The place's food is delicious and consistent. The place is beautiful, and the staff are friendly. However, the food is kind of expensive, but I would still recommend for a quick lunch. read more

We ate so much because it was all so delicious. My party was seated right away and the food came quickly. The Onigiri was extremely tasty, I would order these again. If you like spicy try the Spicy Garlic Edamame. I think between everyone at the table we ordered one of every type of dish and they were all winners. The only issue was that the tea selection is overwhelming, but I had the waitress walk us through it. I honestly can not wait to go back next time I am in the city. read more

Great little shop for when you want to fulfil that sushi craving in Chinatown. Service is always good as well as the foods variety and quality. Do try one of their specialty drinks even if it's just a tea, they have a huge selection. Now this isn't a authentic Japanese restaurant but like I said, when you want a reliable spicy tuna roll and you want it in Chinatown, I'd come here read more

Delicious sushi- I love the vegetarian green peace roll, and the service is always super nice and fast.

I'll admit that at first it's hard to figure out the menu, but if you stick with it, it's definitely worth it. We had the oysters and bubble tea. Everything was great read more

The food was good but the servers were very rude and had an attitude. First of all the restaurant was empty and he asked me if I had a reservation mentions oh the wait might be 10 minutes.... me and my friends were like ok... a minute later we got seated and the waiter that led us to our table literally slapped the menus on to the table aggressively... read more

As an Asian college student, I have been to many bubble tea with my friends and family. However, I have never been to one as great as this one before. The environment is great and the way they design it is just fabulous. Just walking into their store gave me a nice feeling. Unless other bubble tea place where the light is always dim or dark, theirs' bright and welcoming. I doesn't make me feel like I'm going to a club or a bar. Other than bubble tea, they also have sushi and other variety choices of food. The food there is great and fresh. I got the tuna princess sushi and my friend got the sushi heaven. The server recommend me a special that they had which I also end up getting. The food did take a while to be serve due to the large amount of customers there, but it was definitely worth every second of the wait. The server were also very friendly when greeting me and delivering our food to our table. I couldn't ask for more from them. read more

Took my wife, Sofia there for her birthday as we are sushi lovers... Boys it's one of the best sushi place of all in Philadelphia! Very unique and one of a kind sushi place with excellent services and AWESOME menu none found elsewhere in Philly and NJ! Sofia had "Green Peace" which is a signature roll consisting of sweet potato tempura, asparagus, cucumber, mango, topped with sliced avocado and mango puree. I had "Tuna Princess" which consist of spicy tuna, avocado, topped with torched peppered tuna, honey wasabi and spicy mayo sauce. For drinks? You won't believe their list of dizzying array of tea infused hot or cold drinks with varying kinds that can't be found elsewhere. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I wish we had one in the DMV. I always try to make a trip here when I'm in Philly, because their sushi is absolutely delicious along with their bubble tea. Definitely one of my top sushi spots! I got the Winter Melon Green Tea with Sea Salt Froth and it comes in a huge mug! I couldn't even finish it in the restaurant. The boba was sweet and I can't believe that the sea salt froth would make a difference to the taste. Great combination. We got the mango shrimp roll, bubblefish roll, and the salmon godzilla roll. The presentation was beautiful and they all tasted awesome! Can't wait to come back again very soon. read more

This was a great late night bite to eat. Bubble tea was refreshing and the sushi was very delicious but the star of our meal was the sushi burger. It was like high with tuna and very satisfying just a little difficult with the rice as the bun but that was to be expected. Super happy we found this joint and some great food! read more

Im sure a couple of the dishes are good but the mango shrimp sushi was definitely not on that list. It was mostly mango and barely any shrimp. Least they can do is put equal part of mango and shrimp. I ordered the passionfruit yogurt drink and that tasted pretty good. Besides the fact that it was a little on the pricey side and I didn't have the option to pick medium or large. (All drinks ordered inside is one size and thats a large) However, I do plan to come back to try other items on the menu. I know now to not order the mango and shrimp sushi - definitely not worth it. read more

I guess the cat is out of the bag on this place and so unfortunately I have to downgrade one star again for Bubblefish. We come here all the time and never have had to wait more than a few minutes for a table. We never even thought to make a reservation in the past. We came Friday night and it was packed. I don't mind waiting but they need to get more organized in how they handle a wait. They took our name/number down and told us it would be at least 40 minutes, so we could go somewhere else to wait if we want. We decided to go to a nearby bar for a drink in the meantime. Under 20 minutes later, they call and say our table is ready. I let them know we still had to finish our drink and we would be there in 10 minutes. They argued on the phone that they can't hold our table that long. If they had told us 20 minutes, we never would have left in the first place. We then had to chug our beers and run back, which was unnecessarily stressful. They also have changed their BYOB policy and now are charging 5 dollars a bottle. This includes beer.. we had 2 beers and a bottle of wine and they wanted to charge us 10 bucks to open them. To change the policy in a matter of 2 months, not display it anywhere on the website, and then charge people is outrageous. It's just the principle. The food is still good and I can't say anything negative about that, but I just think they're getting a little big for their britches. They could do better by making the alcohol policy clear on their website and Yelp and organizing their wait times better. read more

