I always devour my takeout before I can take a picture for a review! Finally I'm just like ok I don't have a picture but I'll still write - BEST SUSHI SPOT!!! I live a block away, I love picking up from this place. read more

Our server was so kind and the food was amazing. Literally couldn't wait to take a picture before I started eating. It was fantastic! Very cute little place. read more

Great for what it is. Takeout sushi spot in prime Rittenhouse with a 3 rolls for $16 deal you can't beat. Other menu options too like udon. Would only recommend for the price read more

Great takeout sushi place around the corner from me. I ate in once when I first moved and they have a few small tables inside, but definitely more of a takeout vibe. No complaints on the sushi and the prices are fair! read more

Machi Sushi Bar - Futomaki Spicy Tuna Roll Shrimp Tempura appz 5pcs - Sushi Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

probably closer to a 3.5 stars. a casual takeout spot located in the Rittenhouse Square area. there are several tables in the front of the interior. it's a small space that is cleanly maintained. majority of the business seems to be takeout and delivery. but if you are looking for a relatively quick meal--this is a good choice especially if you want sushi rolls or other. had a quick lunch with a group. food came out fairly quickly after ordering. enjoyed some tempura that was fried well, not oily, and was light yet satisfying as tempura should be. ordered spider roll which was basically fried soft shell crab, cucumber, avocado, sauce, etc. the roll was satisfying and hit the spot for wanting savory / comfort eats without being too heavy. service is quick and friendly enough. English by the staff seems a little limited, but it works bc the menu isn't very complicated. read more

I ordered sashimi and it was really fresh. Very friendly staff and highly recommend this cute little spot.

This place seems to be where the locals like to grab their sushi. I think that's a good sign! Indeed, I enjoyed the three roll special. I chose the Alligator Roll, King Salmon Roll and the Rainbow Roll. Too much for one person, but the deal was too good to pass up. The look of the restaurant could be improved. It looks a bit cluttered and busy. The staff working tonight were very nice. I love that when I checked in with my Yelp app, an offer popped up and I was able to get a free drink! read more

Machi sushi was very good! It wasn't the best sushi in the city, but it is one of the best values! Some takeout sushi tends to be not as good, but this wasn't the case at all. The food was perfectly timed and everything was very enjoyable. We ordered Tricolor sushi tuna, salmon, yellowtail), tuna roll, Tornado roll, eel (unagi) sushi, spring rolls, miso soup for two people. It was a perfect amount of food and a perfect value. Ordering online was very easy, and pickup was also very easy. The staff working were very nice. The restaurant itself is small but I would definitely be back for some more takeout sushi! read more

Machi Sushi Bar - Tricolor sushi, tuna roll, Tornado roll, eel (unagi) sushi, spring rolls, miso soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The food in atmosphere is absolute heaven. I couldn't recommend a better sushi spot in West Chester with better service.

I travel for a living and every now and then I happen on to a place that you wouldn't think would have the greatest of food. Well if you're looking for ambiance Machi Sushi Bar is not the place for you. It seems that the majority of their business is takeout, but they do have several tables and the inside is mostly clean. Two young children screaming and playing while I ate was at best annoying... but cute none the less. Mom was working and putting the to go orders together and paying little attention to the noise. The food: I had the wonton soup which the broth was hot and tasty but the wontons were obviously not made there and had little taste. The sushi however was very good. I had maguro, Sake and a spicy tuna roll. It was all tender and delicious. It was obvious that my positive opinion of the food is "right on" as there was a constant flow of food heading out the door the entire time I was there. I was in a hotel so ordering sushi to my room is not something I would normally do which is why I stayed in the restaurant to eat. But if you live in the area and you're looking for some really good and reasonably priced sushi to eat at the house...this might be your place. I probably wouldn't eat here again on another trip to Philly but not because of the food. Philly is loaded with great restaurants and I'm always looking for some place new to try! read more

I was out walking looking for a place to eat. Walked past here and decided to stop. Looked interesting. Lots of different sushi here so hope it great. The place is small seats about 18 people max. But I see a lot of locals coming in to pick up their orders. You have two guys making the sushi. No music no TV, thank you. Location is on a small street and no real parking , but I think people from Philadelphia are looking de to that l. No drinks made here it is all in the fridge. I got boba. I ordered yellow tail and white tuna. AMAZING!! I will come here just for the sushi alone. Just the right amount of rice. Cuts down f fish were not big but not small either. Put some wasabi and it was so smooth. Good fish. Udon beef soup is great thick noodles, broth could be more brothy but still good. Staff is not friendly, do not welcome you, speak different language the entire time. Don't interact. But since I came to eat it is not that much of an issue. Have to say sushi is great here!! Place keeps busy so locals know the place better is good. read more

Consistently, very good quality food. The sushi combo dinners and appetizers are great.

