41 Best Japanese Restaurants near Glenside

“We went here before a show at the Keswick. We arrived early enough We didn't need to wait to be seated. About an hour later that was not the case for people walking in around 630pm. We asked for one of each menus (normal and all you cam eat). We were tossed two normal menus and away the server went to retrieve our waters. My girlfriend ordered all you can eat, and I got General Tso. The main dish for her came out before her appetizers which was strange. Also, it came out separate from my meal. Both meal were very good! As for the food we loved it. Very big portions. Only complaints was my veggies surrounding my main course was not even warm. Would we go back, surely. The food was worth it. Last add in i only gave the atmosphere 2 stars as I was getting bucked like riding a bull the entire meal as the seats transfer every single movement from the couple on the other side.“

“My third time back and Yanaga, and it didn't disappoint! I love the mini tasting they offer - such a great deal since I can't always spring for the full omakase. The sushi is fresh and delicious, the cocktails are creative and complex, and the happy hour deals are so worth it! I tried the wagyu hot dog for the first time and even though I came there for the raw fish, that was a standout menu item for me.
The ambiance is laid back and fun, never pretentious. The waitresses and friendly and knowledgeable and never made me feel rushed.
I already can't wait to be back!“

“I really like how the owners of that shop is pretty nice and hospitable. The atmosphere of the shop is pretty good too and it’s clean there. Thee food? 100000/10 THEIR FOOD IS JUST 👌🏻 IT’S SO GOOD!!:3 I really recommend this shop“

“Toyosu offers attractive, delicious sushi, sashimi, and poke, with a focus on take-out customers—if you opt to eat at one of the few tables available, you will still receive and consume your food in plastic containers. However, you probably won’t mind because you’ll be too busy devouring crisply presented morsels of fish, prepared by aces with big-league experience.“

“The best softshell cranio I’ve ever had, even better than mine, and that’s just the beginning. Never had a bad meal here. And the crepe cakes are perfect to take home for a late dessert (or next morning’s breakfast) after some time to digest.“

“If it’s your first omakase experience then you’ll like it. If you’ve had more expensive omakase before, then this one doesn’t really have the same experience factor. The quality of the fish was good but it was fast(less than 1h) and felt rushed. The sushi chef didn’t really explain anything other than state the obvious name of the fish. But it’s good for the price.“

“Very good“

“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!“

“The wife and I ordered from here tonight. the indoor atmosphere is for cozy and definitely family friendly. The guy that helped us was very friendly. We ordered appetizers which were perfect sized and delicious. The sushi rolls were the best we have had in ages. We will definitely be coming back. A++++“

“I think it’s my favorite take out sushi nowadays. Yes, we haven’t been served inside but we got multiple times take out and it’s pretty consistent and delicious! You know what is my favorite - it’s Tuna Hako Maki, it’s just what you want from tuna :) Volcano Maki is not what you think it’s better! Try it! Also my child likes chicken, so we get him Chicken Katsu and its generous portion and has sides, a lot of sides: miso soup, rice and sauce, salad too. It seems a good deal for Katsu dish. We tried other rolls too, so it’s good. Definitely will be getting again.“

“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.“

“Excellent service and everything we ate was delicious. My husband and I were amazed to find such high caliber Japanese food tucked away and nearby. It’s on the level with the trendiest sushi places and izakaya spots in LA, Vegas, Manhattan and San Francisco and we are so glad that it’s right here. Also the warm and welcoming owner/chef and friendly wait staff make this our go to sushi spot. The few Korean dishes on the menu are also amazing.“

“So this afternoon, I wanted to try something absolutely different and found this place Bao Button right here off of Aramingo ave!! And I have to tell you the ambience is everything the service is amazing and the food oh my goodness is excellent ! fresh , hot, flavorful. Everything was completely delicious.

“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!“

“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.“

“Cute little restaurant specializing in katsu. I got the Cheese Katsu, which comes with 6 pieces, rice, coleslaw, sauce, and sweet corn soup. I was surprisingly quite full by the time I got to the last piece, so don’t underestimate the quantity! I would definitely recommend coming here to try their katsu! Very delicious and unique.“

“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!“

“Great food , must have the tea cold tea .“

“Great place, been coming here religiously every week to get food for the whole shop, everything is delicious. Their fried rice is gold standard, better than any chinese place around. Their 3 for 16 rolls cant be beat in price nor quality. Atmosphere is always pleasant.“

“My first time experience was lovely. I went to dine-in alone and was greeted quickly by the hostess and seated.

The service staff was hospitable and attentive. They checked in on me throughout my dine-in experience. I did not want for water and I drink a lot of it.

The food was delicious. I got the tuna avocado maki roll and the chicken katsu bento. I will absolutely dine here again in the future.“

“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.“

“It was my first time eating at Osaka Hibachi and I was very pleased with both the meal and service.
I ordered the chicken and salmon hibachi and both meats were tender.
The vegetables were cooked perfectly.
The rice was also cooked well.
My only con was the teriyaki/ hibachi sauce was a tad bit salty. Other than that- great experience and you get a lot of food!“

“soooo fresh and delicious.“

“This Asian Fusion restaurant is located on Main Street in Manayunk. My first visit here a friend's choice. We were here during the Ice Festival and they had Lion Dancers performing on the hour for the festival and Lunar New Year. Our waitress was very pleasant and understanding with friend who always has a difficult time deciding what to order. So finally he got a shrimp dish with rice along with the seaweed salad which I recommended. We both liked the salad and he liked his shrimp. I ordered a large bowl of wonton soup which was in a huge bowl filled with about 15 wonton noodle wraps filled with deliciously pork. The broth was excellent!! We finished with a chocolate mousse fir desert and left happy satisfied and energetically warm.“

“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.“
