We did the chef’s choice tasting menu at Double Knot and it was incredible. Every dish was delicious, beautifully prepared, and there was so much food — definitely come hungry! I highly recommend the tasting experience if you want to try a wide variety of flavors.
The atmosphere was great, though it is quite dark inside, which made it a little tough at times, but overall it added to the vibe. Service was excellent and the whole experience felt special.

Every item on the tasting menu was top notch and we were quite full at the end. the scallops with truffle aoli are a memorable bite and the filet mignon was extremely tender. This is a $120 experience per person if you include cocktails but well worth it and excellent atmosphere in the basement sushi bar

We had an amazing experience at Double Knot. This was our second time dining here, and once again, it did not disappoint.
From the moment we walked in, every staff member greeted us. People held the doors, welcomed us in, and made us feel like valued guests both coming and going. That level of attentiveness is rare and truly appreciated.
Hazel, our server, was knowledgeable, warm, and guided us through the meal with confidence and care. We opted for the Chef’s Selection menu along with oysters, and everything we were served was perfectly executed. Each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. It was clear the kitchen takes pride in every plate.
The only small hiccup we had was with our water. Our glasses had some floaties in them, possibly from a drying cloth, but the staff handled it immediately. They brought a fresh bottle and replaced everything with no hesitation and great professionalism.
The lighting is definitely dim, which creates a cozy, intimate vibe. It didn’t bother us, but for those who prefer brighter settings, it’s something to be aware of. The tables are also fairly close together, so just know it’s a more communal-style space, not super private.
Overall, the food, service, and ambiance were outstanding, and we absolutely plan to return. This is one of our go-to spots when we want an elevated dining experience in Philly.

I loved everything about this place. The food was super good, we did the tasting menu and you get to pick 10 items from each category. The staff was super friendly and professional In the food came out quick. It’s got a nice ambience, dimly lit perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic date night. We had lychee cocktails, tuna tartare, spicy baked scallop and crab, Japanese fried chicken, pork tonkotsu, nabemono, Black cod fried rice, branzino and ribeye skewers, Toro scallion hand roll, yellowtail sashimi, and for dessert, there was mochi! I always worry I will still be hungry after tasting meals, but the portions were good and I was full by the end.

I’ve been to double knot too many times to count but it’s honestly top 10 in my opinion. It’s consistent, good quality, and beautiful. These pictures were on two different occasions dinner and happy hour. Staff is always kind and I like that the managers sometimes walk around and ask how the food is. I love it here though my favorite!

The food was excellent; the foie gras sushi was my absolute favorite, rich and flavorful. Our server Madison provided outstanding service and made us feel truly welcomed. The manager on duty was very attentive and genuinely cared about our dining experience, which added a personal touch. Although there was a minor hiccup during the meal, the manager handled it with great professionalism and made sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Overall okay experience but there was a HUGE cockroach on the menu. I only noticed it when I pulled out my phone flashlight to place my order. They eventually moved us from the back as my friend confirmed she also saw the huge bug. They moved us to another table in the front with better lighting. Our bill came to $140 for happy hour and I felt like our bar drinks got added to the bill even though we paid at the bar. That was probably my LAST time going into double knot, I get it’s the city but a cockroach being on a menu is insane. Also, the owner or maybe manager offered to comp the drinks we had when that all happened (nothing got comped) between lack of Accomadations and the bug, I felt it was fair to share my experience.
Overall great experience and beautiful atmosphere ( loved the playlist) however I was very thrown off by the cleanliness and attention to removing empty dishes from the table. The food kept coming and there’s was no room on the table and inconsistent to creating room which I found strange for the theme of the restaurant and chef special.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. I was seated pretty quickly at happy hour though it was busy- the hostess was incredibly polite and well organized. My waitress Briana was phenomenal at explaining the menu items and how to order everything. She was extremely attentive without being overbearing or making me feel pressured on time. Food arrived very quickly after ordering and was very fresh and well flavored. I also got a cocktail off the happy hour menu which was extremely well balanced. Highly recommend this restaurant- I wish I lived close enough to go here every week!

Double Knot absolutely blew me away. From the moment we walked in, the ambience set the perfect tone — intimate, stylish, and full of character. The yellowtail sushi was some of the best I’ve ever had — fresh, creative, and bursting with flavor. Every small plate we tried was a hit; it felt like eating a warm hug in every bite.
Our server, Zoey, took amazing care of us — attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming. And Javon was incredible. You can just tell he takes real pride in the restaurant he’s representing, and it shows in everything from the service to the atmosphere.
Double Knot is a gem. I can’t wait to come back!!

- Service: Fast and friendly. They are very knowledgeable about their menu and their food.
- Ambiance: Very nice ambiance but it's very dark. It makes me feel like I'm in Diagon Alley in Harry Potter.
- Food: There're two prices for tasting menu- $69 & $79. $79 offers more quality of meat and cut (?) if I remember what our waitress said right. However, we just went for a la carte since we had a late lunch.
- For robatayaki: We got ribeye scallions and scallops. The ribeye is so tender! Nice charcoal grill taste added to it, and I didn't know scallions could be paired so nice with beef. Scallops are sweet and slightly salty which is perfect.
- Specialty sashimi: We got Toro and Yellowtail. I love the Toro more, somehow it's thicker and the soy sauce with wasabi going so nice together. Yellowtail dish was overpowered by the yuzu and citrus sauce. The selections of special sashimi are pretty decent and very refreshing.
- The other dishes we ordered were just alright, they didn't impress at all.
- Overall, $175 included tax and tips for this whole meal but still left me a bit hungry, so I would say this restaurant definitely lean into more expensive side. We were also excited for the miso soft-served ice cream but unfortunately, they were out of it, which is weird for a Friday night. Easy to make reservations. Hard to find parking. I would recommend it for people who want to experience new and nice restaurants in Philly. For me myself, I think it's a nice experience but not impressive enough to come back soon.
