50 Best Sushi Bars near Lafayette Hill

“Toyosu offers attractive, delicious sushi, sashimi, and poke, with a focus on take-out customers—if you opt to eat at one of the few tables available, you will still receive and consume your food in plastic containers. However, you probably won’t mind because you’ll be too busy devouring crisply presented morsels of fish, prepared by aces with big-league experience.“

“I had the Tomo roll. Best roll I ever had. Great combination of flavors.“

“first time ordering from there.. the food was excellent. ordering on line was easy the portions are large.. . the staff during pick up was so friendly and kind.. restaurant was very clean and in well order.. will definitely order again...“

“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.“

“The best ramen and the best sushi in Philadelphia! Delicious 😋 my favorite place in Fishtown“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“The best! Our weekly go to!“

“This place is incredible. The crispy rice is insane. If you're near the mall and want some sushi, I urge you to make the 10 minute drive and eat here. You will not be disappointed. I promise. Honestly stop debating and start the trip. You're welcome.“

“Best meal I have had….maybe ever!“

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

“I had such a great experience at Akina Sushi. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and honestly exceeded my expectations. You can really tell they care about quality—everything tasted clean and well-balanced, especially the sushi.

What made the experience even more special was the service. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, and even generously offered us drinks, which was such a thoughtful touch.

It’s not easy to find a place that delivers both great food and genuine hospitality, but Akina definitely does. I’ll absolutely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great sushi spot.“

“Love the sushi and all food they have.“

“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)“

“first time ordering from there.. the food was excellent. ordering on line was easy the portions are large.. . the staff during pick up was so friendly and kind.. restaurant was very clean and in well order.. will definitely order again...“

“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!“

“A lowkey spot but great food and very clean. We so happened to stumble upon it and we were genuinely pleased from the 1st bite. We over heard someone picking up take out say that it was the best sushi he’s had and it was true. The price was great too. One plate of fried rice was enough to satisfy 2 people and then had about 18 pieces of sushi in total. Once finished, it didn’t make you feel sluggish and gross after eating. Great to see an owner who truly cares about their craft and customers. We’ll be back!“

“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.“

“I had the green salmon curry and it was delicious. Delicious food and wonderful service. I would recommend.“

“BYOB. I have yet to eat in the restaurant but we have gotten takeout multiple times and each time it has been better. Would strongly recommend trying this restaurant.“

“We visited Hiroki for a special occasion. My wife had just given birth and, after nine months, was finally able to enjoy sushi again. The food was outstanding as always. It was fresh, beautifully prepared, and consistently high quality. The staff was also professional and attentive, just like the last time we were here.

One small note: One of the waitresses had a noticeable sniffle and sounded congested. She did not cough and made an effort to keep a reasonable distance, so I do not want to fault her. However, as a new parent, hearing someone continuously sniffling does make me nervous. If this comes up in the future, I would appreciate the staff considering simple precautions like offering or using a face mask to help guests feel more comfortable.“

“We picked up and everything was just as we ordered it!!“

“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!“

“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 sushi and wonderful atmosphere.“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“I’m a sushi snob all the way from nyc and I must say this place is DELICIOUS. So many rolls, I had a hard time choosing and I wasn’t disappointed with anything! I even tried some new rolls I never had before and it totally hit the spot…So flavorful, fresh and did I mention it’s delicious??? I can’t wait to go back here next week, you’ve earned yourself a new customer who’s too tired to cook but always craving bomb sushi 💣“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for a couple of years, and the owners have always been incredibly friendly. Prices were also very competitive—especially the party trays, which is why I’m still leaving this as a 5-star review.

That said, my most recent visit was a bit concerning. There have been a lot of changes lately, particularly to the menu and pricing. The menu has been streamlined and modernized, but prices have gone up significantly across the board. Party trays in particular jumped by about $15 on average, with some increasing closer to $20. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any noticeable increase in portion size to go along with the higher prices.

This is a bit disappointing, because competitive pricing was what really set them apart from other sushi spots. The quality has always been slightly above average, but the value was a big part of the appeal.

I’ll still be coming back, but with these price increases, other places’ party trays have definitely become more tempting.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Nestled in the charming heart of Chestnut Hill, Tokyo Sushi at 8221 Germantown Ave offers a truly wonderful dining experience. The location itself is fantastic – perfectly situated to capture the vibrant, yet relaxed, atmosphere of the avenue.

Step inside, and you're immediately greeted by an ambiance that strikes the perfect balance between hip and cozy. The decor exudes a wonderful simplicity and cleanliness that contributes to a warm and inviting atmosphere. A real highlight is the small, yet transparent, open kitchen, which allows you to watch the father-and-son duo meticulously preparing your sushi – a testament to their dedication behind the craft.

But of course, the real star of the show is the food. From the moment your order arrives, it's clear that this restaurant prides itself on using very fresh ingredients. Every piece of sushi is a testament to this commitment – the fish gleams with top quality, and the vegetables are crisp and vibrant. The texture of each roll and nigiri is simply spot-on, especially Sushi On the Beach, a perfect harmony of tender fish, perfectly seasoned rice, and delicate nori. And the taste? Absolutely delicious. Each bite is a burst of clean, exquisite flavors that showcase the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chefs.

Whether you're a sushi aficionado or just looking for a fantastic meal in a wonderful setting, this Chestnut Hill gem is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“Great place to eat. You sit down and get the papers to fill out of what you want. They are great with service and food is always amazing. Would recommend for a date or special occasion.“

“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.“

“My boyfriend and I wanted to try something new in the Northern Liberty area as we frequent the area quite a bit, and decided to give Yanaga a try. After just one dine in experience, it's become one of our new favorite spots to eat, and it's definitely on the restaurant rotation for when we go out to eat!

The place is very decked out with anime stickers, manga panels, and the like, while also playing different kinds of anime on the TVs they have on premise. I really recommend the spot, for just the food alone even if you don't like anime.“

“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.

“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!“

“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!“

“The gyozas are my favorite. Literally nowhere else in the area makes them like they do. They are the fried pork gyozas. They are super crispy and the sauce that comes with is delicious. I always get those then hit CinCin next door for lo mein and general tso’s. Takeout and dining in is great. The atmosphere is super cool. I’ve also gotten sushi at the counter and it was tasty. It is a tad expensive for the gyozas $6-8 for the 5 gyozas but worth it.“

“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!“

“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.“

“soooo fresh and delicious.“

“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.“
