“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”

“If you’re debating on what omakase in the city to try look no further. This experience was everything and more. The food, the ambiance and the service between our Chef Jeff and server Tina was incredible. The Chef was so personable with our questions, meticulous in his technique, Tina always made sure we had clean plates and filled drinks and was truly a delight. The 18 courses of food was so delicious, afterward it was hard to pick a favorite because everything was so tasty and decadent. Will recommend and will definitely be back!:)”

“I enjoyed this place quite a bit. I've been to a few omakase spots in Philly and this holds its own. I went for dinner and did BYOB, I brought some sake and they chilled it even while my timeslot waited to be seated. They have a nice sake cup and put it in a carafe too which was a good touch. Everything felt like on par quality for the area and I liked that we could reorder pieces we liked or from another menu that included wagyu. Note they do precut their fish but I cant say i personally care about that. The pieces did feel a tad small sometimes but again this is at a budget omakase price point so its fine. The service was attentive. After tax and tip it ended up being around 89$ for one person.”

“Mari Mari has become a favorite spot for me and my friends. The food is consistently excellent, with standout dishes like the Bacon Cream Udon that are both flavorful and satisfying. The service is prompt and friendly, making the overall experience pleasant. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, perfect for a relaxed dinner. While the price per person falls within the $10–20 range, it's worth every penny for the quality of the food. However, I should note that finding parking can be a bit of a challenge, as the area has limited street parking options. Despite this, the overall experience is worth the effort.”

“Went for happy hour tonight and it was great! From the HH menu we ordered crispy rice, pickles, and the goth cocktail- all were so good! The pickled veggies were crisp with a perfect level of spice. We also added on the tiger shrimp sandwich and featured roll from the specials menu. The shrimp sandwich was a take on a lobster roll and fantastic. My 7 year old ordered an avocado roll and a side of rice and the servers couldn’t have been nicer. He was offered training chopsticks and every server interacted with him. We finished with the matcha donuts and Fuji apple crisp. Both were great desserts without being overly sweet. We will definitely be back!”

“Really enjoyed everything we ordered! We tried the regular tonkatsu, cheese tonkatsu, and soba, and they were all so good. The cheese tonkatsu was probably my favorite, the cheese was super flavorful and went really well with the crispy pork. I also really liked the soba. It was light and refreshing, which was perfect to have with the tonkatsu since it balanced out the fried food really nicely. We tried the different sauces too, and I personally liked the Japanese sauce the best! Everything tasted fresh, the portions were good, and overall it was a really satisfying meal. Would definitely come back and try more things next time!”

So many great meals here over the years. Miss when it has multiple locations. If you're ever in UCity and haven't been yet, it's definitely worth a visit!”

Rolls were as they should be, and the pieces actually seemed bigger than the standard. Prices were fair. I would go back next time I visit the area.”

I came the day it opened and was not impressed by the selection of vegetarian options so had not returned. I just went today and was blown away by the Ube special roll and many others they have now. Also the service was great! Gave me a free vegan roll he was working on. Just delightful.”

Remember the "ramen wars" a few years back? Well, we might have a winner. Jinya Ramen Bar is slurping up success, becoming the second-fastest growing full-service Asian restaurant in the U.S. In 2023, this Tokyo-born (and Los Angeles-based) chain grew by 30.2%, second only to KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot. It's the only ramen joint to make it into the Technomic Top 500 restaurants list. What's their secret? Founder Tomo Takahashi reveals.
Rock N Roll Sushi, the restaurant chain known for its fun, rockin' American-style sushi experience, is kicking off 2024 with some big moves.

The conveyor belt sushi chain Kura Revolving Sushi Bar has huge growth plans for 2024.
