This tiny hole in the wall next to Helium Comedy Club has some of the best sushi I've ever had! They make everything right in front of you which was super fun and I especially liked their spicy salmon rolls! They do a special 3 rolls for $15 everyday, I'd highly recommend checking it out! And Vick the owner is also so nice and such a pro! It was so cool to watch him make the food. read more

Vic Sushi Bar - Fatty tuna with scallions - Sushi Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I joined some friends here for dinner one evening, and the sushi was high quality for a pretty good price. Ordered a few different rolls, including some specialty rolls and some salmon belly (which was nice and smooth), and everything tasted great. Service was pretty fast, handed over right over the counter, which is where all the seating is. It's not a big space; pretty much all the seating is right at the counter, which gives it a nice feel like being in a small sushi bar. They were also very efficient at cleaning up and nice about it (e.g., asking us if we were done with the soy sauce). Nice spot overall, and would be nice to return sometime. read more

Fresh, delicious, decently priced and quick! Definitely a good choice for sushi if you're with a small group. Only downside is the seating space is maxed out at 15 seats, but that's the beauty of it. read more

My favorite sushi place in Philly! Fresh, affordable and always very friendly and fast.

Sushi is always fresh and delicious! Service is fast, efficient and always friendly, very welcoming. Small inside, with only about 8 seats. Great spot for takeout. This was the 39 piece sushi platter with a seaweed salad. read more

Vic Sushi Bar - Spicy salmon and yellowtail jalapeño - Sushi Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I only tried DoorDash but OMG! This is the best sushi I've had in a long time with such killer deals! The salmon, tuna, eel, yellowtail, everything was melt in your mouth fresh! It wasn't fishy either! I love how you can get three rolls for 16.99. Their sashimi and nigiri were also so so so good..: not to mention the roll! The tuna belly was so good too! The avocado and eel were perfectly creamy! I dream about this meal and can't wait to eat it again soon!!! Vic sushi bar you have my heart! Hope to visit in person soon!! But for DoorDash... 5/5 stars!!! read more

Good for the price. I think this is one of the more affordable spots in the city, though not in the top 10 best tasting sushi. It's definitely not bad and great for take out! We ordered for take out and got the miso soup which was perfectly hot when we got home. We also ordered the tuna dumplings which were tasty but weird texture. They had a lot of avocado in them if you're into that texture. The 3 roll special is a good deal, but just keep in mind the rolls are very tiny. Overall, decent value read more

vic's has always been my go-to spot for a quick bite of sushi, i've been here so many times... i can't believe i haven't written a review until now! i always order pretty much the same thing here, i get the 3 roll special, typically with spicy salmon, spicy tuna, salmon, or salmon mango. my friend also likes the yellowtail scallion roll here. if i'm feeling extra hungry and wanting to splurge, ill get the best friends roll too. what can i say? i'm obsessed with salmon. vic's is a reliable spot for a solid bite of sushi. the service is fast, no frills. their rolls are basic, nothing fancy, but the fish quality is solid. the only seating is around the sushi bar. it fills up quick, but the turnover is fast as well. when the craving hits, vic's is my go-to spot. but i will say, if you're looking for fancy sushi or small talk with staff, this is not the place for you. read more

Great spot to check out before a comedy show. We went here for lunch. The place is pretty small with a few tables and small bar seating. I don't think the place has a restroom. The restaurant does have a small sink to wash your hands at. The server took our orders really quickly. I got the miso soup. The soup was delicious. I also got the 15 dollar 3 roll special. I got a cucumber roll, futomaki roll, and california roll. The futomaki roll was made of crab stick, egg, avocado, cucumber and some masago. read more

Vic is my hands-down favorite sushi restaurant in the entire world. I've been going here for years now, maybe for almost 10 years, and the restaurant has consistently beautifully crafted, reasonable priced sushi in a quaint environment. I did take out on the weekend and the sushi was done within 15 minutes, despite all of the restaurant seats being full. The sushi melts in our mouth; the rice and fish ratio is fantastic. Service is quick and no-frills, just the way I like it. read more

Really good quality for a cheap price. Owner is very nice. Always come here when I go to Philly.

