“The Braised Short Rib is beyond perfection. I truly mean perfect. The food overall was amazing. I was surprised the drinks were not good. Most things just taste like lemon juice and one drink was so bad I left it full. I will say their chilled saké is good. Great food, great service. Will be back again for sure.“

“Great spot to stop in for lunch. I love the salmon lovers roll - it has generous portions of fresh salmon sashimi on top of a salmon and cucumber roll. I have also enjoyed avocado roll with eel on top.The service is always very attentive, friendly and efficient.“

“Every visit has been amazing!After every visit, I've realized we were so excited when we got the sushi that I didn't take a single picture of it.This happened yet again tonight... so here is a picture of our receipt and our sushi loving adorable son!We'd get all these rolls again, the last few visits we've gotten the Amazing Tuna and the Geisha rolls while trying a rotation of their other specialty rolls.The Amazing Tuna~ has the BEST sauces 100%Geisha~ great texture, nice go to rollAsuka Bazooka~ we tend to like creative flavor melds but we never would have thought of adding bacon to sushi before and it really works. The jalapeños were a bit spicy, but it was well balanced.Three Musketeers~ visually it looks like too much to tobiko but when you eat a piece it melds perfectly with the quantity of fish in the roll.Tempura Lobster~ was good and exactly as described. It just maybe needed another layer of flavor or texture to really make it sing like the other rolls we enjoyed.The best part of the night was when our son got 'hired' to advertise! He truly does Eat. Sleep. Sushi. Repeat. and he LOVES the Poseidon sushi. The server and manager were great, esp with him.Our drinks were never empty, and they did a wonderful job being present without being intrusive.Can't wait to come back!“

“First time here. More like 4.5 stars. Overall, I like this place. It’s well decorated—interior design is thoughtful and tasteful, not tacky.It shares parking in the back with several other small establishments. Today it’s pouring outside, so it’s extra quiet. Yet I can imagine parking may be challenging on a sunny day.Food-wise, I think their sushi rolls are better than their ramen—I’m just not into their noodle’s texture. Their sushi rolls are of decent size and quality in their respective price category.Service is friendly. My only reservation today is: The restaurant is noticeably cold, as if they didn’t turn on the heat.“

“The sushi was really good. We had the red dragon roll and another combination roll with eel that were delicious. The staff was really friendly. The dining room is very casual and more like you'd find at a dinner, but it was quiet, so it was a nice place for conversation.“

“Found amidst other small businesses and shops in the heart of Bryn Mawr, Yamazaki Ramen might just be the cozy culinary hideaway your taste buds need. It's a modest space, sure, but what it lacks in grandeur, it compensates with a soul-warming embrace, a friendly nod, and bowls of ramen that could easily steal the show in any food lover's heart.Now, let's talk about the star of our gastronomic journey--the Yamazaki Special ramen. This bowl is more than just a meal; it's a warm embrace on a cold day, a melody of flavors that sings a harmonious ode to traditional Tonkotsu ramen. With its rich pork-bone soup, tender roast pork, and an ensemble of bamboo shoots, kikurage mushrooms, red ginger, scallions, and a perfectly poached egg, it's a dish that doesn't just satisfy hunger; it nourishes the soul.Alongside this noodle nirvana, we ventured into the realm of the Gyudon Rice Bowl. Here, we found a comforting assembly of sliced beef, onions, and pickled ginger atop a bed of rice, all gently hugged by a sweet dashi sauce. The seasoned boiled egg added a nice touch, though the dish played more of a supporting role to the show-stopping ramen. It's still a solid choice for those craving a bit of variety, offering a satisfying culinary experience.Yamazaki Ramen stands as a testament to the joys of simple, heartfelt cooking. In this unassuming spot, you'll find dishes crafted with care, flavors that linger long after the last bite, and a reminder of the quiet power of a well-made bowl of ramen.So, if find yourself in Bryn Mawr and in search of a quick & tasty bite, Yamazaki Ramen checks all of the boxes.“

