Kisso Sushi Bar

The menu and service were beyond our expectations. I absolutely enjoyed the ambience of this spot. Great spot to take my family out for dinner.

The best, most artistic sushi you'll get in Philly. Sit at the sushi bar, Alex, the head chef will serve you the best sushi there is. The spicy rolls are the best. BYOB - plan accordingly.

Would definitely recommend trying out this place. Exceptional ambience, tasty food, excellent customer service. Kudos.

Some of the best sushi I've had in Philadelphia. Restaurant is casual and BYO. Food doesn't disappoint, but the decor isn't incredibly fancy

Came in at 9:05 after I just saw a couple walk in maybe 5 mins before me... they said there closed, but they close at 9:30 since I guess they changed there hours but google says 10pm. Pretty sure I can eat sushi in 25 mins but I guess they didn’t want our business. Bad experience

Ordered sashimy plater for two and when it arrived we were super shocked! It seemed like one sashimi was cut into 4 pieces. Omg! Such a disappointment and the total came to $65 which overall wasn't worth even $20 based on the amount of the fish that was served. DO NOT RECOMMEND this restaurant!!!

Classic sushi joint with fresh fish and daily specials. I tried the boxed sushi roll with eel and salmon, the vegetarian roll, and some maki rolls and they were all delicious. They also had fresh grated wasabi on special. Yum! BYOB. 🍣🥗🍙

Alex makes some of the best sushi in town and everyone is extremely friendly. The fact that it is BYO only adds to the experience.

Best sushi

Fresh, tasty and somewhat unique sushi

The Owner, Alex, is a sushi samurai master. I have had sushi all over the US & abroad & his sushi is the best I've ever had. He makes his sauces from scratch, knows fish quality at an expert level & his sushi plates are artistic "presentations". If you are in Old City will love it !

In all honesty, I was very disappointed with the portions. The quality was mediocre. I ordered nigiri salmon, striped bass (striper) and a yellowtail roll. Portions we're very small. I spent approximately $35 including tip for what I would equate to an appetizer. I am not from Philadelphia but I frequent sushi bars as I am often traveling for work. Very disappointed to say the least

this is my favorite place for sushi. excellent service by the waitstaff at a very convenient location. during your next visit sit at the counter and watch the preparation of the sushi. note: byob(pictured green tea ice cream, half and half maki (the set with lime were perfection) and unaju over rice with a spicy tuna with inari on a separate platter)

Had a awesome experience in this spot with my kids. The food arrives quickly and the customer service is just great. Prices are convenient.

Excellent sushi in a great location. The food here is always fresh and very affordable. There are a few other places in the area but this one is always busy and for good reason. BYOB.

This is a gem. BYOB. Excellent, truly exceptional quality fish and preparations. Prepare for some unctuous, front to back palate pleasing to occur here.I highly recommend the mix and match sushi platter. This will give you different fish and presentation profiles that will simply satisfy.Excellent, knowledgeable service. The best place is to be seated at the bar and to watch the magic happen.This is Philadelphia's best, and one of this country's top, sushi restaurants. I've long said that. I look forward to your conclusion.

Loved the experience. I am somewhat new to sushi but the staff there was outstanding and walked me through a few options and their chefs recommendations. The chef was so happy with how much we liked our food that he also made us a special complementary role. I'm still not the biggest sushi guy, but when I have a need for it, I am only going to go here. Very fresh food. Outstanding service. Decent price.

I like this spot! They offer awesome food, their menu is rich, The chief cook in that restaurant is very trained, I love a lot eating all their dishes. The dishes are always of high class, the service towards the visitors is very good too. I often go to this restaurant and I not even once was unsatisfied. I highly recommend it.

This restaurant is extraordinary and spacious, the meals was delightful and the rates were very reasonable. fast, effective service and very welcoming waiters. I highly recommend this place.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and great food.

I absolutely loved the dishes and service, awesome location close to my apartment. The staff members are always nice. I highly recommend this place.

Great sushi, cute and intimate, great service!

