50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lansdowne

“I absolutely love eating here! I’ve dined in a few times but I get take out more often. I’ve had so many different items from both the Chinese and the Japanese menu and I’ve never been disappointed. Their Chicken Lo Mein is the best I’ve had and I really love their Hawaiian roll too! The staff is always very nice and they always make the food quickly!“

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

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

“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“

“Everything was so good. No fishy or stale flavors. Staff were very friendly and very informative on all the different types of sushi. Will be coming back. The A5 Wagu Uni hand roll was amazing!“

“Worth every penny IMO. If you're looking for an omakase experience that is both interactive/educational and a good mix of classic/inspired, this is the place for you. Kudos to Chef Andy for his hospitality and expertise! So nice to have an elevated experience without the supercilious elitist attitudes. Will be back!“

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

“Kei Sushi is our favorite neighborhood sushi spot. We proudly bring out-of-town friends and family here to show off the quality, yet unpretentious nature, of the Philly food scene. The fish is always super fresh yet the prices are fairly reasonable. My personal favorite is their chirashi bowl — and I love that they make it kosher-style (you know you’re in Philly when this is an option already offered on the menu 😅). Overall, Kei is consistently delicious, presentation is spot on, and the atmosphere is laid back.“

“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 had been eyeing on this mari mari restaurant awhile, finally had a time to try them out omg the inari was so good, the tonkotsu ramen was delicious but I maybe I’m alittle confused about small portions protein of the meat but the dishes was good and satisfying might go here with a friends next time ☺️“

“First time visiting and we had an amazing time! Kinme is a small BYOB restaurant with an amazing food selection! The food is absolutely delicious! I kept thinking of more items to order. The service was also great! If you love great sushi, you'll definitely want to add Kinme to your list!“

“WOW.

Such amazing food and service. Best shen jian bao in the city. Top notch buns with legit filling at good prices too. This place should be packed constantly - gotta walk through the maze of the station to get there but WORTH IT“

“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!“

“Fiancé and I stopped by because our other meal plans fell through. He’s had ramen before I have not. For my first experience it was absolutely fantastic! Tiny out of the way place which was cozy, sushi and sashimi were excellent and fresh, spicy miso ramen was unbelievable!! Portions were large as well so come hungry!! The young man that served us was very courteous and friendly! We will definitely be back!!!“

“Tuna Bar is one of my favorite restaurants! Especially love that cocktail with the gin wasabi & cucumber 🍸😍🍣“

“This is a lovely dining experience! Delicious fresh fish sushi & sashimi, ramen is exceptional--I especially love the mushroom broth ramen while my husband usually orders the pork broth one. All noodles homemade. Good beer selection, wonderful green tea. We bring friends from out of town here whenever we can. The service is also excellent.“

“Great service and very delicious sushi.“

“Great entry level omakase experience! The sushi was amazing and very good quality. Compared to other sushi omakase places in the city, this one was very affordable and great for people who have never tried it. I hope to go back soon. I do wish they did a bit more explaining on the food and sushi and how each dish was conceived.“

“Very good“

“The ambience was very lovely and the food was very delicious.“

“My sons and I had the best experience. It was our first time the food was outstanding. The service was incredible. We decided it's going to be our new go to place - we highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar if you're small group. Can't wait to go again!“

“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!“

“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“

“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 🍜🍹.“

“We had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally did. It's a cute little place, the service is very good, and the food is good, but the portions are very small for the most part. I ordered a miso soup, a seaweed salad, a tuna roll, a salmon roll, and a mochi ice cream and I still was not very full afterwards. You get just a little bit of seaweed salad for $5.95. The rolls are tiny. You get one small mochi cut in half for $2.50. I might order a set dinner next time or more likely go somewhere else where I can get more food for my money.“

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

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

“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’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 .“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Their Karoke Room was Amazing! Definitely booking for our next Private Event. My family are huge fans of Sushi and the selection at Samurai certainly didn't disappoint. I'm a fan of the Tuna Lover. I can't wait to return!“

“Great service and excellent food!“

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

“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!“

“Rolls are a good size and are very full, so you get your money’s worth. The sushi roll lunch deals are great and I 10/10 recommend! The spicy kani roll tasted slightly fishy (nothing too off putting), but the spicy tuna and shrimp tempura rolls are delicious.“

“the suchi was delicious I'm sorry I'm so hungry I didn't take a photo the light vegetable soup and ramen was very good I'm Mexican and my palate is quite demanding I liked the experience. I told my husband I recommend the Japanese pozole !! mexican joke !!!“

“Delivers for what it is. This is not a high end Japanese restaurant, but it doesn't try to be. As a result, we had really good food for a decent price. The Rock n Roll was tasty, as was the Shiroi Hama roll. No complaints. I can't say that I'd go again, but that's only because there are other food options, not because there was anything wrong here.“

“A staple in Philly sushi scene - consistent quality and flavors. Service always good. Good variety of your usual and a nice twist to some old favorites. Ordered the gyoza soup, tuna ceviche, a la carte sushi. Street parking good throughout on Sunday and is free.“

“Never disappoints“

“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.“

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

“I haven't been there for a long time. The indoor environment is still good, but the music is very loud, so it is not a good place for chatting.“

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

“Great tasty eclectic Japanese food“

“The food was very good. We were impressed by the quality and speed. The staff was very friendly and patient. There was a group of 8-10 tweens that were in there ordering bottles of water and soda and some rice and being very loud and rude. They handled it very well, even when the kids kept pushing and pushing. Great job, will definitely order from there when I'm back in the city.“

“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!“
