This is the best sushi I have had in philly. Excellent high quality fish and great presentation. Also reasonably priced. Pictures are self recommending.

This is my absolute favorite Sushi place in Center City. Great prices, tasty food and efficient service. It’s also BYOB!

Kei Sushi is our favorite takeout spot—fantastic rolls, delicious shumai, and some of the best miso soup around. Always fresh and consistently excellent.

Steven J.

Kei sushi is my favorite sushi spot in the neighborhood. It’s always fresh and the servers are friendly. My favorite is the South 2 roll but I’ve never had a bad meal.

Laura L.

Sushi is consistently good. We had it delivered through the restaurant and it arrived early which was a nice surprise. The seaweed salad is the best. We loved the fire roll and the Kei roll.

Merion M.

Kei Sushi is our favorite neighborhood sushi spot. We proudly bring out-of-town friends and family here to show off the quality, yet unpretentious nature, of the Philly food scene. The fish is always super fresh yet the prices are fairly reasonable. My personal favorite is their chirashi bowl — and I love that they make it kosher-style (you know you’re in Philly when this is an option already offered on the menu 😅). Overall, Kei is consistently delicious, presentation is spot on, and the atmosphere is laid back.