Excellent place, the food was fast and amazing, the service is basic but it's what you need when you want to grab a quit bite. I will definitely come back! read more

This place is seriously amazing! It may be a bit of a hole in the wall, but don't let that fool you, bc this is some of the best sushi I've ever had in my life! It was very quick service and had amazing melt-in-your-mouth sushi. And considering we are from out of town and the phone was ringing off the hook and locals were coming in every 5-10 min to pick up takeout, can safely say this is also a locals-approved spot. Seriously can't recommend this place enough! read more

You know a place is great when you go back to it time and again. You know a place is great when you can sit and enjoy the perfect meal at the perfect price with no pretense and no distractions from the usual hustle and bustle of the city. This is what Vic Sushi is and always has been. It is not the typical Center City sushi restaurant that tries to be more showy than delicious. When people come here, they know they are getting good, solid sushi made with attention to detail. I know there will be many people who will espouse the virtue of places around the block or that have dishes revolving around on a conveyor belt. The former is more expensive and you're paying for it because of their location. The latter will not produce the kind of quality sushi you might want. Case in point: The salmon belly and red snapper nigiri sushi at Vic blows most places' equivalent sushi right out of the water... and that's a strong statement coming from me. This is a BYOB place, but please check out the interesting variety of drinks that are offered in the non-soda refrigerator. read more

Vic Sushi Bar is a must-try for anyone who is looking for quality sushi in the city. To start, the restaurant is small with only a handful of bar seats as far as indoor seating goes. However, I've never had trouble getting a spot during the 1-5pm time. From sitting at the bar multiple times for our meal, this place definitely gets busy with takeout orders throughout the day. Ordering online is easy, quick, and food is usually ready to pick up within 20 minutes. Service here is very attentive and quick. All of the workers are extremely friendly and helpful. I can say I've easily ordered here (takeout or dine-in) probably 8-10 times in the past few months and it never disappoints. The sushi quality, size, price, and varieties are some of the best in the city. Always very fresh tasting, and hard to not keep ordering more! We usually will order the three regular roll special ($15.95) and a couple of special rolls to share for two. The regular roll special is nice for ordering the classic favorites, while also leaving room to try a new roll here and there. Top 3 rolls we've tried: -Diamond roll -Salmon Mango roll -Best Friends roll Overall, Vic Sushi Bar is my number one go-to for takeout and is seriously worth every penny. I highly recommend trying any of the special rolls while also getting some classics. Vic Sushi Bar is amazing!! read more

The sashimi is fantastic. I'm not a sushi snob, just a regular person who honestly doesn't love fish that much, let alone raw fish, but the sashimi was silky and tender. The salmon especially marbled with fat was exactly as good as it looks. Definitely ordering again. The 3 roll special is filling. The sweet potato roll is a must get as always, it's sweet and crunchy like a dessert. Tuna scallion was pretty good. I didn't like the texture of the spicy salmon roll (it's like a very soft tartare, which someone else might like), so I'll try a different one next time. I love Vic's! It's a treasure. read more

Picked up take out from Vic Sushi Bar a couple nights ago after leaving Helium Comedy Club. Their 3-roll sushi special for $15.95 is by far the best 3 roll sushi deal I've had in the city, price wise and quality wise. The fish is fresh and they don't skimp on the ingredients. You only get the 3 rolls, no soup or salad, but that is not a deal breaker for me. read more

Wow! The sushi is fresh and delicious! I wouldn't say it's the best quality out of all of the places nearby, but it definitely is one of the best value! We ordered the 60 piece sushi platter and I was thoroughly impressed. The pieces were a generous size and everything was very delicious! We were a hungry bunch and it was perfect to feed 4 of us. There were no leftovers! Overall, highly recommend Vic Sushi-- I will be back! read more

My favorite sushi in center city! (but not my favorite venue) Vic Sushi Bar on Sansom street is tiny with no space for outdoor seating (Sansom is narrow with constant nearby construction). The inside has a sushi bar and barely any tables. Best to try to squeeze in just with one other person OR take out which is what we usually do. Their fish is always fresh, no matter what i order! My classic favs are anything salmon and white tuna. My kids love the fried sweet potato roll and they have a strong seaweed salad. Will be back frequently for take out! read more

Totally unassuming and wonderful. Small inside with only a sushi bar that can hold about 10 people (side by side), so either come early or order take away. Wide variety of rolls, plus great quality that won't break the bank. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back. read more

This is my go-to spot for sushi in Philadelphia! For the price, it's impossible to beat. As of October 2021, you can order the 3 Roll Special (anytime - including for dinner) for $12.75, which comes with 24 pieces of sushi. This would easily be $20+ in almost every other restaurant. Oh, and they do free delivery for any order $15+ (but don't forget to tip the deliverer)! To be honest, the taste of Vic's isn't on par with any high-end, mind blowing sushi restaurants out there. But if you're craving sushi and don't want to break the bank doing so, Vic's is hands down the best spot in Philadelphia. They'll be ready in 20 minutes if you call ahead for pickup. I usually get the spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and alaska roll (salmon avocado). It's exactly what you'd expect from a mid-priced sushi establishment. read more

