    Shrimp Tempura Appetizer
    Tina L.

    I ordered here one day for dinner. It was delayed but no notice was given. If they were busy, a notice or message would be greatly appreciated. So it kind of started on the wrong foot there, but I try to be understanding due to cov19 and everything. Food honestly was okay, but expensive. I got avocado shrimp bowl, but there wasn't much in it. I had the stack and that was good. I had chose cream cheese, kani and shrimp tempura. I also had shrimp tempura. It was decent. I don't think I would come back.

    I can't even tell what this is. but I didn't order gigantic cucumbers in all of my rolls.

    This is my first time ordering from this store. I ordered through the doordash app and was soooo disappointed with the quality of this sushi. There were gigantic pieces of soft and warm cucumbers in my rolls, barely any shrimp in the shrimp avocado rolls and about 9 pieces of ginger for the 24 rolls that I ordered. I'm so disappointed with this restaurant because I had such high hopes. There was so much rice in the sushi, it just felt like rice and seaweed balls. I'm trying to consider the fact that they closed about 20 minutes before my order was picked up so that could've been why but i'm still frustrated.

    Sashimi with scale still on it

    Staff was nice but the food was not good. Rice used for the sushi roll tasted a day old but it could have been Over cooked rice. Salmon sashimi still had scales on it. Avocado was hard and brown...

    Shrimp tempora and san juan rolls also ordered amazing Thai wings not pictured

    My God my God is all I can say after biting into that San Juan sushi I just ordered. I live literally a few blocks away and was nervous to try the place since due to its location I grew up in north Philly never had anything good off Girard st but let me tell you I will be coming here as long as they're open food is amazing so flavorful and fresh im so mad i didn't try them sooner im puerto rican and black and love Asian foods so this was like a taste from heaven and totally fulfilled my craving.i can't wait to go eat here when covid is over with my bf and girlfriends its perfect. Must try the San Juan rolls. Thank you to JL Jupiter's video recommendation.

    Maaaaaaaaaannnn listen have you ever had an organism in your mouth?!?? I ordered from this place to have it delivered to my job and they did not disappoint. The presentation of the sushi looked very professional like you were looking at it on the menu. I ordered the salmon sushi rolls and from first bite I couldn't help but to roll my eyes with every chew. It tasted so fresh. Everything was just right. My co worker came over and tried one and loved it just as much that she called and placed an order for it as well. The price wasn't bad at all it was $7 for a Sushi meal which if you love sushi you know sushi is not cheap! It tasted so good that I was upset that I finished it lol. I will be ordering from this place more often. Hands down the best place in Philadelphia to get sushi! 5 stars across the board!

    Royal and Takayama Delight

    Combining Japanese and Latin Cuisine is so genius..Love love love this place!! Had a get-together with some friends and was craving sushi. We ordered directly from their website and was able to pick it up within 25 min. Had Shrimp Avocado bowls, Casa Wings, Philly Green Dragon Roll, Takayama Delight, and they even had my favorite desserts- Tres Leches cake and Flan. Everything was super fresh and delicious. I'll definitely be sure to try the Lamb Chops and Steak next time

    And amazing combination of flavors in there sushi. Great music and drinks. The price is really good too

    I just moved to the area and stopped in for dinner randomly, and it was a great decision! They have a few traditional rolls, but most of the menu is creative selections. I didn't think I'd like corn beef on sushi, but it turns out the Boriqua roll is awesome. Highly recommend this place for the adventurous foodie type.

    El Morro

    For a good time..... I knew that title would intrigue you. But I used it in the context of great food and service. "La Sushi" is a quaint restaurant in Philly that will not only satisfy your hunger but need to socialize. We heard that La Sushi mixed traditional Japanese sushi with a Caribbean flair. They do and it is a resounding success. I had the "El Morro" which was shredded pork, avocado, beans and rice rolled in sweet plantains. Wow, not only did it taste fantastic it reminded me of my Puerto Rican grandmother's cooking. But if your in the mood for just sushi try their "Royal" or "Philly Green Dragon" both were well prepared, seasoned and a pure delight to your taste buds. The service was just as good and they tended to my family and I as if we were long lost friends (FYI our dinner group were all vaccinated and masked). It's a small spot with only a few tables properly spaced and protected so if they are at capacity do not fret take out is just as good. So if you happen to be in Philly I recommend you stop off at "La Sushi" and enjoy a great meal and service.

We came straight over after a very disappointing and mediocre experience at Pearl & Mary which I'm sad to say I won't go back to. Not with other options and I know shouldn't disappoint such as Double Knot! Staff and food presentation always on point! Double knot is the best and my next favorites now that P&M is out now would be vernick for their toasties and fishies and little fish.

It's the usual center city parking situation - try your luck with street parking or park in one of the decks. This place is pretty low key but way more spacious that it looks from the outside. It's relatively "no frills" when it comes to vibe as service, very casual - definitely not fine dining, lighting is a little harsh. We got the Love boat for 2 - which comes with one miso soup and one salad (so hopefully you're willing to share or maybe one of you only wants soup and the other wants salad). The boat was ok - didn't really hit the spot in the way that I had hoped. Karaoke rooms are open and pretty loud but they sound fun. Maybe I'll come back and check those out but I likely won't be back otherwise.

I had the rainbow roll because it had a BOGO offer, making 2 rolls only $16. However, the rolls were SMALL and basically just a California roll with a tiny sliver of fish on top. Two was the perfect amount for me and I don't eat that much, so I would've been quite upset if I'd paid over $30 for that. Aside from the price and size, it wasn't very good. There wasn't much imitation crab inside (which is relatively inexpensive anyways) and the fish on top wasn't very fresh so I ended up taking it off. The salmon sashimi pieces were also half cooked? Super weird... Maybe the food would be better in person, or if I didn't order sushi for takeout, but I probably won't be coming back here :(

We ordered the crispy chicken bao buns, crispy shrimp, general tso soup dumplings, wagyu beef, Korean bbq beef, and hamachi ceviche. We were a group of 3 so one thing that was nice was that our waiter added 1 additional skewer/bao bun for the meals instead of ordering 2 plates of them. Out of all the food we ordered the most delicious were the meats; the wagyu and Korean bbq beef. They were so tender and lightly seasoned because the beef quality itself was good. The Wagyu beef was paired with an apricot dip that was really good. The chilli crisp chicken bao was also good but didn't have much sauce, so it was on the dry side. It was supposed to have chilli so we expected it to be spicy but it was not. We all really liked the crispy shrimp--it was truly crispy. The sauce and the radish paired really nicely with the shrimp as well. The one meal we did not enjoy were the soup dumplings. When we got them they were dripping of raw dough and had no soup in them. The waiter was kind enough to replace them but we still didn't really enjoy them. I did not try the hamachi ceviche because I'm pregnant but it was also a favorite from the group. For dessert we had the mini ice cream cones. The waiter again added an extra one for us. The flavors were chocolate banana and mango. They were good, small bites. One of them melted so quickly and fell on the table and the waiter was really kind and got us a replacement. I did use the bathroom and absolutely hated it. It was unbelievably dark in there and there were weird sounds playing in there. I went in there to make sure I didn't have food in my teeth but couldn't even see. Super inaccessible, hopefully that's something that can be changed. The service overall was clearly excellent! I would recommend this place, especially if you come for the meats. It was surprisingly filling too.
