Machi

While in Philly for the best conference of my entire life, I was struck by the overwhelming need to eat sushi on my train ride back to NY. I found Machi using Seamless and decided that its proximity to both my hotel and the 30th Street Station made it the ideal choice to order from. I was pleasantly surprised by my meal, because being from NY, I assume that food from elsewhere must be inferior, but I was wrong. Machi is a cute restaurant with a sushi bar and small tables. I chose to pick up my food because I was on the way to the train station anyway. The sushi chefs were finishing up my order and I could see that their work area was clean and organized. I ordered the 3 roll special, tamago, and shrimp shumai. My avocado roll was tasty. The salmon skin rolls (without sauce) were pretty good but I noticed that they left more salmon on the skin than I am used to. I haven't decided how I feel about that yet. The tamago was some of the best I have ever had. An order comes with two pieces of well-sized egg custard. I would definitely order from Machi again when I am back in Philadelphia.

Ordered sushi and they did not even provide soy sauce! Sushi rolls were mediocre. Probably the worst delivery I had thus far :(

Fairly typical inexpensive sushi place. The lunch special is a good deal though, 3 simple rolls. Not bad for a quick takeout lunch.

The fish was not fresh. The white tuna tasted foul. WILL NOT RECOMMEND. Also the food was delivered after an hour and ten minutes.

Sushi quality was not great. Got the three roll combo and only one was good. The other two were fishy.

Great experience ordering from here. The steamed chicken gyoza, despite arriving practically cold (not ideal), was light and delicious. Also, even though the sushi rolls are small, the 3 roll special is great for variety, and everything I had (philadelphia roll, avocado roll, sweet potato roll) was delightful.
