Last night, my dining experience was extremely disappointing, and I will not be returning. The shishito peppers were deep-fried, which ruined their taste. The fried chicken rice had corn in it and lacked flavor. The sushi was very mediocre, missing something essential. The only decent item was the veggie spring rolls.

However, there was confusion when they brought out “veggie gyoza” instead of my rolls. The staff acted as if they could interpret my order; I had said “veggie rolls,” but I literally had to ask for the menu to clarify what I was referring to.

Additionally, I discovered their unadvertised policy regarding takeout during happy hour: you are allowed only ONE takeout container. The excuse given was that happy hour is intended for dine-in only. I sat down, ordered food, and spent a minimum of 45 minutes eating—surely that qualifies as dining in? Once I received my takeout container, I left it behind. I don’t appreciate having to take food home just to “doctor it up.”

When I asked to speak with a manager, I was informed that the person was not present and was asked to leave my name and number. At that point, it was clear they didn’t care; the manager could have easily been in the establishment.

I also felt misled by their happy hour advertisement, which claims $5 for food, yet everything starts at $6.50. To top it off, both my party and I ended up with upset stomachs and spent the morning feeling sick. I recommend proceeding with caution at this establishment.

Love this place.

We went for happy hour on Saturday 1pm-3pm $6.50 for all the food on the happy hour menu and $8 cocktails. The lotus blossom drink was so good it’s a lychee martini. But will sell out fast . The sushi was big and fresh! The wings was so good and crispy. Cute vibe . Solo date friendly. Small place . Good customer service. Good for date or girls day out

I visited QU Japan Bar and Bistro on a Saturday night. The restaurant is conveniently located in downtown Philadelphia, and surprisingly, it wasn’t crowded, which made for a calm atmosphere. The service was quick and efficient, so no complaints there.

However, the food was a letdown. I ordered the Seafood Thai Curry, which was described on the menu as including assorted seafood, bell pepper, asparagus, string bean, onion, basil and cauliflower. Unfortunately, what I received was mostly onions, with just three mussels and four tiny clams. There were no shrimp or any other seafood, as advertised, which was disappointing given the expectation from the description. I brought this to the waiter’s attention who only said that the dish had assorted seafood. Overall, the food did not live up to the menu’s promise. I

Went for a quick lunch with a friend and didn't disappoint. Busy but still attentive service. The food was great and came out quickly. Enjoyed the fried rice lunch special and the 2 roll special. Can't beat it.

Atmosphere @ happy hour was quiet, maybe because it was Monday.
I enjoyed conversation with someone who happened to have been there before I came.
I ordered the vegetable egg roll ... it's portion was small but tasty!?

Spicy Edamame $6.50 good but a bit salty; check-in on Yelp for free

Money Bag - just taste like a dumpling. Nothing special. Would skip

Crispy Spicy $14 came with three pieces of crispy tempura rice topped with tuna, tobiko, and scallion

White & Black roll $16 thought I would like the seared black pepper tuna on top but I didn't enjoy it as much

Hotter than Summer $17 roll was overpowered by the cucumber. Would skip this next time

The Real Deal $25 was a crowd favorite. We’ve ordered this twice now and enjoyed it both times

Toro Scallion was good. A simple clean roll. Would get again
