“Wow, what an amazing outdoor teppanyaki experience in the backyard! The food was absolutely delicious, with the meat cooked to perfection on the hot plate—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The host was so welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. The whole atmosphere was lively and fun, with everyone enjoying the great food and good company. It's a fantastic way to spend time with friends and family. I highly recommend this backyard teppanyaki to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable dining experience!“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

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

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

“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! ⭐️“

“Best food and service! I'm so happy to have found and amazing Asian fusion restaurant near me. I haven't eaten Chinese takeout in many years and am very pleased with the quality and exceptional customer service at Qing Mu. The food is cooked fresh so be kind and patient, it's worth the wait. I definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?“

“Great quality and amazing customer service. Definitely our go-to sushi spot. We used to live around the corner from it and now we are further and still make the trip to eat here. The place is small and intimate, and the staff are very attentive. For example, I spilled my soy sauce bowl on the table and I hadn’t even picked up the napkin to clean it up when the staff had already placed more napkins on the table.“

“My evening at Morimoto‘s will be the best memory of my visit to Philadelphia! If I was a local, I’d be in to have their Wasabi Watercress Caesar salad at least once a week. Brilliant! Service was excellent, all the food was lovely, and the restaurant itself, with its soft jewel-tone colors and wave-like forms, was a delight to be in.“

“This place has the absolute BEST chicken ramen I have ever had. Such perfect broth, chicken seasoned in an ethnic indoasian blend, which is consistent every time I go! The menu is diverse and every item I have had has been delicious, including the specialty sushi rolls! This has been my go to spot for a year now for a casual meal or delivery and I would recommend anyone to try it!“

“Had a great time here! Unfortunately I did have to wait for the rest of the people booked for my same time slot to show up... So I waited like 25+ mins. I get it because it makes sense for the dishes to be served in sequence rather than skipping around but at that point I wish they would've just moved their time if it was possible to the next slot 😅 at least chef started prepping fish while we waited but it was agonizing to watch while I was hungry. Overall the service was very polite and they were quick to clear away plates and between courses and refill my water.

Chef Eric was great and made sure we knew what each piece was (altho I agree with others that with the music that wasnt tooooo loud it was still a little hard for me to hear him sometimes). I think they might overdo some of the showy additions and flavors when the fish quality should show for itself, but maybe it's just geared that way so people feel like they got their money's worth. Foie gras on like two of the pieces just felt like an odd add on, I liked it but I don't think it goes together with eel that well personally and I can't remember the other piece that had it. The gold dust on one of the pieces was a little silly since it doesn't have any flavor, but it does make for a neat video. The bar lighting is def set up for photos. They torch a decent amount of the fish and sauce it. I do think this is still a good omakase deal and was appropriately balanced between an intimate experience and entertaining. I imagine if the bar was full of people though that it might feel too crowded, it was only four of us total for the time slot I was in and I had come alone.

They do some fun stuff for people's birthdays, the guys next to me got a special second hand roll from our chef and singing and they even set off a little popper. I thought the pacing was good once we got started and it went by pretty quickly, I think the experience ended up being about an hour in the end but we were a small ish group for the timeslot. It seems like they do two chefs per bar with staggered seatings? And there's the upstairs in addition to the downstairs.

I'd probably come again, as a treat. Ive only been to one other sushi omakase in the city (it was cheaper and I ended up leaving hungry, it has since shut down), otherwise my other experience was in Japan proper. I was comfortably full at the end of this but I am a fairly small woman with not a hugeee appetite so keep that in mind. They don't do any upsell at the end of the meal if you want more pieces, but they do say you can chill out and finish your BYOB drinks it seems. If I was hungry afterwards I'd get ice cream down the street after or something haha.“

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

“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“

“The two rolls we got were flavorful and so was the salmon entree. But the portion sizes left me disappointed and still hungry. The server was friendly but service felt a little too casual for the price point. Overall the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming and it was still a good experience.“

“Got the shrimp teriyaki bento box. Portion was massive. Came with some tempura pieces including a big shrimp tempura. The shrimp was cooked good on both. Rice was cooked good. Not dry or too wet. Came with some dumplings too. Would order again! Maybe would get beef next time. There’s a bunch of different options.“

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

“First time visit. Very pleased with high quality tastes and superb friendly service. Both seaweed and avocado salad are plentiful and authentic. Yaki ebi is perfect. Two people will be $35 not including tip. Extensive menu and clean bathrooms.“

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

“I had a delightful lunch at Osushi with a friend this week. My salmon bento box was perfect. The miso soup, salmon, rice, veggies and California roll was quite plentiful and very delicious. The green tea mochi was served with a dollop of whipped cream and a Pirouette all of which was a very nice ending to our meal. I highly recommend!“

“The sushi there was hella fresh, especially the salmon and the fruit mango. The mango was sweet and did not taste sour at all. The server was also very nice and considerate. The tables were spaced out and wiped clean. It was very comfortable in there. DEFINITELY COMING BACK WITH MY FRIENDS NEXT TIME!“

“We got there for an early dinner Saturday afternoon and immediately got a table. We put orders in and we’re fast served. The food was very delicious and well done. Good presentation, the server was very professional, ambient was clean and a pleasant music in the back. Good location on Drexel Campus. Easy to park on the streets.“

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

“This was my first there the food was great .Fast serving an very nice an clean.I think I be back again 🥢😋“

