I was craving both sushi and boba at the same time but there are a bunch of better boba places and other sushi/Japanese options in the area. read more

Went here for a late lunch around 3 or so on Sunday. We order a mango milk shake, ramen, and their speciality salmon roll. For three people, it was around $25 per person. My other friends really enjoyed their meals and drinks. The server was fairly attentive. He came back to refill our water quite often but did not ask how experience was. Another server came and asked for him. They might have traded tables because I did not see him come back towards the end of out meal. The actual meal was nice. I have to say the mango milkshake and ramen were the highlights. Their portion are fairly large and was good. My friends and I were starving , so it was well needed. Peep this place out, overall I plan to come back. read more

A solid 3.5 for a 3/4 star performance on two separate occasions relatively close together. 4 stars for service and ambience, although the restaurant is a bit on the warmer side. Bonus points for 7% Yelp Cash Back if you have your card registered! Who/When: I came one time with a friend on a Tuesday night, we got a booth with a lovely overhead light. Our server was attentive. Food: We ordered a Very Mango drink and a matcha smoothie - both had great depth of flavors. The Very Mango had the popping bubbles that give a little splash of color when you take a sip of the smoothie concoction. It had a great mango flavor without being overly sweet. My friend's matcha drink had a strong and distinct matcha flavor. The takoyaki was nice and warm with a lovely mayo sauce and a good ratio of batter to the octopus. The tonkatsu don ($11.95) was not to disappoint. I think it was a beautiful cutlet that came in a nice skillet overlaying a pan of rice and egg. Each piece was thinly sliced and had a strong earthy flavor. Second time: Close to closing on a Saturday night with two others. I tried to order shaved ice but they were out :( Instead, I ordered the Taiwanese pop corn chicken $6 - each bite size was nice, salty peppery goodness. I do think the meat was a bit too sweet but was nicely tender. The tonkatsu ramen of my friend had a strong depth of flavor and definitely would recommend this over the miso flavor which was virtually bland. Tips/Takeaways: ++ to the Very Mango and Matcha smoothies ++ Takoyaki was good and I could see myself getting this again + Popcorn chicken was fine, but I think the sweetness outweighed the earthy tones I was looking for +++Tonkatsu don was definitely worth it as a filling skillet of food +Definitely Tonkatsu over Miso ramen if you don't have a dietary restriction -Would recommend return probably every 3-5 months for a casual plate of Taiwanese/Japanese food. They have an extensive menu and a chic interior with reasonable prices. read more

Covid review - Food - delicious. No arguments What went wrong - they didn't space out the guests among tables for the social distancing. We were the first table. Later they set two other groups of diners right next to ours while the rest of the restaurant was completely empty. We didn't finish the food and packed it to go. Won't be returning till covid is over. read more

Best prices and best sushi on the east side of Philadelphia - favorite place!! Great quick service and is perfect to eat in or take out

My first time here - we sat in the back area for a birthday party. It's BYOB (no corking fee) and we were able to bring a birthday cake for no extra charge! Off to a great start. We ordered a side of wings and edamame. Wings were okay - they were super crispy, but I didn't like the sauces that came with it - ranch and a sweet chili sauce. Edamame is standard - no complaints. My wife ordered the bento box and she devoured it - tempura fried veggies (great breadding), salmon with teriyaki sauce, rice, and a few maki rolls. Definitely best bang for your buck here. I ordered the shrimp tempura maki and the Marilyn Monroll - had to order for the clever name. both rolls were delicious. This is a nice new place in Chinatown that I hope stays open for awhile! read more

I remember when this place use to be in a small location on 10th street, and was more so a delivery or small-shop for sushi. It's now a bigger restaurant on Arch and 9th, which honestly is kind of away from all the other Chinatown restaurants. Mostly sushi dishes, but they also serve "combo boxes," ramen, and other unique dishes. They also have lots of different bubble tea/smoothie drinks. Of note, they are BYOB if you want to bring in your own alcohol. I did not go for the sushi when I came here, but instead I went for an avocado/eel Onigiri, which is like a sushi ball, their Sushi Burger, and their fried wings appetizer. All of them were pretty appetizing, but it was tough eating the sushi burger despite them giving me a knife to try to chop it up. However, I've never had a sushi burger, so it was rather unique. The wings are also a bit oily, but the spicy sauce was decent. The onigiri was honestly one of the better ones I've ever tried. My friend got the Chirashi, which was slightly disappointed and loaded with radish. Service was okay, but could be a little more attentive. Overall, I enjoyed the place, but probably wouldn't come back on my own unless a group of friends want to go. Pros: BYOB, Onigiri Cons: Meh food read more

