Yellowtail Restaurant

Good sushi

Nice family owned suishi place. Staff is very courtious​. Suishi melts in your mouth. Sashimi lunch special is great deal.

Good food for reasonable prices. What is not to like!

I arrive at this unique restaurant often because I enjoy the good mood that is outline this place. The personel is exceptionally attentive and experienced. The service is very quick. Most important, the food they serve is excellent. I have been there often and I was always joyful. The rate is reasobable. I suggest this place to to all.

Great BYOB sushi spot. We always get a couple appetizers and each get the three roll special.

I'm not sure this deserves to have two dollar symbols- the prices of the basic rolls are $4.50 to $6. For sushi, that's a descent price. The place is clean and the food is good. It is presently our go-to sushi supply.

My favorite sushi place in Philly!!! Always get great food, great service, and the prices are good too

the sushi is amazing here 🔥😍

Great little hidden jem on Pine Street.

Not too busy, good sushi and fast service

Five-star food and service. Decent prices for substantial servings. A very small space, with somewhat limited selection. BYOB.

Tiny cute good food and the server was nice :))

This is an average place to get sushi. The problem, however, is that this is not some middle-sized town in Harrisburg or Scranton. It is located in Philadelphia, and that caused me to expect a little more from this establishment. Still, the prices were fair, the food was decent, and the staff were attentive. A solid option if nothing else is available.

One of the two best sushi places in the city.

Good, consistent food. Have only ever ordered delivery or pick up here. The chicken katsu is my favorite on the menu and is done better than anywhere else I've tried. In fact, now I'm going to order some...

Delicious fresh sushi at a great price. Delivery was also very quick.

Excellent sushi and sashimi I got the sushi and sashimi Vento lunch box

Delivery took over an hour and a half, mediocre food.

Great place for a date, or casual get together.

Always a favorite neighborhood spot to hit up!

I ordered from here and had to throw most of it away. The shumai had chunks of gristly fat in it that had to be spit out and the extreme role is very greasy and was drowned in sauce, so all of that got thrown out. The dynamite roll had very mediocre spicy crunchy tuna but was also completely drowned in sauce so I had to scrape off the drenched avocado on top and could stomach the rolls. The crunch in these also tasted really greasy. Horrible sushi experience.

Nice place, good food and best people.

Yellowtail is definitely one of my favorite sushi spots in the Gayborhood! Housed in a small, yet centrally located space between 12th and 13th on Pine, the staff is welcoming, friendly, and prompt to greet anyone who walks in. They have all my standard favorites, including the Philadelphia Roll (salmon and cream cheese) and the sweet potato roll, but my favorite specialty roll is the Christmas Roll (tuna, salmon, and yellowtail wrapped in green soy paper and topped with tobiko (tiny fish eggs)). Prices are reasonable too; standard rolls start around $3.50 and special rolls start around $9. I highly recommend Yellowtail to anyone looking for great sushi and I will continue to keep patronizing them!

Love the Thai curry

I have been ordering take-out for years from Yellowtail. But this was the first time I went there for lunch. And they don't disappoint. Really good food. A little pricey but worth it. Presentation was beautiful like art work. The chicken appetizer was delicious and the main course was outstanding. On a side note, you do have to bring your own alcohol, but that is a small issue. Parking is horrible in Center City Philadelphia, thankfully Yellowtail delivers. A+

Consistently good sushi, I take out there and have dined in multiple times over a two year time. Really like their lobster-containing sushi

Their tuna pizza is delizioso!! Whenever I have time, I go out of my way to get one to go, sometimes 2. Very fresh. Textures and sauces all blend perfect.

There was a BONE in my sushi. The fish was very smelly probably because it was old. I also got food poisoning for 2 days afterward.

Horrible service, mediocre sushi! Wish I could say better luck next time, but we won't be back.

Fantastic sushi, some of the best I've had, large portions for each roll, very reasonably priced and best of all it is byob. Found our favorite sushi place.

We keep on going back to Yellowtail for delivery because we enjoy their food, but they have failed us time and time again with it comes to delivery, follow-through, and customer service. The first time was during NYE when waited for 3 hours for our food. When we finally got a hold of someone they said that they were working on our order, but another hour passed and they apparently were closed now when I called. We paid for and never receive our food. Now again tonight, it has been two hours and when we tried calling their phone line seemed to be out of service or was busy. It stated that they were open during the pandemic, but we have not gotten anything yet. After giving them another chance, we, unfortunately, will now find another place to order sushi in the future.EDIT: our food did arrive about 2 hours after it was set to be delivered from Yellowtail. I'll boost it up a star rating.

A quiet like sushi place. I went there as a first date. The food is wonderful. They have a la carte options as well as normal sushi rolls and hand rolls! It's been a long time since I found a place that has hand rolls. Service was great! Definitely recommend.

I've been getting sushi here for four years. At one point, the hostess knew my sister and I by name because we ordered sushi so often. There's several sushi places in the area and all of them are pretty good, but I always end at Yellowtail eventually. Tasty, fresh, and the lunch special is perfect.

Pitiful excuse for sushi. Ordered the Three Rolls Special, which came two hours late, and had the consistency and flavour of oatmeal. Rice was massively overcooked and honestly couldn't tell if there was fresh fish inside them or not. Wasabi has a sickly mint-green colour to it that means it is not fresh and possibly not even real wasabi. Will never order here again.

Came for lunch and had a special roll. It was delicious! I got the salmon bento box lunch special. The fish was a little overcooked but overall, very good and food came out fast.

this place is really good!, more ppl should eat here ive never seen it remotely crowded

One of the best Japanese restaurant experiences I've had in Philly...and I've had many!

By far the best sushi I have ever had the only downside would be the small size of the restaurant

Excellent service, professional staff, prompt delivery, delicious food! Highly recommend.

I love sushi. Cute place with good food. Great BYO.

Great sushi and a nice atmosphere, always enjoy dinner at Yellowtail!

Great little hole in the wall to sit down & eat quietly in the middle of a bustling city. I discovered them by accident & keep coming back for the mackerel.

My favorite sushi place! Great for a casual byob or take out.

Good service, great sushi! This little spot will fool you. It packs BIG flavor. Its inexpensive, but the quality of the food would cost you double if it werent in such a small space. Service is great and they even make custom rolls if u ask!Update 7/30 this place does not disappoint. Tried the pad thai yesterday and I was so tasty I had to log in to google to amend my review! Good job yellowtail!

One of the best places in town to get sushi that is also a BYOB.... Highly recommended for fresh and quality food and amazing service... Very friendly and attentive

A lovely little place. Very fresh, quality sushi. Nice staff. Cozy atmosphere.

The freshest sashimi!!

Kind staff and delicious food. I got the sushi/sashimi combo and it was terrific. The white tuna is off the charts!

They have the best sushi in the city.

Good sushi at reasonable prices in a small, tidy environment. Order sushi and sashimi by the platter or a la carte, or try one of their udon or soba noodle entrees. It's rarely crowded and service is pleasant and prompt.
