Jared & I decided to hit up Bubblefish for a late lunch on an easy Sunday afternoon. We both had the spot bookmarked for quite some time and were happy to finally give it a shot. For those looking for the short review - its worth trying and a must if you like sushi. Jared got one of the roll specials while I ordered the Chirashi. We both had a drink - Jared a tea drink while I had a milk shake. So the Chirashi wasn't quite what was pictured, but was damn close. Every bit of fish was fresh and flavorful. While it alone did not fill me up, I didn't finish it needing to eat more. The Guava Banana Milk Shake was huge! The banana wasn't overpowering but there was only a small hint of guava. Jared's Spicy Maki Combo was sizable, forcing him to take a few pieces with him. Service was on point and the place was extremely clean. I was also surprised how big it was inside - I'm not saying don't make reservations on busy times, but they do seat a lot. Again, check them out, especially if sushi is your thing. read more

Spontaneous and quirky. I wouldn't come here expecting quality sushi or drinks, I was fairly disappointed honestly. But I'm giving 3.5 stars because Bubblefish stands out in Chinatown and is creative with their revolving changes in their weekend menu selection -- Sushi burger?! Strange, yet... appealing. Is it good? Will let you know once I try it. Worth trying: - Tuna or Salmon Poke $13 (cubed salmon or tuna of choice, mixed with their special sauce, rice, avocado, fried onions, and other deliciousness) - M-F special, 11-3PM, two rolls for $7.95 Disappointments: - Powder flavoring for the drinks - Very slow service, much less than the typical Chinese speed in Chinatown Note: $15 minimum for credit card read more

Bubblefish - Salmon poke - Taiwanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Leaving the Greyhound station coming back from New York, we were tired, achy and hangry. This place has been open for quite awhile, but it wasn't until then (last year), that my boyfriend and I finally got to try it out. One of the places we happened to come across on a whim. Best whim ever. I couldn't think of a better place to satisfy my hunger and sushi cravings after my tiring commute from New York. The decor in this place is modern and comforting. They even serve their sushi on a wooden platter which even adds to the aesthetic more. The sushi is fresh, and everything else that you would want from sushi. Not to mention the prices are very reasonable and they offer great deals for three rolls. They not only sell sushi, but they also sell other dishes as well such as rice, ramen, and almost any other Asian dish you could think of. The drinks are delicious and largely portioned, some of them come in a huge glass which is more than enough for one person. This place is now one of our go-to sushi spots and we will keep returning! read more

This place is a staple for my friend group, if we are clueless on where to go we simply go here! Everything is so cheap and tastes great if you are on a budget I would go here! The only complaint is they sometimes run out of menu items; oftentimes being the teas/drinks but I wouldn't go here for that anyways. Personal Favorites- Spicy Crab roll, Eel avocado roll, Taiwanese salt baked chicken, calamari, and the Pineapple chicken fried fried (great for picky kids). All the Onigiri items are good too! read more

I was pleasantly surprised with my second visit at Bubblefish. I went for my friend's birthday as a squad of 3, and we ordered entirely way too much food (in the best way possible.) The service was nice, but there were a couple improvements I could suggest. For example, we're 3 people we ordered the peking duck style pork belly, which are basically tasty pork buns. The problem is there were only two, making it a little awkward to split 3 ways. Otherwise I don't have any complaints. We also had the sushi for 3 people and it was very generous. Two pieces of sashimi and one of nigiri of each type of fish. read more

Came here with my fiancée on a Wednesday around 5pm - plenty of seating and the staff was eager to have us. After rummaging through the endless pages of yummy drinks they offer- we settled on a winter melon with salted froth and a Bubblefish milk tea. The winter melon (which was a suggestion from the waitress) was like golden heaven with salted clouds- truly a stand out performance. The milk tea was average in my book. For apps we got the salted chicken- extremely disappointed. From the other reviews it looked great- but it was a bit soggy and didn't have enough crunch. Not worth it, nothing particularly special As far as sushi we got the suggested dragon and Marilyn Monroll and the sweet potato roll. The dragon was a bit dry and underwhelming for me- not enough flavor and had the right plating just not enough taste. Marilyn Monroll with the charred fish was incredible - had a fresh seafood taste with that extra crunch, loved it. Overall- I'd be back for the drinks and a select few of the sushi, I would skip the apps. read more

