Bumblefish, an Asian fast food business started in Virginia opened its fourth location and first in the Philadelphia area at 12 S 10th Street on Monday.
The menu includes over 50 items most of which are waiting in their self-service section. If they don’t have you want they’ll whip it up right away. Their soft spring rolls are their signature dish on a menu that includes veggie, cooked and raw sections. Prices top out at $9.59 for the Smoked Salmon Deluxe of smoked salmon and four pieces of sushi.

I went to Bumblefish last week an I’m coming back. Totally cute place! What a great addition to the Center City lunch spots. It’s not a full-service place per se, they don’t have waiters (so you don’t tip), but it’s not exactly fast-food either. When you first walk in, you’ll love the space, plus they play good music. The food is a lot higher quality than I expected. I got a Spicy Tuna Roll ($4.69) and a Seaweed Salad ($2.99). My boss got some huge Shrimp Dumplings with a sweet chili dipping sauce ($3.99) and some soft summer rolls (I forgot the price). Friendly, fun team gave us some samples of this great sesame flavored potato salad that looked like spaghetti.

This was a great place, totally cool vibe. and the food was fantastic. It makes eating sushi more approachable for newbies by color coating the different roles so that you know which ones are cooked, veggie or raw fish. I haven’t graduated to eating raw fish yet, but the cooked role I had of batter-fried shrimp was delish! I dug this place and plan on going back over and over again.

I stumbled upon Bfish yesterday walking down 10th. I love to go sushi so was lucky to find a place close to my office. Quality is great and everything was super fresh. My fav was the spicy tuna. Cool ambiance too.

I’m a huge fan of sushi so when I heard the Bumblefish was going to open just down the street, I couldn’t help but to just stop by. Everything was at a good price and the sushi was super fresh. I would totally recommend this place to anyone.

Bumblefish is my secret place to get my sushi fix, without paying through the nose. I take my friends to Bumblefish and get takeout when it’s raining, my got my mom her first bubbletea here, and I’m here right now (they have wi-fi, baby).
What’s not to love? Not much, I wish they had rice bowls
and Pepsi, not Coke, and I wish they were open on Sunday. Other than that, this girl can’t complain.
