“This was so delicious and definitely our new spot, they also included almond cookies which were so delicious, and most places don’t do that anymore so that really was nice on top of the amazing food! Great pricing as well, best general tsos I’ve had in a minute!“

“Been coming here for several years now and they never fail to disappoint. My mother had an issue with the food and they were kind regarding the matter (note: food is fine, my mom is just fussy about the container it comes in). Thank you for providing excellent service, food, and understanding and patience.

When eating in, we're served with cutlery and plates. Portions are filling and I always leave feeling fulfilled. Go to is usually two shrimp rolls, egg drop soup, and shrimp lomein/fried rice.“

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?“

“Everything was so good. No fishy or stale flavors. Staff were very friendly and very informative on all the different types of sushi. Will be coming back. The A5 Wagu Uni hand roll was amazing!“

“Awesome experience!!!! The freshest fish I’ve ever had. Shipped from Japan daily. Great place!!!“

“Super Volcano Roll was excellent!!!“

“Ordered five different rolls alongside an avocado salad. My girlfriend praised the salad, saying it was one of the best she's ever had. I was the one mainly eating the rolls, and I've got to say that the fish tasted very fresh and of high quality. Great food and service. Highly recommend!“

“We happened upon this gem purely by chance. We had an amazing meal from A-Z (!!!) The sushi is phenomenal; sit at the newly designed sushi bar in the back and enjoy unique daily catches that come in through the connections the owner has with local fishermen. The restaurant is also known for their aged steaks, and Kobe prime rib, which we will try next time. I had the miso black bass and it was one of the best flavors with fish I have ever had. The broth had such a delicate shiitake mushroom flavor, which I loved. I literally couldn’t have had enough of this delicate, delicious dish. I could have had two orders and eaten it all! I think this dish epitomizes what the word UMAMI means. I also had the sautéed mushroom extravaganza, a treat for every taste bud of incredible flavors melted with a delicate sauce. My husband had their unique collection of sushi and sashimi choices that were all enjoyed at their stunningly beautiful sushi bar, complete with two young, passionate chefs who love what they do, and treasure their personal designs of the fish and rolls. All the rolls are presented in this great wooden cradle design, which I thought was so unique and functional. The owner was all smiles and genuinely happy to have had us try his new restaurant. I recommend it highly for either an exceptional steak meal (all are btw, so reasonably priced so order them for sure), or the traditional sushi. You won’t be disappointed. This will be our weekly go-to restaurant and we are counting the days until we will return, which actually will be next Tuesday the 9th! Bravo to the whole team at Umami and thank you for your passion for Japanese food, and for doing it right from A-Z. We will see you soon! Debbie and Gene“

“Came in close to closing time and I genuinely felt bad about it, but the staff was so gracious and got our orders in super fast. The inside is small, maybe 20 to 25 people max. We ordered a salad to share and five special rolls. The fish was super fresh and really plentiful in each roll, and everything was filling and delicious. Vegetarian options are available too which is always a plus. Huge thank you to the workers who took care of us and stayed a little past closing. Will definitely be back and plan to BYOB next time. Highly recommend!!“

“Always love this place. I try to visit every time I’m in Philly.“

“I have been passing this over a while I have a craving for sushi I tell you what it was AWESOME!!! the staff AWESOME!! the service AWESOME!! if you like that cui·sine it's the place to dine or take out“

“A gem in south philly and definitely the best sushi in the area. Super friendly service, always easy to get a table, and BYOB is a plus. The salmon lover's sushi entree is my go-to and is accompanied by a salad and soup. Haven't been disappointed with any of the rolls - always the perfect rice-to-fish ratio and all of the ingredients are super fresh.“

“Dinner is always excellent here, but I especially wanted to recognize Alicia and Zack for making our visits truly memorable. We had them as servers on two separate occasions, and both provided outstanding service from start to finish. Their drink and dinner recommendations were spot on, and their friendly, engaging personalities made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. We’re already looking forward to coming back and seeing them again!“

“Amazing food and service!

I ordered the mushroom gyoza (steamed), crispy rice, single sashimi, treasure roll, and crispy chocolate wonton.

I would definitely come back and get the mushroom gyoza again. If you love mushroom, definitely order this! The crispy rice was also amazing.
All the fish melted in your mouth. The chocolate wonton wasn’t my favorite but it was an innovative concept and nice to try something new.“

“Went here as part of a food tour, so just had small bites, but everything was so good! Tried some sushi, a unique take on edamame that was roasted/grilled, and crispy tofu - all delicious! And the staff was so warm and friendly. Would recommend.“

“Sushi and habachi“

“Just visiting Philly for the weekend and stopped by to try this place, as it was on my way to the subway. Had the vegetable bao and it was AMAZING! I don’t know how or why it was so good but it was and I felt compelled to leave a review. We were the only ones in there and it took a few minutes for them to make the bao but it was totally worth it!“

“Fiancé and I stopped by because our other meal plans fell through. He’s had ramen before I have not. For my first experience it was absolutely fantastic! Tiny out of the way place which was cozy, sushi and sashimi were excellent and fresh, spicy miso ramen was unbelievable!! Portions were large as well so come hungry!! The young man that served us was very courteous and friendly! We will definitely be back!!!“

“Nakama made our first omakase a night to remember! Chef Mitsutaka made the most incredible sushi. He explained everything and answered any questions we had. You could tell he really cared that we had a great experience! Very special experience and well worth the money especially for a special occasion!“