“Food quality and value was good. Restaurant had a high end feel. Only minor negative was when we arrived 90% of the restaurant was empty and we were told to sit at the sushi bar because they were expecting a wave of reservations. However by the time we finished our meal the restaurant was 80% empty so we definitely could have sat at a table. The menu has a lot of good options so we will definitely return.“

“The food and service was phenomenal, the food came out so fast and right after we finished with our appetizers our plates were replaced. The sushi was so fresh and the presentation was beautiful! So happy to have found this place!! Can’t wait to come “

“Our group, which has been sampling custom sushi roll offerings around the Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester County (PA) region for over 15 years, believes we've landed on a new standard-setter with Osushi in Wayne. Beautiful presentation; excellent service; and fabulous, fresh, varied rolls. We'll be back!“

“The chef and server were very friendly and efficient. I had an array of different dishes and they all had great presentation aswell as flavor. I’d recommend their coconut shrimp because it comes with this coconut sauce that is to die for. The crab ragoons were so hot and crabby cream cheesy. Delicious. Miso soup is an obvious staple and they have a good soup. Anyway 9/10 only thing was the salmon roe sushi’s seaweed was too chewy. Other than that it was great.“

“Excellent quality sushi! My family ordered a couple sushi combos and a special roll and everything was super fresh and absolutely delicious. Best sushi I had on a long time (inmy opinion, in terms of ramen and sushi it beats some otherJapanese restaurants in the area)“

“My go-to in the food court! They have the sweetest staff. Although the food may seem pricy, they give a GREAT portion that could last two meals. Fish is fresh, and they load your bowl up pretty well. Love their boba as well - I usually stick to the fruit teas, but you get a lot for the price, and it’s really good :)“

“We held the MOST beautiful bridal shower at Veekoo! The manager and staff were exceptionally accommodating, the event was lovely and the food - as always- was SUPERB!Thanks Veekoo!Dietary restrictions: Able to devise a menu for guests who were vegetarian, and who did and did not eat sushi“

“Food is good quality. On pricey side. Atmosphere and decor is great. Staff is attentive but short staffed. You really need to get their attention for them to come byParking: Free. Plentiful. A couple of handicaps, but not right by the entranceKid-friendliness: Yes. Spacious. No diaper change tables or counterWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I came here on a cold rainy day and had the coziest experience. The service was wonderful and they offer complimentary iced barley tea. I ordered the shrimp yakisoba and it was the perfect meal for that weather! I was so hungry I didn’t think to snap photos but maybe next time (because I shall return!).“

“Located in a small strip center with a small parking lot and across the street from a much bigger lot, Osushi is a gem. We arrived for a late lunch. We started with the tofu miso soup (would prefer more tofu) that was tasty and a larger than typical serving. The tuna dumpling, tricolor tobiko roll, and the Naruto roll are pictured. The tuna dumpling included mango which compliments the overall taste. The visual appeal of every dish was outstanding (see the attached pictures). While a bit pricey, there's no denying the quality.Parking: There's a single line of parking in this steep center with a much larger public lot immediately across the street“

“My wife and I went for our first time tonight and was blown away! The food was incredible and very fresh, and the service (Gwen was our waitress) was amazing! We had no wait for a table and restaurant is very clean! We will be coming back often and recommending!“

“The food and service were amazing here! My boyfriend and I went on a late night post workout date night here. The host/server greeted us with a smile, and came to take our order pretty fast. She asked us how we were doing, and we had a friendly conversation. She was great at giving helpful suggestions on what to order. The ramen is fantastic here! The sushi, pork dumplings were delicious! The bubble tea, and desserts were great as well! All in all, our experience there was amazing and I would highly recommend it! We enjoyed listening to the music that the restaurant played as well!“

“We ordered on DoorDash. The bag was stapled at the top to be held upwards but the food was sideways. My rolls got soaked in sauce. Not a terrible thing but I’d prefer they were crispy. Highly recommend a different bagging/to go technique. The food was delicious nonetheless. I enjoyed everything in my bento box. The miso soup was good too. The dumplings were tasty but i had to pick out the beans/green vegetables was on it. Personal preference but other than that i will definitely order again. The salad was good wish it were more but it was a lunch combo so not complaining at all. Their ginger salad dressing was amazing.“

