“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“

Food was fast and delicious. my roommate and I went to celebrate 6 months living together and were greeted by amazing staff and the most friendly chef who took the time to chat with us and make us feel welcome.

“Best sushi around jersey not gonna lie. They are so nice and always inviting! Their food tastes so fresh and I’m always impressed, they never forget things and are EXTREMELY FAST with their orders. I even order custom rolls from them which in itself is incredible because I’m terrified of ordering things from most places like that. My favorite item is the shrimp tempura roll but I put cream cheese on it too. Also they never under sauce!!!“

“I recently dined here and let me tell you, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I stepped in, I was warmly greeted by the friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The restaurant's ambiance was incredibly inviting, with its stylish decor and cozy seating arrangements. The service was impeccable throughout my entire visit. The waitstaff was knowledgeable about the menu, helping me navigate through the options and providing excellent recommendations. Their sushi has a great crunchy texture which is my favorite thing to look for in a roll.“

“This place has become a home of mine of Friday nights. Kevin is an excellent, skilled sushi chef and keeps positive relationships with his customers. His staff, the elder and waitresses are always professional and courteous. They work incredibly hard to make the entire experience a memorable one. I hope they recover from this recent property loss and temporary closure.“

“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!“

“One of my favorite places around! You can eat here at all price points. My favs are Clear Soup for cold days, and then for dinner portions: tataki, poke bowls, and sushi rolls are all fantastic to mix and match. Poke bowls are the best bang for buck. GO HERE IF YOU LIVE CLOSE!“

“I have never been here in person, but I order takeout frequently and the food is always very fresh and delicious.I love their spicy salmon roll, and their spicy crab and spicy tuna are also yummy. The veggie roll is also a favorite of mine. The sashimi is very good and fresh. I prefer salmon because it is healthy. I like to get salmon sashimi, cooked tofu sashimi, and eat it with the lettuce and carrot it's bedded on for flavor and texture. The edamame is so good and fresh.“

“The staff was so welcoming and we laughed harder than we ever have at hibachi and we have been going to hibachi for years. The chef had so many new tricks and jokes we never heard before that it was so incredibly entertaining!! Best part was that the food was out of this world, so flavorful and the portions were perfect! This is our new favorite spot for hibachi and family dining.“

“This is my go-to place for special occasions, like getting an A (or even a B+) in my Penn Law courses. CONGRATULATIONS to the owner for an incredible four years! I've been enjoying Kaseiki's sashimi bowls since the start of the pandemic and have always had wonderful experiences with them. The ingredients are always fresh and even the basic bowls, like their signature Anniversary Bowl, are very artistically done and taste great. I highly recommend the Second Anniversary Bowl, an upgrade that includes delicately prepared scallop, the sweetest shitake mushrooms you've ever had, and mouth-watering, delicious O-toro! The prices are high, but the quality is also high, so it's definitely worth it! Looking forward to enjoying a Chirashi bowl in person someday.“

“I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant and the lovely people that run it. We have been ordering from Sakura since before Covid and have always enjoyed the food and the friendly people that work there. The rolls are fresh and there's a nice variety. Sorry, no pictures but we ate it all too fast ?Parking: The lot always has spaces and the pick up is so convenient due to the drive through window as it was an old Taco Bell.Kid-friendliness: My kids are always greeted and made to feel welcome. They have been given extra treats by the staff and absolutely love going to Sakura to "see our friends."“

“I ordered take out so I can’t truthfully comment on atmosphere but this was the freshest Thai food I’ve had. The vegetables were not cooked to death and didn’t taste like they came from a frozen veggie mix bag. The strawberry crepe was unexpectedly delicious. They also packaged my food up so nicely as well which I really appreciated. Will definitely be dropping my previous Thai take out restaurant and using Pinto Thong Thai from now on!!!“

“Went here last night for dinner with my wife. I don’t remember what my wife got besides the rock shrimp appetizer but I did help her finish her food and all of it was delicious, including the rock shrimp. I am a big eel fan so I got the unagi don as well as the dancing dragon. They were both a big serving, which was excellent. As for service, they were very nice and refills came quickly. I also got a lemon sorbet dessert, I forgot the name of it but it was delicious. If you are looking for a quiet eating location with great sushi this is the place to go. They also have hibachi“

“Stopped by this restaurant while in the area and was not disappointed. We were sat right away, and it was very cute and dimly lit inside. Service could have been a bit better. But everything else was great. I got the salmon hibachi which was super flavorful. This place might also have the best miso soup and salad that I've had from hibachi spots thus far.“

“Incredible experience at Akira for the second time. The service was absolutely excellent. Our waiter literally hustled and was on point with every single thing we needed and he brought out the cutest kids chopsticks for my friend’s son. The food was perfect and delicious and came out quickly. The staff were all personable and friendly. Love this place.Btw try the tempura ice cream. It was unique and SO good!“

“For me, this is the best takeout poke place in the city. I don't order any of the specials -- I always do the "make your own bowl" (which you do by filling out one of the order sheets by the door) because I want what I want. And then they always give me what I want.“

“This place is the reason I now like sushi. It was really yummy but also it's a good idea to eat inside because they have half off on a decent bit of options for sushi.Vegetarian options: Lots of sushi options for vegetarians, and there are things on the other menu suitable as well!“

“If you are in the mood for sushi, this place is a good choice for that. The staff here was very nice and helpful. In both recent times we visited, we didn't have to wait to be seated. So that was a plus. The sushi here was very delicious. Definitely worth it!“

“Agreed! It's the only place to go when you want great Chinese! Everywhere around me (Washington Twp) is just different grades of "bad." Ingredients are high quality -- no gristle chicken/ or slimy chicken. Great sauces -- no generic brown sauce that they throw on every dish. Recommend Beef Chow fun, Shrimp lo mein, chicken and broccoli, pot stickers, any soup, etc. Fabulous. I wish they were closer!“

“Plenty of options if you’re in the mood for Italian, and a few if you want something like tacos. We stayed with traditional pasta dishes, and they did not disappoint. Our food tasted great. The portions were just right. Drinks from the bar were well made and reasonably priced. We will be coming back.“

“Hewa is the restaurant where my love for sushi started. It is a great value with a wide variety and is a staple dinner option at my house. However after eating sushi from several other restaurants I have to unfortunately say, it is not the best. Don't get me wrong it's still really good and sometimes I just need a good heeling of Hewa, but it's the variety that allows Hewav to excel not necessarily the quality. That being said they are the best of the middle, only being beat by higher end swanky sushi places. Everyone should go here for the every day sushi or Chinese, it is just a solid meal everytime.“
