Whenever I am craving for sushi and near Chinatown, this restaurant is my go to spot. I definitely recommend the Salmon burger and the Marilyn Monroll if you want to try something different and be WOW. I love the Marilyn Monroll as it always come out so tasty and delicious. The salmon burger is also really good, but I would recommend to share it if you have a small stomach like mine. The sashimi here are okay, not the best but they are decent. The drink menu looks so tempting with so many options, and I loved my guava green tea here. I have visited this place for a couple times, and the food is always consistently good. The server is also nice. Definitely worth to try if you want sushi and happen to be in Chinatown. read more

My girl called me out to get bubble tea and I decided to tag along. But I also haven't eaten- so I decided to go to bubble fish. A combination of the two! I've been here before when it first opened and i remember enjoying it, but I ordered a guava banana milkshake. And I was so happy to read that all their milkshakes were using Lactaid. Ya girl cannot have dairy. And it was so delicious. I wish they had a bubble tea trick or a place for their drinks because i wanted another. The size of the cup was fairly large too. We also ordered uni and oysters. The oysters were delicious and the taste was so flavorful. The uni (my friend ordered - I don't normally eat it) and she enjoyed it as well. We got sushi, but my only issue was that I didn't like what i ordered. But the drinks made up for it. read more

Very sorry to say that the sushi rolls did not stick together, they tend to fall apart. Understand that there are a lot of varieties but a bit confusing with the Taiwanese and Japanese concept, spicy tuna roll was tasteless, tuna taco as appetizer was okay. Waited for quite sometime for the orders to come, perhaps need more team members, the venue is okay with modern touch. Price wise, not quite as expected and a little bit overpriced, the title of the restaurant on the menu has bubble tea, but the signage upon entry says "not serving bubble tea". read more

Really spacious spot to grab sushi and boba. They are BYOB and charge a $5 corking fee. The fish seems fresh and rolls were solid. It wasn't anything that was super out of the ordinary. read more

Located in the Chinatown part of the city, I was expecting a bit more but aside from the food along with the restaurant looking aesthetically pleasant, the taste and substance of our meal was pretty underwhelming. The appetizers including the takoyaki, fried calamari and baked chicken did not have any strong flavors to it and the thing that stood out most about these were just the fried texture giving it a decent crunch. The rolls did not taste very fresh and did it feel like the flavors came together for either roll we got. This is a decent place for a quick lunch bite with average service but it doesn't stand out from other Japanese restaurants. read more

Service was excellent. I decided to try some cooked food as I have had a lot of sushi lately. Hamachi Kama- reasonably priced and excellent. Cooked to perfection and nice dipping sauce. Cooked mackerel also tasty although I wish it would have come with its own sauce (I used the hamachi kama sauce left over which went well with it). Looking forward to trying the grilled oysters and clams but decided to wait until a happy hour when they are considerably reduced in price. Also looking forward to trying some other items on the menu. read more

We were walking by late at night through Chinatown and wanted to pop in somewhere for a late meal. Bubble fish was open. Some of the best sushi I've ever had in Philadelphia definitely coming back. The service was phenomenal. Our waiter was adorable. read more

Don't go here for Taiwanese food. Came hungry and left hungry because it was inedible. The braised pork rice came with a heaping portion of sliced lettuce and the smallest scoop of pork over rice that was so old and dry that it was crunchy. Pork was too salty as well. This is the poorest representation of the dish I have ever come across. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup leaves much to be desired as well. The noodles were undercooked and the broth tasted like water with spices dumped in it. Clearly no love was involved in its creation. The beef was so tough and rubbery that my partner and I were struggling to chew it. Service and ambiance were unremarkable. It does seem to be a family run business, so I wish them the best. read more

My friend and I came to Bubblefish on a Saturday around 5:15pm for an early dinner, and we were seated right away. I ordered the Lavender Oolong Milk Tea, and my friend got the Rose Milk Tea with Strawberry Jelly. Both teas were huge and absolutely delicious! To eat, I got the Green Peace Roll (sweet potato tempura, asparagus, cucumber, mango, topped with sliced avocado and mango puree) which was amazing. My friend got the Chicken Teriyaki Bubblefish Box. The box came with a California Roll, shrimp tempura, vegetable tempura, sautéed vegetables, and rice. The box is such a great deal - you get an incredible amount of food for only $12.95. I definitely plan to come back and try some of the other teas from the massive tea menu. read more

My office is in the Chinatown District, so I have passed by Bubblefish many times and when I do-they always have many patrons during lunch and dinner times. So, I decided today is the day! A friend asked me out for lunch & we decided on Bubblefish! This was a good decision because the food was fresh and delicious! We ordered the Calamari; Mango & Shrimp Tempura rolls; Taiwanese Salt Chicken & Hawaiian Passion Smoothie. Let's discuss the good 1st-the rolls and chicken were 'Amazing'!! The Hawaiian Passion Smoothie was light & refreshing. Now, the bad: The Calamari tasted and looked as it was previously frozen-under seasoned-took a few bites and pushed that away. Service: A bit slow during lunch! If you have a tight hour for lunch-you may cut it close-come for dinner!! Lol Tip: They are a BYOB establishment -so come prepared-if I did could've had a nice boozy lunch-guess it was better that I wasn't aware! Ha! read more

