Japanese Restaurants near Wynnewood

“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.“

“I often take my friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I go their often. This recommendation is always successful. The the food there is flavorable and the crew is attentive and cooperative. always when we go to this place we enjoy a cheerful evening. warmly recommended.“

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

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

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

“Loved this omakase experience. Very reasonably priced and all of the fish was excellent and fresh. More simple dishes and less of a show than others I have gone to which I personally prefer. Felt genuine like a secret hole in the wall. Will be going again“

“I’ve had the absolute pleasure of eating here a few times and it is one of the best omakase spots in the city! The fish is so fresh and the service is impeccable. The chefs and staff really try to make it a personal experience each time. I can’t wait to go back!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“I've only ever gotten take out here, but the ramen is always so good. I think the best I have had in the city so far. They package to go orders very well, which is great. The sushi boats are also very very good. I highly recommend if you're looking for a good ramen spot in the city.“

“Amazing restaurant featuring high quality sushi and house made noodles. The sushi bar chefs are fun and informative and the servers are knowledgeable and efficient. The quality of the roe/caviar and uni on the sushi dishes really stood out. The hot tea with roasted rice was also very good!“

“The perfect little neighborhood sushi spot at Broad and Jackson. They are always so nice about honoring my requests and in the two years as a customer I have never had anything but the freshest sushi. I spend too much money at Kiku every month because it is so delicious and their delivery is so fast. Super nice owner and staff. A hidden gem!“

“Location was terrible :( im not from the area so i was very lost and having trouble finding this place. You have to take the elevator down to the concourse at the subway. Other than that, Staff was super nice!! Pork bao buns were soo good. Overall this is a good place to stop in and have a quick ramen dish yum.“

“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 favorite sushi place in the center city area. The owner is super friendly and the chefs are amazing. They make everything to order so it usually takes 30 minutes for a large pickup order. They will make your rolls gluten free upon request and offer tamari sauce as soy sauce alternative upon request.“

“Very good“

“Amazing restaurant with great sushi and some of the BEST RAMEN not just in the area, but in South East PA. I crave it at least 2-3 times a week and the sushi options are amazing and the fish is always top notch, fresh and cut perfectly. I love this place.“

“Stellar sushi restaurant in Chestnut Hill! My wife and I had a memorable dining experience at Sakura Ramen & Sushi Bar. The ambience is warm and inviting and the staff are friendly and attentive. The sushi is fresh and of the highest quality. Presentation is first rate.“

“I like their poke, it's my usual, and I would like to try their other items eventually. Their bulgogi is not my favorite as I find it blander and drier than what I like. I find that their website is not easy to use and their customer service is not great. They seem to argue or get easily frustrated. I like to get their lunch deal but it hasn't worked multiple times and they don't seem to like to honor the deal when I can't get it to work - they begrudgingly do. I'm not sure if the issue is because I have an iphone and use safari.

While waiting for my food today- I saw 3 other set of customers come in. The first came to pick up food and it sounded like one of the shop owners(?) (the woman) was rude to someone picking up telling them that they should come on time - they they've been waiting 15 minutes. The next person asked if they could drink their boba inside (they had other food with them) and they said no because there is no outside food. I understand the rule, but it seems odd to me when I've never seen the place anywhere near full. This is just my opinion, but I think having people visible in the place would be good for business. I don't think I've ever seen more than 4 people inside. I'd like them to stay in business and remain in the neighborhood but I'm uneasy about how it's not really a pleasant place to wait for my food in. I wish they would be more open and prioritize more positive experiences.“

“Great selections, best sushi I've ever had! Highly recommend.“

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

“My friends and I enjoyed a great meal at Takumi. The cocktails were creative and tasty and the sushi was fresh, beautifully plated and delicious. This would have been a five star experience for me had it not been for the poor service. No one came to ask us if we wanted to order a drink while we waited for the last member of our party and it took a good 10 minutes for anyone to take our drink order after that person did arrive. We ordered apps at the same time since we had been waiting. Apps came out super fast, but no one came to check on us or take our dinner order. In hindsight, we probably should have ordered our dinner at the same time as the drinks and apps. After finishing our apps and still waiting for our server, we finally flagged down another server to find her so we could order. While she did come back to check on us once after food was delivered, we spent most of the rest of our dinner having to flag her or another server down every time we needed something, including the check. I'll definitely give Takumi another chance because the food was so good, and hope for better service next time.“

