Philadelphia RollPosted on November 14th, 2006 · Post a comment »
Maki Recipes
I first tried this roll at a sushi restaurant called Maki Maki, although it can probably be found at most sushi restaurants. Son took me there last year for my birthday, and we have been stopping by every time we are in the area ever since. We almost always get the Philadelphia Roll when we go there, since it’s a very smooth, creamy roll. I believe that the roll gets its name from the cream cheese, as Philadelphia cream cheese is a popular choice. So yummy!
Makes 36-48 pieces.
Ingredients
- 6 sheets nori
- 3 cups sumeshi
- 4 oz smoked salmon
- 4 oz cream cheese
Cooking Directions
- Cook sushi rice.
- Slice the smoked salmon into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
- Cut cream cheese into thin sticks, about 1 cm wide.
- Roll the sushi, using smoked salmon, and cream cheese as your fillings.
- Serve with shoyu, wasabi, green onion, and ginger if desired. Enjoy!

I used to LOVE Philadelphia rolls! I didn’t know it was smoked salmon- thought it was regular raw salmon but yeah. Delicious! Someone once said this should be called a LOX roll… or a NYC roll because of bagels/lox/etc… never thought of it that way until they said so! And I never realized it was cuz the cream cheese was Philadelphia, haha, I’m dumb!
This one is great! Here in Brazil one very famous variation of the Philadelphia Roll is the Hot Philadelphia…
I thought the name was given because the recipe came from Philadelphia, not from the brand! Lol…
It’s nice to see the both of you coming back to the page!
Yvo - Yeah, it’s smoked salmon. Yum! Hehe yeah, maybe I’ll try to make a NYC roll… I wonder if it’s any different?
Ulysses - Ooh what’s in the Hot Philadelphia? How is it different? I did a little research, and I found that most people say that the roll gets it’s name from the popular brand of cream cheese… but I have no idea what was going through the mind of the creator of the roll, so I could be wrong!
I’m pretty sure the name is from the brand. It just seems too obvious not to be true. Shrug. Anyway, the restaurant I work at makes this roll with avocado, and I really prefer it without. It’s popular and delicious. Even for me, and I don’t much like cream cheese. It’s the combo. Who is it out there that thinks up these farfetched yet palatable combinations? Allison aside, of course.
Philadelphia Roll with avocado? Sounds like it might be good, although perhaps a little too heavy with both the avocado and cream cheese together. No idea who came up with the idea, but I definitely like it!
we call it a Seattle roll in, well, Seattle, because the smoked salmon is so prevalent up there
Interesting! That’s good to know (now I’ll know why if someone refers to this as a Seattle Roll!)
Thanks!
yeah its named after the brand of cream cheese, philidalphia
lol i’m horrible at spelling that
Thanks for helping us clarify that!
It’s actually called a Bagel Roll where i get these from here in Fl. =)
Thanks SushiEater… it’s always interesting to see how sushi names vary depending on region!