Every time I say the phrase "sushi burger" to anyone who has never heard of it, 99% of the time, their reaction would be "oh my gosh, that sounds goooooood!" You will find it here, at Bubblefish. I have taken different friends and my mom here to try the sushi burger, and they all seem to rate it 9 out of 10 delicious. I too, love it, of its intense flavor, the healthy yet yummy ingredients, as well as its unique presentation. Of course Bubblefish has more to offer. I have recently tried their Veal with black pepper sauce -- meaty and deliciously sweet, and the Soy ramen (tasty soup and tender pork!) . They also specializes in different bubble tea, tea, and desserts. Seems to be a good place to have afternoon tea with friends! read more

I went to bubblefish for the first time for dinner and enjoyed it but had a few issues with how they make their sushi. The first major positive is that they are BYOB and they sell bubble tea in many different flavors. I ordered the maki combo platter and the Godzilla roll. It was a TON of food. They have really big portions for a good price and for a sushi place. I just really don't like how they cut and mix up their fish into a paste. They don't keep their fish as slices inside their rolls, which I think affects the taste. Either way, I'll probably order the sashimi next time to get sliced fish. read more

I've been getting delivery from Bubblefish for a while now but finally made it in to the restaurant! It's a beautifully decorated restaurant and very clean. The service initially was slow and it took a while to get water. However, I think there was a miscommunication with the waiters and once figured out, it was great service. We started with the takoyaki which is much better in the restaurant vs. delivery. We also had edamame which was slightly undercooked and had a little too much salt. The star of our meal was the sushi rolls. We tried their signature rolls which were HUGE. Definitely pricy, but it was difficult to finish because of how much they give you. We ordered the Bubblefish Roll, Angry Dragon Roll, Marilyn Monroll and Mars Roll. The Marilyn Monroll and Mars Roll were my favorites! The Mars Roll is so pretty and has gold flakes on it! All of the sushi was incredibly fresh. If I'm in the area and craving sushi I would definitely go here but their delivery is so convenient! read more

Got: Cold grass jelly with 3 toppings Price: $6 or $7 for the jelly, $6 for the eel roll, standard Value: Average value for trendy sushi place I missed my Megabus on my way to NY. It was pouring and my friend and I needed shelter from the rain. Soo we stumbled into this place expecting to sit down, order something real quick just so we could make use of the roof over our heads, and use the restroom. The service was quick and attentive. Not overly crowded (2:30pm Saturday). Nice ambiance and decoration. Can definitely see this place as a date spot. The eel roll came out quickly and was pretty standard rolls. 8 pieces for about $7. Not complaining, pretty good. The grass jelly took a little longer but came out in a heaping bowl and my choice of 3 toppings (included): boba, taro, and aloe jelly. They didn't give condensed milk which was totally fine bc I would've skipped on it anyways. Overall, nicely decorated "date quality" sushi place that has boba, ramen, desserts, and other Asian goodies. read more

Chinatown Philadelphia, born and raised Drinking Boba was how I spent most of my days OK I can't back that up. I'll save the rest for a 5 star review. Better than Bubbafish, which is the nickname of the shrimp caught by Bubba in the movie Forrest Gump. Only cast and crew know this, and of course, I'm both (tosses hair). So at first, I was absolutely delighted that they have black sugar milk tea here... but a little bit less delighted with the actual product. It was a lacking in something. It didn't taste like brown or black sugar. I was disser-pointed, both with the drink and my spelling. The service was okay. They're a big, lavish, busy place with a lot of fancy ish sit-down dining going on. It looks like it would be a nice place for a date night. But certainly the bubble teas are not too cheap, especially considering the unusual and troubling fact that they only sell large. Despite the excellent selection I wasn't thrilled with the one that I got. Black sugar AKA brown sugar AKA Okinawa is my addiction so I've had way too many of them to count. A lot of places do make them well but a lot of places don't, and this is the latter. At least they make them and for that I will give four stars. They also have super cute huge fish swimming around in a huge tank, but that makes me kind of sad, as beautiful as they are. Anyway, kids of Philly, don't mean to burst your Bubble But the teas at Bubblefish ain't nothin' but bland See what I did there See See? No? OK. read more

Used to be one of my favorite places for sushi but has fallen off. Food was not fresh tasting and took over an hour and half to be delivered (15 minute drive tops).

