    Shrimp Tempura Appetizer
    Tina L.

    I ordered here one day for dinner. It was delayed but no notice was given. If they were busy, a notice or message would be greatly appreciated. So it kind of started on the wrong foot there, but I try to be understanding due to cov19 and everything. Food honestly was okay, but expensive. I got avocado shrimp bowl, but there wasn't much in it. I had the stack and that was good. I had chose cream cheese, kani and shrimp tempura. I also had shrimp tempura. It was decent. I don't think I would come back.

    I can't even tell what this is. but I didn't order gigantic cucumbers in all of my rolls.

    This is my first time ordering from this store. I ordered through the doordash app and was soooo disappointed with the quality of this sushi. There were gigantic pieces of soft and warm cucumbers in my rolls, barely any shrimp in the shrimp avocado rolls and about 9 pieces of ginger for the 24 rolls that I ordered. I'm so disappointed with this restaurant because I had such high hopes. There was so much rice in the sushi, it just felt like rice and seaweed balls. I'm trying to consider the fact that they closed about 20 minutes before my order was picked up so that could've been why but i'm still frustrated.

    Sashimi with scale still on it

    Staff was nice but the food was not good. Rice used for the sushi roll tasted a day old but it could have been Over cooked rice. Salmon sashimi still had scales on it. Avocado was hard and brown...

    My God my God is all I can say after biting into that San Juan sushi I just ordered. I live literally a few blocks away and was nervous to try the place since due to its location I grew up in north Philly never had anything good off Girard st but let me tell you I will be coming here as long as they're open food is amazing so flavorful and fresh im so mad i didn't try them sooner im puerto rican and black and love Asian foods so this was like a taste from heaven and totally fulfilled my craving.i can't wait to go eat here when covid is over with my bf and girlfriends its perfect. Must try the San Juan rolls. Thank you to JL Jupiter's video recommendation.

    Maaaaaaaaaannnn listen have you ever had an organism in your mouth?!?? I ordered from this place to have it delivered to my job and they did not disappoint. The presentation of the sushi looked very professional like you were looking at it on the menu. I ordered the salmon sushi rolls and from first bite I couldn't help but to roll my eyes with every chew. It tasted so fresh. Everything was just right. My co worker came over and tried one and loved it just as much that she called and placed an order for it as well. The price wasn't bad at all it was $7 for a Sushi meal which if you love sushi you know sushi is not cheap! It tasted so good that I was upset that I finished it lol. I will be ordering from this place more often. Hands down the best place in Philadelphia to get sushi! 5 stars across the board!

    Combining Japanese and Latin Cuisine is so genius..Love love love this place!! Had a get-together with some friends and was craving sushi. We ordered directly from their website and was able to pick it up within 25 min. Had Shrimp Avocado bowls, Casa Wings, Philly Green Dragon Roll, Takayama Delight, and they even had my favorite desserts- Tres Leches cake and Flan. Everything was super fresh and delicious. I'll definitely be sure to try the Lamb Chops and Steak next time

    And amazing combination of flavors in there sushi. Great music and drinks. The price is really good too

    I just moved to the area and stopped in for dinner randomly, and it was a great decision! They have a few traditional rolls, but most of the menu is creative selections. I didn't think I'd like corn beef on sushi, but it turns out the Boriqua roll is awesome. Highly recommend this place for the adventurous foodie type.

    El Morro

    For a good time..... I knew that title would intrigue you. But I used it in the context of great food and service. "La Sushi" is a quaint restaurant in Philly that will not only satisfy your hunger but need to socialize. We heard that La Sushi mixed traditional Japanese sushi with a Caribbean flair. They do and it is a resounding success. I had the "El Morro" which was shredded pork, avocado, beans and rice rolled in sweet plantains. Wow, not only did it taste fantastic it reminded me of my Puerto Rican grandmother's cooking. But if your in the mood for just sushi try their "Royal" or "Philly Green Dragon" both were well prepared, seasoned and a pure delight to your taste buds. The service was just as good and they tended to my family and I as if we were long lost friends (FYI our dinner group were all vaccinated and masked). It's a small spot with only a few tables properly spaced and protected so if they are at capacity do not fret take out is just as good. So if you happen to be in Philly I recommend you stop off at "La Sushi" and enjoy a great meal and service.

    El Boricua Roll,
    Wender O.

