“I have been going to SU20 for almost two years now (usually 2-3 times per month, sometimes more) and it is definitely the BEST, and almost even more importantly, most CONSISTENT sushi I have ever had in my life. This establishment and everyone who works there is an absolute gem for the Blue Bell and Ambler area. I personally believe that SU20’s sushi is better than the high end sushi restaurants in the Philly downtown area (at least based on the ones I have visited) — including some that were under review and successfully recognized for the Michelin Guide in November 2025. I’m not saying that out of disrespect, but simply to acknowledge how much of a hidden gem I believe SU20 truly is.

The fish quality, consistency, and knife work is stellar across the board — I have had almost every single specialty roll on the menu and they are all incredible. Some favorites include: the Fiesta, Blue Bell, Empire, and Sunshine Rolls — freshest ingredients every time, without exception. The quality control really shines through with the sashimi! It’s unbelievable how full and satisfied, yet light, I still feel after each meal I have at SU20. The appetizers and other meal items are great too… I would recommend the Tuna Carpaccio and Tuna Tataki if you’re looking for small plates.

It is worth noting that the “SU20 Roll” has become my absolute favorite item I’ve ever had at a restaurant. It is a fried roll that tiptoes across a fine line of decadence, freshness, creativity, and nuance. My wife and I get the SU20 roll to end each meal because it’s just that satisfying— you NEED it to try it. This will sound like an exaggeration…. but if I had to pick my last my bite of food on this Earth, the SU20 Roll would likely earn that order.

To round out the entire experience, SU20 even has a variety of delicious Japanese desserts that I believe are also made in house. The crepe cakes and cheesecakes both display a master class on maximizing pastry texture and flavor in a lighthearted way — my personal favorite is the Strawberry Crepe Cake. If I have room after dinner, I love taking one to go!

If you’re looking for your next go to sushi spot… your search ends here. I have waited a while to write a review because I wanted to do the SU20 team justice in sharing my love for their food, service and atmosphere. I hope it can be your next favorite restaurant, too.“

“Beautiful decor, very cozy and ambient. Our server was very nice and helpful, as my daughter and I have never been there. Chef Tony made us delicious sushi rolls and plated the sashimi beautifully. We had dessert, they have a variety of mochi and I had the tempura ice cream.. omgoodness it was so delicious! If you're in the area and in the mood for good food and relaxing atmosphere, stop in and tell them I sent you!“

“My family and I had an incredible dining experience tonight at Umai. We had a special, Kinmedai aka Golden Eye Snapper that was so fresh and tasty, out of this world good! We also had a treat with broiled tuna cheek that was also outstanding. Otoro was so velvety and rich, spicy hotate, sweet ebi, unagi, fried crabs, incredible sushi rolls, savory Akadashi (my son ordered a second it was so good) and everything else we ordered tonight was just incredible. Thanks so much to Rae and his wonderful staff for one of the best meals I've ever had - the best sushi in this area for sure and such friendly excellent service to accompany it! 🙂 Thanks for such wonderful hospitality and all the extra goodies Rae. It was wonderful to meet you and sample the fruits of your masterful culinary skills!“

“Had lunch there yesterday. The pork gyoza were delicious and so were the three rolls we ordered. The AAA roll is one of my Ooka favorites. Food arrives quickly and the wait staff are so friendly and polite.“

“We came to check out the ramen self serve station. It was a fun experience for my 7 year old to help make her own ramen bowl. The employee there was so friendly and helped her find a flavor that she would like. I had the miso soup and tuna sushi. Everything was so fresh and delicious, my daughter loved her ramen too. We also liked the fridge full of unique drinks to pick from.“

“honestly this place is great. i’ve been here twice, once for dinner and once for lunch. the prices were really reasonable for the such fresh food. i loved the staff, really sweet and considerate.“

“Although it’s named “to-go” there are actually 2 tables inside for dine in with 4 chairs each. I got the lunch special and they brought my food out and gave me iced water with it! The sushi was fresh and delicious. The man who brought my food out even turned the fan on and put it in my direction. They are all super friendly! Would definitely recommend for the food and service.“

“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!“

“first time ordering from there.. the food was excellent. ordering on line was easy the portions are large.. . the staff during pick up was so friendly and kind.. restaurant was very clean and in well order.. will definitely order again...“

