45 Best Japanese Restaurants near Flourtown

“I visited this restaurant with my husband first time two days ago and we had absolutely amazing experience! Sushi is really delicious here, we enjoyed it so much. Staff is professional and polite, serving is fast. Great design and nice ambience. We will definitely visit this place again!“

“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!“

“This was our first time eating here. We never would have guessed such a lovely find would be in this random strip mall! The fish was DELICIOUS. (We both had made-to-order poke bowls.) And the staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely will be coming here again!“

“The folks in this area were convinced that our sushi restaurants were great. They were wrong - until SU20 opened. Finally the real deal has arrived. Beautiful and generous plating, peak freshness and a creative menu of specialty rolls. Their desserts a perfection!“

“Very good“

“I like their poke, it's my usual, and I would like to try their other items eventually. Their bulgogi is not my favorite as I find it blander and drier than what I like. I find that their website is not easy to use and their customer service is not great. They seem to argue or get easily frustrated. I like to get their lunch deal but it hasn't worked multiple times and they don't seem to like to honor the deal when I can't get it to work - they begrudgingly do. I'm not sure if the issue is because I have an iphone and use safari.

While waiting for my food today- I saw 3 other set of customers come in. The first came to pick up food and it sounded like one of the shop owners(?) (the woman) was rude to someone picking up telling them that they should come on time - they they've been waiting 15 minutes. The next person asked if they could drink their boba inside (they had other food with them) and they said no because there is no outside food. I understand the rule, but it seems odd to me when I've never seen the place anywhere near full. This is just my opinion, but I think having people visible in the place would be good for business. I don't think I've ever seen more than 4 people inside. I'd like them to stay in business and remain in the neighborhood but I'm uneasy about how it's not really a pleasant place to wait for my food in. I wish they would be more open and prioritize more positive experiences.“

“Stellar sushi restaurant in Chestnut Hill! My wife and I had a memorable dining experience at Sakura Ramen & Sushi Bar. The ambience is warm and inviting and the staff are friendly and attentive. The sushi is fresh and of the highest quality. Presentation is first rate.“

“They have very fresh sashimi and delicious appetizers. Oysters were also fresh and the toro was one of the best i had in a while. The chefs said that the Uni was from Hokkaido. Uni just melted in my mouth.

The servers were very polite and provided attentive services. Our group had a great time.“

“Great selections, best sushi I've ever had! Highly recommend.“

“I was in the area and saw they had pork katsudon (my favorite meal). It was delicious. This place primarily does takeout but they have two small tables for dining in. Staff checked on me a few times while I was eating and were very nice. I didn’t actually ask, but I am not sure they have a publicly accessible bathroom.“

“We’re staying in an Airbnb a few blocks away so walked up (based on the positive reviews) and ordered mackerel, eel and salmon sushi, a California roll, edamame and the avocado salad. The fish was really fresh and tasted great. Portions seemed very fair for the price. Would definitely do it again if we’re ever back in this neighborhood visiting.“

“I brought my brother-in-law in to eat on Thanksgiving afternoon (we had to delay Thanksgiving dinner at our houshold and, since he lives in a care facility, that unfortunately left him without getting with famly on a very important day. So, I went out to eat with him.) He really enjoyed it, but then he began having some minor but very disturbing health issues as he was eating. It really disrupted our meal and we had to scurry out quickly. The staff and the servers at this restaurant were so very kind and extremely patient and helpful (our server, Sonny, was especially good to us, particularly to my brother-in-law.) Thank you ever so much! I do hope I left enough of a tip to express my appreciation (I was running out the door in order to attend to my brother-in-law's needs). The food was wonderful, by the way.“

“Such delicious sushi. Such a wonderful hidden gem.“

“We love this place so so much! My fiance and I literally order here ALL THE TIME. The food is always delicious and they have sushi now! Its literally couldnt get any better. The people who work here are also the sweetest people ever. I definitely recommend this place“

