I frequent Double Knot for both Happy hour and dinner. The happy hour food and drink specials can't be beat. The service has always been great for me as well. I have found it as a great place for a date night but also to bring out of town friends to show them a good evening!

We did the tasting menu for two and I would say half the dishes we selected were good, but the other half were either exceptionally small or nothing special for the price tag. The waiting time for the dishes was also a bit long. I did like the robatayaki dishes though.

The chefs tasting was chefs kiss. So worth the money. Wagyu Bavette was excellent especially with the sweet potato. The service was amazing with the recommendations. Loved the experience. And ambiance was great

We had an amazing time at Double Knot tonight! The atmosphere and food were incredible as always, but what really stood out was the service. Our server (I believe her name was Millie) was absolutely wonderful. She was attentive, friendly, and timed everything perfectly. We will definitely be back soon—hopefully in her section! Also Double Knot has one of the best happy hours in the city check it out!

We only planned to stop in for a drink and a small bite, but the plates were so delicious we ended up canceling our reservation elsewhere! Paired with great ambiance and the kindest staff, it made for such a memorable experience. Truly one of the best restaurants we’d been to in a long time!

my girlfriend and I came on a Friday night night without a reservation. We were seated within 20 mins. Everything was delicious and our waitress Breonna was so courteous!! The food and staff were so perfect!

I took my 9 year old son, who loves sushi. He got 3 of his favorite rolls (California, shrimp tempura, and yellowtail scallion), and I asked the waiter for his recommendations for 6 smaller dishes for myself.
The rolls came out incredible, it’s hard to do anything different with standard rolls, but the quality and freshness of ingredients makes all the difference.
The dishes I got included the Wagyu beef soup dumplings, the edamame dumplings, a small dish with scallops, the spicy crab and scallop dish, the ribeye skewers, and the octopus carpaccio.
As much as I as my son loves his rolls, he’s an adventurous eater and sampled all of my food and told me this was absolutely his favorite restaurant in the city and the best sushi he’s ever had. High praise from a 9 year old, I know, but I think I agree with him. What do I think? Yeah, you pay a premium, but I’m hard pressed to identify a similar restaurant with such good food and a unique spin. Value is a very personal thing, and to me the value is definitely there.
Nice ambiance, downstairs is quiet with nice background music, shoutout to Zach for the great suggestions and excellent service, and I will definitely find myself coming back.

We came to Double Knot for our 5 year anniversary after having multiple people recommend it to us, and we did not leave disappointed. The atmosphere was so warm feeling I loved the underground sort of feel, though I wish there was a smidge more space between tables as we felt a little cramped. We had actually gone to Sampan last year and did the chefs tasting menu, so decided to do the same at Double Knot. You get 10 dishes. We chose the Tuna Tartare for our cold, not my personal favorite but still very good. Wagyu soup dumplings for our small which similar to Sampan their dumplings are delicious. We actually got 3 robatayaki because of an accidental miscommunication so we got the Tokyo scallion, lamb chops, and salmon scallops which we agreed was our favorite thing as it was full of flavor and melted in your mouth. For the crispy we got the Japanese Fried Chicken which was my second favorite it was so crispy and had some tangy flavor to it, it paired very well with the aioli it came with. We did pork tonkatsu for the meat, and you can't go wrong with a good pork tonkatsu. For the fish we did the Japanese Scallop, and as someone that typically doesn't love scallops they were very good. Our side was the shrimp udon mazeman, which my partner really loved, they kept saying how delicious it was. We got the yellow tail sashimi which the orange and the Serrano pepper it comes with really paired well together. For our sushi we went with the Double Knot Big Eye tuna, which may have been the best sushi I've ever had. Our meal finished with our dessert a miso and caramel ice cream which was such a delicious blend of sweet and savory.
Another absolutely wonderful dinner from Schulson collective, with a great atmosphere, excellent friendly service, and delicious food. I personally prefer Sampan just a smidge above Double Knot, but still very much enjoyed Double Knot.

Amazing experience. Did the chefs tasting menu, and every course was a hit! Loved the sea bass, the wagyu & ribeye skewers, truffle fried rice, and the scallop/ crab bake.
Definitely go to spot in Philly, just make reservations in advance!
This spot is a must for happy hour - their menu is fantastic. Everything I tried was delicious and the prices were unbeatable. I ordered the Kim chee fried rice, the salmon scallion robatayaki, the Japanese fried chicken, and the shrimp tempura roll. Every dish was flavorful, and the smaller portions made it easy to sample multiple items. I shared two dishes with a friend, and she also ordered two additional happy hour plates for herself. We left feeling full but not overly stuffed - the perfect balance - and all at a great price.
The only downside was that the bar seating felt a bit tight during happy hour, but considering how packed it was for a Tuesday, it’s easy to see why.

The omakase is such a cool experience! The basement is a unique environment and the food is great.

Food was excellent. Anything on the robatayaki menu was fantastic. Sushi was so fresh. Ambience was incredible but I had to agree with other comments that it’s too crowded and loud. We were awfully close to the tables next to us and kept over hearing the tables on either side of us.

I’ve been coming here for at least 8 years now and I love everything about this place. I’m not sure what’s the host’s problem honestly, this is the first person you see, they shouldn’t have an attitude like this lady. Also I can tell she was being weird because of the way I was dressed (sweats). Expected better from literally my favorite place in the city honestly