Decided to order here for lunch for the first time. I was not impressed... The Phoenix shrimp onigiri was ok - TeaDo makes better onigiri but maybe that's because they give a spicy srirachi sauce to accompany it. Bubblefish's onigiri was kind of dry. I also ordered the lunch special - pick two sushi/maki rolls for $7.95. The spicy salmon was Delish! The shrimp tempura, on the other hand, was weak; it kept falling apart, it wasn't rolled tight enough. The actual shrimp was pretty tasty though. I also ordered a medium lychee green tea with tapioca, which cost $3.25 plus an extra $.50 for the tapioca- again, I'll compare the drink to TeaDo, which offers free tapioca with all of their drinks. At TeaDo, I could order a large green tea with tapioca and for instance, mango jelly for $4.50. That's a drink plus two toppings! In any case, despite my disappointing lunch today, I'll go back but only to try their sushi and maybe, desserts (only because I have a sweet tooth) Ok...came back so I updated my review to an extra star. I had their tuna and avocado sushi, which was Delish! I'll come back! read more

Stumbled upon this place when looking for a BYOB ($5 bottle fee) in Chinatown. We were pleasantly surprised with the extensive menu and overall vibe. I started with a HUGE, tasty miso soup and my friend ordered the seaweed salad. We asked for an additional appetizer recommendation, and the waitress suggested the spicy edamame. My friend doesn't love spicy food, but the waitress assured us that it wasn't too spicy... at first she was right, but once we got halfway through, it became too spicy for my friend's liking. Overall, the edamame was just OK. For the entree, my friend ordered the tonkatsu don and I had the spicy maki combo. The tonkatsu don was a huge portion and really tasty. I even took an order to go, which held up it's crispiness and tastiness later in the evening. The sushi was good... the spicy salmon and spicy tuna were good, but the I'd pass on the spicy [imitation] crab. Overall a solid BYOB spot with lots of options. I'd definitely come back and would love to try the bubble tea next visit! read more

What I thought would be a gimmicky place actually held its own. Really enjoyed my time here with a couple friends. Good, quality food and good bubble tea. Modern, sleek, comfortable interior good for small groups. They're open late! The bubble tea selection is plenty, sizes large, with the standards and unique flavors like Sweet Rice Milk tea, containing fermented rice grains that are almost reminiscent of wine. It balanced the sweetness of the drink...I recommend for something different. Everyone at the table enjoyed their boba drinks. I appreciated that they didn't skimp on the bubbles, and they were cooked perfectly. Pleasently surprised by the quality of the food. We enjoyed a sushi burger, volcano chicken, and eel onigiri. A little pricey for chinatown, but at least worth it. Service was fairly friendly. Will be back! read more

Bubblefish - Sweet Rice Milk Tea with tapioca - Taiwanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Very lovely spot! The atmosphere is very chill, they have fun seating options, and the service is very friendly. I came here for dinner and there are a lot of fun snack-y items to choose from. The items we tried were the Taiwanese salt baked chicken, 2 onigiris (pork sung and eel & avocado), the Marilyn Monroll, and a slice if green tea crepe cake for dessert. I wouldn't say the food is mind-blowing, but it was pretty tasty. My favorite was the salt baked chicken, which had an interesting flavor and was very tender while crispy on the outside. The Marilyn Monroll was also a solid sushi option for the price, though I have had better sushi at higher-end sushi places in town. I was a bit surprised by the pork sung onigiri, because I've never had pork sung like the one here, which was drier/crumblier/saltier than I'm used to. I ended up liking the eel & avocado onigiri better. I also felt the green tea crepe cake was a bit dry - as if they made it a couple days before. I think the main attraction of this place is the extensive tea and milkshake menu, and I think they nailed it. I don't know how many times I'd have to go there to try all of the flavors, but they have hot tea sets, bubble tea, sweet teas with milk foam, etc... they all look very delicious. I had the peach green tea with sea salt froth, and it was novel and great! I am tempted to come back and have an all-liquid meal next time - bubble tea, hot tea, and a milkshake. read more

