“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“Awesome menu, great vibes and really tasty food. Must try this place.“

“Wonderful time at Sakana this weekend! Their sushi is unparalleled in Philly and the service is impeccable.“

“An easy 5 stars! Every bite of our omakase dinner was delicious. Very fresh fish! Service was attentive and it was spectacular getting to watch the chef work his magic up close. The ambiance was pleasant. I also appreciated that they accommodated my husband and I as pescatarians.

“Great service and very delicious sushi.“

“I had the Tomo roll. Best roll I ever had. Great combination of flavors.“

“Amazing food. Kevin Yanaga’s talents are evident by the varied and novel menu. Phenomenal.“

“On a whim we ate at Koto Sushi for the first time and I can't wait to go back. Prices are more than reasonable and the food is solidly tasty. (their tempura batter is so light and fluffy. nice and crisp!) The true highlight of this place is how kind the staff is. Our server was perfect- attentive and friendly. Chef J.J stopped by the table to introduced himself. Also extremely kind! I'm excited to make this a regular stop of mine.“

“The best ramen and the best sushi in Philadelphia! Delicious 😋 my favorite place in Fishtown“

“One of my favorite omakase spots in Philly!
My favorite from my course was Gindara(miso cod) with pumpkin sauce which tasted like Japanese pumpkin and they matched so well, also the akami (tuna red meat) tasted super fresh! Every other fish were fresh and loved the way they prepared everything! Chefs were also very nice and fun to chat with!“

“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“

“Ordered off Uber eats wanted to try something new . 10/10 !!!
I got the spicy garlic ramen
Also shrimp tempura sushi
Along with the fried squid … you guys made my night . Thank you so much for making my first time eating at your restaurant a great one .“

“Delicious! My husband and I just had some of the most amazing sushi we've ever tasted. The edamame was perfectly cooked, the miso soup was flavorful with tender seaweed, and the wasabi was real wasabi“

“A great place to take friends. Never disappointed!“

“The staff was absolutely lovely from the hostess to the server. The atmosphere was intimate, the decor throughout was very cool. The menu is very fairly priced and the food was incredible. I brought a friend here last night that was visiting from out of town, she can be a hard critic but she left happy. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! I will be back!“

“Always love this place. I try to visit every time I’m in Philly.“

“Cute place. It's pretty small. I didn't dine in but it seems like an intimate dining spot. There's good variety on the menu. Lunch special seems great but did not get to try. Got the mixed assortment which comes with a California roll, tuna roll, and salmon roll for $21. It's good price for downtown Philly. Sushi lacked a bit of flavor tho, but prices not bad.“

“Tuna Bar is one of my favorite restaurants! Especially love that cocktail with the gin wasabi & cucumber 🍸😍🍣“

“High quality fish arranged in to-go boxes for a fair price. At $27, I got 3 rolls, 6 pieces of sushi, an avocado,fish,rice salad, and edamame. 3 rolls at this quality is typically around $20 alone so I’m not sure what the bad reviews about price and quality are. Funny enough, this is actually the best quality sushi you will find in UCity, and it’s takeout.“

“Had what may have been the best Japanese dining experience I’ve ever had! Also my first Omakase experience - just to put it in perspective. Beautiful setting, though the tables are definitely cozy, and lighting is dim (if you’re middle age, bring those readers - I forgot mine!). Anyhow, I didn’t need the readers because someone at my table suggested we do the omakase and it was wonderful! I can’t tell you what I liked best - most dishes melted in my mouth, it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for a great dinner.“

“Great atmosphere, service and food.“

“This spot is a gem! The sushi is fresh and flavorful, paired perfectly with their expertly crafted cocktails. The tropical chic ambiance creates a vibrant yet relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a great meal. Highly recommend! Rose and Yamilet took great care of my hubby and me!“

“Loved the special dish that I got. It was so flavorful. If you want your food spicy, you should go a bit higher as they are lighter on it -- which I understand. Next time I'll get thai spicy. The Thai tea is a must! Oh so good. Great staff and lovely atmosphere will go again!

Vegetarian options: Tofu“

“Got sushi which was alright and the wagyu beef yaki udon and chicken yaki udon. The wagyu beef yaki udon was really good, I wish there were more pieces, the chicken was plentiful but I personally didn’t like it was much as the beef. The udon itself was bomb in both the dishes.“

“excellent service! amazing food“

“My favorite sushi place in Philadelphia! Small, cozy, friendly service and DELICIOUS FOOD!!!