“The best! Our weekly go to!“

“We were very impressed. Came hungry and left full. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Kabuki offers great value for money. It is a very affordable japanese restaurant offering a variety of sushi, sashimi, rolls and hot dishes. We are coming regularly for their lunch specials.
Waiters are nice and helpful.
I would highly recommend to got to Kabuku for a quick lunch.“

“Wow. Some of the freshest sushi I have had in a while. I had fun trying different things with the all you can eat offering. I definitely made sure to get my moneys worth without wasting a drop. I did have to wait a bit to get seated, even though I was the only one eating in, so I took off one Star.“

“I'm shocked I do not have a photo of the Salmon Bento that I have gotten at least 20 times already. I usually have it delivered via Uber Eats and it's so good that I dive right in when I get it! It comes with perfectly cooked salmon on a bed of sauteed broccoli and onions in a yummy teriyaki sauce. The sides are shrimp and veggie tempura, gyoza, California rolls, and white rice. You know when you find that one go-to restaurant that eases even the worst day at work? Sakura is that restaurant for me!

If you want the bento at a cheaper price - try the lunch specials; it's equally delicious!

I highly recommend this place and will continue to order hopefully for years to come!

Thank you Sakura owner and employees for bringing joy to my day!“

“We tried Kungfu Sushi for the first time today. We stumbled on it by accident as it is located in an unassuming strip mall. We sampled several items including the Gyoza, Crab Rangoon, and assorted rolls -Ring of Fire, Crazy Monkey, Crabmeat Lover, Mango, Rainbow, and Dragon. Everything was freshly made and delicious! The service was quick and the servers were attentive. We would highly recommend Kungfu Sushi and we will be back!“

“We love Kabuto. We come all the way from Boyertown to eat here. Great service and reasonably priced. We always leave full.“

“Food looks amazing, clean, nice music“

“soooo fresh and delicious.“

“This place is a hidden gem. The food was exceptional and the selection was plenty. What pushed this experience to five stars is Abel (the owner), he was super friendly and accommodating. He allowed us to sample some high-quality alcohol and even gave us free trinkets at the end of dinner. Would highly recommend giving this place a visit!“

“The wait staff is super friendly. The food is delicious. The Korean Stews are our favorites!“

“I frequent this marvelous restaurant often since I enjoy the special atmosphere that is unique to this place. The staff is exceptionally loving and experienced. The service is very fast. Not to mention, the food you get is highly distinguished. I ate there more than once and I was always joyful. The expense is honest. I recommend this restaurant to to everybody.“

“The food was delicious! The hibachi chicken and steak were both flavorful and cooked perfectly. The fried rice was also really tasty and had great flavor. Everything was fresh, hot, and nicely portioned. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back again!“

“I picked up takeout sushi from Yokohama Sushi and Hibachi in Warrington today for a friend who is recovering from surgery and lives a ways from me. I had never been there before, but it was on my way and much easier than dealing with the parking situation in Doylestown. What a wonderful surprise. The sushi was excellent — honestly better than the more talked-about place in Doylestown that gets all the big reviews. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and packed with care. But what really stood out was the kindness and service. I explained that I had to travel a bit with the sushi, and they went out of their way to make sure everything was packed properly and would hold up well. The young woman running the front of the house could not have been nicer, and the sushi chef was terrific. Food: 10 out of 10. Service: 10 out of 10. Kindness: 10 out of 10. I love finding local places that do things right, and this is one of them. Yokohama Sushi and Hibachi in Warrington has a new customer. Highly recommended.“

“My family and I tried Wild Ginger 2 in Jameson on Saturday night based on so many positive reviews. It did not disappoint. Our server was wonderful and the kitchen was accommodating of my gluten sensitivity. Food was delicious and we will definitely be going back. I had the Beef Satay appetizer and Coconut Fried Rice with shrimp.“

“My first time visiting on a Sunday night. I was happy and appreciated them seating us as they were closing soon. The server was very helpful when it came to ordering from the menu. She was friendly as well. The food was tasty and they give large portions. I had two different flavored lemon drops. I can’t wait to go back!!“

