37 Best Japanese Restaurants near Glenside

“I got a DoorDash order from here today. It was truly some of the best miso soup I’ve ever had. The special role that I ordered was wrapped with cucumber and although impossible to eat in a one bite, the fish was very fresh and the taste overall was excellent. I also had gyoza which were very good.“

“My boyfriend and I wanted to try something new in the Northern Liberty area as we frequent the area quite a bit, and decided to give Yanaga a try. After just one dine in experience, it's become one of our new favorite spots to eat, and it's definitely on the restaurant rotation for when we go out to eat!

The place is very decked out with anime stickers, manga panels, and the like, while also playing different kinds of anime on the TVs they have on premise. I really recommend the spot, for just the food alone even if you don't like anime.“

“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.“

“​I had a fantastic meal here recently. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented—you can really tell they use high-quality ingredients.
​The service was equally impressive; the staff was attentive and welcoming to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s the perfect spot for a delicious sushi. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“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“

“Well, let’s start off with the fact that the food here is amazing, so far, every single time I’ve eaten the ramen here with my girlfriend, we both were in for an amazing treat, the ramen is delicious and the broth is flavorful, and we also have gotten onigiri and spam masubi, both of which were also delicious, and the place and atmosphere are very cute and very cozy, not only that, the service here is often very friendly and sweet and welcoming, and they seem to really care about their customers and their experience, highly recommend! 10/10“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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++++“

“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.“

“Sushi was great, miso was great. Steamed Gyoza was ok.

They did forgot our salad but after eating the food we aren’t even too upset. The sushi was good and fresh. Rice was perfect.

Will definitely be back soon!“

“Will definitely be coming back soon when I'm in Chinatown. The place was nice and clean and super attentive. The sashimi was super fresh and just a welcoming place with so many options of sushi to choose from. Me and my boyfriend got their Valentines course and it was beautiful. I got a rose when I was leaving out from one of the servers which was so sweet!! Thank you guys for the amazing experience.“

“อร่อยทุกอย่างเลยค่ะ ชอบสลัดอร่อย บริการเร็ว พนักงานบริการดี อาหารอร่อย 🫶🏻🥓🥢🥙“

“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 amazing food. I got takoyaki and tonkatsu ramen, both of which were amazing. The takoyaki were obviously freshly made, and tasted delicious, and the ramen was flavorful and rich. I got chashu pork in my ramen and my only regret is not ordering extra meat, because it was so tender and flavorful. It was all very reasonably priced, especially considering how massive the portion of ramen was. My entire meal came out to around $20.“

“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.“

🍽️ Food Quality & Taste
The food here is nice and fresh, and you can absolutely taste it. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, clean, and satisfying without being heavy. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you full but still happy you stopped in.

💰 Value for the Price
Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality you’re getting. It feels like a solid win—good food without feeling like you overpaid.

🧼 Cleanliness
The restaurant is clean and well-kept, which always makes the experience better. Nothing distracted from the meal, and that’s exactly how it should be.

🤝 Customer Service
Top tier. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. You feel taken care of from the moment you walk in.

⏱️ Wait Time & Convenience
Huge plus here—I was able to walk right in and get a table. Perfect for a quick stop while running errands on City Ave without needing to plan ahead.

📸 Presentation & Atmosphere
The space is intimate and not very big, which actually works in its favor. It’s cozy, calm, and a great spot to sit down, reset, and enjoy a good meal without the chaos of a larger restaurant.

⚠️ Red Flags or Warnings
None to note. Just keep in mind it’s a smaller space, so it’s more of a cozy dine-in experience than a big group hangout.

Fuki Ramen and Sushi is a great little neighborhood spot—fresh food, fair prices, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely a solid choice when you want quality without the fuss.“

“Best meal I have had….maybe ever!“

“Always fresh made to order food“

“it's a wonderful place! GOD bless Genji sushi Bars“

“Good food Fun to watch the chef life cooking Very friendly“

“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 place & atmosphere love it“

“This is a hidden gem for those that appreciate Asian or Japanese inspired dishes. I'm on a low carb diet and ordered a bowl without rice. The friendly employee suggested placing the meal on a salad and it was terrific. I will definitely be back for more! The prices are a bit more economical than typical sushi or hibachi restaurants. They are take-out or delivery only.“
