Best in Philly? We think so.

If this ends up being too cryptic, we've got a third photo for you, but give it a shot.

You call that cheating? Sounds like solid gumshoe work to me. Guess away if you don't feel too guilty about your fact-finding skills!

Mary, you've got it, narrowly edging Jesse C by a mere minute. Yes, this is Vic, hands down my favorite sushi place in the city. They have the most creative (but not hokey) rolls. Above, we ordered the Princess Roll (the one in the beautiful pink soy paper); octopus, mackerel and salmon sashimi; and the "sashimi roll," which is fish and avocado draped over shredded white radish in lieu of rice. Why did I never think of that? Ahh right, because I'm not a sushi genius.

Vic's is the best and one of the cheapest. Their sweet potato roll makes me cry and then I dip my sushi into my tears.

Kelly, comments like that make me think we should do a "Comment of the Week" feature here on Meal Ticket.

Vic's is amazing! La the owner is so great too! We order there many times a week at my office! Mango roll is awesome, Kani salad is where it's at! Also love the Vic's roll and Sansom Roll.... i'm getting excited just thinking about it!

yes, but they do leave hints in the form of their comments. i might not have "won", but i'm still proud of getting to write VICtory before anyone actually guessed. :P
