Thrillist – Sumo Sushi – Philadelphia, PA
With an address on Broad and an entrance on Pine, Sumo’s a contemporary, comfortably cramped sushi joint serving fish over rice (or not!) in an interior with stained bamboo subway tiles wrapping an eight-seat sushi bar and a smattering of two-/four-tops, along with Japanese decor staples like sumo tapestry, samurai swords, and a model of a WWI biplane…wait, what? Starters include the go-tos along with soft-shell crab prepped Shichimi style (deep fried w/ sweet chili sauce) and a vinegar/cucumber salad with a ponzu sauce-topped seafood assortment called Sunomono, which apparently isn’t Latin for “single gas station”. Chef Specials feature one-off rollings like the crunchy spicy tuna/salmon/yellowtail/white fish/eel Sumo, the thin-sliced tuna/avocado/eel/cucumber Pine Street, the shrimp-inside-spicy tuna/spicy mango/eel sauced Rock “N”, and the pepper tuna/asparagus/tobiko/scallion Princess — though the last time you tried to eat a Princess, you just got jumped on by plumbers until you started flashing and flattened out.
337-41 Broad St; Philadelphia; 215.985.1115