This place is awesome! Fair pricing, big portions and the employees are constantly very friendly.

i had walked by this place so many times but i still didn't know it existed till i found out about it last week. anyway i went there for dinner with my lovely wife and i wan't to say that the dinner was amazing. Everything was fresh and you could see the chef prepping your dish behind the counter. I would highly recommend it and now that i found out i cant wait to be back soon.

Fantastic food in a quaint little location. The fish is fresh and delicious. I did the chefs choice sushi and sashimi, wasn't sure I could eat it all myself, but the fish was such good quality and perfectly proportioned that it 2as no problem!

Nice place,very good service . Little expensive for me but still very good

Amazing service and really delicious food.

This is the best sushi I have ever had in the Philadelphia area, hands down. Everything melts in your mouth. I never knew salmon could taste so amazing. My only complaint is now I can't eat sushi any where else because I know it won't even come close.

Loved it? Everything was fresh and authentic. A must try place

This is the best sushi I ever had. Fresh. Good service, and a GREAT salad and ice cream. It is smaller but packed a big punch. I would def go here again if I was in the area. I had three different sushi, all were great!

Sushi takes a lot of time, and when it arrives it comes very small and arguably doesn't worth its price tag. Service is also not the best.Don't go.

A great sushi restaurant in Old City with byob. I believe Kisso has been in business for at least 20 years at the same location. The longevity of the restaurant says something about the quality of food and service.

I eat here a lot since I work close by. I love how the service is always fantastic and they keep the place neat all the time. Pricing is fair and they serve sizeable portions.

Great sushi, food was presented well, reasonable prices, great dining experience

Great sushi. Great restaurant. Check it out.

Love this place! The Red Snapper carpaccio, half and half roll, Jay roll, and Killer roll are favorites!

BEST sushi 🍣 in Philadelphia!Chef Alex was awesome along with everyone else. Great teamwork and the freshest ingredients. CHAMP 🏆

This is a GREAT SUSHI BAR!!!😁😁😁 I highly recommend stopping in. The owner's name is Alex and he is very personable. I usually just tell him what kind of flavors i prefer and let him choose what to make. I've never been disappointed!!!

Excellent food with great service! They had really good specials on top of the listed items on the menu. I tried appetizers and sushi from the specials which turned out to be delicious.

Best sushi place I ever been too. Insanely fresh sushi. Its like a party in your mouth. . A must have!!!!!

Best sushi experience in Philly. Period!

Great sushi. Expensive

Came for dinner on a Friday night, sat the bar and had great service. We didn't try any of the special rolls our waitress let us know about but they sounded unique (eel and other things I hadn't heard of anywbere else)

Visiting from Houston, TX and decided to give this spot a try since it was close to where we were staying. Sushi was delicious and full of flavor, you will not be disappointed. The wait staff was very informative and friendly. The sushi chefs really took great pride in their work and it's reflective upon the quality of the food they prepared. Highly recommended!

Very well organised and welcoming place. They offer generous portions and for economical prices. I loved the meals very much and the staff members were super affable and chatty. I recommend this place.

Great japanese restaurant!

Hands down the best Japanese place in Philly! Food is always so fresh and perfectly done! It’s mind blowing! Sit at the bar and ask Alex to surprise you. It’s definitely gonna level up your sushi standards!

The perfect spot to have just walked into. Not a huge menu but it’s got something for everyone. Food is delicious, service was great & fast. I’d definitely recommend Kisso! 😋👍🏼👍🏼

Phenomenal maki. Their maki combination is a must order for two or more to share. Clean and simple aesthetics. The staff was very friendly; thank you for a wonderful meal and experience.

It amazes me how bad this place is, and how many times I can go to this disaster because someone demands that "it's gotten better". It hasn't. This restaurant has the perfect circle of disappointment; horrible service, laughable portions and mall-quality sushi. If every other sushi place in Old City is not an option and you are starving, if I would strongly suggest the 7-eleven on market street. I cannot better articulate how awful this place is.
