I love cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwiches as much as the next Philly resident, but when I’m craving something lighter and more refreshing, I set my sights on Philly restaurants that specialize in sushi. Luckily, the City of Brotherly Love is full of places to get your raw fish on. Mainstays like Morimoto have been dominating the sushi scene for years—and with good reason—but there are plenty of other restaurants to explore at a range of price points. Whether you’re on the hunt for seasonal nigiri in Fishtown or a vegan eel roll in Old City, these Japanese favorites won’t disappoint. Read on, and the next time you have a hankering for sashimi, sake and karaoke, you’ll know where to head to these 10 places for the best sushi in Philadelphia.
