50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Upper Darby

“Wednesday I came up the escalator to find that there is a buy 2 get 1 free sushi special on Wednesdays! I haven’t gotten sushi here in quite some time, but am soooo happy I did. Shrimp Tempura, Yellowtail Scallion, and Salmon rolls for $18?? And it was extremely fresh, I can’t emphasize the quality of this sushi for the price. I feel like the shrimp tempura could have been cut in larger pieces to avoid them falling apart as much but hey it’s all going in my tummy anyway.

*I ate a couple pieces before I took the picture it looked so good I couldn’t wait
*I promise you the amount of tuna and yellowtail used is not being done justice in the picture! Definitely a solid quantity of fish in the rolls.
*The people at the counter were lovely 💖

“Food is great, staff is very friendly & accommodating. Lunch specials are a solid value. Delivery is crazy fast & fee is only $2 despite everywhere else in the area charging $4+. Spicy Wontons in Garlic Sauce appetizer is a great deal, big portion for under $8!

Online ordering can be finnicky if ordering Lunch specials though, the site's clock seems to think it's an hour later than it actually is so you can't submit an order containing lunch specials after 2pm despite them being available until 3pm. You get an error telling you it's after 3pm & that you have to change your order, however calling to order them was no issue.“

“This is the current highest quality Chinese food in at least 50 miles. The food is always fresh and never taste or smells old. They use fresh ingredients. I've ordered from other places and got old rotted meat, but Sakura Teriyaki is always fresh. They have big juicy whole shrimps instead of the processed frozen shrimps. You can really taste the difference in quality when ordering food here. It's always fresh and delicious.I'm knocking down one star because they didn't give chop sticks or spicy mustard with our order. Also, when did places stop giving complimentary egg rolls? Also, if you order egg rolls without specifying a meat, they'll just give you basic vegetable egg rolls without asking any questions. The person taking the order should make more of an effort to make sure you're getting what you want instead of just putting in an order by checking off boxes. Other than that, this is the ONLY place where I will go to get Chinese food because it's the best Chinese food.“

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

“I had been eyeing on this mari mari restaurant awhile, finally had a time to try them out omg the inari was so good, the tonkotsu ramen was delicious but I maybe I’m alittle confused about small portions protein of the meat but the dishes was good and satisfying might go here with a friends next time ☺️“

“Love this BYOB spot in South Philly. Quality food, service and very reasonable cost. Although I’ve moved out of the area I regularly take the drive to patronize this spot even over the local and more “upscale” venues in my area. 5 Stars all around!“

“Come to Ninja Bao!

I was waiting for a train and needed something to settle my stomach, I had the Tonkatsu ramen to my surprise was reasonably priced for 14$ had a soda and the staff/owners just kept giving me free complimentary food!

They gave me a cheesesteak Bao Bun and Scallion pancake!

This little gem reminds me of a small ramen shop salarymen would frequent after a hard day of work in Japan before the last train back home.

It’s a must visit and a staple shop in the suburban station and deserves praise!“

“"Kumanon 3 is awesome! food was very good & great service! Can't wait to be back"! Bubble Tea Mango Delicious“

“Great quality and amazing customer service. Definitely our go-to sushi spot. We used to live around the corner from it and now we are further and still make the trip to eat here. The place is small and intimate, and the staff are very attentive. For example, I spilled my soy sauce bowl on the table and I hadn’t even picked up the napkin to clean it up when the staff had already placed more napkins on the table.“

“Toyosu offers attractive, delicious sushi, sashimi, and poke, with a focus on take-out customers—if you opt to eat at one of the few tables available, you will still receive and consume your food in plastic containers. However, you probably won’t mind because you’ll be too busy devouring crisply presented morsels of fish, prepared by aces with big-league experience.“

“My sons and I had the best experience. It was our first time the food was outstanding. The service was incredible. We decided it's going to be our new go to place - we highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar if you're small group. Can't wait to go again!“

“Very good“

“My son and I just moved to the area about a month ago, and we stumbled upon FUKI — it’s quickly become our new favorite spot! My son loves ramen, and they always make it plain just the way he likes it. I usually get the salmon teriyaki, which is served beautifully seared with teriyaki sauce over onions and peppers, alongside rice — absolutely delicious. We’ve also tried the crab fried rice, and everything has been fresh, hot, and flavorful every time.