Bubblefish is a great restaurant that offers quite a bit of everything: if you want sushi rolls, sashimi, donburi bowls, misc. hot appetizers and dishes, or even ramen, this is the place to go. Their special drinks menu is super extensive - they have all kinds of speciality drinks that range from boba tea, regular tea, yogurt drinks, milkshakes, jelly drinks, and more. They were unfortunately out of the lavender milk oolong which I initially tried to order, and I feel like this is probably a popular drink choice. When I was here, I got The Force Awakens coffee milkshake with chocolate which was very good (actually not very sweet which was perfect), two onigiri (sweet potato and eel) two rolls (the TGIFresh Roll and Out of Control Roll), fried oysters, Taiwanese Beef Stew Noodles, and the lunchbox deal with teriyaki lamb. It was way too much food but my partner and I definitely could at least have leftovers to last us for a whole other dinner! My partner ordered the fermented rice oolong boba, and it's got that shot of liquor kind of taste to it from the fermented rice, so really make sure to mix it in well and sip it along with the rest of the tea (we accidentally sipped initially from the rice settled at the bottom, oops!) Everything was really good: starting with the rolls, they were average priced but definitely huge and really delicious. We honestly filled up just on that. The onigiri were great, and Bubblefish actually had a nice variety and some of the biggest and tastiest ones I've had in Chinatown. The Taiwanese beef noodles were something new that I really enjoyed, and the beef was cooked and marinated really well. The lunchbox was slightly disappointing - we only got 4 tiny pieces of lamb with our box, and I didn't see how this was worth the money at all. It was well cooked but definitely tiny portion-wise. We did enjoy the tempura it came with though, and the California rolls in it were fine but nothing special. The fried oysters were fried to perfection and were really interesting (think takoyaki, but oysters instead of octopus pieces). Overall it was a good experience, and a solid place to bring others when you don't know what you want to eat and want a ton of options at good quality. It did end up being pricey, and that definitely could be because we just ordered so much food, but I think comparatively speaking you could take half of what we spent and spend it elsewhere for the same amount of food in other Chinatown restaurants. It felt a little pricier than average. The ambiance is cute in the front part of the restaurant, but we were seated in the back in a more secluded, dark part with not a whole lot going for it. Service was great, and we're thankful for the waiters who were extremely patient with us just truly not knowing what we wanted. read more

Let me start with the interior, which was nice and spacious. Went to eat here with a friend on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy or loud. The service was sufficient, not too attentive but they didn't forget about us either. We ordered the edamame, which was good but a bit too greasy. The Takoyaki we ordered was great, and I usually order it from here but as take out. The chirashi we ordered was alright but the fish in it was not amazing. The spicy girl roll I ordered was also pretty good but the text contrast was not that great and the temperature of the whole roll was pretty like warm which wasn't too appetizing. The chicken teriyaki bento box my friend ordered was average like any other bento box, but the portion size was really nice and the tempura batter was very nice and crispy. read more

Sushi was absolutely yummy and fresh. I ordered a bunch of rolls ranging from the simple tempura to the specialty angry dragon. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Because it was takeout, we didn't have the sauces on the actual sushi so that was a little inconvenience but it was cool experimenting with the different sauces and seeing how they stated on each piece. I also ordered the ramen. It was pretty run of the mill. It definitely wasn't the star of the takeout, but it did get get me full lol. Overall? I would be back to try out some more sushi! read more

I've been to Bubblefish plenty of times. It's delicious, consistent, and the service is great. This time, I got the Marilyn Monroll, White Tiger roll, and Tuna Princess roll, with fatty tuna sashimi. The Marilyn Monroll is a favorite and I always order it when I'm here. Keep in mind that the photo of the sashimi is two orders. The White Tiger roll, I think, is a new sushi roll and I did enjoy itThe fatty tuna is smooth, but I wouldn't say it was worth the money. I also recommend trying the Very Mango bubble tea drink. It's huge and can be easily split between two people. The edamame, takoyaki and Taiwanese Salt Baker Chicken are all good appetizers. read more

