Some of the best sushi I've ever had. Everything was fresh and tasted great. The rolls are well made with minimal rice and don't fall apart when you pick them up. I definitely recommend this place!

Best sushi in the city! The salmon is amazing. Price is per person. Not the most expenses, but not the least expensive either.

My favorite sushi place in Philadelphia! Small, cozy, friendly service and DELICIOUS FOOD!!! I’ve been ordering delivery and pick-ups for 4 years! However, I love to dine in! The place is intimate and welcoming due to the great atmosphere and friendly hosts! The quality is incredibly consistent! I have never been disappointed with a single order! The regular rolls are prepared with the same care as the special rolls! Even their miso soup is way beyond the normal miso soup experience! You can bring your own alcoholic beverage or just enjoy their fresh tea, which they never let go empty (again, very attentive and friendly hosts!) I highly suggest Kei Sushi if you are into Japanese cuisine and are looking for a classic and delicious experience!

We had a great time at Kei! The sushi was delicious and fresh, with fun flavors on the specialty rolls. Service was attentive and sweet. The space is small, and it was busy on a Friday night, but they do take reservations. I definitely recommend coming to Kei for sushi!

If only one could smell the aroma once you open your sushi to eat it is fresh, inviting, and your mouth starts watering before you take your first bite. I got the sweet potato sushi and shrimp tempura and wow wow wow so delicious. I wish I lived in Philadelphia because I would be a regular here. Great service, great food, and I also got a great hug. This is the go to spot for sushi when living or visiting Philadelphia. Keep in mind they have awesome affordable pricing for such high quality food.

Update: This place continues to be a very solid lunch and dinner option! I've got back several times and they consistently deliver! Kei Sushi is NOT messing around. Seriously fresh and delicious sashimi sampler, seaweed salad, kani su (cucumber wrapped kani and avocado), and special roll — baked lobster. Every single bite of every dish was phenomenal. The atmosphere was bright, clean, and relaxing. Plus the prices are very fair for the quality. Definitely a new contender for my favorite Philly sushi spot!
