Sushi & Poke is a restaurant where they make it clear, they are “doing what [they] love.” The prices are extremely reasonable, and the portions of the entrees are on par with the prices (except the sushi rolls). The most important aspect of sushi is the freshness of the fish; and the sushi is very fresh and tasty! The menu offers a wide variety of items, from speciality rolls, and a la carte sushi or sashimi to Ramen soup, Bento boxes, and Poke bowls.
My order was delivered accurately and in a timely manner with exceptional service. I have not eaten inside the establishment, so I can’t comment on the restaurant’s ambiance, sushi bar, etc. What I can assure you, of the many places you can order from, Sushi & Poke is a winner, and I’ll be ordering again. My second time- I order a poke bowl and the four (4) sushi rolls- white tuna jalapeño, salmon avocado, tuna avocado, and yellowtail scallion. There were six pieces to a roll, which is the average. The portion was disappointing. At Sushi and Poke, for the less than $1 more, I wish they made them large enough for 8 slices of the same size or larger and 6 slices. It’s shortsighted.
The bowls are approximately 6” full of the fish, base, and toppings you select. All the ingredients are fresh. They could note which of the sauces, aside from the Shoyu is gluten-free, as well as some of the toppings. When ordering rolls, they could add enough sauce for four (4) rolls vs what you’d get if you ordered two (2). In food, as in like, attention to detail, minor differences, and non-myopic thinking are what makes huge distinctions. Nonetheless, each poke bowl exceeded expectations, and is priced right. The second time ordering, I order the poke bowl with two proteins- tuna and salmon. Sushi Rice was the base, with tuna, salmon, gluten-free shoyu sauce, masago, radish, purple cabbage, edamame, pistachio, and sesame seeds. Again, it was fresh, and delicious.
Don’t hesitate, order, or visit their location at 1310 South Street in Philadelphia. Well...
Read moreLove this place! I live in the area and have gotten takeout from here several times now. The poke is absolutely amazing (and affordable!), the ingredients are so fresh and the amount of toppings is generous. I’ve also tried the ramen, which was generously portioned & includes super fresh ingredients. The katsu bento box was more than enough for my partner and I to share just one for dinner - the chicken is crispy and juicy!
Additionally, every time I’ve walked into the store to pickup my order, the folks have been incredibly kind and offer exceptional service. You can tell they put a huge effort into what they’re doing here, and that they really want their customers to be happy.
The bottom line is: this place is great, affordable, has a huge menu, I’ve loved every single thing I’ve tried from here. So happy they opened a...
Read moreYesterday I visited in the evening. We were the only dine in customers. One lady came in after us for takeout. It took at least 10 minutes for the waitress to come over to our table. I asked for water since this is usually what they bring you while looking at your menu. We also placed our order at the same time which included an appetizer and soup. The water took another 5-10 minutes to receive. 35 minutes after we arrived we received our whole order. Normally the appetizer and soup come while waiting for the main dish, but nope not here. I don't think they have good customer service as we were the only one there and everything took too long for for my liking. I gave the lowest recommended tip...