    Went to La Sushi and I had a very pleasant experience. I heard about this place via Instagram after seeing a few people post up pictures and knew I had to stop by. The restaurant has a "lounge" feel to it. For a neighborhood that's usually very hipster-ish, this feels slightly upscale( in a good way). I grabbed a seat at the bar and took a look at the menu. Now, for me , i don't particular like seafood, so I was interested in trying out the alternative sushi they offered. I'm a huge fan of Corned Beef ( seriously , i want it with everything !) so i wanted to try their Boricua Roll. From the very first bite, I already knew this place would become my "treat myself" spot. The Boricua roll consist of Plátano Madura ( fried sweet plantain), avocado, wrapped in rice with corned beef on top. It may sound weird but the sweetness of the plantain with the savory flavors of the corned beef is something i am here for every single day. I ate all 8 rolls with the quickness. 8 wasn't enough for me so I decided to try another tray. The server encouraged me to try the DJ Redz Roll(ñames after the owner) which consisted of Steak, chicken, shrimp(had this removed), avocado and sweet plantain wrapped in Rice rolls with Spicy Mayo-Ketchup Sauce drizzled on top. This was sooo good as well. I was finally content and full with those two things so I was ready to go. I saw that they had a full bar along with beers so I'm interested in seeing if they have happy hours specials in the future. I am also ready to go back and try the rest of the menu. The service was great and I look forward to coming here more often, it won't disappoint.

I preferred to sit outside, so I was eventually able to grab a table and a menu. It took a little while for someone to bring water and utensils. By the time they came over, I was already ready to order. I ordered the bistec encebollado and was impressed by the portion size! they give you a generous amount of steak. Unfortunately, the steak had quite a bit of fat around it, which isn't my favorite. When the food arrived, the rice was packed into a small cup, which made me think everything would be served hot. Unfortunately, none of the food was warm. Everything was room temperature and lacked flavor. Because it took a while for my meal to arrive, I got the impression that it may have been sitting out before being served. I ate it as it was because I didn't want to wait any longer. Taste-wise, the steak needed more seasoning, although the beans were good. Overall, the meal was average. After finishing, I asked for both a to-go box and the check. About 10 minutes later, the check arrived, but no box. One employee, William, really stood out. Whenever he stopped by, he was attentive, friendly, and on top of things. I appreciated his service and how proactive he was in checking on guests. Overall, the service had some delays, the food temperature was disappointing, and the flavors were underwhelming, not sure if I'll try this place again.

However, I felt as a party of 6, we were getting shortchanged. For example, there was a table of 2 next to us that was also partaking in the bottomless brunch menu. They were served one bowl of yogurt to share as a starter. Our table of 6 was served TWO bowls to share. Not 3, but 2. I felt similarly regarding the seafood portions we received. It's almost as if we would have been better off dining as 3 tables of 2 to get the full value of what we were paying. Aside from that, the seafood is high quality and fresh. My brunch burger was good, and I enjoyed the cocktails as well. However, I think the only way I can recommend this brunch is if you have a party of 2 or less.

The idea of it sounds nice but in reality, the music was too loud which made it difficult to chat and communicate with the server. The problem is the small space with a whole band. The music wasn't disruptive but just loud. I think it's nice to listen to if I wasn't trying to chat. There's happy hour menu 5-7PM with items from three large categories: ceviche, skewers, and fried starch. They don't post their HH menu online. We ended up ordering: caderas skewer, bacalaitos, short rib carne guisada, seafood asopao, vaca frita The server was nice about pointing out how our order of one regular appetizer with an entrée is already more expensive than going with their prix fixe with comes with an extra dessert. She allowed us to only have one prix fixe for the table, and she applied our most expensive entrée to it. Appreciate that! Skewer - I thought we ordered steak but it came out to chicken. Slightly frustrated about the language barrier. I legit tried to google and translate to find out what's what, and the quick search turned out wrong. bacalaitos - This was solid. The crab dip wasn't too creamy and filling. The chip was a bit oily but it was sturdy in holding up the dip. Kinda cool how the fish is in the chip. Short rib - It was tender. The red wine sauce was earthy. I think they gave too much sauce and it's a little too thin for what it is. A piece of food dropped from my fork and it created a big splash on my white shirt....I know it's my fault but I do think they can provide less sauce especially when there isn't bread or starch to soak it up. The variety of potatoes was pleasant. There were purple and yellow ones which all had slightly different tastes. Since we got the prix fixe we ordered the flan dessert. The server gave us complimentary buñuelos because we were celebrating a birthday. They only had three desserts on the menu, and my group struggled to decide which one to pick. Two of them didn't like coconut, so it was easy to eliminate one of them. I'm glad the complimentary dessert wasn't that one. The flan was the denser side with obvious air bubbles inside which indicates too high temperature and overcooking. The pickled papaya wasn't additive in terms of tartness or sweetness. The buñuelos came out warm. It was kind of bland without the sauce, but the sauce itself wasn't unique either. Overall my friends like the food. I think it's solid but could use some fine tuning. I was more bothered by the environment. I'm open to trying this place again but I might prefer to try new restaurants when I visit Philly next time. Also I think they're a bit pricier amongst nearby options. They have a 3% credit card surcharge which is added to the food subtotal, and tax is applied on top of the surcharge as well.
