The sashimi is fantastic. I'm not a sushi snob, just a regular person who honestly doesn't love fish that much, let alone raw fish, but the sashimi was silky and tender. The salmon especially marbled with fat was exactly as good as it looks. Definitely ordering again. The 3 roll special is filling. The sweet potato roll is a must get as always, it's sweet and crunchy like a dessert. Tuna scallion was pretty good. I didn't like the texture of the spicy salmon roll (it's like a very soft tartare, which someone else might like), so I'll try a different one next time. I love Vic's! It's a treasure.
You know a place is great when you go back to it time and again. You know a place is great when you can sit and enjoy the perfect meal at the perfect price with no pretense and no distractions from the usual hustle and bustle of the city. This is what Vic Sushi is and always has been. It is not the typical Center City sushi restaurant that tries to be more showy than delicious. When people come here, they know they are getting good, solid sushi made with attention to detail. I know there will be many people who will espouse the virtue of places around the block or that have dishes revolving around on a conveyor belt. The former is more expensive and you're paying for it because of their location. The latter will not produce the kind of quality sushi you might want. Case in point: The salmon belly and red snapper nigiri sushi at Vic blows most places' equivalent sushi right out of the water... and that's a strong statement coming from me. This is a BYOB place, but please check out the interesting variety of drinks that are offered in the non-soda refrigerator.
Vic is hands down THE BEST sushi takeout spot in Philly. The ingredients are so fresh and the portion sizes are massive. The most reliable place for both quality, taste, and speed. A true Philly staple!
Vic Sushi Bar is a must-try for anyone who is looking for quality sushi in the city. To start, the restaurant is small with only a handful of bar seats as far as indoor seating goes. However, I've never had trouble getting a spot during the 1-5pm time. From sitting at the bar multiple times for our meal, this place definitely gets busy with takeout orders throughout the day. Ordering online is easy, quick, and food is usually ready to pick up within 20 minutes. Service here is very attentive and quick. All of the workers are extremely friendly and helpful. I can say I've easily ordered here (takeout or dine-in) probably 8-10 times in the past few months and it never disappoints. The sushi quality, size, price, and varieties are some of the best in the city. Always very fresh tasting, and hard to not keep ordering more! We usually will order the three regular roll special ($15.95) and a couple of special rolls to share for two. The regular roll special is nice for ordering the classic favorites, while also leaving room to try a new roll here and there. Top 3 rolls we've tried: -Diamond roll -Salmon Mango roll -Best Friends roll Overall, Vic Sushi Bar is my number one go-to for takeout and is seriously worth every penny. I highly recommend trying any of the special rolls while also getting some classics. Vic Sushi Bar is amazing!!
This is a real neighborhood dive not a destination restaurant but WHAT a neighborhood dive! If I lived here I'd be at Vic once a week, easy. Fast, good food, quick service, great price. The three roll special is a screaming deal. I'm a fan!
Delicious sushi, place is nice and clam, service is friendly and fast! Don't forget to get the tuna dumplings!
You can never go wrong with Vic's Sushi Bar. Affordable, tasty, and quick service. My bf got a variety of sushi here, and even though it was his first time, he loved it there! The little restaurant is always bustling and has a good amount of people there, but since service is so quick, we didn't have to wait too long. Highly recommend this little spot!
Wow! The sushi is fresh and delicious! I wouldn't say it's the best quality out of all of the places nearby, but it definitely is one of the best value! We ordered the 60 piece sushi platter and I was thoroughly impressed. The pieces were a generous size and everything was very delicious! We were a hungry bunch and it was perfect to feed 4 of us. There were no leftovers! Overall, highly recommend Vic Sushi-- I will be back!
Picked up take out from Vic Sushi Bar a couple nights ago after leaving Helium Comedy Club. Their 3-roll sushi special for $15.95 is by far the best 3 roll sushi deal I've had in the city, price wise and quality wise. The fish is fresh and they don't skimp on the ingredients. You only get the 3 rolls, no soup or salad, but that is not a deal breaker for me.
