26 Best Sushi Bars near Swarthmore

“I decided to give Bamboo Bistro a try, and I’m really glad I did. The food was absolutely amazing—fresh and flavorful. The staff were polite, friendly, and made the whole experience feel welcoming from the moment I walked in for my pick up order. Great service, great food, a place I’ll definitely be coming back to.“

“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 here, but not the last. Christmas Day and reservations were on time. Service, presentation and taste were great. Portions were generous- we shared desserts and still had plenty, leftovers became to go for a tasty lunch the next day.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“Rolls are a good size and are very full, so you get your money’s worth. The sushi roll lunch deals are great and I 10/10 recommend! The spicy kani roll tasted slightly fishy (nothing too off putting), but the spicy tuna and shrimp tempura rolls are delicious.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent sushi and entrees. One of my favorite restaurants!“

“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.“

“Everything is fresh and delicious! Atmosphere is very friendly, they treat you like family!“

“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 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.“

“amazing food. extremely quick service.“

“Great food , must have the tea cold tea .“

“The service was top notch and the atmosphere was pleasant. I had the Manhattan Roll, it was a new one for me and it was great. My main entree was the General Tao's Chilean Sea Bass and that did not disappoint. We will definitely be going back and hopefully sooner.rather than later.“

“Wednesday I came up the escalator to find that there is a buy 2 get 1 free sushi special on Wednesdays! I haven’t gotten sushi here in quite some time, but am soooo happy I did. Shrimp Tempura, Yellowtail Scallion, and Salmon rolls for $18?? And it was extremely fresh, I can’t emphasize the quality of this sushi for the price. I feel like the shrimp tempura could have been cut in larger pieces to avoid them falling apart as much but hey it’s all going in my tummy anyway.

*I ate a couple pieces before I took the picture it looked so good I couldn’t wait
*I promise you the amount of tuna and yellowtail used is not being done justice in the picture! Definitely a solid quantity of fish in the rolls.
*The people at the counter were lovely 💖

“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!“

“This restaurant, previously named MoguMogu, is now WADAYA with the same owner and same recipe. It is an absolute fun experience to eat here. The noodles are delicious. The drinks are unique. I highly recommend the Yuzu Cocktail (and for you to play the dice game). The service will make you feel at home. You will leave happy 🍜🍹.“

“It was clean the waitress was nice and the food was soooo good“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere, service and food.“

“Honestly amazing food. I got takoyaki and tonkatsu ramen, both of which were amazing. The takoyaki were obviously freshly made, and tasted delicious, and the ramen was flavorful and rich. I got chashu pork in my ramen and my only regret is not ordering extra meat, because it was so tender and flavorful. It was all very reasonably priced, especially considering how massive the portion of ramen was. My entire meal came out to around $20.“
