Yellowtail

This is my favorite, go-​to sushi place in Center City. I live nearby in Center City and often end up here with friends, ready to house enormous amounts of sushi. The menu has variety, plus many of the sushi nigiri items that I go for (I’m a big fan of saba nigiri and ikura nigiri, the mackerel and the salmon roe.) The proximity to other places in the ‘hood is a major appeal of this place. It is fantastic, except when there are large groups of students or girls playing with their hair and having boring conversations about shopping while pretending to eat. Sometimes some of these people drift over from Rittenhouse and find themselves at a table that instead should belong **TO ME**, not them (!), because I love this place and how cozy it is and want it all to myself! This place is pretty small, with just a few tables and a 3-​person sushi bar, and this is part of the charm. It does not have a lot of room, and although the staff is very accommodating, it would probably be hard to seat a group larger than four in this place.

Dinner Combo B to share– delicious. Fish tasted very fresh and the variety of rolls was yummy. The tempura roll had 2 «ends»!! Large amount of rolls and sushi for the price– plus get a soup or salad, as well. BYOB for eat in which is always a nice option.
Adequate seating inside, but reservation recommended for a large group.
Service was polite and friendly.
Will definitely return for lunch or dinner!

fish was fresh, but nothing special. Very nice rice and average prices. I did pick up, but the shop is very cute. I had the salmon cucumber roll and the eel avocado roll. I may go back for some takeout sushi — but the best deal is at lunch.

Great sushi. Been here a bunch of times and it’s never disappointed. Very quick with take out as well. If you plan to eat in, it is a very small dining area. Despite how small it is, though, you don’t feel like you are on top of other diners.

This is my go-​to spot for sushi and a quick sit down BYOB. Great prices, great food, simple as that.

We ate here on a Sunday night. There are just a few tables inside, but there were only a couple other parties there. We ordered chicken gyoza, chicken pad Thai, and three sushi rolls. The gyoza were very good, but the pad Thai was just alright. It had a little too much sauce in it, which was slightly overwhelming. The sushi, however, was great. We had the Godzilla roll, firecracker roll, and red and white roll. They were all delicious, but we agreed that the firecracker roll was the favorite. My only real gripe about this place is that it took a while for the food to come out, which seemed weird since there were not many people there. Overall, very good though and would come back for more great sushi rolls.

I don’t have to go to west philly anymore for the perfect Massaman curry. I found it here. Just a hop from my house, it was the perfect place to go for a weeknight dinner with the kids. The service was great and the waitress even made kid friendly chopsticks for my son. The menu was varied enough for all three of us and its BYOB for those times I want a glass of wine with my dinner. They also deliver and do take out. It was clean and cozy and we will definitely be back.

Mad disappointed with my order this afternoon. The Pope is expect tomorrow and I assume things are slow because my tuna tartare and Kani salad was made yesterday. The Kani was mushy and the tuna wasn’t red, it was orange. You shouldn’t sell sushi that isn’t fresh.

Roomie and I ordered take out last night and I think I’m still in shock. THEY HAVE DINNER SPECIALS. Yes, the caps are on purpose. I very rarely see dinner sushi specials. After ordering over the phone she asks if we will be paying cash. Yes. Ok 15% off. WHAT!
Any who, we ordered 3 special rolls, 3 reg rolls. $ 40 total. Snow white, dragon, hot lover, philly, spicy tuna, salmon avocado. All were pretty fresh, snow white was my fav, it was really good. I really hate that spicy rolls always end up getting mushy. I’d rather them just put spicy mayo on top rather than mixing it.
The sushi was definitely not something to go crazy about, but the price was and for take ou, it was pretty good. They have so many options of special rolls that this might be my new Sunday dinner.
If you do plan on dining, its superrrrr tiny.