Best Sushi and best oysters I have ever had!! I found this spot when shopping downtown and I am so glad to have dined here! Let me just say first, the sushi rolls and oysters are a WORK OF ART! The chefs truly are on another level. The service was kind, inviting, prompt and accommodating. And the restroom were well kept and clean. Everything we ordered was delicious: Spicy garlic edamame, angry dragon roll, another roll with tempura shrimp (can't remember the name-sorry), oysters. You will not be disappointed! In fact you will be delighted! I wish I would have tried the beverages, they lied really cool and tasty! read more

I may have just found my new favorite sushi spot (and favorite spot in general)!! They have an extensive drinks menu and sushi menu but also so so much more. Here's the breakdown of the belly-busting dinner my partner and I devoured: ALMOND SESAME MILK TEA: The sweet scent of almond and nutty taste of sesame swept me up to the milk tea heavens. TAIWANESE FRIED CHICKEN: Fried perfectly to create Taiwan's iconic crispy yet light batter. The drunk food you didn't know you needed. BEEF/LAMB SKEWERS: Pure meaty goodness with a spicy kick at the end. TAKOYAKI: The thin crispy outside perfectly contained the creamy, fishy batter. Bonus points for the bonito flakes dancing on top. EEL & AVO ONIGIRI: Seaweed was a bit stale and tough to eat, but overall pretty good. NINJA OYSTER ROLL: Whatever mad scientist came up with this monster combination was onto something. MARILYN MONROLL: The torched tuna had a unique smokey flavor, definitely a new experience for sushi. Bonus points for puns. read more

Ordered four different favors of origiri for delivery. When I got it I was shocked by the fact that they boxed everything together. How am I supposed to know which is which? This is so stupid I have to cut all of it to see what is in the middle so I know which are mine and which are my co-worker. I usually got my origiri from other place and it come with their own package and have the name on it. If they don't have this kind of package at least they so have separately box each of them and write what is the favor on the box. 打包的人是个傻比 read more

I LOVE SUSHI. MY DREAM = EAT SUSHI EVERYDAY. This place made me love sushi even more! I am very suspicious of sushi places in Philly, since I'm from LA and my mom made me very good homemade sushi. But I am impressed. This is my go-to sushi place in the city, it is best tasting and price worthy! I can't really review any other dishes since I've only tried their sushi and sashimi.. but sushi and sashimi are hands down the best in the city! read more

I'm only writing review solely from the item I had. I got the Taiwanese beef noodles soup here, and was very disappointed. It's not authentic at all compared to all the Taiwanese beef noodles soup I've tried. The noodles they used are like spaghetti noodles and the beef is super hard to chew. It's not terrible but i would not call it Taiwanese beef noodle soup, it's just regular beef noodle soup. It needs more fresh herb and vegetables. I definitely want to come back to try their sushi though, I think that's what they're specialized for. read more

We came here to eat after checking out the 2020 flower show and don't regret it at all. We normally pass by the restaurant but after tonight's visit we will be coming back. The decor was chic and clean. I enjoyed the style of the restaurant. All the servers were well versed in the menu, polite, and efficient. Everyone is well trained in their job. The sea foam froth green tea drink was made super fast and was super! You can taste the tea so strongly, I love it so much. We had two beef skewers for an appetizer, but it was too chewy so next time we'll try the chicken skewers. The Sashimi Heaven was SO worth the money. For $24 I received a literal boat of sashimi that came in 3 pieces per fish. The taste was phenomenal as well! Totally insta worthy and definitely highly recommended for any sashimi lover. The beef curry came with stir fry veggies that ended up being my favorite part of the meal. What a surprise! I really don't enjoy how chewy the beef, so if you're ordering this get the shrimp! read more

02/22/2020 I came back here for dinner before a concert. I ordered the Sushi and Sashimi Platter for One.

Other than, it's still a good place for your sushi fix and I would recommend here. read more

Absolutely love Bubblefish. Especially their late night hours. Service is extremely friendly, especially the cashier at the counter. She definitely went out of her way to assist me and hubby. Hubby was craving for Onigiri. Since we park right outside of Bubblefish, why not. I desperately want to try their famous Sushi Burger, so I got it tonight. Hubby got one Phoenix Shrimp Onigiri and two Crabmeat Salad Onigiri. He dog all three out the moment we got home lol. For me, the Sushi Burger was big, like I got to take two bites, to take some off the burger. I don't like fish, but I definitely wouldn't mind to eat Sushi Burger again:) It was that delicious, Yum!! read more

Quite possibly one of my new favorite sushi places in Philly! Came in for a casual dinner, table of 4 on a Friday night. Place was packed but we were seated immediately. We ordered several rolls, and as I looked around the restaurant, everyone's sushi was beautifully presented on special wooden blocks, and platters - 10/10 for presentation. To add, they have a wide selection of teas/bubble teas/smoothies to go with your meal. My favorite: THE VERY MANGO SMOOTHIE - highly recommend, it's a huge mug and it's great for sharing. We got the spicy maki combo, the shrimp tempura onigiri, the monster roll, the oyster ninja, and the eel avocado roll. ALLLLL FANTASTIC. Rice to fish ratio was perfection (I'm a huge sushi ratio fanatic - I like little rice and lots of content) It came in this huge bamboo/wooden disc platter, perfectly aligned and very picture worthy. Fish was FRESH and rolls were packed. The prices were all very adequate and fair, I'd say it was a bang for my buck. Overall, super pleased with my meal. Ladies who were serving with us, super nice and sweet. Super attentive to our table, I love that. I'd definitely be returning!! read more
