Ruwan J.

probably closer to a 3.5 stars. a casual takeout spot located in the Rittenhouse Square area. there are several tables in the front of the interior. it's a small space that is cleanly maintained. majority of the business seems to be takeout and delivery. but if you are looking for a relatively quick meal--this is a good choice especially if you want sushi rolls or other. had a quick lunch with a group. food came out fairly quickly after ordering. enjoyed some tempura that was fried well, not oily, and was light yet satisfying as tempura should be. ordered spider roll which was basically fried soft shell crab, cucumber, avocado, sauce, etc. the roll was satisfying and hit the spot for wanting savory / comfort eats without being too heavy. service is quick and friendly enough. English by the staff seems a little limited, but it works bc the menu isn't very complicated.

This place seems to be where the locals like to grab their sushi. I think that's a good sign! Indeed, I enjoyed the three roll special. I chose the Alligator Roll, King Salmon Roll and the Rainbow Roll. Too much for one person, but the deal was too good to pass up. The look of the restaurant could be improved. It looks a bit cluttered and busy. The staff working tonight were very nice. I love that when I checked in with my Yelp app, an offer popped up and I was able to get a free drink!

Tricolor sushi, tuna roll, Tornado roll, eel (unagi) sushi, spring rolls, miso soup
Alyse J.

Machi sushi was very good! It wasn't the best sushi in the city, but it is one of the best values! Some takeout sushi tends to be not as good, but this wasn't the case at all. The food was perfectly timed and everything was very enjoyable. We ordered Tricolor sushi tuna, salmon, yellowtail), tuna roll, Tornado roll, eel (unagi) sushi, spring rolls, miso soup for two people. It was a perfect amount of food and a perfect value. Ordering online was very easy, and pickup was also very easy. The staff working were very nice. The restaurant itself is small but I would definitely be back for some more takeout sushi!

What does the sign say
Todd R.

I was out walking looking for a place to eat. Walked past here and decided to stop. Looked interesting. Lots of different sushi here so hope it great. The place is small seats about 18 people max. But I see a lot of locals coming in to pick up their orders. You have two guys making the sushi. No music no TV, thank you. Location is on a small street and no real parking , but I think people from Philadelphia are looking de to that l. No drinks made here it is all in the fridge. I got boba. I ordered yellow tail and white tuna. AMAZING!! I will come here just for the sushi alone. Just the right amount of rice. Cuts down f fish were not big but not small either. Put some wasabi and it was so smooth. Good fish. Udon beef soup is great thick noodles, broth could be more brothy but still good. Staff is not friendly, do not welcome you, speak different language the entire time. Don't interact. But since I came to eat it is not that much of an issue. Have to say sushi is great here!! Place keeps busy so locals know the place better is good.

Instructions that were not followed. Clearly indicated GLUTEN FREE.
Michael R.

If you have a food allergy, this is not the restaurant to order from. I specifically indicated GLUTEN FREE. There's crunch in most of the rolls.- rolls that never have crunch unless requested. I'm highly allergic to gluten. As such, my order was inedible and caused me to have severe stomach pains. On an aside, the rolls contain 1/2 the portion of sushi that is usually included. There's plenty of other options for sushi. This is caused by carelessness and sacrificing quality to make an extra buck.

3 colour sashimi ($22), Salmon Skin Roll ($5), Unagi ($5), Egg ($4)
Mike O.

Excellent value in low-priced rolls ($5), 2-piece nigiri or sashimi ($5) and many more. Awesome neighborhood spot to satiate your craving for some awesome rolls, or favorite tempuras (and more!) from the kitchen! AMAZING AND FRESSSSH Value-level fish from the bar (can't beat $5 for two pieces, anywhere) is fresh and fresssh. Radish and carrot are fresh, and white ginger and wasabi is similarly good. Low-sodium soy sauce is the norm in the delightful ceramic mini-carafes. DING NOT BEEP I'll flee if I hear beep-beep-beep from an unagi or salmon skin roll order, and here gave a DING! Yesssss! IN THE END Go for one of the many many rolls and kitchen dishes! Value is the theme here, and you will not be disappointed. But this is not the place to be transformed to another universe by life-changing maguro, tamago or toro. BUT THE RESTROOM! Sink fixtures haven't been cleaned in months, nor corners of the floor or toilet. Such omissions are a massive flag for me... makes me wonder what the kitchen prep areas are like.

Lunch special 3 rolls: spicy tuna, salmon avocado, and yellowtail scallion
Tiffany P.

One of my favorite sushi places! I'm so glad it's so close to my work. My go to is the lunch special, 3 rolls with soup or salad. The staff is super friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. So convenient to pick up.

Store Front

I tried the Almond Dragon Roll based on the reviews of another Yelp member, this roll has yellowtail, salmon, aspargus inside, top with eel, avocado, almond flakes, wasabi & eel sauce. This roll sure has alot going on but my opinion is the almond flakes do not go well with wet rice and sushi. Lesson learned. The Shrimp Shumai was just okay. I get the Shrimp Shumai from almost every sushi place I visit and this was about run of the mill or a little below average. If you choose your rolls wisely you can get a good deal here, as for me bucking $20 for one roll and run of the mill shumai thats on me. I see myself coming back to try there Sashimi Regular advertising 18 pieces of assorted Sashimi for $18.95 which seems like a pretty good deal. Will update review once I try this item. Pro-tip : if you check in on yelp while here you get 10% off!

The entire experience is a solid 9.5/10 for me. The service, ambiance, food, everything. From the hosts to the servers to the managers, everyone is always so attentive and hospitable. The downstairs is so romantic, cozy and intimate. My only complaint is that the lighting is SO dim that if you don't have 20/20 vision, good luck reading the menu. Now the FOOD. Everything is just good. The quality, the seasoning, the flavors, all of it. My go to orders are their double knot sushi, beef skewers, and their Wagyu, which is honestly one of my favorite Wagyus I've ever had. Their drinks are great, too, especially their lychee martini. I genuinely don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. This is one of those restaurants that just gets it right, and I will always recommend it!

I come here for happy hour every now and then because the prices are really great, and both the food and drinks are delicious. We started with the specialty cocktail and the Thai Punch, and both were really good. They had fruity undertones, and the alcohol wasn't overpowering at all -- I could easily have a few of these. For food, we got a few orders of the kung pao chicken wings. They were perfectly crispy with a really flavorful glaze. The portion size was also very generous, especially for the happy hour price. These are a great example of Asian-style fried chicken wings done right. I definitely want to come back and try their full dinner menu since I've only been here for happy hour so far. Luckily, it's not too far from where I live in the city, so I'll definitely be back!

We were a party of two and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. ​The Highlights: ​Quality: This is hands-down the best quality "all-you-can-eat" (AYCE) sushi I've had. Unlike other places where the fish can sometimes taste frozen, everything here tasted fresh and high-quality. ​Service: Our server, Jordan, was incredibly attentive and made our lunch even better. ​Menu: The miso soup was delicious, and the salad portion was generous. The fried calamari was also great, though the pieces were on the smaller side. While the chicken teriyaki was a bit disappointing, the rest of the meal more than made up for it. ​Value: At approximately $33.85, the AYCE price is a great value for the quality you receive. They also have an extensive ramen menu--while it's not included in the AYCE price, it looked delicious and is something I'm excited to try next time. ​Overall Thoughts: The restaurant was very quiet during our lunch visit, which made for a relaxing meal, though I imagine it gets lively during happy hour. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for fresh sushi and great service!
