Sushi Ya was pretty solid on their 3 roll lunch special, with tax it's $15. The miso soup is standard with all of these take out style sushi spots. It's okay, bland ish, and had ONE tofu in it. It's a pet peeve of mine that all these places skimp on the cheapest ingredients, both the seaweed and silk tofu are pennies when you divide it into a soup. I got the spicy shrimp and avocado, shrimp tempura, and yellowtail jalapeno. All were well made for the price and standard. I wouldn't hesitate to order from here again when craving a decent deal for sushi rolls read more

Quality takeout sushi for an unbeatable price! The fish tasted fresh, great ratio of fish to rice, and very convenient pickup system. 3 rolls and a soup for lunch under $15 with their quality is an amazing deal. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a lunch option in the area! read more

I was actually very very surprised that their sushi was so good. I had been avoiding them for years. Then a friend had gotten the lunch special and I could not believe that I liked their sushi rolls. That prompted me to place my own order. It's a takeout spot so you aren't going to make dinner plans here, but I will recommend their sushi. I may have to peruse the menu and see what else I can try. read more

The peppers, onions and rice werent that great and I didnt even swallow My first piece of steak. Spit it back out (as shown on the plate on the right side). I then picked out all of the pieces of "steak" and put them on the side so I wouldnt mistakenly put anymore of it in my mouth. Then, after I was finished with most of the rice, peppers and onion, the plate sat in front of Me for another 15-20 minutes while I watched tv. The "steak" began to reek of an odor I'm not familiar with. Maybe it was beef but it definitely wasnt steak. Never again. read more

This spot is my go-to on Uber Eats and have never been disappointed with my order. I live in North Philly, so my orders arrive relatively quickly. Everything is always fresh and the perfect temperature when it arrives. I usually order during lunch time and order the sashimi lunch or 3 roll lunch special. The lunch specials are great deals and the fish is the best I've ever gotten through delivery. I've only gotten the salad a few times but I love how there's masago in the dressing. High recommend!!! read more

Ordered the 3 roll lunch special for pickup. Food was done on time which was convenient for a quick grab and go because parking around this area is pretty limited. Lots of different roll options you can choose from for the lunch specials. The sushi rice was nice and soft, flavored right, and the fish was fresh. Came with a choice of miso soup or salad. read more

Fresh fish served in good portions and at a near reasonable price is difficult to find. Sushiya accomplishes that. I ordered the Tuna and Salmon Lunch. Six (6) pieces of sushi on rice, and a spicy tuna roll, served with a green salad, and my expectations were exceeded. You have a choice of soup or salad. My only gripe was that the salad is nearly all lettuce. Otherwise, it was a delicious lunch that hit the spot, and I'd highly recommend. read more

I've been ordering from here for like two years and it never disappoints. I get the three roll combo and i'd call it a good deal. They don't skimp on the fish or put too much rice and everything tastes very fresh and good quality. You get a soup or salad with the combo and I think it's cheaper to call in than to order on an app. read more

We love this place! Apps & Entree: The food is always fresh and of high quality (not to mention delicious!) I had tried sushi maybe once before trying this spot and I look forward to coming back and trying new rolls! We enjoy the vegetable dumplings, edamame, & Fried veggies (super filling). Desert: I'm a stickler for a traditional tiramisu but I love their tiramisu cake, so light and delicious! But, their chocolate slice is to die for! It's rich but as soft as a could. I enjoy the green tea mochi for a light treat. It's so refreshing and tasty. Same goes for the Taro boba (bubble tea). Both the Mochi and boba were first time tries and I just hope they taste as amazing everywhere! The owners are a lovely couple that enjoy sharing their culture and food with the neighborhood. Which really makes the whole experience so much better. Can't wait to order from here again! read more

Visiting from Boston, and this is the first time trying this place for myself. I've tried many places from all over MA and NY, and this place is one of the best for take-out/delivery! 10/10 sushi and very friendly staff! Things that set them apart from others: 1) The fish quality (amazing) 2) The fish to rice ratio is one of the best that I have ever had. (the spicy rolls had a good amount of fish to them vs. tempura crumbs in other places) 3) Reasonable price for the portions/quality If you are ever in the area, give this place a try! I'll definitely be back every time I visit Philly. read more

