50 Best Sushi Bars near Oaklyn

“Went to Sakura today early afternoon before Eagles Cowboys game because all the places in Haddonfield and Cherry Hill were packed - whenever I pass Sakura on the pike it never looks crowded and that is solely because the locals utilize the drive through window which is a holdover from the previous Taco Bell - so I went in and right off the bat I was ecstatic that all their lunch specials are 7 days a week which is a big deal compared to all the other places in the vicinity -
I ordered the 3 maki roll lunch which at $13 is an insanely good deal - the tuna avocado roll is firmly packed with a generous portion of tuna and very fresh avocado - the jalapeño yellowtail roll was crispy and tastes like the fish just came out of the ocean - my third roll was shrimp tempura which was delicious and very tasty - I got their spicy sauce on the side and that was simply phenomenal - Leo and his staff are very friendly - this place is a Godsend for this part of Oaklyn - I look forward to coming back“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“I had the Tomo roll. Best roll I ever had. Great combination of flavors.“

“One of my favorite omakase spots in Philly!
My favorite from my course was Gindara(miso cod) with pumpkin sauce which tasted like Japanese pumpkin and they matched so well, also the akami (tuna red meat) tasted super fresh! Every other fish were fresh and loved the way they prepared everything! Chefs were also very nice and fun to chat with!“

“All the food looked and tasted delicious. I know that personally I really love Asian food and sushi so if you like that too then I highly recommend Koto Sushi because it is so delicious. The staff were very patient when we were deciding from all of the delicious choices of food and they treated us kindly. The food filled me very well but it was so good that I found myself tempted to get more. High quality ingredients are used for the food! The salad was fresh and good, the miso soup was delicious and the Udon noodles were perfectly cooked and served! I recommend this for a tone who like sushi or noodles or anyone who thinks they would like that!“

“Got sushi which was alright and the wagyu beef yaki udon and chicken yaki udon. The wagyu beef yaki udon was really good, I wish there were more pieces, the chicken was plentiful but I personally didn’t like it was much as the beef. The udon itself was bomb in both the dishes.“

“Wonderful time at Sakana this weekend! Their sushi is unparalleled in Philly and the service is impeccable.“

“Kei is all about the food. They have a very healthy take-out business, but are trying hard to create a legit dine-in business. The South Street restaurant is pretty small with about a dozen tables, but they've clearly made some effort on the decor to take it one step above your basic hole-in-the -wall take-out sushi joint.

Having said all that, the food is probably the best Sushi I've had in a really long time, and having the food served to you right out of the kitchen means it's that much more fresh and delicious. My dining companions and I ordered about 8 different rolls and assorted dumplings, and everying was super.

And, as an added surprise, the food was served in large exquisite serving boats (see photos).

The restuarant is also BYOB, so that makes it a great value“

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

“Unfreaking-real!!! Elisa M Hoffman and I could not be happier with this AMAZING birthday experience. Of course being huge foodies we were not going to pass up the opportunity to visit one of the most famous and admired chefs restaurants. What we didnt expect was a world class experience and the nicest, most attentive staff i've EVER seen. Not only was the Omakase (chefs selected dining experience) out of this world our server Richard was top notch and we had the pleasure of speaking extensivly with one of the managers Coco who astounded us by going above and WAY beyond to make us feel special and make this birthday dinner one i'll NEVER forget. So amazing grateful. 敬慕する“

“Best sushi in Philly. Super fresh fish. Very reasonably priced for what they give you. And they are pros at packaging for takeout.“

“Love the sushi and all food they have.“

“An easy 5 stars! Every bite of our omakase dinner was delicious. Very fresh fish! Service was attentive and it was spectacular getting to watch the chef work his magic up close. The ambiance was pleasant. I also appreciated that they accommodated my husband and I as pescatarians.

Dietary restrictions: Accommodated pescatarian“

“This is such a lovely nice spot! My wife and I would order from them all of the time! The fish is always nice and fresh. My wife is Japanese and even she always found their sushi tasty! The owners are also always incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent food by Chef Joseph! Very high quality fish (I’ve heard, from same suppliers as some of the bigger-name sushi spots in the city). Everything tasted fresh and delicious! Best authentic sushi in Fishtown, by far!“

“Best sushi in all of Philly! I eat here every time I come to visit my sister!“

“Pleasant service, sushi was very fresh, soup was hot, tried the popping boba since they were out of tapioca bubbles (I did not enjoy them, but others may), got bonus spring rolls for spending over $25. Some seating under fluorescent lighting, not for larger parties over 4, and the Asian music was pleasant.“

“Everything is so good! Fresh Sushi! New Batches of sushi rice everyday, love the people who work there. Friendly environment! Very Generous! Amazing Service! The only sushi spot, I enjoy eating at. Please come out and check it out yourself! Will not disappoint. Deserve a 5.0 star! ⭐️“

“Watami Sushi is a great little sushi place. Amazing service from the waitress, and the sushi always tastes so fresh! ☺️“

