    For just under $20, you get a very good Chirashi bowl with big cuts of fish (O-Toro, salmon, yellowtail, albacore, scallops topped with roe, and giant clam, but this can vary) atop rice that I normally wouldn't think of as sushi rice, but it's still good. It's a little drier than sushi rice but it's seasoned nicely with fish flakes, sesame seeds, and scallions. Slivered beets and greens adorn the perimeter of the dish and I think it's basically for presentation. The usual ginger and wasabi accompany the dish. The fish tasted fresh and was prepared well. Most people want a Chirashi bowl to look exactly like the picture in the menu, but I was happy my server was able to get me a good customization, such as the clams. The restaurant looks nice and there are booths in the back where you can basically hide. About the only complaint I'd have is I was ready to order a happy hour cocktail from the menu they provided, but they said it was past happy hour... so why was I given the happy hour menu? Aside from this, my order came within half an hour and I was happily munching away. Looks like I no longer have to go to my ex's neighborhood for reasonably priced Chirashi!

    I remember when this spot first opened several years ago - while there are a whole slew of boba places in Chinatown, their sushi burgers were novel and there weren't quite so many poke restaurants then. The sushi burger is still as flavorful as I remembered, though the rice was a bit hard this time. The Taiwanese salt baked chicken is still one of favorites - would definitely recommend. Attentive service, lots of people order take out/pick up as well. Ample amount of seating and good for groups.

    Bubblefish is in Phily Chinatown, I was in the area for a work trip and I went there for lunch with a pretty large group and we had their private backroom reserved. Their service was good in getting orders from a group that grew a couple times along the way. They have a variety of Korean and Japanese dishes on their menu. I had their Chirashi, assorted raw fish with sushi rice, which was fresh and tasty. The staff fulfilled the orders in a timely manner and I think everyone was satisfied. I really enjoyed my experience there, and would go again.