Great prices, fresh fish, decent rolls. BYOB, very small counter seating, no tables. Perfect for neighborhood takeout or a quick lunch if you can snag a seat! We enjoyed our meal and the prices. read more

Vic's is great if you stick to the 3 roll special. The 3 roll special pricing is unbeatable here in Center City - you get 3 rolls for roughly $13. Unfortunately, it's not very filling. I've also tried their tiger roll, spicy combo, and the Samson roll, all of which are highly rated. My reaction to them all is, 'meh'. For that pricing, I don't think the flavors are strong enough. In fact, I don't think sriracha mayo and eel sauce are enough to bring the flavors together. I was quite disappointed by the mediocrity of the taste of the speciality rolls. I would come back, but maybe I'll just stick to the 3 roll special. read more

I ordered delivery, which was very prompt and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious! The tuna combo, which comes with a tuna roll, six pieces of tuna sushi, and miso soup is such a great value! The tuna was very high quality! The miso soup was delivered hot and was so tasty. I also ordered the shrimp shumai which were excellent! I would definitely recommend and look forward to ordering again! read more

This place is one of the best deals in the city for pretty high quality sushi. The first time I got Vic's sushi we got a sushi platter for two delivered. It was such a good price for the amount of food and the quality that we got. It was the perfect treat after a tough week. The next time we went, my friends and I tried to go to the restaurant and dine in, but the place is extremely small hole in the wall kind of vibe. They also don't take reservations so it was hard for my friends and I to get a seat (they only have bar seating). So we ended up just getting a bigger platter for takeout. Their bigger platters aren't as worth it I would say because there are a lot more filler pieces compared to the smaller sushi platter. Overall, this place is really good for takeout and probably good if you go with a party of two. It's a very cozy date night spot. It's also BYOB so bring a bottle when you go! read more

Vic Sushi Bar - Small sushi platter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A sushi bar for all kinds. I love it. You've got rolls to satiate all your gluttonous fantasies, and they also serve traditional nigiri, sashimi and maki for the purists like me. Only downside is they have no kitchen in this small space, so the menu is half as big as it could be. Recently repaired toaster oven properly goes Ding Ding now, and your unagi won't be beep beep any more. Thank you, chef! Ask about specials, and you'll be rewarded. The key to a successful sushi spot is you've got to keep the fish MOVING. And they do. It's fresh, fun, and fast. Bests: 3 roll special for $15. With all the choices, you're sure to find something that suits, and with all the rice, you'll be full. Great option. Sunomono. Creative and varied. Loved he mixture and the pickle flavors. Super win. Nori is dry, smoky and great quality. Anything with it is a win. Sushi rice is perfectly prepared, on temp, right moisture, right portion, just RIGHT. MMMM! And I mean that in a Ggrrrrr baby! Kind of way! Yes!! This is not a place to bring your large group. Limited seating, and it's busy. Bragging. On very special request, I got my favorite, Yellowtail Cheek hamachi kama ($30). It's not on the menu, and I had to order a week in advance. Oh my goodness it was like I was home at Hana (Phoenix). Thank you so much guys. So far, this is the finest sushi I've found in Philly CC read more

Vic's is my go-to place in Philadelphia and their 3-roll special can't be beat. Seating is limited, but I've never had a problem when I go (usually weekday lunches or dinners). Best for small parties (2-4 people) to make seating more flexible. You self-serve your drink (hot water, tea), which I personally really like. They also have other drinks if you want to purchase. In terms of food, their 3 roll for $11 deal cannot be beat. I typically get the Alaskan, Shrimp Tempura and Eel rolls for variety, but Futomaki, Spicy Salmon, and Spicy Tuna rolls are also great. You typically get 5 pieces of Futomaki since each roll is bigger/ more complex. These 3 rolls are definitely enough to fill you up -- and at a great price too! read more

Vics is my favorite sushi place in Philly! They are great value with the 3 rolls for $13 special, and the food is always very fresh. My go to order is the alaska roll, spicy salmon roll, and the eel roll, and I would highly recommend them all. The yellowtail scallion roll is also one of my favorites. They make their rolls with really tasty rice that makes it different and better than other sushi places. They are doing takeout only now due to COVID and it was super easy to call ahead to order and pickup! read more
