50 Best Sushi Bars near Glenolden

“Awesome menu, great vibes and really tasty food. Must try this place.“

“I had an intimate birthday dinner at Uchi recently. This restaurant has been on my “want to go” list for quite some time, and I was not disappointed in the slightest. From the bold yet harmonious flavors of the nigiri to the delicious appetizers and small plates to the friendliness of the staff, I was so glad they opened up a location in Philadelphia. Highly, highly recommend. If I wasn’t from out of town, I’d be a regular.“

“Ordered Shiso for delivery on Saturday night after reading some glowing reviews online and it did not disappoint - will be my new go-to for sushi takeout. Got the Chef's choice sushi and tuna/aji sushi and every piece was amazing and so fresh. Also got the spicy tuna crispy rice (don't have a photo) but would skip this next time, it just doesn't travel well. Can't wait to try Shiso in person!“

“i think this is a sushi restaurant that suits my taste buds in this place, besides that the place is also clean and very comfortable when lunch time comes here♥️ the service is also good, i hope this restaurant will continue to maintain this quality...“

“Our server Martin was very attentive. We had the calamari app which was plain w goat cheese and we requested the spicy peppers on the side. The zucchini crab cake was amazing! The sea urchin pasta was also delicious and unique. I would go back here.“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?“

“Best sushi in all of Philly! I eat here every time I come to visit my sister!“

“Hands down one of the BEST sushi experiences I’ve had in Philadelphia. From the moment I walked in, I could feel the welcoming, positive energy. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and has such a great vibe that makes you want to slow down and truly enjoy your food.

I ordered the shrimp tempura roll — and honestly… I loved it so much that I ended up ordering TWO of them. Perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and flavorful on the inside, and made with extremely fresh ingredients. Every bite tasted better than the last. You can genuinely tell that a lot of care and pride goes into how the sushi is prepared here.

On top of that, I also ordered a shrimp avocado roll to take home, and Min was absolutely amazing. She was beyond kind, patient, and welcoming — the kind of person who makes you feel like a valued guest, not just another customer. She packed everything up quickly and neatly, and made the whole experience even better with her friendly attitude and positive energy.

This place isn’t just about great food — it’s about great people, great service, and a great overall experience. If you’re looking for authentic sushi, high-quality ingredients, generous portions, and a spot that truly cares about their customers, do yourself a favor and come here. I will 100% be back and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

Highly, highly recommend!“

“Holy moly what a find. Stopped in after a long day working on our new house where we did not have it in us to cook. Tried 2 different bento boxes and were blown away by:
-portion size (so much enclosed the box had to be rubber banded shut, we ate on the leftovers for several meals)
-price (each of our selections was less than $20)
-quality (new favorite spring roll in the area, crispy coating of batter on the bento and shrimp, fresh fluffy rice, fabulous miso soup, I could go on)
-customer service (they wrote a sweet note thanking us for our business! It was placed into one of the bags we were given along with a takeout menu)
-speed (for the volume of food we were given, the wait was very reasonable. We walked in and ordered, and I think it took maybe 20 mins for us to be handed our food)“

“Everything is so good! Fresh Sushi! New Batches of sushi rice everyday, love the people who work there. Friendly environment! Very Generous! Amazing Service! The only sushi spot, I enjoy eating at. Please come out and check it out yourself! Will not disappoint. Deserve a 5.0 star! ⭐️“

“This place has the absolute BEST chicken ramen I have ever had. Such perfect broth, chicken seasoned in an ethnic indoasian blend, which is consistent every time I go! The menu is diverse and every item I have had has been delicious, including the specialty sushi rolls! This has been my go to spot for a year now for a casual meal or delivery and I would recommend anyone to try it!“

“Wonderful place! The service was very fast, and the food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The restaurant is clean, calm, and cozy — a very pleasant atmosphere. The staff was attentive and quickly cleared the dishes. One of the best Sushi restaurants in the area — highly recommend!“

“Best sushi in Philly. Super fresh fish. Very reasonably priced for what they give you. And they are pros at packaging for takeout.“

“My evening at Morimoto‘s will be the best memory of my visit to Philadelphia! If I was a local, I’d be in to have their Wasabi Watercress Caesar salad at least once a week. Brilliant! Service was excellent, all the food was lovely, and the restaurant itself, with its soft jewel-tone colors and wave-like forms, was a delight to be in.“

“think of sushi in a bowl concept _ healthy portions of fish or chicken accompanied by greens and veggies“