“The food was so delectable I could feel the flavors on my mouth bouncing through my mouth. Every piece of fish were cut so thinly and precisely they spent so much hard work and time making sure everything is perfect. I loved the interior design, as a future interior design major this inspired me. I will be coming back for some more fun! - Dylan Lam III“

“If you’re looking for delicious Japanese comfort food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and the spicy crab inari, and both were absolutely amazing. The tonkatsu ramen had a rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and tender toppings that made every bite satisfying. The real surprise, though, was the spicy crab inari—it was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy, and quickly became my favorite dish of the meal. The quality of the food, attention to detail, and great flavors made for an excellent dining experience. I can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I come from Atco nj and will not go anywhere else! We get the California rolls they are amazing!and the fried rice out of this world. and the bartender is right there getting you anything you need at an instant! Our very happy date night♥️“

“The wife and I ordered from here tonight. the indoor atmosphere is for cozy and definitely family friendly. The guy that helped us was very friendly. We ordered appetizers which were perfect sized and delicious. The sushi rolls were the best we have had in ages. We will definitely be coming back. A++++“

“First time here yesterday and we will absolutely be back! I’ve been craving sushi for some time now and this absolutely hit the spot! The portions are bigger than expected and every single bite was delicious. First time in a long time I’ve kept eating even when so full. The service was great and not pushy and I love that the windows by the bar open up fully so you’re looking onto the street. 10/10, thank you Urban Sushi family!“

“The ambience was very lovely and the food was very delicious.“

“This place was great!! We had the pork and chicken katsu and it was delicious especially with a side of the shrimp tempura and melon soda. The service was also great along with the calm and cozy atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back again!! (Friend’s pic)“

“Sushi was great, miso was great. Steamed Gyoza was ok.

They did forgot our salad but after eating the food we aren’t even too upset. The sushi was good and fresh. Rice was perfect.

Will definitely be back soon!“

“Will definitely be coming back soon when I'm in Chinatown. The place was nice and clean and super attentive. The sashimi was super fresh and just a welcoming place with so many options of sushi to choose from. Me and my boyfriend got their Valentines course and it was beautiful. I got a rose when I was leaving out from one of the servers which was so sweet!! Thank you guys for the amazing experience.“

“Been searching for good japanese restaurant for quite some time. Let me just say that Mikado far exceeded our expectations. From tge appetizers to dinner, it was exceptional. Our server, Michelle, was great. We had tge seared pepper tuna sushi app - so fresh and delicious. My husband had the hibachi with filet and lobster - amazing too. My son had the combo udon noodles - ate every bite! We had the tempura banana dessert - delicious as well as the chocolate mousse cake and coppa cafe. Amy at the front desk was so gracious and sweet. We will definitely be back many times. Give this place a try - you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Another great little hidden gem so many in philadelphia, we had an awesome cold soba noodle salad and spicy marinated cucumbers on the side.The bowl was very big so we were able to share what a nice place.Great place to come and just relax and enjoy nice summer night. People were very nice“

“Popped in a hibachi lunch with my DW during the Sutumn Festival here in town. Excellent food, and the hibachi lunch is a steal at 16 bucks for the filet mignon. Not a typo, you read it right. A bargain. They serve it 11 to 3. It is pictured. Includes the miso soup, also pictured.

Friendly and courteous wait staff. The spicy yellowtail roll (pictured) was very good. The pictures do not do justice to the good presentation. The Wasabi kicked butt.

If you're in Moorestown for lunch, definitely give Akira2 a try. Great value for price paid.

Update April 2026...went for an early dinner and Akira did not disappoint. The Samurai roll is outstanding, and the hibachi seafood for 2 is a screaming bargain. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. You simply won't go wrong here. Important note: BYOB.“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“อร่อยทุกอย่างเลยค่ะ ชอบสลัดอร่อย บริการเร็ว พนักงานบริการดี อาหารอร่อย 🫶🏻🥓🥢🥙“

“Ramen was excellent. Fish was not top quality but priced appropriately for what it was. I did find either a blood vessel or worm in a cut of tuna so I didn't eat that piece. I think the chef is supposed to cut that stuff out but must have missed it. It is sushi, after all, so always a risk. Not the end of the world and I'm always careful to check my fish before eating it like anyone should.

What was more upsetting than that though, was the way the ginger is kept on the table like a condiment. I dont think it's appealing, safe, or aesthetically pleasing so I'm not sure why they do it. Just provide an option on the order menu for your food to come with ginger or not. Ginger is one of my favorite parts of a sushi meal but I wasn't going to eat communal ginger that had been on the table for anyone to touch, cough on, etc. Gross to be honest.“

“Delicious and fabulous service!“

“Tuna with mango and avocado Sashimi and Unogi was fresh, scallops were huge
Seaweed salad was amazing! I wish the spring rolls were fresh they were deep fried but everything else was scrumptious very clean and b y o b
Pan fried pork dumplings were quite good“

“Took my 5-year-old daughter for her first hibachi lunch. The chef made her feel very special. She really enjoyed the show, especially the volcano. I had the filet mignon and chicken and was barely able to eat everything. My daughter enjoyed the steak, and my wife had scallops and said that they were really well prepared.The service was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean too.All in all a fun afternoon.“

“the suchi was delicious I'm sorry I'm so hungry I didn't take a photo the light vegetable soup and ramen was very good I'm Mexican and my palate is quite demanding I liked the experience. I told my husband I recommend the Japanese pozole !! mexican joke !!!“

“Great spot! Really was impressed with the food and how creative and extremely tasty everything was. The service was good and fit within the price point and decor - it’s not high dining, so don’t expect white glove service. Expect friendly and helpful service with very, very tasty and one of a kind dinner!“