My whole family loves the sushi. prices are great lunch and dinner. great service and delivery Cozy space in side read more

The food was wonderful and the delivery service was very quick However, the order was missing items and some items were not what ordered The person taking phone order could barely understand English and it was frustrating (And who know what she was translating) If they had someone taking orders that could understand English and confirm order, then the rating would be 5star read more

Consistently fresh Salmon, service always stellar -- orders are always on time, our go to for sushi!

If you have a food allergy, this is not the restaurant to order from. I specifically indicated GLUTEN FREE. There's crunch in most of the rolls.- rolls that never have crunch unless requested. I'm highly allergic to gluten. As such, my order was inedible and caused me to have severe stomach pains. On an aside, the rolls contain 1/2 the portion of sushi that is usually included. There's plenty of other options for sushi. This is caused by carelessness and sacrificing quality to make an extra buck. read more

I came here for the first time today. The menu looked affordable and seemed like other people have enjoyed this restaurant. When I came in, there was nobody else in the restaurant -- it seemed like most of the business is based on takeout and delivery. I ordered a chirashi, which the menu described as 18 pieces of sashimi, rice, and soup or salad. When the food arrived, it was a tiny and sparse looking dish, and when I counted my sushi only had 14 pieces. It also did not come with soup. I had to speak up twice before the chefs made up the difference and gave me the soup. There was no apology - the first time I asked them about this they dismissed me and did not address my concern. The sushi was average in taste. I came away with the impression that they were skimping on the portions that they advertised in their menu, and feel that there are comparably priced sushi restaurants near here that have better service. read more

Excellent value in low-priced rolls ($5), 2-piece nigiri or sashimi ($5) and many more. Awesome neighborhood spot to satiate your craving for some awesome rolls, or favorite tempuras (and more!) from the kitchen! AMAZING AND FRESSSSH Value-level fish from the bar (can't beat $5 for two pieces, anywhere) is fresh and fresssh. Radish and carrot are fresh, and white ginger and wasabi is similarly good. Low-sodium soy sauce is the norm in the delightful ceramic mini-carafes. DING NOT BEEP I'll flee if I hear beep-beep-beep from an unagi or salmon skin roll order, and here gave a DING! Yesssss! IN THE END Go for one of the many many rolls and kitchen dishes! Value is the theme here, and you will not be disappointed. But this is not the place to be transformed to another universe by life-changing maguro, tamago or toro. BUT THE RESTROOM! Sink fixtures haven't been cleaned in months, nor corners of the floor or toilet. Such omissions are a massive flag for me... makes me wonder what the kitchen prep areas are like. read more

Machi Sushi Bar - Lunch special 3 rolls: spicy tuna, salmon avocado, and yellowtail scallion - Sushi Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The gist; Good quality, service needs work, please stop randomly closing after happy hour. I'm from the PNW and thus picky about seafood, but aside from serving imitation crab and calling it "crab", the food passes my test. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cuts of fish, and even enjoyed the noodles. I wish they would simply close after happy hour, as twice we've called ahead to see if they're seating, only to arrive and be told they've stopped seating for 1-1.5 hours. Very inconvenient and it really turns us off. Servers are somewhat green and could use menu education (ours didn't know about the imitation crab, NA drink options, and we waited 45 minutes for a roll we checked on multiple times), but these are all kinks that work out with time. The staff seem generally happy, which is always nice. 4-stars for excellent value for price, even during dinner pricing. read more

I tried the Almond Dragon Roll based on the reviews of another Yelp member, this roll has yellowtail, salmon, aspargus inside, top with eel, avocado, almond flakes, wasabi & eel sauce. This roll sure has alot going on but my opinion is the almond flakes do not go well with wet rice and sushi. Lesson learned. The Shrimp Shumai was just okay. I get the Shrimp Shumai from almost every sushi place I visit and this was about run of the mill or a little below average. If you choose your rolls wisely you can get a good deal here, as for me bucking $20 for one roll and run of the mill shumai thats on me. I see myself coming back to try there Sashimi Regular advertising 18 pieces of assorted Sashimi for $18.95 which seems like a pretty good deal. Will update review once I try this item. Pro-tip : if you check in on yelp while here you get 10% off! read more

I live close by and love this place. Pretty affordable for good sushi! I come here at least a few times a month

Not the best sushi I've ever had but definitely a good deal overall. My favorite was the sweet potato tempura roll for sure.