So good we had to come back a second time on our road trip in Philadelphia! This is easily one of the best sushi places we've been to. Portion sizes are good as well - loved the sushi deluxe platter, and the Golden Scales roll. read more

Pretty good rolls! We got the eel avocado, TGIF, bubblefish, and Marilyn Monroe. We also got the salmon poke bowl to share between the four of us - I was a huge fan of the rolls, not a fan of the poke. It was dressed in something lemony or vinegary so it was quite sour. I think I would have enjoyed it much more without the sauce. However, fish was fresh and service was good. Would recommend if you're looking for sushi in the Chinatown area! read more

This place is always a go to for me. Definitely try the sushi burger OMG soooo bomb ^___^ where else can you find this ? I looooved the sea foam oolong tea (there's milk foam at the top and soooo good). The angry dragon, sunny side and eel avocado rolls are pretty good. The first two are more fancier than the third but all in all really good and filling. Service was great and the interior is really cute. OH and this is the only place that serves huge cups of boba :) can't go wrong with that. Come come come read more

FIRST TIME: I went to Bubblefish yesterday with my friends before we all went to work. We made it in time for the lunch special! I got Spicy Salmon Roll and the Chicken Roll. The sushi was not amazing but it was not bad, the Avacado was great though! I also ordered a drink called Green Tea with Lychee, that was the highlight of my meal. If you ever go to Bubblefish, a must try is their drinks! My friends got the Coffee and Mango drink and it was amazing as well! The waiter came back and forth asking if everything was fine which was good! But collected my friend's plates when I wasn't even finished yet which made me rush a little. The layout is very nice and calm. When I look at the staff area, there was no sort of smile or communication. When I go in a restaurant, I like to see staff talking to each other, smiling, and enjoying what they do. Rather than that, I would recommend this place to other people! SECOND TIME: The waiter did not give waiter out right away. She came to take our order and we had to ask for water. The waiter came and gave us the wrong order at first and gave us a Salmon Poke Bowl when I ordered a Tuna and Salmon roll. I got my Tuna Avocado roll and the avocado looks squished. They forgot my spicy mayo in which I had to ask for. The seaweed was really hard on the salmon roll. The spicy mayo was not spicy, it was more sweet. The Tuna avocado, one of it has no avocado on it just Tuna. My friends both got El and they both tasted multiple bones in it. One of my friend said "it made me choke". They gave us our tips and we payed and the waiters were talking to each other and one was on their phone and we were waiting for our change. The waiter walked over at one point and then walked back to waiter desk. We asked for change when we paid. The waiter took the money and went to cashier and did not give back our change until a couple minutes later. My friends and me were really frustrated. This place was not worth it this time I came. Contemplating if I should come back and write an updated 3rd review. read more

This was my first time going to this place after my friend said let's get sushi so I decided to give this place a go. The food on the menu is definitely priced reasonably especially for a restaurant located in Chinatown. I decided to choose the Sashimi Heaven and I can't believe how delicious everything was!!!! I will definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu as this sashimi platter was so tasty. The only reason why I gave the four stars was due to the drink I ordered tasted terrible. I ordered the red bean milk tea with herbal jelly. read more

The food that I've tried was DELISHHH.The mango bubble tea is the best thing on Earth along with the Tune Pòke omg. Tuna tacos--just gettem

The sushi quality is like a gas station. Sea urchin and oysters are not fresh. Save your money and go elsewhere.

