50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Havertown

“the teppanyaki grills. the skill and techniques, the style and positive energy flowing through the whole restaurant is found no where else.“

“Excellent food and service“

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

“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.“

“Very good“

“"Kumanon 3 is awesome! food was very good & great service! Can't wait to be back"! Bubble Tea Mango Delicious“

“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 got the Chicken Bento Box and let me tell you: this food was out of this world. I cannot express enough how amazing the food was: the chicken was juicy, full of flavor, and tender while the bento box had amazing side dishes that complimented each other pretty well. The food is also relatively cheap and they have a wide selection of different dishes, desert, etc. They were also really quick with the food and provided great customer service. I would definitely go again.“

“Excellent food at reasonable price, good service, cozy and so close to home!“

“Takumi was nothing short of AMAZING. Our server eveylynn was the incarnate EMBODIMENT of service. She had an authentic, respectful, and courteous nature as is the custom in her culture and definitely added to the overall atmosphere and authenticity of Takumi. The food was amazingly fresh, and thats coming from someone who has eaten at michelin rated sushi restaurants. All around GREAT GREAT GREAT. Pricing is incredible as well.“

“Just moved to the area, this was our first time here. The sushi was good and crab rangoons were so crispy! It’s been a while since I’ve had good crab rangoons anywhere in Philly. All the dishes we saw served, along with our own, were colorful and creatively decorated. Our service was fast and all the staff were attentive and kind. Would definitely recommend for dining in or take out!“

“Good sushi spot in Philly!“

“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!“

“It was clean the waitress was nice and the food was soooo good“

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

“We’ve been coming here for almost a year and it’s 100% the best sushi in the area. Everything we’ve tried on the menu is worth getting again. Highly recommend the chicken katsu in addition to all the delicious and fresh rolls. Attentive service and the friendliest staff. This restaurant is the definition of a hidden gem.“

“the food and service was amazing! My partner and I went there during a busy weekend and we were still able to eat indoors. The restaurant does seem to be mainly a take out spot to the locals but the dinning service was great. the rolls were so good and fresh!
We will definitely come back when we're in the area.“

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

“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.“

“I got the 3 rolls special for $15.95. If you go in before 3pm, they also give you a free miso soup. My favorite was the fried calamari! So good. It’s really substantial and cheap. Worth it! Awesome service, delicious food, would love to come back next time!“

“Favorite sushi place! We came from out of state because we love this restaurant so much. We've come many times, usually dine-in but also once to go. The sushi is very fresh and tasty, and reasonably priced. We especially enjoy the sweetheart roll, Godzilla roll, rose roll, and new rainbow roll! Pleasant staff and lovely atmosphere, as well. Can't recommend enough!

I didn't get pics of our most recent visit but added pictures we previously took.“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“This restaurant, previously named MoguMogu, is now WADAYA with the same owner and same recipe. It is an absolute fun experience to eat here. The noodles are delicious. The drinks are unique. I highly recommend the Yuzu Cocktail (and for you to play the dice game). The service will make you feel at home. You will leave happy 🍜🍹.“

“The variety of food and service at Poke It Up was very good. Honestly wish I'd tried it sooner! There are different varieties of poke bowls to select from or you can make your own. The fish was very fresh and came with a healthy portion of rice. The veggies and sauce complimented the meal and the serving size (for me) was quite large so easily came for two meals. Definitely recommend!“

“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!“

“Osushi consistently delivers the best sushi on the Main Line.
Every single time.
The food is always fresh and the rolls are to die for. The plating is beautiful and fun for us and the kids!
Service and ambiance are equally good and consistent.
Stop reading this and go already!“

“Was so relaxing food great, place clean, staff very courteous service with friendly…“

“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“

“We love Yuki! They have outstanding food, from appetizers to a large selection of Sushi. We've never had a bad meal or bad service here. We have been ordering delivery once a week since the quarantine (min order of $25 to qualify). They are offering credit card payment over the phone, and the delivery man safely passed off our order from a distance while wearing gloves. Support local businesses like Yuki Sushi right now if you're able to!“

“Great tasty eclectic Japanese food“

“I ordered 2 sushi rolls: Cocomo and Salmon Volcano. They were both incredibly fresh and flavorful. Very unique and original. They're both large rolls, especially the Volcano. I took some home. My husband was extremely happy. Highly recommend.“

“It was ok ..good cook ..but they rush you in the end , when the place is empty. They bring out boxes n check before your even done your food. But I love the salad dressing ..I buy it to go, n the teriyaki chic. Is good n my grandson loved the steak. And they sang Happy Birthday to my grandson with some ice cream I think it was.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and the best staff“

“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“

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

“The food is phenomenal, some of the best authentic Chinese & Japanese cuisine. Literally purchase food 3-4 a month, our food today was amazing. The lo mein and sushi amazing! They literally earned my business, found my preferred restaurant!“

“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.“

“I had poke for gluten free meal and my wife had chicken noodle. Both meals were great. There were plenty of tables nearby. We will certainly come back to this place when we pass through the PHL airport.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“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“

“You choose 1 main (like tofu teriyaki), and get two sides with it.
Very tasty! Very great workers, and great portions!
Only one star away from 5 due to the disposable utensils and plastic clamshell (polluting someone's back yard).“

“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.“

“Cute little place and the food could be in a fancy restaurant👍 Well presented and everything was delicious! The staff was kind and efficient. Excellent experience here“

“Working on Saturday, just wanted to pick something easy up. Got the Teriyaki chicken bento and it was great! No complaints, loved the teriyaki flavor & would try it or another one again. The price reflected the amount of food I got so I’m satisfied.“

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

“We have become regulars at Azie! Food is always creative and well designed but it is the service that keeps us coming back…..compliments to Ms. Murf at the bar.and her coworkers!“

“Best ramen I had ever had“

“I recently ordered the Dynamite Spicy Salmon and was thoroughly impressed. The dish has spicy salmon and fried shrimp, generously topped with a variety of fresh and flavorful ingredients. The portions are incredibly generous, making it a truly satisfying meal. This is easily one of the best poke bowls I've had in Philadelphia.“

“We were in town for my daughter’s wedding and they made the entire dining experience amazing. It was a true pleasure to meet and chat with Margaret. They definitely went above and beyond for our big family to allow us to have a delicious meal and an wonderful dining experience“