“We happened upon this gem purely by chance. We had an amazing meal from A-Z (!!!) The sushi is phenomenal; sit at the newly designed sushi bar in the back and enjoy unique daily catches that come in through the connections the owner has with local fishermen. The restaurant is also known for their aged steaks, and Kobe prime rib, which we will try next time. I had the miso black bass and it was one of the best flavors with fish I have ever had. The broth had such a delicate shiitake mushroom flavor, which I loved. I literally couldn’t have had enough of this delicate, delicious dish. I could have had two orders and eaten it all! I think this dish epitomizes what the word UMAMI means. I also had the sautéed mushroom extravaganza, a treat for every taste bud of incredible flavors melted with a delicate sauce. My husband had their unique collection of sushi and sashimi choices that were all enjoyed at their stunningly beautiful sushi bar, complete with two young, passionate chefs who love what they do, and treasure their personal designs of the fish and rolls. All the rolls are presented in this great wooden cradle design, which I thought was so unique and functional. The owner was all smiles and genuinely happy to have had us try his new restaurant. I recommend it highly for either an exceptional steak meal (all are btw, so reasonably priced so order them for sure), or the traditional sushi. You won’t be disappointed. This will be our weekly go-to restaurant and we are counting the days until we will return, which actually will be next Tuesday the 9th! Bravo to the whole team at Umami and thank you for your passion for Japanese food, and for doing it right from A-Z. We will see you soon! Debbie and Gene“

“Everything was so good. No fishy or stale flavors. Staff were very friendly and very informative on all the different types of sushi. Will be coming back. The A5 Wagu Uni hand roll was amazing!“

“Got there around 1 with a friend we shared the edamame, tuna tartare and Gyoza for starters. Then we had the dragon and the caterpillar rolls. I wasn’t expecting to put $40 with tip each but it is what it is. The food was okay, nothing I would rave about. I didn’t try the Ramen but wouldn’t make the hike for only that.“

“Delicious! My husband and I just had some of the most amazing sushi we've ever tasted. The edamame was perfectly cooked, the miso soup was flavorful with tender seaweed, and the wasabi was real wasabi“

“This place is a rare gem! Fantastic. They have the freshest fish and seafood, vegetables, and fruits. The exceptional quality doesn't stop there. You have knowledgeable people to help you create masterpiece fish-based meals. I wrote to them by email early in the morning about what I needed. I received a quick response with assurance that I could get the head and bones needed for stock and a sturdy white fish for the Belgian stew (Waterzooie). Not just any fish heads and bones, but the choice known to make the BEST stock: flounder. With this as the base of a fantastic stock, Philly Lobster had beautiful monkfish filets for the stew. This, too, is the best choice for Waterzooie. John at Philly Lobster had done the online inquiry and knew exactly what I needed. The results were outstanding and I could not have done it without the wonderful help from John at Philly Lobster. It is a small, priceless business I value. There is no other place like it on the Main Line.“

“Confession: I didn't get a single photo because the food was so unbelievably good and I was starving!
Every bite, from the yellowtail jalapeño appetizer to the spicy salmon roll, was pure satisfaction .
Pro Tip: Order the House Hot Sake!“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“Found this hidden gem online and gave it a shot. Me and my husband came last time and the food was great but the service was even better. Today we came again and again the service and food was great again. We had Evan as our server twice and was not disappointed. Would def come back here time and time again :)“

“This is a great Karaoke spot. The room is quite big compared to other places. The food is good too. They have a lot of variety. They messed up mojito with some peach syrup and fixed it later. The overall experience is great and good to go for karaoke with large group and still have a private space.“

“The Lunch bentos are one of the best lunch deals in Philly!“

“I ordered several party trays from Tokyo Sushi and it was an amazing experience.
Everything was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. As soon as I put the trays out, everyone was impressed!

The staff was very friendly and helpful, and there were so many great options to choose from. Everyone at the party found something they loved, and the vegetarian options were especially well done and thoughtfully prepared, which I really appreciated.

Great quality, variety, and service all around!
I would absolutely order from them again for future gatherings and highly recommend their catering.“

“Always love this place. I try to visit every time I’m in Philly.“

“My first ramen of the year and it was a yummy one for a snowy day. We didnt have to wait for a table even though we arrived an hour before closing. They have lots of options to pick from but I went with a classic Tonkatsu ramen with pork and a Ramune Melon drink on the side. The broth and noodles were nice but the pork was a little dry.
I would love to go back and try some of their sushi as well“

“Well made & seasoned. Created quickly with precision. My daughter asked for her 13th Birthday dinner to be ordered from here. They even have a Birthday roll which was fantastic. They gave the birthday girl an extra pastry & what we can only describe as a special Birthday roll/cake. See pic. Highly recommend.“

“Exactly what you're looking for if you want take-out sushi, or just a quick sushi bite. It's not going to blow you away or anything, but it's GREAT portions, for a very solid price, and IMO, as I said, exactly what we're looking for when we want take-out sushi. We will definitely be coming here again. Oh, and the people working there are quiet but extremely nice and respectful. Can't wait to come back.“

“A gem in south philly and definitely the best sushi in the area. Super friendly service, always easy to get a table, and BYOB is a plus. The salmon lover's sushi entree is my go-to and is accompanied by a salad and soup. Haven't been disappointed with any of the rolls - always the perfect rice-to-fish ratio and all of the ingredients are super fresh.“

