Phillyist loves sushi. So much, in fact, that we end up eating it at least twice a week. It's not great for our bank account. We just think of it as getting our fill now, because someday we're going to want kids and that will be nine months plus nursing time, times however many babies end up happening, that we'll be missing out on our sushi consumption.
So in the meantime, we want to know where you, loyal readers, go to get your raw fish fix. We think that the sushi at Morimoto is amazing, and we often find ourselves jonesing for Pod's spicy tuna tempura rolls. But we were hoping you might have ideas for a slightly cheaper source o' maki. We're fond of Misora on 15th and Chestnut, and Miraku is pretty decent and across the street from our apartment. We frequent the two sushi places in Suburban Station and the one in Liberty Place because they're easy to run to during work. But we want options. So leave us a comment and tell us where you like to go for your spicy tuna rolls. Like Inigo Montoya, we must know.

Now What?


I like Aoi. Oasis on Walnut is also good - but still on the pricey side.
Hasn't Oasis been closed for a while?
When I'm in the mood for lots of sushi, cheap, Ajia on the Walnut side of the Left Bank (32nd-ish and Walnut) has all you can eat sushi for $23 or so. Quality certainly isn't outstanding, but nowhere near bad enough to make for questionable consumption.
Nara on 40th, somewhere beneath Walnut, is rather better, especially if you want authentic-style seating (optional), and is concurrently more pricy.
Raw around 13th and sansom has amazing sushi and really good and inventive special rolls... though it aint cheap.