“We went for happy hour on Saturday 1pm-3pm $6.50 for all the food on the happy hour menu and $8 cocktails. The lotus blossom drink was so good it’s a lychee martini. But will sell out fast . The sushi was big and fresh! The wings was so good and crispy. Cute vibe . Solo date friendly. Small place . Good customer service. Good for date or girls day out“

“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“

“Great crispy wings! Paired nicely with some Beef Bolgogi.“

“First time ordering from this place, and they serve high quality sushi and food at affordable prices! I've had the salmon rolls as of today, and they are healthy and delicious! The tempura vegetables were quite delectable, and the miso soup was excellent! Friendly service and excellent food!“

“The Lunch bentos are one of the best lunch deals in Philly!“

“I really enjoyed the sushi at this restaurant. Even though we visited late at night, the food was impressively fresh and delicious. I ordered the eel avocado, dragon roll, and shrimp tempura roll, and each one was absolutely tasty.

The service was excellent as well—the waiter and waitress were both incredibly nice and respectful. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I’d definitely recommend it!“

“think of sushi in a bowl concept _ healthy portions of fish or chicken accompanied by greens and veggies“

“Delicious! My husband and I just had some of the most amazing sushi we've ever tasted. The edamame was perfectly cooked, the miso soup was flavorful with tender seaweed, and the wasabi was real wasabi“

“great people and great food“

“Ordered off Uber eats wanted to try something new . 10/10 !!!
I got the spicy garlic ramen
Also shrimp tempura sushi
Along with the fried squid … you guys made my night . Thank you so much for making my first time eating at your restaurant a great one .“

“A great place to take friends. Never disappointed!“

“This place was great! I called in like a week in advance to make a reservation for karaoke, and the gentleman was kind, clear, and precise about the details! The room was incredible spacious, the song list was great, and he was ON BEAT when it came to drink requests. We couldn't have been happier.

We had dinner there before the karaoke, and it was also incredible. The entire staff was very accommodating and nice, and the food itself was delicious. Sadly I'm allergic to seafood so I can't speak to the sushi, but the chicken katsu was great!

Overall - great experience, do recommend.“

“When you first enter this restaurant, you may be taken aback because it’s so lowkey. There are only two tables and a very small guest area in general. But the food is actually quite decent. I enjoyed the pancake and sushi we ordered here. I’d definitely get the eel cake sushi again.“

“Everything was wonderful! They didn’t scrimp on ingredients. Food presentation was very impressive. Flavor was amazing! Literally, they are the best ramen I’ve had in the area. Place is clean. The service was top-notch! I will bring my family next time! See you soon! 🥰“

“We came on a whim, and were blown away by the sushi. The miso butter cod and the eel signature rolls in particular were excellent, but everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. Will be back next time we’re in town.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian portion of the menu is comparatively small, but the options look tasty“

“Small and cozy restaurant just off South on 3rd that has excellent, very fresh seafood, Japanese style. Cooked and raw available. Service is outstanding, so very friendly. Daily specials are creative, delicious. And they deliver! A favorite place for us, a routine visit. They never disappoint!“

“The staff was absolutely lovely from the hostess to the server. The atmosphere was intimate, the decor throughout was very cool. The menu is very fairly priced and the food was incredible. I brought a friend here last night that was visiting from out of town, she can be a hard critic but she left happy. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! I will be back!“

“Not only is the food absolutely delicious and the service is amazing, but the owner and workers are incredibly nice and community oriented. The food is always fresh and the restaurant is very clean. I have been a customs since they opened and it is a must try. Highly recommend!!!“

“Don't let the small size and low prices fool you; this place is excellent. I have both dinned in and ordered out many times and have always been satisfied. The best deal is their three-roll special. You can not beat how cheap the sushi is and how good it is. If you want the new, most inventive rolls, there may be a better place than this, but if you wish your tried and true rolls, this is the place to go.“

“Wow really loved this place. Our go to is usually royal izakaya and I felt like this was on par food wise. Someone else described in their review the sushi as elevated and that’s the perfect way to describe it. Not just like a junky sushi place. Got the Aladdin role & legally blonde 2 rolls- phenomenal. Highly highly recommend!“

“Great price for sushi and Chinese food. During Covid 19. It’s no growing up the price . I order few restaurants they call grown up price . So I recommend it . Good price fast delivery. And food is good quality alaway“

“I have been ordering/dining here for the past few years and it’s by far my fav sushi take out. It’s ALWAYS consistent. I probably order once a week at this point. The price point is great for how good quality the fish is. When I’ve dined in here, the staff has always been warm and very attentive. I hope this place never closes because I’m not sure where id go for that level of consistency/quality this place exudes.“

“I typically order carry out and I always have a good experience. My food is usually ready before the estimated time and all of the ingredients are always such good quality they give very good portion sizes especially for the price you’re paying 10 out of 10 highly recommend. The restaraunt is awesome, It would be a nice place to eat dinner as there is seating outside as well as a very nice indoor seating area.“