“Great service and very delicious sushi.“

“Fiancé and I stopped by because our other meal plans fell through. He’s had ramen before I have not. For my first experience it was absolutely fantastic! Tiny out of the way place which was cozy, sushi and sashimi were excellent and fresh, spicy miso ramen was unbelievable!! Portions were large as well so come hungry!! The young man that served us was very courteous and friendly! We will definitely be back!!!“

“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.“

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

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

“The place us clean and fun. Great service. Food is delicious. I really enjoyed my milk tea because it’s not super sweet. Will definitely be back. You can bring your own beer/wine too!“

“I’m from Taiwan, and finding sushi this perfect here was such a delight! The sushi was incredibly delicious and truly authentic. The environment was quiet and peaceful — my mom and I were tired from walking, and sitting down here to enjoy such tasty, reasonably priced food made us genuinely happy. If you come across this restaurant, you absolutely have to try it!“

“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.“

“You’ ever show up to a restaurant 10 minutes before they close? You feel bad, But after a fundraising event where maybe the food wasn’t quite as good as it could’ve been, we were starving! We stopped by on our way back to our hotel, Moments before their closing time at 11 o’clock, we walk through the door and we’re welcome. Kindly ordered some delicious sushi., Exceeded our expectations. Very nice very good sushi!“

“I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, and we both really enjoyed it! We had the 12-course omakase for $68, which is a great deal compared to other spots in Philly. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. The chef was friendly, though he spoke very little English, which made communication a bit challenging. The whole experience lasted about an hour.

It’s no longer BYOB, but they do offer a variety of drinks. We tried the fruity sake flight, and it was a great choice—different flavors to sample, and it paired perfectly with the sushi. The interior is small and cozy, with charming Japanese décor. The only downside is the parking; it’s pretty tough. Fortunately, we managed to find a spot in a small alley about a block away.“

“Good sushi spot in Philly!“

“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 .“

“We had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally did. It's a cute little place, the service is very good, and the food is good, but the portions are very small for the most part. I ordered a miso soup, a seaweed salad, a tuna roll, a salmon roll, and a mochi ice cream and I still was not very full afterwards. You get just a little bit of seaweed salad for $5.95. The rolls are tiny. You get one small mochi cut in half for $2.50. I might order a set dinner next time or more likely go somewhere else where I can get more food for my money.“

“I was in the area and saw they had pork katsudon (my favorite meal). It was delicious. This place primarily does takeout but they have two small tables for dining in. Staff checked on me a few times while I was eating and were very nice. I didn’t actually ask, but I am not sure they have a publicly accessible bathroom.“

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

“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.“

“I have been coming to Nagomi pretty frequently for about a year now and I really enjoy it. The staff is very kind and attentive. I love their rolls very much. I think the portions are good and the flavors of their speciality rolls work well together. I also enjoy their kitchen items and their miso soup is always delicious. I also think that they are very reasonably priced. I am very glad to have found this place and have brought my friends and family here :)“

“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.“

“The ambience was very lovely and the food was very delicious.“

“Great service and excellent food!“

“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!“

“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 have been a fan of their ramen for a while. I don't know if they had a change in management or just added more items. The new things, like the Takoyaki are really good and their other items have improved flavors. I highly recommend them.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Wow, what an amazing outdoor teppanyaki experience in the backyard! The food was absolutely delicious, with the meat cooked to perfection on the hot plate—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The host was so welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. The whole atmosphere was lively and fun, with everyone enjoying the great food and good company. It's a fantastic way to spend time with friends and family. I highly recommend this backyard teppanyaki to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable dining experience!“