The ambiance and service at this place are great. I feel like the menu can be a hit or miss, so it's all about knowing what to order. That being said, nothing on the menu (that I've tried) is really considered bad, just not necessarily my favorites. I definitely recommend the salmon tacos (so unique and so fresh every single time) and the unagi don! I crave both of these menu items so much every single time I come back to philly. You also can't go wrong with any of the sushi rolls because everything is super fresh! read more

The sushi rolls here are packed with fish and flavor. I got the TGI rolls and sashimi. Good size cuts of fish. The teas are good but the tapioca pearls were a bit soggy and old. I would definitely come back to try other rolls. read more

I will never try the take out order ever! Very bad experience again! They started processing my order when I arrived at pick up time! Last review: order pickup through yelp.com before 11:00am， called restaurant to confirm my order 30min prior the scheduled pick up time. However, when I arrived, the order has not been processed, I was asked to wait a little. 15 minuets passed, I went to front desk to check the status, they told me they would start working on my order soon.... total waiting time is 1 hour, very bad experience, no one apologized no water was provided while I was waiting. Bad service! read more

This would be a 4 star review, but I docked a point for the slow, occasionally forgetful service. This is a casual, fun restaurant that has variety of Chinese and Japanese food and extensive tea and boba menu. Sushi and the salt baked chicken are the keystones of the menu, along with the infamous sushi burger. The star of the menu is the mango drink!! It's a TALL glass of dreamy, creamy mango smoothie with mango chunks and yogurt popping boba. I get this everytime I'm here. The worst part of going to bubblefish is the service. Be prepared to wait at least 30-45 min for your food, and for parts of your order to be missing. Not sure what's going on in the kitchen, because even when I just come with one person, the food still arrives like 30 min later. I've been here around 5 times, and 2 of the 5 times they've mixed up my order or forgotten part of the order entirely. These two times are when we were waited on by a taller asian waitress with blonde hair. Next time I go, I'll probably try and avoid her. Shame about the service, because I really enjoy the food! read more

Ambiance: casual place for a Thursday night, I really liked the tables and sofa chairs we had Appetizers: I got the peach green tea with tapioca - the green tea was really good but the tapioca was just alright. I got the lamb skewers which were really good - the perfect balance of flavor and spiciness for me. My friend got the spicy edamame which were super addicting and would definitely order again. Entree: I got the TGIF roll which was alright, my girlfriend got the tuna princess which were absolutely amazing. We also got an extra roll (angry dragon) by mistake but they decided to give it to us on the house which was the icing on top. All the rolls were really good and decent portion for its price. This is definitely my go to place for sushi in Chinatown for its price and low key environment. I didn't have to make a reservation, it's BYOB, and the service was great. Would recommend it to anyone! read more

Bubblefish - I wish I remembered which took this was but it was very good! - Taiwanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Can't say enough positive things about this place. My kids like it. My Taiwanese parents like it. My non asian in-laws like it. Seriously. This place appeals to everyone!! Their food is decent and there's enough variety to keep the venue interesting and broadly appealing. Me? I'm personally obsessed with their desserts and drinks, namely their milkshake with tapioca... and I can't wait till they start making shaved ice. This place is pretty solid and appeals to quite a broad age range and tastes!! read more

I've been to Bubblefish twice in the last month. I stumbled across this restaurant while walking around Chinatown. Most restaurants in Chinatown are hole in the wall looking, but Bubblefish has major curb appeal. It's nicely decorated inside. The menu is filled with different sushi rolls and bubble teas. If you're lucky, the Sushi burger will be a special on the menu . There's lots of different fun items inside it. I ordered it without the crab. It's so amazing! Today I came here for sushi. As usual the food was fantastic. The prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly. I will continue to bring more people here. read more

