Fat Salmon

Awesome place! Walking around Philly for the first time and we craved sushi. We lived in Japan before, so we are very critical. The service was prompt, caring, and genuine. The sushi was FRESH with very generous portions. Beautiful ambiance! Overall great experience!

Had a great girls dinner last night at Fat Salmon. What I like about Fat Salmon is that there is a large vegan selection while also having a good selection for the meat eaters. Service was a little slow but we didn't mind cause we were yapping. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful.We ordered a few appetizers and two rolls each. I thought the crispy rice app was delicious but a little hard to eat cause each piece was so big. It had the yam and kimchi (which is vegan) and it was crunchy and tasty. We also had seaweed salad which was big enough to split between all of us. Nothing to write home about but decent enough.Our rolls took some time to come out so we worked our way through a bottle of sujo. They had a couple flavors, we tried the strawberry and peach and both were tasty. When our rolls arrived we all got out our phones cause they were so cute. I got the tofu roll and the caulimflower (???) roll. They were both delicious and came with a side of ginger and wasabi. I can't wait to come back and try more rolls because there were so many options. Loved this place for a girls night but also would be great for a date. Our bill ended up being $65 each tip which is expensive but I was full and tipsy which was just right for me. See you soon Fat Salmon!

4.7 stars because .... for a restaurant of this caliber, their miso soup is weak.I'll start by saying, if you eat at Fat Salmon be prepared to spend. It's not cheap. But boy, their fish is mouth-wateringly delicious.The sushi & sashimi boat for two can actually feed three. There were four of us. We supplemented the boat with an order of seaweed salad (excellent!) salmon tataki and a dragon roll. Because it's someone's birthday this week -- I wonder who! -- they put a candle in the tempura ice cream (but I think it's a bit chintzy that the ice cream wasn't on the house.)

One of the best places in Philadelphia for sushi. The quality of the sushi is so fresh and is apparent from your first bite. I have dined here multiple times and do remember it being a bit better long ago. I'm unsure what changed but they are still top tier. They carry delicious varieties of sake and my personal favorite is the Tozai.

Fat Salmon has a low-light ambience with single bulb light fixtures that illuminates the tables well. We were seated promptly and provided friendly service. One of our appetizers took a little longer than expected but otherwise the rest of our food arrived quickly. They have an extensive vegetarian selection, which appeals to a broader customer base. Overall, the sushi was good. Some rolls were okay, while other rolls like the white forest (pico de gallo and sour cream) and the fat salmon (pineapple cilantro dressing) had bold and daring flavors that were unique but worked well. Overall this is a good spot for sushi, especially if you're looking for some variety in flavors that you will remember.

Delicious sushi! We visited the Fat Salmon early on a Sunday night, and it was mostly empty. Pop music played during our visit and the restaurant has white chairs and tables. One wall has is illuminated with lights that alternate through a rainbow of colors and the other wall has a stylish bar. We tried the cauliflower tempura, fat salmon, white forest with salmon, and the lost rainbow. The cauliflower tempura was perfectly cooked with a fantastic sauce. The fat salmon had a scrumptious cilantro pineapple sauce. The flavors of the white forest and lost rainbow work well together. Overall, I had a great experience at the Fat Salmon and would highly recommend them for sushi in Philly.

My favorite sushi spot. They have an entire vegan/vegetarian menu. And they are able to accomodate for all my dietary preferences. (They can make rolls without onion and garlic for all the Jain/Swaminarayan peeps out there!!)Servers are all so nice and the presentation is always a 10/10

This is a good sushi restaurant if you either 1) want to try some unique specialty rolls or 2) if you want a place with plenty of vegetarian options! The early dinner bento box deal is also pretty good, I believe it's 2 specialty rolls for around $25. The chefs forgot about one of our appetizers so that took a while to come out but other than that the service was good. Overall I would come back to try more rolls!

We love sushi in our family and have tried many restaurants around us and even at other states and countries and I can confidently say, this is one of the best sushis we've ever had. The rolls are so unique and delicious and as vegetarian, we appreciate appreciate the amount of veggie roll options the had. We can't wait to be back!

Hands down, Fat Salmon is one of the best Sushi spots! Whenever we try another place we compare it to Falt Salmon that's how good the sushi is. We tend to always order takeout but decided to go in and eat at the restaurant. It was a nice ambiance and our waitress gave us great service.