“Exactly what you're looking for if you want take-out sushi, or just a quick sushi bite. It's not going to blow you away or anything, but it's GREAT portions, for a very solid price, and IMO, as I said, exactly what we're looking for when we want take-out sushi. We will definitely be coming here again. Oh, and the people working there are quiet but extremely nice and respectful. Can't wait to come back.“

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

“Fabulous meal and service! Super clean and great portions with fresh offerings. Definitely on my go-to list for sushi in the city now -- and a marvelous venue for a business lunch. Parking may be tricky, but there are a few open-air lots nearby, if it comes to it. Trust me, it's worth springing those extra bucks.“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“Amazing restaurant very intimate great lighting great atmosphere food was really good service was nice a little wait time but it was great experience me and my girlfriend started a good world tour and this was the first stop and it was a good one“

“Tokyo Sushi offers affordable and delicious items and is conveniently located in the Concourse of the Comcast Center. They have a wide range of Japanese food/drinks (many of which were prepackaged but still hot/appealing), as well as oatmilk matcha :) will definitely return!“

“Excellent local, niche market with fabulous variety of fresh fish and seafood. Regularly also purchase top-quality produce (fruit and vegetables). Staff is extremely friendly and polite. Definitely a weekly shopping stop and would highly, highly recommend!“

“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“

“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“

“5 stars all around for great food, service, and atmosphere. I came in there Saturday night with my fiancée and ordered all you can eat sushi, and it was amazing. The goyza appetizer was also amazing. On street parking was also a breeze (at least in my experience). Will definitely be coming back“

“Love this BYOB spot in South Philly. Quality food, service and very reasonable cost. Although I’ve moved out of the area I regularly take the drive to patronize this spot even over the local and more “upscale” venues in my area. 5 Stars all around!“

“Wednesday I came up the escalator to find that there is a buy 2 get 1 free sushi special on Wednesdays! I haven’t gotten sushi here in quite some time, but am soooo happy I did. Shrimp Tempura, Yellowtail Scallion, and Salmon rolls for $18?? And it was extremely fresh, I can’t emphasize the quality of this sushi for the price. I feel like the shrimp tempura could have been cut in larger pieces to avoid them falling apart as much but hey it’s all going in my tummy anyway.

*I ate a couple pieces before I took the picture it looked so good I couldn’t wait
*I promise you the amount of tuna and yellowtail used is not being done justice in the picture! Definitely a solid quantity of fish in the rolls.
*The people at the counter were lovely 💖

“Great service and very delicious sushi.“

“Well made & seasoned. Created quickly with precision. My daughter asked for her 13th Birthday dinner to be ordered from here. They even have a Birthday roll which was fantastic. They gave the birthday girl an extra pastry & what we can only describe as a special Birthday roll/cake. See pic. Highly recommend.“

“My first time ordering here and the food was fresh and delicious ! The gyoza were crispy , but not greasy and the filling tasted like chicken and onions . The dipping sauce was far too salty ( but it could be because I’m used to low sodium ‘ not sure ) . I will definitely be ordering again - this may just be my new favorite spot :D“

“Amazing restaurant featuring high quality sushi and house made noodles. The sushi bar chefs are fun and informative and the servers are knowledgeable and efficient. The quality of the roe/caviar and uni on the sushi dishes really stood out. The hot tea with roasted rice was also very good!“

“The veggie dumplings and the seared tuna with cucumber and carrot salad were delicious. Tried my friend's California roll, which was good, too. Nice grab and go selection and you can order what you like if it's not in their refrigerated case.“

“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 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 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.“

“amazing food. extremely quick service.“

“I went here for dinner tonight around 4ish. I found a parking spot on the side street the same block as the old tower Theater. It’s a metered street. I waited for about 15 minutes for my food. I chose the spicy. The heat level was nice!!! I enjoyed it and there was a lot of hot chili oil in the bottom of the rice but I just mixed it in and ate it. I like that their wings are not big. They were a perfect size.

I drove and ate my food and by the time I got from 69th and Market to 63rd and City Avenue, my wings were gone! I told my son that we could share so he can try it as well but when I tell you, I actually thought for a second not to give him any of this food because that flavor really stayed on my pallet for quite some time.

I also ordered the shrimp with fried rice but it was just ok. The shrimp were too small. The fried fish was fried too hard.

Overall I really enjoyed what I came for. I will be come here whenever I’m in the area because I live too far to come here often. I’m kind of glad I don’t live close!“

“My son and I just moved to the area about a month ago, and we stumbled upon FUKI — it’s quickly become our new favorite spot! My son loves ramen, and they always make it plain just the way he likes it. I usually get the salmon teriyaki, which is served beautifully seared with teriyaki sauce over onions and peppers, alongside rice — absolutely delicious. We’ve also tried the crab fried rice, and everything has been fresh, hot, and flavorful every time.

The service is quick, the staff are friendly, and the restaurant is extremely clean. We always enjoy our visits and truly wish them the best of luck. Highly recommend!“

“I’m from Taiwan, and finding sushi this perfect here was such a delight! The sushi was incredibly delicious and truly authentic. The environment was quiet and peaceful — my mom and I were tired from walking, and sitting down here to enjoy such tasty, reasonably priced food made us genuinely happy. If you come across this restaurant, you absolutely have to try it!“