“Got the shrimp teriyaki bento box. Portion was massive. Came with some tempura pieces including a big shrimp tempura. The shrimp was cooked good on both. Rice was cooked good. Not dry or too wet. Came with some dumplings too. Would order again! Maybe would get beef next time. There’s a bunch of different options.“

“A great place to take friends. Never disappointed!“

“The three roll special is an obvious great value, but the whole menu is reasonable for the portion sizes you get. The Tuna Dumplings are amazing and the special rolls on the white board are always delicious. This is one of the few places that can get fresh wasabi, although, now that people know about it, it tends to sell out quick.“

“This was my first there the food was great .Fast serving an very nice an clean.I think I be back again 🥢😋“

“Excellent quality sushi. Very fresh and tasty. I told the server I was gluten free and she was knowledgeable...they also have gluten free soy sauce. I had the Treasure Roll (not on the menu but I saw it online), a Spicy Tuna Roll, and a Green Salad (Ginger Dressing was 10/10). Definitely a bit on the pricier side but worth it.“

“The absolute best handrolls I have ever had and will ever have!!! I ordered the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and spicy yellowtail handrolls. The rolls taste extremely fresh and the housemade soy sauce is incredible. The service is quick! I can't wait to come back.“

“Hands down, this is the most affordable place where you can get fresh and delicious sushi. Service is quick, customer service is amazing and they always treat my boyfriend and I like VIPs here. We’ve been coming here for 4 years and not once have we ever left feeling disappointed. I always recommend my friends and coworkers to this place and they love eating here just as much as we do. I would give them 100 stars if possible!“

“The veggie dumplings and the seared tuna with cucumber and carrot salad were delicious. Tried my friend's California roll, which was good, too. Nice grab and go selection and you can order what you like if it's not in their refrigerated case.“

“The best budget sushi/sashimi in the city. I’ve been going here for years. Stop by biweekly to get my sashimi deluxe and enjoy it at home.
The pics are from my recent dinner for 4. We spent $150 without the tip and it was a beautiful presentation and delicious. Service, from Joanna, was great!“

“My family and I have been a customer here for years. We met Jae right as he was opening the restaurant and have been coming ever since. We cannot recommend the sushi here enough - absolutely delicious, wide menu, and interesting special options for bigger groups. Don’t be surprised if Jae himself comes by your table to check in. Environment is also friendly for kids. Just be sure to check the operating days and hours carefully so you are not disappointed if you arrive to find it closed. Everyone in the Bryn Mawr area should try Sushi Land at least once!“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem in the city of Philadelphia. The food is fresh and delicious. The management and the staff are friendly and animated. The food prices are very affordable.
The vibe is authentic. It's a nice relaxing place to have a great meal.
I highly recommend this restaurant.

Avocado wrap. $6.99.

And many other dishes that children might enjoy.“

“High quality fish arranged in to-go boxes for a fair price. At $27, I got 3 rolls, 6 pieces of sushi, an avocado,fish,rice salad, and edamame. 3 rolls at this quality is typically around $20 alone so I’m not sure what the bad reviews about price and quality are. Funny enough, this is actually the best quality sushi you will find in UCity, and it’s takeout.“

“Great price for sushi and Chinese food. During Covid 19. It’s no growing up the price . I order few restaurants they call grown up price . So I recommend it . Good price fast delivery. And food is good quality alaway“

“I often take my friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I go their often. This recommendation is always successful. The the food there is flavorable and the crew is attentive and cooperative. always when we go to this place we enjoy a cheerful evening. warmly recommended.“

“This place is a gem. Fast and friendly service, the best ginger dressing on a house salad I have ever tasted. The freshest fish you will find on the main line. The rice was served at the perfect temperature. The owners and staff are the nicest people you will ever meet. If I could only eat at one restaurant for the rest of my life, this would be the one.“

“Went to Uni Sushi Last Week, food comes out fast and the taste is perfectly good. My child also like to eat there.“

“Here we go with another review yalllll… So I went to this establishment because JL Jupiter suggested it and let me tell you, he wasn’t wrong at allllll. The wings are something I’ve never tasted before. How you grill a fried or baked wings, I have no idea but they did it! The wings also had this slightly spicy sweet sauce on them. Although you see the hot pepper flakes on the chicken, it’s not an overwhelming spice level. It’s very subtle. Now the rice baby!!!!! The beef rice was soooo very very good and they give you a lot of it. Lastly, my daughter had a shrimp tempura roll. I know yall are saying, “sushi from a chicken joint”? Yes honeyyyyy! Don’t knock it until you try it! The roll was fresh and crispy and the sauce the out on was soooo good. The place is very small and I had to park on the side street illegally but I had someone in the car. You cannot park in 69th Street and please for the love of GOD, DO NOT DOUBLE PARK FOR YOU CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. All and all, 10/10 I highly recommend! Ok, love yall byeeeeee!“