Bottom Line: Menu has a lot of items to choose from. I love the sushi- great combos. They also have boba. The rolls are big, so I wouldn't go overboard. Food: Delicious! I had the sushi and my friends had poke bowls. The poke bowls are HUGE--- hailing from Cali, I didn't expect that. That being said, they're different from the ones I'm used to ingredients wise as well. I really enjoyed my sushi-- it was fresh and had a good combo of flavors. Atmosphere: Nice inside, but super casual. Service: Our server was really patient with us being that there are a lot of options in the menu. I love that he had recommendations like THAT. Not a fan of: Garlic Edamame Yummmmm! read more

Bubblefish - Godzilla Roll (with salmon instead of spicy tuna) - Taiwanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My friends and I were splurging a little, so we went out for sushi, and we were pretty impressed! All of our rolls came out on the trays that you see in my pictures, so they are perfect for sharing! The sushi was great, but the fried chicken and seaweed salad were what really made me happy! The chicken was so soft and filling, and I definitely didn't expect a salad with as much flavor as that one had! The speed of a revive was pretty normal, and more importantly, we all left stuffed, so I'm counting the visit as a win! Concerning price, we ordered two more (cheaper) rolls on top of what you see in the pictures. There were four of us, and it came out to about ~$20 each if memory serves, which could be better but isn't too bad I suppose. Would recommend if you're around Chinatown! read more

A coworker and I stopped by here for an afternoon lunch. Long story short, food is amazing but the wait is quite atrocious. When we entered the restaurant, there were only three tables average around 3 persons at each table. With this in mind, we thought that food would come quick...boy, were we wrong! I ordered an item from the specials which is basically sashimi, bonito flakes, and fried onions topped on a bed of white rice. My coworker ordered chirashi. About 20 minutes into the wait, we investigated what was going on and found out from the waitress that the chefs had to prepare for a large party. Had we been informed about this, we may have picked a different place. For two entrées, it took a whooping 45 minutes to arrive and that is unacceptable. Customers should at least be informed that the wait will be longer due to special circumstances. Now that we talked about the wait, lets get to the food and really the only reason why I gave this place three stars rather than one. The food deserves praises and the arrangement is truly Instagram worthy. The salmon is creamy and buttery, the sirarcha sauce tip toes the delicate balance between creamy eggy-ness and savory spiciness, the fried onion and the avocado creates a wonderful contrast between cholesterol clogging goodness and heart healthy nuttiness. I thought the fried onion balances out the overall creamy texture of the dish and gave it bit of a "bite". Overall, if you have the time and aren't starving for good food, this is the place for you! If you're starving or don't have much time, try somewhere else! read more

Bubblefish - Wonderful dish, but very long wait! - Taiwanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ez five star. Nice location but the entrance isn't so obvious. That's probably I haven't ever been here in the past couple years living around. Atmosphere is nice with some quieter edm. Service is good. The reason I came in is I wanted to try something different, so I ordered the salmon rice burger, the mango drink, the spicy edamame and the grilled salmon head. Salmon burger is very interesting. I actually asked them how people eat it. Well some people eat it by cutting it into quarters but I just grabbed and devoured. The texture is GREAT. Very nice fit among rice, the crispy thingy and the salmon. The salmon is neither like sashimi nor grilled. It's more like the ground salmon you get in a sushi roll. Avocado is always good too. Try not to squish too hard on the burger as the content is very soft and can fall out easily. Mango drink was good too. It was HUGE. I drink cold beverages very slowly so I ordered the other dishes. Spicy edamame was definitely interesting. It was spicy with some garlic slices. Indeed a very strong smell as told by the server. I loved it. Would be a nice complement to a special sushi roll. Bbq salmon head, you can't just find it on the menu of every Japanese restaurant. The great thing about salmon head is the tenderness of the meat by the fish bone. A little overcooked to my taste, but it does then provide a good spectrum of meat tenderness. Skin is a bit too hard to chew. I did not agree with their selection of the dipping sauce. It was too sour for such a tender and slightly sweet meat. The lemon slice on the side was enough for me. Overall, GREAT food, helpful server, great location. I went in on Saturday afternoon around 6, not too crowded and immediately got a seat. The Taiwanese appetizers on the menu look great too. Would come back. Would recommend. read more

