DK Sushi

I really enjoyed coming here on a quick lunch walk. I wasn't overly hungry so I just grabbed a spicy salmon roll to go. Was it a little pricey? Sure. But I loved being able to watch them make my roll fresh, I thought the presentation was so cute, it was so easily setup to go, flavorful, and fresh. Thought it was a really great quick meal!

While this was packaged so nicely, aesthetically pleasing, and quite delicious, it's incredibly overpriced... But I had to try it! There is so much edamame compared to the sushi and fish, and I didn't really finish all of the sauces that we included. I personally would not get this again for dinner, but it is a super cute meal/gift idea for others!

Not as good as double knot but definitely delicious for the location it is at.The price is pretty hefty $$$ (big complaint brought up from previous reviewers) but it's reasonable. You are paying for the brand and also the location. Prices are comparable to the other stands in the food hall. I always assume I'm going to spend around $12-16 going into that cafeteria regardless of which stand I eat at.Anyway, my sushi was good but the amount I got was so little I'm not sure if it was worth it. I didn't go too crazy in ordering. I just wanted a test try. I got a toro scallion roll and also an eel roll. The order came in a nice box, I attached a picture. It's pretty cute: arranged neatly and colorful. Some people complained about the stuffing:rice ratio. I thought it was pretty half and half - not too much rice (attached some close ups). The toro scallion roll was average 3/5. But the eel roll was so good- still warm when I ate it 5/5! But ...not sure if 2 pieces was worth the $6. I want to try the eat your own fish boxes and one of the rice bowls next time. It may be worth more for your buck.

I remember the first time I came to DK Sushi and ordered a really overpriced shrimp tempura roll and was very unimpressed. I came back a year or two later after being recommended the Omakase and was B L O W N away. Filling, fresh, authentic, for only $35 - woweee. Yes, it's assumed you wouldn't come to Franklin Table for its ambience - it's a college dining hall for heaven's sake, but are you really a foodie if you're not willing to sacrifice ambience for hidden gems? I came to DK Sushi for omakase a week after I went to Sakana which was $58/pp and left so hungry I went and got a full Italian meal after. After DK's omakase, I was so full I could barely walk home. Despite being in a college dining hall, DK makes an effort to serve each dish on a stone platter with impeccable plating. Also, no one's rushing you so you really have the true opportunity to focus on the food and whoever you're dining with. 10/10 would recommend. Great for the experience, poor on the ambience, you'll leave happy if you're into sushi :)

I like this place - it's not bad. It's just $$$ for students - which are their primary clientele. I'd come here if I want to splurge on a sushi box or a spicy scallop roll.Generally fresh - I've had a few of their items like their salmon-based chef box (cute presentation/unnecessary for extra cost though), a few of their rolls, their bowls and more. Maybe because I am not a big fan of Double Knot so I don't find it super special but I think if you're looking for a quick sushi fix but don't mind spending the money, then it's the place to go.

This is my favorite place to get takeout sushi in Philly basically. The quality is a bit higher than the average sushi and it's convenient to get it at the takeout location at Penn. I like the salmon box and the fancy fish box - fancy fish is particular is delicious.

TLDR: I would give a 3.5/5 technically. In general the service was quick and the sushi quality itself was decent for the price you pay. When you walk up to their storefront, you order on a screen so the ordering process was quick and simple. I ordered the "Eat your fancy fish" and I highly enjoyed their quality and aesthetically pleasing packaging. 10/10 for sure for takeout boxes. The sushi rice was slightly under seasoned; it wasn't as sweet or vinegary as sushi rice should be. As for fish itself, it was good for the price you pay. It wasn't expensive so obviously I didn't expect Japan sushi grade quality, but since it's decently priced sushi I definitely think it was worth it's price range. My favorite piece of sushi in the box was the scallop sushi, so I would highly recommend that one if you just wanted to just try something out.

Tried the sushi rice bowl, which seemed a little more worth it than getting a tiny roll. The food was extremely fast, as it's a rainy day and less people were out and about eating lunch. The soy sauce mixture they give you to put on top was pretty good too.

This is related to Double Knot in center city which is a super popular sushi / asian cuisine restaurant.This DK Sushi is located in a new and more modern type food court. The organization is a little messy but it's all on a kiosk so once you're ready to order go up to the computer and order.The food is a little pricey but it's definitely worth a try. I got the tempura shrimp over rice and it was super tasty and the perfect lunch amount. The sauce that it comes with is delicious. It's super fresh and made to order. The line may be intimidating but it goes by quickly! Be sure to stop by and grab an option over rice with a side of spicy edamame. You won't regret it!

Best sushi in Philly. I had the toro which was excellent, spicy tuna was phenomenal. The miso soup was super tasty. Would give 10 stars if I could. The chefs are extremely kind and the manager (Justian) is a great guy. Will be back!