I’ve been ordering delivery and pick-ups for 4 years! However, I love to dine in! The place is intimate and welcoming due to the great atmosphere and friendly hosts!

The quality is incredibly consistent! I have never been disappointed with a single order!

The regular rolls are prepared with the same care as the special rolls! Even their miso soup is way beyond the normal miso soup experience!

You can bring your own alcoholic beverage or just enjoy their fresh tea, which they never let go empty (again, very attentive and friendly hosts!)

I highly suggest Kei Sushi if you are into Japanese cuisine and are looking for a classic and delicious experience!“

“Great tasty eclectic Japanese food“

“The Omakase is a must! So is the black cod 🤌🏾“

“This is such a lovely nice spot! My wife and I would order from them all of the time! The fish is always nice and fresh. My wife is Japanese and even she always found their sushi tasty! The owners are also always incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!“

“Best sushi in Philly. Super fresh fish. Very reasonably priced for what they give you. And they are pros at packaging for takeout.“

“Love the sushi and all food they have.“

“Best sushi in all of Philly! I eat here every time I come to visit my sister!“

“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 really enjoyed the sushi at this restaurant. Even though we visited late at night, the food was impressively fresh and delicious. I ordered the eel avocado, dragon roll, and shrimp tempura roll, and each one was absolutely tasty.

The service was excellent as well—the waiter and waitress were both incredibly nice and respectful. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I’d definitely recommend it!“

“We went for Valentine's Day since we were in town for the championship parade. We had a wonderful experience. Ambiance was great, food was delicious, and the prices were a good value. We look forward to going again when we're back in Philly.“

“The Lunch bentos are one of the best lunch deals in Philly!“

“think of sushi in a bowl concept _ healthy portions of fish or chicken accompanied by greens and veggies“

“Everything is so good! Fresh Sushi! New Batches of sushi rice everyday, love the people who work there. Friendly environment! Very Generous! Amazing Service! The only sushi spot, I enjoy eating at. Please come out and check it out yourself! Will not disappoint. Deserve a 5.0 star! ⭐️“

“Four words: I love this place! I eat lunch here all the time. The food is delicious at a great value. The staff are always pleasant and friendly. Highly recommend the chicken teriyaki! ???

“My daughter and I got dumplings and rice. The place is clean and the drinks are very decently priced. Not a lot of options for drinks, but that's okay. It's clean and my daughter actually prefers the drink she gets here over kungfu tea“

“Was looking for an eel bowl, and found a spot that serves it based on other reviewers photos. They gave me two layers of eel, and it was great. I also had shrimp on the side. I'd go back again.

My only complaint is maybe they need to use table covers, or buff and resurface the tables as it has a sticky texture to it. I wished the exterior of the building was not your average Philly building, but more like a restaurant. Without the Mr.Sushi sign, I would not know it was there. The sign does look new and vibrant though, and caught my eye from down the street.“

“When you first enter this restaurant, you may be taken aback because it’s so lowkey. There are only two tables and a very small guest area in general. But the food is actually quite decent. I enjoyed the pancake and sushi we ordered here. I’d definitely get the eel cake sushi again.“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“This was my first there the food was great .Fast serving an very nice an clean.I think I be back again 🥢😋“

“We came on a whim, and were blown away by the sushi. The miso butter cod and the eel signature rolls in particular were excellent, but everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. Will be back next time we’re in town.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian portion of the menu is comparatively small, but the options look tasty“

“Food was FRESH & delicious. Service was great & fast. MAJOR disappointment was the limited beverages. Only options were soda🥤plain jane water 💦 or hot green 💚 tea ☕. No juice. No iced tea. No lemonade. No mocktails. No wine 🍷 no martinis. Really. So I drank plain Schuylkill River water. 😢 Sad face“

“Got lunch to go. Food was affordable and ready on time after I ordered online. The inside was small but cute but there was kind of a weird smell (not just normal sushi/fish, maybe the cleaner they used?) so I was glad my food was takeout. It's near where I was staying and would def order there again.“

“One of the best Sushi restaurants around. I worked with the Owner 18 years ago and when he left being a sushi chef where I was Bartender to open his own restaurant, that was the best decision he could have made! Show your support and go have dinner there! Everything on the menu is amazing!!!“

“Fantastic sushi made with great care. Very fresh fish and great rice. Affordable price. I especially enjoyed the house salad, which contained fresh local fruit that complemented the salad perfectly. Great choice for enjoying in the beautiful outside dining space adjacent.“