This place is super cute. Got seated right away by the window. We ordered the salmon burger and out of control roll. The salmon burger was very flavorful and the fish was fresh, definitely something I will return to order again. The out of control roll was pretty good, there was a part of the roll that was lightly fried.. could be been a bit cruncher to give it a bit more texture. Overall pretty good, will definitely visit again ! read more

Now when it just comes good food and good service, I have to rate Bubblefish 5 stars... I've been here several times and each visit is just consistent with happiness all around. I luv, luv, luv this place with all my heart... The food is always just top notch, I honestly have not tried one thing that I didn't like... I can say that I have not sampled the raw food here as that's just not my thing but I luv the cooked selections... Some good suggestions for you is the lamb and beef skewers... They have this amazing cumin blend of seasoning that just elevates the meats... Another one of my ultimate favorites is the Unagi Don... now I've tried eel at several places but they just get it right here... Not a very large portion and just the right amount of sweetness that doesn't over power the dish... Now this review wouldn't be complete without talking about the drinks here... Once I find something I luv, I tend to stay put and the Very Mango shake is just what I need for a refreshing treat.. If you luv the taste of pure mango, then you won't be disappointed... These are some of my favorite jewels from this place but I don't think you could go wrong with any selection here... read more

Came here specifically because of the recent blurb in the Inquirer from Craig Laban about their Taiwanese Salt Baked Chicken. I guess "advertising" does work! Overall, I was happy with my pretty expensive take-out lunch. The chicken was delicately crispy even after a walk back to work. It was nice and light and had a pleasant aftertaste with the different spices used to make the batter. For $5.95, you get a decent sized portion. The Angry Dragon roll consisting of Shrimp Tempura, Spicy Tuna, Mango, Spicy Crab, and Yuzu Miso Sauce was very good. The pieces were large and flavorful. Very good sushi for about $12. What I hated and did not finish was my Three Musketeers Bubble Tea. The bubbles of Jam, Grass, and Fig were just fine, but the tea itself I felt like I was drinking crushed flowers with a shot of perfume. This was just bad for me and a waste of about $6. Bubblefish was great to try out and I'd recommend for a nice lunch. I'll probably avoid the teas next time or try something less fancy. Service was nice and friendly. They directed me to a table to wait for my meal to go. $25 for take-out lunch. A little high, but the sushi and chicken were very good and worth it! read more

I ordered a takeout 4 Jumbo Sweet Shrimp, a roll, and a sashimi, I waited 30 minutes for the order to be completed and they gave me 1 shrimp instead of 4. It was a good thing I checked it when they gave it to me or else I would have just received 1 Shrimp for the price of 4. So I had to wait another 30 minutes for the remaining 3 Jumbo Shrimps. I am not satisfied with this management, waste of time, and waste of money. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Philly, everything on the menu is delicious especially the sushi. My go to sushi is the out of control roll which is fried and has cream cheese in it. It's super delicious great to share or if you want it all to yourself it's definitely filling. The only reason I rated three stars instead of five is because they no longer serve drinks besides soft drinks and tea, ever since the beginning of the pandemic which is sad because the drinks used to be so freaking delicious. They also take a really long time if you're ordering take out, you have to order like an hour and a half in advance. read more

While driving by this place, I saw the name and thought it looked familiar. As soon as I looked it up on Yelp, I knew why I've heard of this place: Sushi.....BURGER. Once we finally got to try this place out, I looked over the menu, with the intention of getting the sushi burger. While the rolls and kitchen entrees sounded lovely, nothing seemed to blow my mind like the sushi burger. As an appetizer, we ordered the medium size (6 pieces) of the crispy wings. They weren't terrible, but they also weren't amazing. They seemed, and tasted, like a better version of chicken wings you can get at a Chinese take-out restaurant. I don't regret trying it. When the sushi burger finally came, it looked magnificent. It looked fairly small, but when you pick it up, it's heavier than it looks. From my first bite, to my last bite, the sushi burger completely blew me away. I love sushi, and I love burgers, and now I can say I love Bubblefish's sushi burger. The sushi burger is made up of ahi tuna (I think?), spicy tuna, and I believe spicy salmon. It is topped with avocado, and between two rice buns with seaweed. They offer a variety of desserts and bubble teas, but I was way too full at the end of my meal to try any of that. I will definitely be coming back here when I visit Philly again. read more