“One of the nicest restaurant in the Malvern area for Sushi/Asian food. Love the presentation of their food and their outstanding staff that never fails to go above and beyond!Kid-friendliness: Though they don’t have a kids menu they have a wide variety of options and they are very good about accommodating to special requests.“

“Best sushi in town! The chef told us they import all fish from Japan and he was trained in Japan for nearly a decade. Rarely see a sushi chef take making sushi seriously in the area. Hope they will move back to their old but bigger place soon.“

“We were traveling through and hit the jackpot here. Crab Rangoon and Egg roll were very good. But the sushi stole the show! Spicy salmon crunch was very good...the dynamite was exceptional...we all agreed the New Year was our favorite. There were so many other items we wanted to try. Great food. Great friendly service! Thank you!“

“I’d heard about Ronin from a previous manager who would order their sushi and it always looked good. I was in the mood for Ramen and they came up in my search. It was a small shop, nicely decorated. Most people came for take out, there was a couple dining in when I arrived so it was nice and quiet. The food service was quick, everything we ordered was delicious and flavorful. My bf ordered the shrimp and veggie tempura bento box, and a chicken katsu bao special. I ordered the Crazy Boy roll special and Shimp Tom Yum ramen. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.“

“My friend had a craving for Korean food so we tried August Moon. We had a wonderful experience. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. My friend and I shared the vegetable pa chun, soon do boo, and bulgogi. The cook and spice was on point. We left feeling completely stuffed and satisfied.“

“I love Kawa. It’s my favorite sushi restaurant so far and I’ve gone to tons of sushi restaurants in the past and in Japan. The presentation is beautiful, the servings are healthy, and the rice is just ?? delicioso.The servers are so kind and attentive. We love them. Also shoutout to the sushi chefs for being so talented and awesome.We always get their Toro and Uni sushi. Next on the list is hamachi, smoked salmon and tamago. Everything we’ve had was delicious and we’ve never been disappointed with what we end up getting.The only thing that sucks is when my gf and I are craving Kawa and we realize it’s Monday…We also try to limit going there to only once a month but we always break the rule.“

“Everything, from the sushi to the Vietnamese food, is DELICIOUS. I highly recommend the Vietnamese salads, banh mi, and any sushi rolls. ☺️. There’s an AYCE option on Thursday of their Japanese menu. The fish cuts here are way better than what you’d find - even better than fat salmon or bubble fish in Philly’s Chinatown.“

“Loved the aesthetic and delicious sushi! The fish was quality! A lot of sushi places around here can get pretty crazy with what they put on rolls but Miyake has knocked it out of the park with its wonderfully balanced rolls. We didn't partake in the specials but it looks like they frequently change things up so we should always have something fun to try!“

“You're in for a real treat! The plates here are an amazing mix of flavors and textures that cater to everyone's taste buds, from the little ones to the grown-ups! And let me tell you, the attention and service are simply outstanding! You won't be disappointed!“

“This has become our favorite go-to celebration restaurant! The employees are so kind, the food is consistent and delicious, and the drinks are yummy!!! I suggest getting the general tso chicken (a little less spicy - they can personalize everything about your meal), the steamed dumplings, and the jasmine tea. You will not be disappointed.“

“I have been eating at Kabuki for along time. There food is so good, there is no reason to try anywhere else. The chef specialty rolls are bomb! My favorite is the shrimp tempura supreme roll, delicious! The service is always top notch. The employees are respectful and polite. The owner Kenny is a stand up guy and runs a great business.“

“We ordered takeout, so we can’t really speak to the atmosphere. I will agree with other reviewers- excellent selection of sushi rolls and sashimi. Really fresh, very tasty. Prices are very reasonable for the quantity and quality. I also ordered a hot dish which was very, very good- also tasted so fresh. I would definitely come back here and highly recommend this place!“

