For sushi, definitely try Genji's at 40th and Spruce. Oh wow! :-)

I like the Imperial Inn, 146 N. 10th St. and Riverside, 234 N. 9th. for Dim Sum. Both are in the Chinatown section of the city which is roughly bounded by Filbert St. on the south, Vine St. on the north, 9th St on the east and 11th St on west.

For sushi I like Kawabata, 110 Chestnut St., Hikaru, 607 S. 2nd St. and Shiroi Hana, 222 S. 15th St.

My favorite Dim Sum place is Joy Tsin Lau on Race near 10th street. I've heard that Imperial inn on 10th street is also good.

My absolute favorite sushi place is Sagami on South route 130 in NJ in Collingswood. It has the best sushi I have ever eaten (including comparisions to NYC and west coast), is BYO (for added value and quality) and is a great deal of fun. I probably wouldn't tell you about it (for fear it would become overcrowded) if I hadn't recently moved! :)