Amazing. If you're looking for a clean, tasty Japanese restaurant you can't go wrong with bubble fish. Everything was really good. Food came out at a reasonable time. Prices were average. ordered Salmon sushi Burger, chicken teriyaki bento box, 2 rolls, edamame, pineapple fried rice, Taiwanese Salt Baked Chicken and Takoyaki. It was all very fulfilling and we didn't have room for dessert but hope to be back soon. Food: The sushi burger was BOMB. I was worried the rice would over power the salmon filing but it was the perfect combo. Thai tea bubble tea was good. It had a lot of tapioca bubbles which is always my favorite. We ordered the angry dragon roll and the marylin monroll they tasted fresh. Pineapple fried rice had to be sent back because there was barely any pineapple they kindly took it back and brought back a fresh plate with pineapple. Salted chicken was indeed salty. the chicken was tender and cooked perfectly. takoyaki was ehh. It was more of a fried ball barely any of the balls had any octopus. If you ask for extra sauce they will charge you. They also charge for a side of spicy mayo which i notice is becoming more common at most sushi places. Overall definitely recommend! read more

I haven't been to too many sushi resturants, but I can say this is one of my top favorite sushi spots. My favorite roll is the Marilyn Monroll and Tuna Princess (I believe thats the name of the roll). The price is reasonable, a roll of 8 from ranging $9.50-$12 for the more expensive "fancy" rolls. These rolls are pretty big, filled with lots of food. On weekends, the wait tends to be a bit long ranging from 15-30 min, but on weekdays there is little to none wait. Recommend coming here on weekdays, rather than weekends. read more

One word - underrated. Sure, the spotlight outside might be trying to attract attention, but for me, it was a calling. Overall, this is a chic and casual japanese restaurant with comfortable seating, upbeat and sick music, an impressive menu, and late hours (open till midnight, 1 AM on weekends). Let's start with the drinks. There are various "bubblefish specials", from which I tried the lavender oolong milk tea. It was delicious, substantial, and the boba was soft and chewy. They also use lactaid milk for their drinks (shout out to all the lactose-intolerant peeps). There are at least 3 pages of drink options to choose from, ranging from oolong teas, black teas, green teas, hot teas, juices, milk shakes, and smoothies. While it was just my first outing, looking at the other drinks from surrounding tables, I was tempted to order more... For food, I tried the tonkotsu don, taiwanese beef noodle soup, and a couple of specialty sushi rolls. The tonkotsu don is a helluva dish - you get a big pork cutlet katsu (perfectly crunchy on the outside with juicy meat) upon a bed of white rice sitting in a castiron. Great value meal at $12 and filling. The beef noodle soup was rich and had great flavor. However, they use thin beef slices (which were kind of tough) instead of the traditional beef chunk cubes. The signature sushi rolls have plenty of flavor, mainly because they often come with tempura, some avocado or fruit, and a miso or spicy mayo sauce. Of note, they also have "Bubblefish boxes" (around $13-14), which come with a protein teriyaki of your choice, with california roll, shrimp and vegetable tempura, vegetables, and rice. I saw a few tables that ordered these boxes, and they looked massive! I would definitely check this place out, there is bound to be something on the menu to make a great meal for anyone! read more

Bubblefish is the rare place where I actually choose rolls over sashimi. That's because the rolls are inventive and strike the right balance of flavor, texture, and color. My personal favorites are the Bubblefish Roll and Marilyn Monroll. I have tried the sashimi, appetizers, and various entrees and have not had anything I would actually order again. Most things were just okay and some almost bad. That's why it's rolls for me every time. The milk tea is also solid. Let's be real. Sometimes you just want rolls instead of real sushi! When that happens go to Bubblefish. read more