I get takeout from here very consistently. Such great, affordable sushi. My go to's are eel avocado and salmon avocado. They always get my order correct, they're quick, and the sushi always tastes great. Cant go wrong with Machi if you want reasonably priced sushi in the city. Love taking it to rittenhouse to eat it there! read more

Pretty awesome options for sushi. Basic rolls can come in a special of two or three for a pretty good price, and if you want some a la carte choices, they have crazy combos that I thoroughly enjoyed. All of the appetizers looked amazing, but I settled on tuna balls which were pretty big and filled with other fish and great flavor. The white tuna and scallion was good, as well as the rolls with mango, coconut, and salmon. Only the plain white tuna roll was a little boring, but tasted great with soy sauce and wasabi. All in all, looked good, huge rolls when you buy the specialty items, and the fish is fresh, obviously not cold or tough, and the prices were right. Only problem for me was that the simple sushi (white tuna, salmon) were pretty tiny. All the others were plump, and the special rolls were hefty. I mostly judge sushi on its fish quality and taste, and for me, it was the freshness and the creativity of rolls that make me want to come back! read more

Me and my friends came here for dinner. This place is so reasonably priced! I came here around 7 PM to get dinner, we were the only customers. However you can tell all the people working at Machi are busy preparing for the delivery order. This seems like a popular sushi place for delivery. There were only two tables for seating and four seats for bar seating. Small place but I'm a fan!! I ordered the spicy tuna roll and the fried sweet potato roll, these are my go to rolls. They have really good deals 2 rolls for $8.50 and 3 rolls for $12.50. My friends they got the fancy rolls and they were all so good. We finished them in a matter of 10 minutes. After sushi, of course we checked in on Yelp since we purchased $25+, and we received the free cheesecake (shown in pic). We all left with happy stomachs :) I will definitely come back again when I visit philly the next time. read more

Cute little neighborhood spot. Great selection of funny and yummy rolls. Friendly service too!

I ordered the wakame (sashimi salad) and the tuna tasted luke warm and fishy. Upon closer inspection, I have found my tuna had a brown tint. After tasting it again it was obvious that it tasted like fishy tuna. My tuna roll also had a brown tint and off tasting as well. I Look up the pa health department violations they had recently and its not good. I hope I dont get sick, fml. read more

Nothing went terribly wrong but the flavor and quality just is subpar compared to other places around here. I tried Boston roll, Philadelphia roll and shrimp roll. read more

It's a no from me. We ordered takeout to eat in the park. The sushi was lukewarm (not supposed to be fried, so not sure what happened there). I ordered a salad, got no dressing. And the soups were wrong. We won't be back and definitely wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I like this place for the freshness and flavor of the raw fish and the price. Not the best sushi I have ever had, but the best I have found in the area west of Rittenhouse where I live. Take out always best option even before pandemic as it is a tiny place. Also, they treat my gluten free needs with respect and knowledge read more

The maki rolls here are okay, not good or great and the reason why I gave it 2 stars is because it's basically just okay. The one bad thing is the maki rolls don't stay together. I know I bought takeout and took it home about 6 blocks away but my maki was still warm so when I picked any of the three rolls up with my chopsticks the nori wouldn't stay together. Okay, here's the thing, I know how to make maki rolls. I won an amateur sushi contest and while that doesn't make me an expert by any means, my maki rolls have never fallen apart (thanks Madame Saito!). The rolls were not the precision rolls I've made. I can make Morimoto's "stain glass sushi," for example, so I expect any sushi restaurant I go to to be able to do the same, especially since these chefs do it for a living. Their rolls were sloppily put together like many other places I've been to. Maybe it's all the takeout orders they got, but that's no excuse. For the price, Machi is okay. I think Vic Sushi nearby does a better job, although their rolls are smaller. I got the Futomaki, the spider roll, and a yellowtail scallion roll. The Futomaki (basically a bigger version of the California roll) was the smallest Futomaki I've ever eaten. It wasn't even 2" in diameter. Futomaki should be a little larger than that and it should stay together. I wonder if they would make the Futomaki larger if I ate there instead of having them squish everything into a little takeout sushi plate. The spider roll was a bit heavy on the batter. It was not a quality spider roll at all. It added $1.50 to my 3 roll platter price. I don't mind paying extra for good stuff, but this wasn't that good. The yellowtail scallion roll was what I would call "serviceable." A good chunk of fish. A little bit of scallion. Like many other sushi places, this place seems to fear making anything spicy probably to satisfy a wider range of tastes. In fact, these rolls were all very bland. I was kind of hoping to find an inexpensive go-to sushi place, but this isn't it. read more

Ordered Machi Sushi from Seamless. I liked the pick three rolls deal and I even got $10 off from seamless so I had an avocado salad as well. I had the sweet potato, the AAC, and the avocado mango. They were good but average tasting sushi rolls. Didn't really blow me away. Same with the avocado salad, tasted like the title. Nothing special, very basic. The delivery was super fast though so I appreciated that. read more