When it comes to sushi, they do not mess around. Super fresh and quality food! Let's dive in .... Bubble Tea (5/5): We got the mango milk tea and the flavor was sweet and milky and the tapioca balls were perfect. Far exceeded expectations but the drink leaked slightly. Edamame (3/5): Cooked fine but missing salt. Spicy Kani Salad (4/5): This is a quality dish with nice flavor and texture combo between the kani and cucumber. Would have been nice to have this over a larger bed of lettuce and greens. Tokyo Dumpling Soup (3/5): The miso flavor is nice but the vegetables sadly have little flavor. The dumplings fell apart a bit and the inside of them were alright. Spicy Scallop Avocado Roll (5/5): Wow -- they don't mess around with quantities. This roll was overflowing with scallop and avocado! Both were incredibly fresh. Philadelphia Roll (5/5): Similarly, this roll was packed with fish and avo plus they include a nice dollop of cream cheese. Vegetarian Dragon Roll (5/5): Honestly one of the best vegetarian rolls I've ever tried. The shiitake, avocado, cucumber and crunch come together quite nicely for the perfect flavor and mouthfeel. Peanut Avocado Roll (5/5): Really good with lots of peanut and plenty of avocado too. (Notice a theme here?) I'm stuffed after this! TL;DR: Best sushi I've tried in Philly so far and you won't leave hungry. Will 100% be back! read more

On the flipside, because those dishes up there were so good, I actually thought the cold sesame noodles were just alright. They use a thinner more delicate noodle here that makes it much more sauce forward, but I feel I'm partial to thicker chewier noodles with spicy food.

He also informed us that, yes, indeed, they have the Sichuan peppercorns like so many other restaurants, yet like so many other places, they failed to give them to us. There was, however, an aromatic presence given off by what appeared to be black cumin flakes in our cumin lamb. Had they put actual Chinese peppercorns in the dish, it might have balanced out the heavy cumin, which I tasted in my mouth hours after the meal. Ginger and a ton of garlic, both of which I associate with this cuisine, also would have been nice. I imagine the owner, once hyper declarative as to the authenticity of his restaurant, has a brand these days: a decent Sichuan sports bar catering the food for an American palette.....even their 3 Cups chicken is 'bone off'. I can not say I saw many Asian people dining here; perhaps they know better and just head on over to EMei in Chinatown. We also had the string beans with ground pork; they had the proper blistered look from being dry-fried, though the dish ended up a bit greasy and lacked the distinctive punch of preserved mustard greens and robust aromatics. All in all, we enjoyed the food, but the bartender abandoning us while helping himself to a twenty percent tip, combined with the lack of authenticity, is not enough to impress.

I'm writing this update, really as a reminder to me: **-- vegetable wonton soup is consistently delicious. But when I saw folks at another table order hot & sour I said, 'next time let's try it.' It was chock full of ingredients and with most of their clientele Asian, I suspect it's very good. **-- two years ago we ordered a dish with chicken, beef, shrimp and vegetables. It's what sold me on Lau Kee. Until today, I didn't know the name. "Triple Delight," our server said. **-- Mapo Tofu. (I neglected to take a photo.) Certainly good, but no different than other restaurants. I realized we had it here before. Next time, something else. But if YOU get it, and don't want it super hot, do tell the server. Staff speaks English, and despite being excessively busy, they've got everything under control. If you want steamed rice, ask for it. No charge, but not automatic. Good-sized portions, fair prices -- and YAY! Leftovers for me tomorrow.

I ordered the Any Three Roll special and went with the Philadelphia Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Eel Avocado Roll, along with a fresh side salad with ginger dressing. Everything was beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. The rolls were fresh, generously filled, and wrapped perfectly. The eel avocado roll had that rich, savory sweetness I love, the spicy tuna had just the right kick, and the Philadelphia roll was creamy and balanced. The salad was crisp and refreshing with a flavorful ginger dressing that paired perfectly with the sushi. Presentation was thoughtful, and everything traveled well for takeout. For the quality and portion size, the price was an incredible value. I will definitely be coming back the next time I am in the area. Highly recommend if you are looking for fresh, delicious sushi and a satisfying meal.