The service is quick, the staff are friendly, and the restaurant is extremely clean. We always enjoy our visits and truly wish them the best of luck. Highly recommend!“

“I got the Chicken Bento Box and let me tell you: this food was out of this world. I cannot express enough how amazing the food was: the chicken was juicy, full of flavor, and tender while the bento box had amazing side dishes that complimented each other pretty well. The food is also relatively cheap and they have a wide selection of different dishes, desert, etc. They were also really quick with the food and provided great customer service. I would definitely go again.“

“Excellent food at reasonable price, good service, cozy and so close to home!“

“Just moved to the area, this was our first time here. The sushi was good and crab rangoons were so crispy! It’s been a while since I’ve had good crab rangoons anywhere in Philly. All the dishes we saw served, along with our own, were colorful and creatively decorated. Our service was fast and all the staff were attentive and kind. Would definitely recommend for dining in or take out!“

“อร่อยทุกอย่างเลยค่ะ ชอบสลัดอร่อย บริการเร็ว พนักงานบริการดี อาหารอร่อย 🫶🏻🥓🥢🥙“

“My daughter said that she was looking to have sushi for lunch today, so we decided to give Herosame in Ardmore a try. Wow, this is one of the best sushi meals we've had in the Philly area and definitely on the Main Line. I called in our takeout order and the server who took our order was very friendly and polite as was the server who brought us our order while we waited in the vestibule. We ordered the Lunch Shrimp Teriyaki Bento Box and the Lunch Triple Roll Combo. Wow! I thought they had accidentally give us another person's order as the bags were quite heavy. Both lunch specials could easily be split over two meals or at least a meal and a leftovers snack. The Lunch Shrimp Teriyaki Bento Box included a small house salad, a pint of Miso Soup, 2 Shumai, a California Roll, 6 large Teriyaki Shrimp and a pint of steamed white rice. The salad was a crisp and refreshing spring mix with thinly shredded carrots and a halved grape tomato with a delicious dressing. The Miso soup was very rich and tasty. The Shumai were delicious with a nice crisp exterior, but soft, tender and enjoyable meat inside. The California Roll was huge and stuffed with super fresh crab stick and vegetables topped off with tobiko. The Teriyaki Shrimp were just a hair overcooked, but still delicious. The Three Roll Lunch Combo featured a choice of three rolls from a list of twenty different rolls so my daughter picked the Shrimp Avocado Roll, Tempura Roll and Philly Roll. All three rolls, just like my Bento Box's California Roll were huge with the Shrimp Tempura Rolls being gigantic. One piece of the tempura roll was at least twice the size of other sushi rolls I've had. Each roll was stuffed with the traditional meats and veggie fillings. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Herosame will definitely be on our family's list for future Japanese lunches and dinners!“

“Great food , must have the tea cold tea .“

“Went to Uni Sushi Last Week, food comes out fast and the taste is perfectly good. My child also like to eat there.“

“It was clean the waitress was nice and the food was soooo good“

“Their Karoke Room was Amazing! Definitely booking for our next Private Event. My family are huge fans of Sushi and the selection at Samurai certainly didn't disappoint. I'm a fan of the Tuna Lover. I can't wait to return!“

“the food and service was amazing! My partner and I went there during a busy weekend and we were still able to eat indoors. The restaurant does seem to be mainly a take out spot to the locals but the dinning service was great. the rolls were so good and fresh!
We will definitely come back when we're in the area.“

“We’ve been coming here for almost a year and it’s 100% the best sushi in the area. Everything we’ve tried on the menu is worth getting again. Highly recommend the chicken katsu in addition to all the delicious and fresh rolls. Attentive service and the friendliest staff. This restaurant is the definition of a hidden gem.“

“I got the 3 rolls special for $15.95. If you go in before 3pm, they also give you a free miso soup. My favorite was the fried calamari! So good. It’s really substantial and cheap. Worth it! Awesome service, delicious food, would love to come back next time!“

“Great service, red curry veggies with white rice and udon noodle soap with tempura was excellent!“

“Fabulous meal and service! Super clean and great portions with fresh offerings. Definitely on my go-to list for sushi in the city now -- and a marvelous venue for a business lunch. Parking may be tricky, but there are a few open-air lots nearby, if it comes to it. Trust me, it's worth springing those extra bucks.“

“Favorite sushi place! We came from out of state because we love this restaurant so much. We've come many times, usually dine-in but also once to go. The sushi is very fresh and tasty, and reasonably priced. We especially enjoy the sweetheart roll, Godzilla roll, rose roll, and new rainbow roll! Pleasant staff and lovely atmosphere, as well. Can't recommend enough!

