Just moved to the neighbourhood and I’m so glad Kinme is so close to me! Not crazy expensive but oh so delicious. Upon recommendation from the staff I ordered the legally blonde 2 which was so fresh and flavourful. The sauce made it taste slightly wet, but when paired with the second salmon roll we ordered, it complemented very well. Some of the best sushi I’ve had in the city. Definitely my new favourite spot to bring friends when they visit Philly!
Such an underrated casual sushi spot!! It’s BYOB and has fresh fish! Impress your date by bringing them here for quality (and reasonably priced) sushi. The people here are also super nice. Been here twice now and tried a bunch of their rolls, including their special - crown salmon roll, and nirigis. Delicious and easy to walk in for a spot! If you’re lucky, maybe they’ll have some homemade desserts to wrap up your meal :)
I had the miso salmon roll and the yuzu lobster roll. Both were really good. My boyfriend got the Incredible Hulk roll and the Kinme fried rice with steak. The fried rice was really good because it had Chinese sausage, which is a flavor booster. This place is a BYOB but they also had their own tea and soft drinks. They give you a little bit of ice cream if you pay with Venmo or cash.
Everything was excellent and my server was so helpful. Hands down best sushi Ive ever had with rolls that are familiar to the typical American sushi, yet so highly elevated. Its also byob. Atmosphere is very nice and comforting. Intimate but not too in your business. The fellow guests there were all nice as well. I wouldnt give out 5/5 for anything either, it really was a spectacular time and delicious. Will definitely be going again with friends
Evie and Tran were amazing servers with great recommendations. They took great care of us. The sushi is so fresh and delicate. The combinations of the sushi chef are outstanding. Perfect mango sauce, lightly crispy spy wrap, and not filled to the brim with rice. WOW!!
Awesome sushi, service and vibe! I was there with a friend and had some tea and sushi. Fish is fresh and vinegar rice is nicely made. The best part is the lady is super sweet and talkative. We had a great talk! They are now having live music on Monday. So if you are looking for a shill wind-down Monday dinner, you must visit!
Absolutely incredible experience at Kinme Sushi! The quality of the sushi, the presentation, and the atmosphere are unmatched. Huge shoutout to Danny for the warm welcome, Evan for the amazing service and Nancy for the attentive and friendly service as always. Every visit feels like a special occasion. If you’re looking for top-tier sushi and exceptional hospitality, this is the spot!
I had an incredible dining experience at Kinme, the BYOB Japanese sushi spot! The Phantom Roll and South Pacific Roll were absolutely amazing, bursting with flavor and creativity. The Peach Tea was a delightful surprise, truly phenomenal. The friendly staff and cozy ambiance made it a perfect evening. I can't wait to return for more! Highly recommended! Edit: Came back again and it’s clearly the best sushi spot in Philadelphia. This place DESERVES more love and recognition!