This was a new try for me. I come to chinatown often to try new spots and I decided to give this one a try after it grabbed my attention from its attention grabbing signage out front. I was excited to try this spot. It was very chic looking inside with a bright environment that brought out an energy inside me large enough to eat an entire horse. The menu was an interesting take as it had solid wood covers, front and back. The menu was quite diverse and offered many different options. LOTS of drinks as well as abundant selections of sushi, ramen bowls, and don (an rice dish entree). Make no mistake that this is a Japanese restaurant---it offers quite the selection of the three dishes previously mentioned and so everyone will find something they want to eat here. I decided to eat big tonight and ordered the fried calamari and tonkontsu don (a crispy pan fried pork cutlet over rice to start. It did not take too long for the food to come out--a little over 10 min. The calamari rings were thick juicy pieces. Lots of mass and aesthetically very pleasing -- these came from a big squid. The thickness of the rings made it so they had some chew to it and but this was due to the size of the rings and not how they were made. Not my favorite but still very tasty! -- I finished them all :-) Quite the deal at only $7 The tonkotsu don was a beast of a dish and had a large pork cutlet over a stack of rice. Good dish if you are starving! The pork was perfect--the thickness and crispiness were just right. Umami satisfied for sure!!! $12 price. Average price for this dish here. I could not leave without trying the Very Mango... No way in hell. This drink was a BEAST. In fact all their drinks are massive works of art. I am thinking the size of the glasses for this and the bubble teas were at least 24 oz. What is a Very Mango you might ask? What makes this mango drink extra mango to deserve the term "Very" - a word that denotes more than just regular mango? Well...mango milk shake, orange juice, mango puree, yogurt pops. It's quite mango-y! I will definitely be adding this on my Chinatown list here in Philly. I only have a few spots that I visit regularly and so this place checked off many boxes during my visit. One thing to note -- $15 credit card minimum. That is a bit high but they do have an ATM at the entrance. Also, the bathrooms are individual style and were quite clean upon use. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try! You won't regret it. read more

*Really a 3.5 this visit because of a disappointing drink choice but solid bento box* Vibes: chill, trendy, fusion feels, very spacious BYOB Tasting notes: -Hot red bean milk tea: served in a big black mug; tasted very sweet, like the powdered milk tea with a good amount of small, soft red beans at the bottom; for me, a red-bean lover, this was disappointing, but I'm willing to try their other drinks! -Salmon teriyaki bento box: really enjoyed the salmon filet being lightly battered and fried with just a subtle coat of teriyaki, served over steamed cabbage; shrimp and vegetable tempura were generous in size per piece, definitely wished there was a bit more dipping sauce; large serving of rice was chewy and on the firmer side Other thoughts: -They do take card with a $10 minimum -I love that Bubblefish is essentially a bubble tea shop combined with a cafe serving both snack foods and full meal-sized dishes! read more

Solid sushi for a decent price. I tried the dynamite, bubblefish, and mango shrimp rolls and they are were all pretty good. Their mangos are a bit on the tart side, which I did not expect.

I didn't bother to eat the whole thing, being afraid I'll have a stomach ache. read more

I always find myself coming here for lunch. My go-to rolls for their lunch special are the eel and avocado/ shrimp tempura roll. Although this time my friend and I ordered the spicy tuna roll, which was not spicy at all, the eel and cucumber roll, the Marilyn Monroe roll, and the Spider roll in addition to my 2 go-to rolls. The spider roll and eel and cucumber roll did not disappoint, but the marilyn monroe/ spicy tuna roll did. Both rolls had tuna and i'm not sure if the tuna was the best because I got food poisoning that night. I am used to eating raw fish in poké, sushi, sashimi, etc. and this was the first time I got sick from it. Also, the marilyn monroe roll was quite bland and had a thick layer of rice. Overall, I enjoyed the food and will stick to the rolls that have cooked finish next time, just to be cautious. read more

Popped in for some quick boba while strolling through Chinatown. I didn't want to go to KFTea or ViVi's or TeaDo since we have them in NYC. A quick Yelp search led me to Bubblefish, which is a tea house and sushi bar! The cashier was super nice and directed me to a seating area to wait for my tea. Prices were reasonable and my boba tasted really fresh. The boba was very chewy and bouncy - I absolutely hate hard boba so this really hit the spot. Definitely a solid peach green tea boba! The dining area was pretty full for a random Wednesday night so maybe I'll come back for dinner one night during my time in Philly. read more

We originally just wanted bubble tea and snacks -we wanted a place where we could sit/chill, enjoy AC and grab some light food around 4pm since we were only visiting and it was a long hot day in Philly for us after exploring. We looked at the menu and everything looked so good and delicious. We ended up ordering more than we wanted: half dozen oysters, the mermaid roll, Taiwanese soft baked chicken, sushi & sashimi platter for two, 2 bubblefish milk teas and 1 passion fruit black tea for 3 girls. Our "snack" turned into a feast and we had to push our dinner reservations. The variety of dishes on the menu really got us. Everything was really tasty, the large bubble teas were so big and inexpensive for the size. The sashimi tasted fresh and pieces were thick. I was pretty impressed on the presentation of our food. We enjoyed this place and waiters were friendly and attentive! read more