One star because of the experience (which I'll get into in a second, believe me you want to keep reading) TL;DR, this place BRUTALLY killed a MOUSE in front of my friends and me (using 3 different methods - fire, stomping, whacking with a broom) Would have been a 2 stars regardless because of the food. #1 red flag was the fact that it was cash only bc the credit card machine was being 'shipped' from California, ok fine bc it had at atm machine there. #2 was when we asked about the Unagi vs fresh water eel don, the waiter said the menu is messed up but they're actually the same item (?) the Chinese translation definitely wasn't the same and they're very different types of fishes. #3 we asked for the ginger milk tea and was told we could get 30% sweet but then the waiter comes back and says they can't do it bc they use a ginger sugar (lol, ok) #4 they asked if we needed our tea pot to be refilled and we said yes but the waiter took it away and never came back with it until we asked multiple times. ANYWAYS, with all of that said, the food just wasn't good, I had one piece of the eel and stopped eating and chucked it. The chirashi was just ok as well as the Taiwanese chicken. The calamari was too breaded and couldn't taste the squid inside, the rolls were too small and the waffle with green tea wasn't good. My friends and I really have NOTHING good to say about the place despite us going over the food/any redeeming factors over and over. Now to the finale, this is what happened: 1) Friend notices a mouse in little space between outside and inside door 2) We get grossed out but took a picture of it and immediately notified the management 3) Management came over to take a look and ignored it for a good ten mins 4) Some bald guy goes outside with an iPhone (for light) and a FLAME THROWER (the kind you use to melt the top of creme brulee and tries to burn the poor mouse (WHY COULDNT YOU JUST USE A BROOM TO SHOO IT OUT as the first solution instead of trying to light it up?!) 5) Man lights up the mouse's tail but mouse is too scared to leave (duh) 6) Man opens up the door and starts to use a broom and mouse runs back and forth and doesn't go outside bc it's hiding behind the ATM machine 7) Another guy comes out with a broom and tries to shoo it out and still it's not budging. 8) Finally mouse runs and the bald man traps it in the corner with his foot. Then he STOMPS ON IT 3x!!!!!! Instead of holding it with foot and just shoo it with the broom bc he was so pissed. 9) We record all of this and get super grossed out and sad that we thought they killed this little animal unnecessarily BUT THERE IS A TWIST AND IT GETS WORSE. 10) Other man tries to sweep mouse out to street and mouse starts trying to run bc it turns out that the mouse was only seriously injured and not dead 11) THE MOUSE IS LITERALLY ON THE STREETS ALREADY, the bald man chases after it and whacks it repeatedly AS HARD AS HE CAN until it's dead. 12) The mouse is dead with its guts on the street now and he sweeps it to the mounds of garbage bags. PURE Brutality? I'm not a mouse lover but this story sounds pretty shitty, right? HEY BUT GUESS WHAT THE STORY DOESNT END HERE. 13) The second man comes into the restaurant and has the NERVE to come over to us and says VERBATIM 'hey, the mouse came from the outside, not the inside. I saw you recording, can you delete...' I CUT HIM OFF right away. I said also verbatim 'what's on our phones is our property and we will do what we wish with it, please give us the check' Ok #1 what makes you think you don't need to apologize for us witnessing all of that? #2 why do you think you can ask us to delete our videos and pictures?! Doesn't even make sense!!! THEN ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS, they gave us a measly 10% off our bill thinking it'd be ok. We aren't asking for a free meal nor did we ask for any of this but if you're gonna comp anything, 10% is nothing. Please. A measly small apology when we were still at the restaurant before we just left. I posted all the pics/videos as soon as we walked out and have gotten an email from the owner. My friends and I have discussed at full length (like actually 1+ hour) on what to do and we decided that it was best to let the Yelp community what happened. It made us super sick, disgusted, and really upset after we left because of what we saw. Definitely one of the worse restaurant experiences we've all ever encountered. Not ok. read more

This was my 2nd visit to BubbleFish and it did not disappoint. Started with a peach banana milk shake for my drink. From there commenced to order beef and lamb skewers, eel with rice and tangy sauce, a rice pilaf combination that sits upright, and fried chicken skins. Very relaxing atmosphere, a few other couples dinibg, quiet atmosphere, great tasting food, nice music. Definitely planning on returning to this spot. Asian food is the best!!!! read more

Bubble tea and sushi -- two of my favorite things. My brother and I decided to check out Bubblefish because of the good reviews and it's fun concept. I made a reservation via phone, but when we arrived for dinner (around 7ish on a weekday night) the place was pretty empty. Ambience was cool and trendy. There's a TV screen in the back, and your drinks come in cute jars. Drinks: We ended up ordering the the honey jasmine tea with boba. Although it was a "cold" bubble tea, it didn't come with ice, which was nice since there was nothing to water down the flavors of the tea. The boba was sweet and chewy, and the tea wasn't too sweet at all. Food: The rolls were delicious. They all had the perfect rice to filling ratio, and the rice itself was very flavorful. We shared the shrimp tempura roll, the bubblefish roll, and the sushi mako combo. While the bubblefish roll was my favorite, the sushi mako combo was a great deal since it came with 3 rolls. Overall, I would definitely come back again. I'm impressed with both the prices and the quality of the food here. read more

I first tried this place years ago and I don't know how I could forget it but my cousin suggested we come here for our sushi fix. I'm a bit of a sushi snob and let me tell you... we came back days later. 2x in less than a week. I didn't even mind struggling for parking for it. It's cheap, fresh and quick. The basic rolls are half the prices elsewhere, I was more than full after only paying $14 including tip/tax. That's nearly unheard of in Philadelphia for sushi. read more

Right when you walk in you'll notice this place is a well decorated modern sushi joint with spacious seating. The first thing I noticed with the sushi is how fresh it was. The rolls were not overpowered with too much rice which meant more fish, how a great sushi roll is supposed to be. I also tried their chicken teriyaki bento box and I cant say i was impressed. The chicken seemed over cooked and dry which kind of ruined the entire thing. Overall the quality and variety of the menu items are great and the prices are reasonable. Would love to come back again and try some more things...probably the sushi burger which I keep hearing about! read more
