“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!“

“Had a great time! Dinner was delicious! Was there to celebrate my niece’s birthday. Very friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. Also loved the BYOB. Great experience ❤️“

“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.“

“Awesome menu, great vibes and really tasty food. Must try this place.“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?“

“If you’re debating on what omakase in the city to try look no further. This experience was everything and more. The food, the ambiance and the service between our Chef Jeff and server Tina was incredible. The Chef was so personable with our questions, meticulous in his technique, Tina always made sure we had clean plates and filled drinks and was truly a delight. The 18 courses of food was so delicious, afterward it was hard to pick a favorite because everything was so tasty and decadent. Will recommend and will definitely be back!:)“

“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!“

“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“

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

“This higher end Japanese restaurant is a great find! Absolutely top notch sushi, with ingredients that are clearly fresh and portions that are abundant.

I also had the ribeye/beef broth ramen and it was outstanding, among the best ramen I’ve ever had in the city.“

“Loved this place. This place was packed and I was so lucky to have a reservation for my date. We loved the food, not even lying when I tell you it was the freshest sushi I’ve had in a while. We went on the 17th and it was super busy, the staff worked so hard and still made us feel so welcomed.“

“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.“

“Super Volcano Roll was excellent!!!“

“The food is delicious! The inside area is welcoming and perfect for a nice dinner out.“

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

“Its such a cute little place and our sushi was delicious!!! Sitting in was comfortable and the staff are nice! I will be making more visits in my future.

What we ordered: Mango Tango Roll, South Philly Roll, and Alaskan Roll“

“Sushi and habachi“

“My boyfriend took me to omakase and I cannot hype this spot up enough. Don’t let the eagles and Phillies flags outside deceive you.. this is a 10/10 spot. A hidden gem! Forget the other sushi spots in the neighborhood, this is the place.“

“Cat was actually the most amazing wonderful human ever!! Staff was so helpful and wonderful that went above and beyond to help. Cat cares so much about every customer and strives to provide meaningful and empathetic service. I really hope she gets all the appreciation she deserves.“

“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!!!“

“I really like how the owners of that shop is pretty nice and hospitable. The atmosphere of the shop is pretty good too and it’s clean there. Thee food? 100000/10 THEIR FOOD IS JUST 👌🏻 IT’S SO GOOD!!:3 I really recommend this shop“

“Look for the Penn Center Beauty Supply, which is - left - just down the hall from the Visitor Center, which is - right - at the bottom of the escalator of the 15th St/City Hall subway station. Ninja Bao is just down the hall on the right from the beauty supply.

The tonkatsu ramen was tasty all around and the green bao had great flavors and was piping hot.“

“I am working my way through this entire menu and every dish I have tried so far is not only excellent but is actually impressive. Everything from the cold to hot food to the service is fantastic. This place is a gem“

“My wife and I ate omakase here many times, it’s our favorite! Best omakase in Philly. The chefs are very skilled and the atmosphere is perfect - not super loud, not too quiet - - always looks like everyone is having a great time here as well.“

“The food was alright. It was tasty however I couldn’t get what the restaurant was going for. They had a lot of appetizers and the menu was not sectionalized. The sashimi and gyoza were delicious. Salted Cucumber Gimlet is a must try cocktail“

“Tuna Bar is one of my favorite restaurants! Especially love that cocktail with the gin wasabi & cucumber 🍸😍🍣“

“My family and I went to Uchi over Labor Day Weekend and even though it was a busy Saturday night, the service was amazing and everything we tried was great!! The dishes were unique and high-quality. Both the happy hour menu and the regular menu were great. Hope to be back soon.“

“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♥️“

“clean, friendly staff, good food, good selections, and fast service“

“I've been coming to Tampopo for nearly 20 years, and it still holds a special place in my heart. The spicy tofu bowl is my go-to, and the veggie gyoza never disappoints. So many great meals here over the years. Miss when it has multiple locations. If you're ever in UCity and haven't been yet, it's definitely worth a visit!“

“Went to Uni Sushi Last Week, food comes out fast and the taste is perfectly good. My child also like to eat there.“

“This place is incredible!! From the fantastic service from Chole, to the amazing food, & the price point is just right! I loved that I was able to customize my ramen & I tried boba for the first time & it was great. The atmosphere was a vibe. I cant wait to go & dine there again :)“

“thanks so much for taking great care of us we very much enjoyed everything! everything was very fresh !! loved it and will definitely be back“

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

“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++++“

“My partner and I’s favorite sushi spot, and seems like it’s not as well known yet so makes for an easy to talk date night. (It definitely deserves recognition!) We go for the food which is always great, with many sushi options! The sashimi is always a good cut and the Godzilla roll is probably our favorite special roll. There is a variety of apps, teriyaki and vegetarian options too. Jay, who greets you and is your waiter is AMAZING. He’s very sweet and seems happy to see us, it is worth it to come just to meet him. They are BYOB but also have a nice sake selection.“

“Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Great fresh vegetarian options with delicious tomato broth. Good vibes and music. Clean bathrooms.“

“This place is a hidden gem. I’ve been here a bunch of times and it has been great every single time. The fish is always super fresh and the portion is generous. Favorites for me are the striped bass carpaccio, tuna tataki, and the deluxe sushi/sashimi platter (if you are hungry). Guarantee you leave full! Sometimes they’ll even give you house made sake free or charge!“

“Really enjoyed everything we ordered! We tried the regular tonkatsu, cheese tonkatsu, and soba, and they were all so good. The cheese tonkatsu was probably my favorite, the cheese was super flavorful and went really well with the crispy pork. I also really liked the soba. It was light and refreshing, which was perfect to have with the tonkatsu since it balanced out the fried food really nicely. We tried the different sauces too, and I personally liked the Japanese sauce the best! Everything tasted fresh, the portions were good, and overall it was a really satisfying meal. Would definitely come back and try more things next time!“

“Just in case any vegans or vegetarians were avoiding this place like i was, the vegan menu is HUGE now and absolutely kicks the ass of any nearby place. I came the day it opened and was not impressed by the selection of vegetarian options so had not returned. I just went today and was blown away by the Ube special roll and many others they have now. Also the service was great! Gave me a free vegan roll he was working on. Just delightful.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“Delicious and fabulous service!“

“First of all- thank you for the billboard. Without out that, we would have passed Sushi King :’(

This is the best buffet I’ve ever been to in my life! Everything was a 10/10. Please never leave me- as a matter of fact, open up in Bergen county!!“

“Akira Moorestown is now one of my favorite sushi spots! The food is incredibly fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. Their sushi is outstanding, and everything we ordered was excellent.

A special thank you to our waiter, Andy, who went above and beyond after I mentioned my allergies to onions and scallions. He carefully checked every dish—from the appetizers to the sushi, chicken teriyaki, and even the sauces—to make sure everything was safe for me. His attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference.

If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, I highly recommend Akira. They truly take care of their guests, and the food is amazing. I'll definitely be back for many more sushi nights!“