I didn't get pics of our most recent visit but added pictures we previously took.“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“Never disappoints“

“Tokyo Sushi offers affordable and delicious items and is conveniently located in the Concourse of the Comcast Center. They have a wide range of Japanese food/drinks (many of which were prepackaged but still hot/appealing), as well as oatmilk matcha :) will definitely return!“

“This restaurant, previously named MoguMogu, is now WADAYA with the same owner and same recipe. It is an absolute fun experience to eat here. The noodles are delicious. The drinks are unique. I highly recommend the Yuzu Cocktail (and for you to play the dice game). The service will make you feel at home. You will leave happy 🍜🍹.“

“Brand new interior renovation! It is so bright, clean and spacious inside!
I cannot say enough good things about the service, I wish I had gotten her name. She was super attentive and totally on the ball!! Great job!
The food.. well, it’s one of the main reasons they’ve been in business for 40 years. It was PERFECT!! The sushi was extremely fresh and super tasty!!
Excellent work!“

“The variety of food and service at Poke It Up was very good. Honestly wish I'd tried it sooner! There are different varieties of poke bowls to select from or you can make your own. The fish was very fresh and came with a healthy portion of rice. The veggies and sauce complimented the meal and the serving size (for me) was quite large so easily came for two meals. Definitely recommend!“

“the teppanyaki grills. the skill and techniques, the style and positive energy flowing through the whole restaurant is found no where else.“

“It was my first time eating at Osaka Hibachi and I was very pleased with both the meal and service.
I ordered the chicken and salmon hibachi and both meats were tender.
The vegetables were cooked perfectly.
The rice was also cooked well.
My only con was the teriyaki/ hibachi sauce was a tad bit salty. Other than that- great experience and you get a lot of food!“

“Was so relaxing food great, place clean, staff very courteous service with friendly…“

“My first time ordering here and the food was fresh and delicious ! The gyoza were crispy , but not greasy and the filling tasted like chicken and onions . The dipping sauce was far too salty ( but it could be because I’m used to low sodium ‘ not sure ) . I will definitely be ordering again - this may just be my new favorite spot :D“

“We love Yuki! They have outstanding food, from appetizers to a large selection of Sushi. We've never had a bad meal or bad service here. We have been ordering delivery once a week since the quarantine (min order of $25 to qualify). They are offering credit card payment over the phone, and the delivery man safely passed off our order from a distance while wearing gloves. Support local businesses like Yuki Sushi right now if you're able to!“

“Cute little place and the food could be in a fancy restaurant👍 Well presented and everything was delicious! The staff was kind and efficient. Excellent experience here“

“Osushi consistently delivers the best sushi on the Main Line.
Every single time.
The food is always fresh and the rolls are to die for. The plating is beautiful and fun for us and the kids!
Service and ambiance are equally good and consistent.
Stop reading this and go already!“

“Great tasty eclectic Japanese food“

“I ordered 2 sushi rolls: Cocomo and Salmon Volcano. They were both incredibly fresh and flavorful. Very unique and original. They're both large rolls, especially the Volcano. I took some home. My husband was extremely happy. Highly recommend.“

“Revolving sushi bar service is kinda depends on where you sit if its good. Honestly fine and had a nice experience besides when me and my Muslim friend asked for refills they accidentally swapped our glasses. Normally that'd be kinda fine, but they really should've just given us new glasses because I drank Alcohol and felt bad that happened even though it wasn't my fault.“

“It was ok ..good cook ..but they rush you in the end , when the place is empty. They bring out boxes n check before your even done your food. But I love the salad dressing ..I buy it to go, n the teriyaki chic. Is good n my grandson loved the steak. And they sang Happy Birthday to my grandson with some ice cream I think it was.“

“This place is a gem. Fast and friendly service, the best ginger dressing on a house salad I have ever tasted. The freshest fish you will find on the main line. The rice was served at the perfect temperature. The owners and staff are the nicest people you will ever meet. If I could only eat at one restaurant for the rest of my life, this would be the one.“

“Amazing food and the best staff“

“I visit Kansai at least once a week. The sushi is great and the staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable. Friends I take there always love the sushi.“

“FRESH sushi poke bowls and ramen dishes on a limited menu are fabulous. The quality of the sushi is exceptional, as are the portions. The service is wonderful and accommodating. Located in Whole Foods on the perimeter between the exterior walls and check-out registers, this is a wonderful option and addition to an already top notch source of quality food!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-Free Ponzu Sauce available“

“The food is phenomenal, some of the best authentic Chinese & Japanese cuisine. Literally purchase food 3-4 a month, our food today was amazing. The lo mein and sushi amazing! They literally earned my business, found my preferred restaurant!“