“The definition of a hidden gem! Everything we’ve had from them has been delicious. The effort they put into decorating their space (which is unassuming from the outside) is only topped by the effort that goes into the food. SO much flavor. Very happy to have them here in Fishtown.“

“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.“

“I went to this place and had a pretty good Miso ramen meal. The noodles tasted good but were a bit mushy, not exactly how I like them. The pork wasn't as tender as usual, but the smoky, grilled fat made it taste better. The broth was okay, nice and comforting, but nothing amazing. The servers were a little slow, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. Also, if you sit by the windows in the winter, it can get really cold, so I’d recommend sitting away from the door and the street windows when it’s chilly. All in all, it’s a solid spot for ramen lovers, with tasty food and just a few things that could be better.“

“You’ ever show up to a restaurant 10 minutes before they close? You feel bad, But after a fundraising event where maybe the food wasn’t quite as good as it could’ve been, we were starving! We stopped by on our way back to our hotel, Moments before their closing time at 11 o’clock, we walk through the door and we’re welcome. Kindly ordered some delicious sushi., Exceeded our expectations. Very nice very good sushi!“

“Food here is SO GOOD. Everything is made fresh to order. Their fried pork cutlet is drizzled with homemade gravy, and their pork cutlet with cheese is so yummy as well. If you like cold noodles, you should definitely get their soba—I get it every time I come. But everything in the menu is so good. I love restaurants that have a limited menu and do the food justice. The ambience is calm, family-run vibe. Plenty of parking as well. And the servers are super friendly as well. Best donkatsu in town!!!“

“I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, and we both really enjoyed it! We had the 12-course omakase for $68, which is a great deal compared to other spots in Philly. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. The chef was friendly, though he spoke very little English, which made communication a bit challenging. The whole experience lasted about an hour.

It’s no longer BYOB, but they do offer a variety of drinks. We tried the fruity sake flight, and it was a great choice—different flavors to sample, and it paired perfectly with the sushi. The interior is small and cozy, with charming Japanese décor. The only downside is the parking; it’s pretty tough. Fortunately, we managed to find a spot in a small alley about a block away.“

“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.“

“Great take out. Lots of choices.“

“The food was good but I felt the portions were kind of small. I get that it's mainly for their work in the food but I could tell that some of the rolls were a bit old. Freshly made from yesterday's ingredients. I really couldn't complain though because what I had was good, it was just a kind of small plate for such an amount of money.“

“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...“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners! The service was great, we enjoyed conversations with our server from NPHS. The food is outstanding and the owners and cook came to chat and share that they cater to the White House, Philadelphia sports arenas and more! Give this hidden gem a try!“

“Amazing Sushi!! Everything was so fresh and delicious from the soups and salads to the beautiful Sushi rolls. Will be our new go-to place now!“

“I have been coming to Nagomi pretty frequently for about a year now and I really enjoy it. The staff is very kind and attentive. I love their rolls very much. I think the portions are good and the flavors of their speciality rolls work well together. I also enjoy their kitchen items and their miso soup is always delicious. I also think that they are very reasonably priced. I am very glad to have found this place and have brought my friends and family here :)“

“I have been a fan of their ramen for a while. I don't know if they had a change in management or just added more items. The new things, like the Takoyaki are really good and their other items have improved flavors. I highly recommend them.“

“Perfect pairing of quantity and quality. I was so good! How can you go wrong with an amazing dinner for under $15?! I had the hibachi chicken and steak. Steak was cooked to order (med. well). Chicken and fried rice was really good as well.This place is on my way home from work. I will be back… often.“

“Great service, red curry veggies with white rice and udon noodle soap with tempura was excellent!“

“Shogun is the best Japanese restaurant around. The remodel is beautiful but I’ve been coming here since I was a teenager. They know my name just from my voice when I call. I cannot say enough good things about Shogun. Service, atmosphere, food, everything is top notch.“