“We picked up and everything was just as we ordered it!!“

“Food was extremely good with really good prices. Portions were big and food tasted authentic, the seafood in particular was fresh when we got it and felt homemade in all the best ways possible. Cashier was also very helpful with helping us understand the menu and even let us place an order over the phone in advance! Definitely would recommend!“

“First impressions, trying to park was a bit confusing I still don't know if parking where I did is right. there is a small area around the restaurant that seems like it could be parking but no lines or guidance out front. Also this place is really small looking on the outside. As soon as I walked in it felt really awkward.i almost walked back out because everyone was just staring at me. Finally after what seemed like forever the sushi chef greeted me. When I was seated the waitress took my order and served me promptly. The miso soup was delicious. The edamame tasted fresh. The prices are a bit more than what I'm use to. I also had the sushi and sashimi lunch combo. The fish tasted very fresh and cleaned very well. Which explains the price. I would come back. Give it a try.

Parking: Unsure of the actual parking situation. Nothing is marked it was weird for me parking in front of the restaurant“

“I’ve been frequenting this place since early 2000’s and their consistency and simple elegance of their sushi is simply phenomenal. Even Hawaii doesn’t offer such delicious sushi without making you pay 100’s of dollars for even the mediocre. Cho Cho San is incredible, can’t give it anything less than a 10/10“

“Best ramen I had ever had“

“The service was top notch and the atmosphere was pleasant. I had the Manhattan Roll, it was a new one for me and it was great. My main entree was the General Tao's Chilean Sea Bass and that did not disappoint. We will definitely be going back and hopefully sooner.rather than later.“

“Such a fantastic find inside the Market at the Fareway! Honestly, this was easily some of the best sushi we’ve eaten in a long time. Every single plate that hit our table was fresh, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor.

​We decided to order a wide variety, and there wasn’t a single weak link in the bunch. The tuna nigiri was tender, generously cut, and melted in your mouth. The Sushi on the Beach roll was an absolute standout, nicely spicy on top with a wonderfully yummy, crispy interior that gave it the best texture. Another favorite was the mango roll, which had a delicious sweet-and-savory contrast, tender avocado, and a generous topping of toasted sesame seeds. We also had a crunchy roll with great bite and started with the seaweed salad, which was crisp, flavorful, and incredibly refreshing.

​What truly elevates this spot beyond the food is the owner. He works so hard, takes genuine pride in what he makes, and is super friendly and social with everyone who stops by. His positive energy sets the tone for the entire place and makes you feel welcome.

​Tip: take your sushi over to the tables and grab a cold local beer from Chestnut Hill Brewing Company right next door. The combination of top-tier sushi and a relaxed indoor market vibe is unbeatable. A true hidden gem. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Excellent food and excellent service“

“best Chinese restaurant [Original] best Chinese restaurant“

“Very good date with my babe JW“

“I get food here easily once a week for a few years now and I have never had a bad meal!! The food is amazing and great prices!! I love trying new things on their menu because they’re almost always delicious too! Love the staff and how kind they are as well!!“

“Amazing sushi! Kid friendly! Both Chinese and Japanese menu. They will make changes to your liking; less spicy, more or less of things. They have delivery 7 days a week!“

“Solid neighborhood take-out spot. What I personally like about South Ocean in Flourtown is the variety of Asian cuisines: Chinese, Japanese, & Thai. You can order sweet and sour chicken, or sushi. My go-to dish is the green curry; either with chicken or with vegetables. Very nice staff, quick pick-up, and fairly priced. 👍🏻“

“I had gotten uber eats from here and it was great, but I recently dined in at Izu and did not have such a great experience. After ordering the sashimi lover plate, both myself and a family member got stomach aches, which made me concerned about the fish quality. The texture was also a bit strange on some of the slices. Otherwise, the food tasted great but since it is quite pricey, I am not so sure I will be back soon. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, but it did smell a bit fishy.“

“We don’t live in the area, but when we find ourselves nearby, we always stop in.
The staff is very friendly and food is delicious!
I have heard locals say this Chinese restaurant is a positive addition to the neighborhood and a gem.“

“Great place to eat. You sit down and get the papers to fill out of what you want. They are great with service and food is always amazing. Would recommend for a date or special occasion.“

“Excellent Sushi! Order at home and they’ll give you a pretty accurate time estimate for pickup via text! They do have a few tables inside and out as well!“