BAD SERVICE, NASTY FOOD, NASTY PEOPLE AND I GOT SICK!
I would give this place a 0 star if it was possible to write a review. I don’t want anyone else to have the same bad experience! I got home from a long day at work one day. Ordered a 2 roll special and a fried calamari with mizo soup for delivery. It took them a hour to delivery. Get this, the delivery guy was ON A BIKE! He spilled all my soup. The food was nicely packaged and didn’t get any soup in them. But, the food was nasty! Sushi was nasty and friend calamari was so soggy I couldn’t eat it.
Not only that but my food was $ 24 total with the discount they gave. I gave $ 40 of 2 $ 20 bills. The delivery guy gave me a $ 5 change and gave himself a $ 9 tip!!! And then he rode away before I could even say anything.
Called back the restaurant and they said he went to delivery another order and will be back with my money. I waited another hour for my money.
So much for relaxing with a night of sushi cravings. Yea, then I got sick later in the night from the few bites of that nasty food I actually tried to eat.

4.5 stars, I have been here three times and the food is always good, fish is fresh, service is good and quick, never a wait for a table. If you’re very hungry the sushi pizza is a yummy appetizer (but they add a lot of mayo on top. You can ask for it without or on the side)

went here one evening and ordered a special sushi roll ($ 12) for 6 pieces. It was delicious! my friend got the Chicken Pad Thai. It was a big order however it was a little on the sweet side. Ambiance and staff are nice. Cute little spot.

The sushi was fine.
Sashimi even better. Rice was a bit dried out and old tasting on the nigiri. Maki were good.

Excellent service and the food was delicious! Salmon Teriyaki Lunch Bento Box. Deserving of another visit.

I ordered a take-​out lunch from here so I could sit on my couch and watch the masters, and this place is right down the street. I was feeling a little under the weather, so I needed an easy warm soup and something light to nibble on. While the deal was great — two rolls of my choice and Miso soup that came to $ 8.59 — the food wasn’t so great.
The Philadelphia Roll — which in my opinion is hard to mess up — because the cream cheese kind of takes over this roll, and you can’t go wrong with cream cheese — was not what happened here. I had only a few pieces.
The Spicy Tuna Roll was made with the shredded tuna, which is never appetizing to me, and didn’t have much of a spicy kick to it.
The Miso Soup was alright, but nothing great.
Needless to say I’ll be exploring other sushi places in the area.

Order was correct, sushi was tasty and fresh, «clear soup» (mushrooms in broth) was very tasty, will definitely order again!

I ordered delivery from here, and I definitely won’t be doing it again. It was reasonably quick and sort of edible, but there as an odd plastic-​y taste to everything. They also did a bad job of keeping the ginger separated, and a lot of the food had a strong ginger taste (and I despise ginger).
My main issue was that everything was just really, really soggy. The flavor of the sweet potato sushi might have been good if it weren’t dripping wet and covered in ginger. I had deviated from my normal sweet potato and avocado sushi purveyor for a change of pace, but I definitely won’t be ordering from Yellowtail again.

Good sushi for a great price! The have a combination special in which you can choose any three rolls from a list of about twenty different choices for $ 10.95. Today I ordered three of my favorites: the crispy crab meat roll, yellowtail and scallion roll and a shrimp tempura roll. All were excellent. I think the dragon roll is the best on the menu.
I usually oder take out. They are always polite and my order is always ready in 15 – 20 minutes.
Its a small intimate restaurant with seating for about 20 people. The décor is modern with an asian twist. I took my daughter here and she loved it (especially the edamame). They also serve Thai cuisine, which I have not tried yet. Overall a good low key spot for sushi.

Okay so their sushi isn’t super amazing but it’s the best I could find when it came down to delivery.
Their prices are way reasonable and their rolls are definitely good enough to satisfy my cravings.
My favorite of all rolls there — the magical roll. Drool…
I do sometimes wish that they would get rid of the delivery fee and that they were quicker on their services but not a deal breaker.

We always order delivery from here so I can’t say much on the physical restaurant itself, but the food is definitely 4-​stars worthy. They serve consistently good, above average sushi. They have a few Thai dishes on their menu as well (pad thai, red curry, green curry, etc.) — many of which I’ve also enjoyed. I usually order chicken red curry and a spicy salmon roll — both of which I would recommend.
Yellowtail is definitely one of our more reliable delivery options when we’re too lazy to go out.
