50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Havertown

“10/10 most delicious hibachi!“

“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“

“Went to Uni Sushi Last Week, food comes out fast and the taste is perfectly good. My child also like to eat there.“

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

“I stopped by for lunch and will be back for dinner. It's that good!
I had a bowl of spicy tonkatsu And a cucumber avocado roll. Both dishes were perfect. They may have some of the best jammy eggs I've had in ramen before. Place it top shelf all the way and cannot recommend enough.“

“First time here yesterday and we will absolutely be back! I’ve been craving sushi for some time now and this absolutely hit the spot! The portions are bigger than expected and every single bite was delicious. First time in a long time I’ve kept eating even when so full. The service was great and not pushy and I love that the windows by the bar open up fully so you’re looking onto the street. 10/10, thank you Urban Sushi family!“

“I'm shocked I do not have a photo of the Salmon Bento that I have gotten at least 20 times already. I usually have it delivered via Uber Eats and it's so good that I dive right in when I get it! It comes with perfectly cooked salmon on a bed of sauteed broccoli and onions in a yummy teriyaki sauce. The sides are shrimp and veggie tempura, gyoza, California rolls, and white rice. You know when you find that one go-to restaurant that eases even the worst day at work? Sakura is that restaurant for me!

If you want the bento at a cheaper price - try the lunch specials; it's equally delicious!

I highly recommend this place and will continue to order hopefully for years to come!

Thank you Sakura owner and employees for bringing joy to my day!“

“I am a bit of a sushi efficianado and this place blows me away every time. The freshness of their ingredients set it apart. they carefully construct their bowls and I haven't had a dissapointing roll yet. It's also extremely affordable. I really recommend the Poke bowl. If you're a fan of sushi this place is a must try.“

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

“Great service and excellent food!“

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

“Another great little hidden gem so many in philadelphia, we had an awesome cold soba noodle salad and spicy marinated cucumbers on the side.The bowl was very big so we were able to share what a nice place.Great place to come and just relax and enjoy nice summer night. People were very nice“

“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.“

“The salmon is always incredibly fresh, and the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. My coworkers and I come here often for lunch or dinner, and we’ve always had a great experience. Friendly service, delicious food, and a welcoming environment. Highly recommend!“

“Hey get there fast
This seems to be a family owned well run restaurant
After landing in philly and resting a few hours i walked to the acme from my airbnb for wine and minor things but i saw fuki sushi was across the street along side the peruvian chicken joint. I got a couple pieces of chicken from the peruvian chicken joint (i will review them on another post) and i decided to eat at fuki sushi and let me say i was no ways disappointed. This joint is slamming and smacking. I had a Japanese lycee soda (with the marble in it) but i lost the smacker for the marble so the waiter said i will bring you another no sir just charge me for both and we good. I love lycees but this had the slight flavor of lycee but it will have to do until i get back to the east.
The food
I had pan fried chicken pot stickers which were so delicious
I had the dragon roll sushi which was busy spicy hot and flavorful
It was all so good
This place was busy with lots of take out orders
But i recommend grabbing a table
Eating and enjoying the meal immediately
I will return before i leave but this place is a 5 star joint
Enjoy“

“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!“

“I love the poke bowls at this place; they have different toppings that seem very healthy to me. The drinks are also very varied. I recommend it because I'm someone who enjoys eating delicious food, and the staff has always been very friendly to me.🥗🙌“

“Great tasty eclectic Japanese food“

“Went here for a little sushi date. Perfect spot.

Not too fancy, also not too casual.

Arrived around 8:30 PM - they said that they typically close the kitchen around 9:00 PM, so it was “last call,” but they also didn’t make us feel rushed.

Fei, our server, was incredible - extremely friendly, attentive, and social.

I’ll definitely be back!“

“Kabuki offers great value for money. It is a very affordable japanese restaurant offering a variety of sushi, sashimi, rolls and hot dishes. We are coming regularly for their lunch specials.
Waiters are nice and helpful.
I would highly recommend to got to Kabuku for a quick lunch.“

“I ordered several party trays from Tokyo Sushi and it was an amazing experience.
Everything was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. As soon as I put the trays out, everyone was impressed!

The staff was very friendly and helpful, and there were so many great options to choose from. Everyone at the party found something they loved, and the vegetarian options were especially well done and thoughtfully prepared, which I really appreciated.