“This place is so good! We were so hungry and we got our appetizers quickly. This is a wonderful go-to place with a soothing atmosphere and consistently excellent food, whether sushi or from the kitchen.Vegetarian options: Lots of items with veggies and tofu!“

“Great food. Very nice atmosphere. Reasonable prices and everything is super fresh. Something you absolutely want when dining out for sushi. Located in delightful downtime Media on State Street. Perfect for any type of celebration or date night. Enjoy!Vegetarian options: My son and I shared the vegetarian mango/avocado roll, and it was fantastic!“

“Small nitpicks: This restaurant is 100% a blink and you miss it on the road. Parking isn’t great.Despite that, the food is excellent and reasonably priced. They’ve got great desserts and their cocktails are fantastic. I will be back as this may have become my new go-to restaurant for sushi.“

“Just moved into the area and couldn't find a good restaurant with real authentic chinese food until I came across New Leaf. The food is always great and I am never disappointed, price is fair, parking outside & the customer service has always been pleasant. Would recommend this place to anyone who lives around the area looking for real authentic chinese food without having to go into chinatown.“

“Awesome hibachi grill!!! Very friendly and entertaining hibachi chef! Friendly wait staff! Excellent service and food! Clean restaurant! Romantic and fun atmosphere! Clean restrooms. Plenty of parking in a free parking lot. Cool restaurant vibe. Great for friends, family, and date night! We got the hibachi salmon, white tuna, and veggie dishes with fried rice, side salad, and side soup! All fantastic! Well cooked and delicious! The show was amazing! Definitely recommended and would eat there again! The family across from us had two small kids, maybe their children were 7 and 10, they loved it too! It’s BYOB so bring your own alcohol.Vegetarian options: You can get vegetarian hibachi dinner, all vegetables with fried rice is deliciousDietary restrictions: They have dietary options for vegetariansParking: Large free parking lotKid-friendliness: Kids love the hibachi grill show! And they love the fried rice and chickenWheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible“

“One of our favorite places in Bryn Mawr. The food was absolutely spectacular and our server was absolutely delightful. they had something new on the menu and the enthusiasm of our server convinced us to try it and she was absolutely spot on! We also got the Bryn Mawr roll, because we were there to drop our youngest off at Bryn Mawr for freshman year. We ended up ordering two rounds of rolls and man do I wish I had room for more because they were ALL fantastic, but I am still drooling over that Bryn Mawr roll. It's not the most "exciting" but it was just PERFECT. I really can't wait to go visit my kid and go to Sushi Land again!!!“

“The food was amazing, i had the chicken, shrimp and, rice and my my were they all cooked to perfection. The service was amazing, all of the workers were nice and got us what we wanted when we wanted it. the ambiance of the place was a great vibe you could tell that it was just a happy and exciting place. i loved eating here and i would again. my entire party sang karaoke and we all had a ton of fun. this place deserves a definite 5/5. i finished my meal so quickly!“

“Super convenient location with parking. Excellent vegetable tempura the best I've had from a small business. The steamed dumplings were also excellent. I'm used to crispier Gen Tao, but the sauce had a nice kick. Take out or dine in. For take out, I recommend that you order once you arrive because everything stays crispy and fresh if it doesn't sit around. Let's support this small business!Wheelchair accessibility: I don't recall any steps to the entrance. There might be a curb.“

“This was my late mother's favorite restaurant, and also my teenage son's favorite restaurant. I didn't realize that they were going to close this beautiful location, so it was very special that we went there for my son's birthday celebration! They were slammed because of all the people who were trying to get one last amazing meal before they close on March 19, 2024, but the food remained absolutely amazing, flavorful, and beautifully presented! “

“This place is top notch Asian food! We live twenty minutes to half an hour away, and find this restaurant worth the drive! Food, ambiance, and service are TOP NOTCH! Everything on the menu is delicious, and prepared to perfection! Cocktails are delicious! Mark, Michelle, and all the staff are amazing! Keep up the great job!“