“My daughter said that she was looking to have sushi for lunch today, so we decided to give Herosame in Ardmore a try. Wow, this is one of the best sushi meals we've had in the Philly area and definitely on the Main Line. I called in our takeout order and the server who took our order was very friendly and polite as was the server who brought us our order while we waited in the vestibule. We ordered the Lunch Shrimp Teriyaki Bento Box and the Lunch Triple Roll Combo. Wow! I thought they had accidentally give us another person's order as the bags were quite heavy. Both lunch specials could easily be split over two meals or at least a meal and a leftovers snack. The Lunch Shrimp Teriyaki Bento Box included a small house salad, a pint of Miso Soup, 2 Shumai, a California Roll, 6 large Teriyaki Shrimp and a pint of steamed white rice. The salad was a crisp and refreshing spring mix with thinly shredded carrots and a halved grape tomato with a delicious dressing. The Miso soup was very rich and tasty. The Shumai were delicious with a nice crisp exterior, but soft, tender and enjoyable meat inside. The California Roll was huge and stuffed with super fresh crab stick and vegetables topped off with tobiko. The Teriyaki Shrimp were just a hair overcooked, but still delicious. The Three Roll Lunch Combo featured a choice of three rolls from a list of twenty different rolls so my daughter picked the Shrimp Avocado Roll, Tempura Roll and Philly Roll. All three rolls, just like my Bento Box's California Roll were huge with the Shrimp Tempura Rolls being gigantic. One piece of the tempura roll was at least twice the size of other sushi rolls I've had. Each roll was stuffed with the traditional meats and veggie fillings. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Herosame will definitely be on our family's list for future Japanese lunches and dinners!“

“Loved the special dish that I got. It was so flavorful. If you want your food spicy, you should go a bit higher as they are lighter on it -- which I understand. Next time I'll get thai spicy. The Thai tea is a must! Oh so good. Great staff and lovely atmosphere will go again!

Vegetarian options: Tofu“

“Never disappoints“

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

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

“FRESH sushi poke bowls and ramen dishes on a limited menu are fabulous. The quality of the sushi is exceptional, as are the portions. The service is wonderful and accommodating. Located in Whole Foods on the perimeter between the exterior walls and check-out registers, this is a wonderful option and addition to an already top notch source of quality food!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-Free Ponzu Sauce available“

“The best! Our weekly go to!“

“I visit Kansai at least once a week. The sushi is great and the staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable. Friends I take there always love the sushi.“

“Probably our favorite Manayunk area Chinese & Japanese for take out or dine in. Good appetizer and sushi selection, as well as a wide selection of specialty dishes. Favorites include the flounder with honey walnut and shrimp shumai, As someone with food allergies also enjoy just getting the egg fried rice as a nice simple side or next-day leftover.

Parking: For us it’s convenient to walk. The most convenient parking places are paid, but you can go up into the neighborhood and find street parking if you’re lucky.“

“Highly recommend if you go to the Plymouth meeting mall. This place has been here for at least 20 years and is one of the last eatery still standing. I used to go when I was in my teens, now when I take my daughter to the mall to play I have to get some. Always the chicken teriyaki with extra chicken and sauce. So happy they are still open and food tastes exactly how I remember.“

“Sheri is the best! Her and Dennis are always welcoming towards our groups. We go a lot and they have both become household names at this point! We have sent other large parties there for birthdays/other events. Would 10/10 recommend!“

“Great place to eat at Assi Food Plaza. Quick and relatively cheap during these times of inflation. Lots of options to choose from. Really love their Donkatsu and the Curry Rice. The peanut dressing on their salad is top tier. Most things cost around $10 to $20. ?“

“This place is a gem. Fast and friendly service, the best ginger dressing on a house salad I have ever tasted. The freshest fish you will find on the main line. The rice was served at the perfect temperature. The owners and staff are the nicest people you will ever meet. If I could only eat at one restaurant for the rest of my life, this would be the one.“

“Great tasty eclectic Japanese food“