Great quality, variety, and service all around!
I would absolutely order from them again for future gatherings and highly recommend their catering.“

“My go to byob sushi place in media! The food is always so fresh and amazing. The rock shrimp tempura and calamari are so good with the side sauces they come with. I also love love, love their peanut avocado roll that I have yet to find anywhere else as food! Service is always quick and enjoyable!“

“Kasumi Sushi is located in a newer strip mall with ample, but tight parking. The inside was bright and nicely decorated. The floors were a little sticky and didn't look mopped. 

There are split booth's along the wall and quad tables throughout the inside. I sat at the long wooden sushi counter which was a little low for my liking, but I could still see the sushi chef in action. 

The staff was very attentive and nice. I was the only patron in there for a little while before it began to fill up around noon.

Their menu contains apps, classic rolls/signature rolls/sushi/sashimi, soups, salads, yaki soba/udon, Japanese ramen and teriyaki. They seem to be a QSR Japanese offering (no big bloated menu) with simple, but plenty of well thought out choices.

I ordered miso soup - $2.50 - was salty and had an off flavor. I would skip it next time. 

For sushi I went with the Angel Roll - $13.95 shrimp tempura, avocado topped with spicy crab meat with mayo, old bay powder - sizable pieces of eight that had a nice mix of flavors. I would have liked more spice, but a good choice and I also chose the Cowboy - $15.95 eight pieces, pepper tuna, avocado topped with seared beef with spicy mayo, hot chili, scallion, fried onion - big portion, tender beef, would have liked more spice, but overall the flavors went well together. The ingredients were fresh and the rolls were tight and held together.

I left absolutely stuffed. For this area of the city and for the parking, I think this spot is great. The roll varieties were creative, presentation was good and wait time was minimal (sushi chef was quick on the draw!) with fair prices. 

The bathroom was ok, but needed a good cleaning. 

I would repeat.

Thanks guys!“

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

“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!“

“New Leaf is a Manayunk staple for sushi and Asian cuisine. I’ve ordered delivery and dine-in, and it’s never disappointed.

I’ve never sat at the bar, but I wonder if it’s good. It looks like a decent spot, maybe next time I’ll check it out!

Pics are from a sushi delivery.“

“Food was high quality and expertly prepared. Overall a good value. Aside from two other patrons talking obnoxiously loud, the experience was great. Just a friendly reminder when you go to a restaurant, remember to use your inside voice. The other patrons don't need to hear about your career path or other life choices.“

“We ate here last week.
Outstanding food and good value also. Large portions and FRESH !!!
Pleasant attentive service.
Pleasant music at a low volume.
The only thing they should consider changing?
Bigger napkins, they're gnome or Tinker bell size.
Thank you, excellent !!!“

“Amazing food and the best staff“

“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.“

“I've been to this restaurant a few times as my friend introduced it to me + it never disappoints. The first time I went on my own after church I tried Sushi for the 1st time I had Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a salmon cucumber rolls and they were so good my favorite is the Philadelphia Roll. Today I went w/ my friend and we had the Chicken Urbon Ramen soup (hopefully I spelled right, haha!) it was so good ☺️. Totally recommend 😉“

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

“We had a really good experience dining here! The highlights of the dining were definitely the staff and the food quality. The service was excellent—the staff was incredibly attentive throughout our meal. The sushi was absolutely outstanding and fresh. The only downside to our meal was the fried rice, which wasn't that great and lacked the same level of flavor as the rolls.
That being used, the fantastic sushi and top-notch service more than made up for it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“My family of 10 went for a birthday. We had a great time. The food was delicious. The performance was extremely entertaining. The fire volcano was iconic! Everyone loved that. The service was top notch. We all had a great time and will be coming back. I felt that the price was worth the experience. It was about $35 a person. More then half of us ordered the steak.“

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

“Beautiful restaurant.Extensive menu service was great in the food was so so so so so yummy.Plenty of parking. Also , i'm gluten , free and have a hard time at asian restaurants , but they were so helpful here could make most thongs on the menu gluten free and it was delicious. highly recommend.“

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

“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“

“Best ramen I had ever had“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I went here a few years ago. The hibachi shrimp, steak, noodles, and fried rice were all excellent and flavorful. The sushi was delicious too. At the time, we couldn't eat in so we had to take it to go. I think it was around covid time.“

“This is my second time ordering from Hong Kong Asian Cuisine, and once again, the food was exceptional. The General Taos Shrimp was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into each dish. I’ll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend“

“Best sushi I’ve ever had! Everything is incredibly fresh and high quality. They always include a complimentary salad and miso soup, which is such a nice touch. Delivery is super fast, the flavors are perfect, and you can really tell they care about quality and consistency. I 100% recommend this place — absolutely amazing every time!“
