    Fantastic dining experience, every dish was not only delicious, but very thoughtfully and artistically presented. The servers were very friendly and explained each course in detail. If you are looking for a different menu and intimate setting, this is the place to go!

    Excellent and quaint place with extremely high quality food and unique menu. When I say unique I mean it’s unique and hard to find some of the creative elements that are matched with the main courses. The scallop toast is an ABSOLUTE must and when of the best things I’ve eaten. The hamachi was fresh and dressed perfectly, the sauce pairing so well with it and the kimchi pineapple and cucumbers as well. The branzino was like a soup but it was absolutely delicious. Very light tasting yet full of flavor and didn’t make me feel heavy or bloated. Service was top tier and all around I highly recommend this place. The menu items are all very fairly priced.

    Highly recommend the prix fixe menu at this outstanding seafood restaurant. We enjoyed their intimate, casual vibe. It was a treat to watch the talented chefs prepare each course in the open kitchen just steps away. We expected to have leftovers from this 6 course meal. Instead, the dish proportions were perfect and we devoured everything. We were unsure what to expect since we are not big seafood eaters and I can't eat spicy food. Little Fish exceeded our expectations. They provided one of the top 10 dinners we've ever had. They even added a candle flourish to our dessert since we were celebrating a birthday. We learned that they change the menu seasonally and look forward to visiting them again, with guests.

    We came to the Little Fish for family dinner while visiting Philly. Reservation was made a few weeks before. The food is Asian + French fusion. We took the pre-set menu, with 5 courses. The services are great and foods are amazing. It is a little toward the expensive side.. recommended if you are a foodie.

    Great meal. Loved the vibes and open kitchen. Scallop toast and oyster congee were our favorites. Everything was cooked to perfection and the mixed use of textures and temperatures was so nice to see. Only regret was not adding the crab uni tagliatelle at the end which looked amazing

    Not a little fish in a big pond of Philly food scene. We tried the prix fixe menu and the taste, presentation and freshness of food was superb. Very creative pairing of ingredients and in a very good way. Servicer was knowledgeable and Friendly. We will surly return.
