The food here is fresh, and the atmosphere is quiet and quaint. There is a room. For large parties. The menu is extensive, not just serving sushi but other fare as well. Nice place to just sit back and enjoy japanese food. A+

I discovered here that my favorite Sushi in Philly was not my favorite. I am shocked, Sushi I had here was otherworldly!

This place is a hidden gem and I selfishly wanted to keep it that way but…We’ve tried the AYCE sushi that they have just started offering. I’m from Japan and I know my sushi. The quality/fressness and presentation were on point. That was the best AYCE sushi I had in US. This place is very small but you’ll get the best customer service as well. Don’t miss it out.

Visiting from out of town. Those place had great reviews for the food quality. Decided to give it a try on Valentines night. Food was phenomenal. They were short staffed and the wait time for seating and food was hardly bearable. Luckily our waitress understood our frustration and spoke to the manager. If you decide on this option just make sure you don't have plans for after. Last stop of the day and go atleast 2 hours before they close.

The lady at the front denied us entry to sit at 9:30pm, update your time on Google!

Booked a private karaoke room for a holiday party. Everyone had an amazing time! Planning, food, karaoke, and service were all commendable.Working with Shirley and her team to plan the event was a breeze. Pricing was extremely fair, and well worth the money spent. We will be coming back for events in the future.Food left everyone extremely satisfied, no matter their dietary preferences. Sushi, cooked fare, vegetarian/vegan options were enjoyed all around.Karaoke system was really impressive. Touch screen interface, deep catalogue of songs (with accompanying music videos), and projectors displaying on every wall of the private room.

Ordered takeout. Subpar quality. Very disappointed. Presentation is great. Meat is stringy, seaweed wrap is hard to chew, not a ton of flavor, sauces look unappetizing (and taste off).

This place had a nice ambience and good food. The initial order took longer, but everything else came out quicker than expected. The salmon was well prepared and they had multiple vegetarian rolls. The staff was attentive and polite.Vegetarian options: We enjoyed the vegetarian rolls.Kid-friendliness: They did well with my 11 year old and she loved her meal.

Stopped here as it is close to hotel. Inside has nice jazz music playing and is well lit. It is in a location you really don't notice but it is nice. For appetizers I got miso and edamame. The soup smells amazing. Mm.. smooth and very tasty it has mushrooms, green onions and tofu. WowStaff came up immediately and sat me. Sushi came looking amazing. Great presentation. Omg!! Amazing sushi. I had escolar and salmon! Wow! Melted in my mouth so fresh. Cuts are just right and correct amount of rice. Wasabi just falls apart and is so smooth There is a happy hour sushi special here so you need to check it out. I thought it was different that the restroom is downstairs, cool idea.I am impressed and will return while I am still here in the city.Night 2. Right!! When do I ever go to the same place two nights in a row. IT IS RHAT GOOD!!! Had to come back. This time trying the stripe bass. Have to say I really like this place. Sushi is so fresh. I wish I lived near Philly I would stop here as often as I could.Also had to try the ice cream tonight. The one Fe cream looks amazing, great presentation!!

Came with a big group and they were able to accommodate us in the big private room that also doubles as a karaoke room with 360 projectors! Our server was extremely understanding as half of the group was late. Sushi was yummy, would recommend the specials for

I wish that I could give 4 1/2 stars... But, it's that good... If going to a show, this place is a 2 minute walk to the theater... Fill your belly with some excellent tasting food. We have to change things a little, and they do their best to accommodate. We will definitely be back...
