Philadelphia is something of a haven for sushi bars and the Queen Village neighborhood's vibrant restaurant scene is further enhanced by places like Sushi Planet. It's a bustling spot for die-hard sushi fans with a friendly atmosphere, great sushi and sake, and music.

The soup and appetizer section warrant attention, try the shumai, shrimp dumplings served with soy vinaigrette, or the skewered chicken yakitori with onions and fresh peppers glazed with teriyaki sauce. The globalization set, an assortment of sushi, dancing eel, spider, spicy salmon and tuna rolls is perfect to share with a bunch of friends. Trying some of their special rolls might be a sound idea; there's an apple version with fresh yellowtail with crispy apples, topped with tuna, salmon and massago, and volcano with lump crab, California style, covered with creamy spicy seafood sauce.

Sushi Planet also caters for vegetarians with healthy options like veggie tempura and sushi combinations that contain daikon, inari or cucumber.
