I had the miso salmon roll and the yuzu lobster roll. Both were really good. My boyfriend got the Incredible Hulk roll and the Kinme fried rice with steak. The fried rice was really good because it had Chinese sausage, which is a flavor booster. This place is a BYOB but they also had their own tea and soft drinks. They give you a little bit of ice cream if you pay with Venmo or cash.

Kinme is a hidden treasure of a Japanese sushi restaurant in Philadelphia. I ordered two rolls: The “Legally Blonde” roll with Hamachi, jalapeno, scallion, seared blue fin toro, chives, and passion fruit ponzu. It’s a burst of freshness and tangy sweetness. The spicy salmon roll with avocado is a classic favorite that hits the spot every time. With its brunch and low-light vibe, Kinme is the perfect spot for a fresh sushi experience.

I cannot take a star off because the flavors and textures were balanced and unique, and very importantly, the fish was incredibly fresh and clean tasting, but I will mention that there wasn’t enough flavor, and the prices were steep. BUT if you’re in the Jefferson station area, this is 100% where I would go for sushi again. The ambiance is upscale, you have lots of options, and everything was tasty (just nothing knocked my socks off flavor-wise).

Such an underrated casual sushi spot!! It’s BYOB and has fresh fish! Impress your date by bringing them here for quality (and reasonably priced) sushi. The people here are also super nice. Been here twice now and tried a bunch of their rolls, including their special – crown salmon roll, and nirigis. Delicious and easy to walk in for a spot! If you’re lucky, maybe they’ll have some homemade desserts to wrap up your meal 🙂

Awesome sushi, service and vibe! I was there with a friend and had some tea and sushi. Fish is fresh and vinegar rice is nicely made. The best part is the lady is super sweet and talkative. We had a great talk!

Was there on 7/24 for dinner and a comedy show. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was great with the exception of a table of 8 self involved women celebrating a birthday who after finding out that a comedy show was taking place selfishly decided to talk louder and louder over the comedians. No matter how this table acted the owner of Kinme and the host of the comedy show were professional, gracious, and courteous the the table despite their rude behavior. Looking forward to next months comedy show and sushi dinner.

Our experience at Kinme was absolutely one of a kind. Have never had a sushi experience like this before. The unique roles, while pricey, were some of the best rollls that we have ever had as a group of five. The flavor combinations were creative yet thoughtful and not just for the shock value. Open my mind for what’s possible with sushi flavor combinations. On top of this, Nancy, our server, was the most hospitable that we had while in Philadelphia. Other than the fact she made us wash our own dishes. This was an evening to remember and we will refer all of our friends do this location. Do not miss while in Philly!

Had a very good experience here. The quality was amazing, the salmon nigiri is so far the best I’ve had in Philly. We got the lunch special, which was reasonably priced for the quality.

Kinme is a truly special restaurant in the Gayborhood serving excellent, fresh sushi in a calm, lovely atmosphere! Owner Nancy goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and cared for. I was at Kinme on Monday 7/24 for a comedy show which was a blast! The only thing that soured the experience was a group of 8 women who came in for a birthday dinner, KNEW the comedy show was happening, and talked loudly through 4 comedians’ performances until they were asked to quiet down. They finally left, but continued speaking loudly and insulted the comedians outside as they walked out. Nancy and her staff handled the situation with grace and professionalism. Overall, I highly recommend Kinme to anyone in Philadelphia looking for delicious sushi and exceptional service!
