    3 Rolls Lunch Special, Salmon Roll, Eel Avocado Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Ashley L.

    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!

    Pepper Steak w. Onion (sm)

    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.

    Food, and service was great. They took care of us even tho they are just delivery. But they accommodated us. Thanks for that extra push. Very tinny place but cozy.

    3 Rolls Lunch Special
    Kaitlyn T.

    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!!!

    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.

    Tuma Tuna and Salmon Lunch
    Michael R.

    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.

    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!

    Spicy salmon roll, tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll

    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.

    Sushi and Sashimi for 1

    Absolutely delicious! Definitely my new go to Japanese spot. Everything I ordered tasted amazingly fresh and high quality. I don't have a single complaint. The sushi & sashimi for one was perfect and the pork gyoza must have been great because my girlfriend ate all 6 before I could try one lol. The taro bubble tea was delicious as well. Stop looking for a place to eat and just order from here already!!! This place just opened and I really hope they does well because food this good at a fair price needs to succeed.

    Spicy Tuna Roll Spicy Shrimp Avocado Roll Yellowtail Jalapeno Roll
    Anabell C.

    I ordered online because they seem like a pick-up shop. I had the 3 roll combo of spicy tuna, spicy shrimp avocado roll, and yellowtail jalapeño roll and vegetable tempura as a side. It came with a free miso soup, utensils and napkins. They were ready to pick up in 20 minutes. The food was a good amount for two people and really yummy!

It gives a very nice date night feeling. I ordered the Chef's tasting menu, it includes a total of 13 items. The only confusing bit is that you choose the items from the menu and the entire party will share (that part makes sense of an "omakase" feeling). It is nice that you get to choose as there are some premium items that ate included, making the $78 well worth it IMO. Service was quick and we were checked on throughout the meal without feeling overbearing or interrupting. The food was filling and portions werent skimped, we wound up taking the rice and brazino to go before the final dish - desert. After the meal they ask if you'd like anything else, just in case (we did). I highly recommend the wagyu plate, we got it done rare and it was like butter. Absolutely amazing.

The only minor downside was that it got pretty warm inside. It was during the heatwave, so I don't think the A/C was able to keep up, but it definitely wouldn't stop us from coming back. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience!

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!

Place is super trendy with an open concept kitchen and dark lighting. I might be getting old because I find myself wanting more lighting lol Service is spectacular and if it's your first time here they'll fully explain their menu and recommendations. This time our server explained the tasting course, but we decided to order a la carte. A refreshing Ming Mule came out first and it was just what I needed after being inside of a stadium on a 100 degree day. We also ordered an order of the pork bao which was so tasty. You can never go wrong with a pork belly appetizer and each order comes with two. The shrimp pad Thai had all the flavors you expect from a classic pad Thai but with their own twist. The Szechuan chicken was crispy and had sweet notes. Definitely two great picks. Opted out from dessert because we were so stuffed but they have a great ice cream cone option if you are in the mood.

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!

    The AYCE price for what you get is very solid! We ordered almost half of the rolls on the menu and…read moresome were more of a miss than a hit. There are not too many of the popular traditional rolls and these ones are a little more creative, and more tempura and imitation crab rather than eel or salmon fillings. My friends and I barely finished our 3 rounds and did notice that the nigiri had a lot more rice towards the end than it did in the beginning. Would recommend this place if you're looking for quantity of sushi for a good deal.
