Vic Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I've read most of the reviews here on this post and like the writers, I agree with the fine atmosphere, the food and the efficiency of the chefs but I didn't agree with and noticed with question the size of my sushi rolls in comparison to the four young college students that came in after I arrived, two of which ate the sushi w/their hands (clear amateurs and it's crass, lol) Having dined in several sushi houses across Center city let alone Philadelphia over the years this place WAS one of my favorites until last night. I've been here about approximately 5 to 6 times and I always felt a little bit of customer bias but didn't pay it too much attention until last night my suspicions were confirmed when I sensed a feeling of terse, unfriendly customer service and bias. I won't indicate the chef that displayed this bias but attitudes like this flow from the top. I WON'T be returning here. I'll remain going to their competitions in the area rather than to be "Sneak dissed on the low" and keep your self respect, dignity and character as a more sophisticated person rather than to be on the receiving end of socially biased, micro aggressions. I only think of what size w/the mayor's rolls be were she to walk in and order the meal I ordered, what cm size difference would she get served? Im not having sushi here...

Just an outstanding, fantastic place. The BEST sushi in the city, and more reasonably priced than most other places. The three-roll special is popular for the price, but the sashimi, specialty rolls, and choice appetizers (tuna dumplings, pepper salmon) are where this place shines above the rest.

Intimate BYOB setting. Pretty much just the bar, but they've added a table a few years ago for extra seating. Usually a wait, but there's quick turnover at this place. Walk in, say hi, sit down by the window, and wait 5-10min until a seat opens up. Grab yourself a complimentary tea, or purchase a soda/drink from the fridges. Great place for a date: you close to each other, shoulder to shoulder, and share a large plate of sushi. Head next door to Helium comedy club for a nice...

Best sushi around. Keep in mind it's a very small place. Maybe 12-14 people can sit and eat at a time. You can call ahead and pick up your sushi if you would like. Good thing is that the service is very fast so you wont have to wait long.

Also theres a parking lot immediately next to Vic's so although you have to pay to park, if you are not familiar with Philly, you wont have to worry about wandering around Philly to go there. Also after you eat there you can exit Vic's and turn left, go up to the very first intersection and you will see Capogiro (Gelato) a cross the street for excellent dessert. Whenever I go to Philly I park, go to Vics, and stop at Capogiro. It's always a hit with...
