Royal Sushi & Izakaya is a hidden gem with exceptional sushi quality that makes up for its unassuming exterior. This popular spot is a must-visit in Philly, known for its great presentation of dishes like salmon and spicy tuna rolls, okonomiyaki, and pork shoulder. The service is excellent, with attentive waitstaff that ensure meals arrive in a reasonable time. The ambiance is amazing, though it is noted to be quite dark, which prompts many guests to use their phone flashlights to read the menu.
It is wise to put your name down early, as there is often a wait of an hour or more, especially on weekends. However, once seated, the experience is well worth it. Guests recommend sharing as many small plates as possible and then ordering individual sushi platters for a more enjoyable meal. The atmosphere is lively, with drinks like sake that have been known to get the whole group laughing. Though some customers wish for a reservation system to avoid long waits, the amazing food and drinks make it a delightful evening out. Everyone leaves feeling satisfied and happy, ready to return.
