50 Best 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.“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“What is the specialty of this sushi restaurant?“

“Everything was so good. No fishy or stale flavors. Staff were very friendly and very informative on all the different types of sushi. Will be coming back. The A5 Wagu Uni hand roll was amazing!“

“Awesome experience!!!! The freshest fish I’ve ever had. Shipped from Japan daily. Great place!!!“

“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 five different rolls alongside an avocado salad. My girlfriend praised the salad, saying it was one of the best she's ever had. I was the one mainly eating the rolls, and I've got to say that the fish tasted very fresh and of high quality. Great food and service. Highly recommend!“

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

“I came here to eat with my girlfriend, and we also ordered takeout a different day. We both agreed this is the best sushi we had so far here in the city. Lived here for 5 years, and the sushi and sashimi here are great and taste fresh. The takoyaki unfortunately was very cold when we got it, but I understand it's takeout and would be better in the restaurant. Definitely give this place a try.“

“A gem in south philly and definitely the best sushi in the area. Super friendly service, always easy to get a table, and BYOB is a plus. The salmon lover's sushi entree is my go-to and is accompanied by a salad and soup. Haven't been disappointed with any of the rolls - always the perfect rice-to-fish ratio and all of the ingredients are super fresh.“

“Dinner is always excellent here, but I especially wanted to recognize Alicia and Zack for making our visits truly memorable. We had them as servers on two separate occasions, and both provided outstanding service from start to finish. Their drink and dinner recommendations were spot on, and their friendly, engaging personalities made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. We’re already looking forward to coming back and seeing them again!“

“Amazing food and service!

I ordered the mushroom gyoza (steamed), crispy rice, single sashimi, treasure roll, and crispy chocolate wonton.

I would definitely come back and get the mushroom gyoza again. If you love mushroom, definitely order this! The crispy rice was also amazing.
All the fish melted in your mouth. The chocolate wonton wasn’t my favorite but it was an innovative concept and nice to try something new.“

“Went here as part of a food tour, so just had small bites, but everything was so good! Tried some sushi, a unique take on edamame that was roasted/grilled, and crispy tofu - all delicious! And the staff was so warm and friendly. Would recommend.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Just visiting Philly for the weekend and stopped by to try this place, as it was on my way to the subway. Had the vegetable bao and it was AMAZING! I don’t know how or why it was so good but it was and I felt compelled to leave a review. We were the only ones in there and it took a few minutes for them to make the bao but it was totally worth it!“

“Nakama made our first omakase a night to remember! Chef Mitsutaka made the most incredible sushi. He explained everything and answered any questions we had. You could tell he really cared that we had a great experience! Very special experience and well worth the money especially for a special occasion!“

“Very good“

“If you’re looking for delicious Japanese comfort food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and the spicy crab inari, and both were absolutely amazing. The tonkatsu ramen had a rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and tender toppings that made every bite satisfying. The real surprise, though, was the spicy crab inari—it was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy, and quickly became my favorite dish of the meal. The quality of the food, attention to detail, and great flavors made for an excellent dining experience. I can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend!“

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

“My husband and I come from Atco nj and will not go anywhere else! We get the California rolls they are amazing!and the fried rice out of this world. and the bartender is right there getting you anything you need at an instant! Our very happy date night♥️“

“The food was so delectable I could feel the flavors on my mouth bouncing through my mouth. Every piece of fish were cut so thinly and precisely they spent so much hard work and time making sure everything is perfect. I loved the interior design, as a future interior design major this inspired me. I will be coming back for some more fun! - Dylan Lam III“

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

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

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

“clean, friendly staff, good food, good selections, and fast service“

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

“I stopped by for lunch and will be back for dinner. It's that good!
I had a bowl of spicy tonkatsu And a cucumber avocado roll. Both dishes were perfect. They may have some of the best jammy eggs I've had in ramen before. Place it top shelf all the way and cannot recommend enough.“

“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.“

“First time here yesterday and we will absolutely be back! I’ve been craving sushi for some time now and this absolutely hit the spot! The portions are bigger than expected and every single bite was delicious. First time in a long time I’ve kept eating even when so full. The service was great and not pushy and I love that the windows by the bar open up fully so you’re looking onto the street. 10/10, thank you Urban Sushi family!“

“Another great little hidden gem so many in philadelphia, we had an awesome cold soba noodle salad and spicy marinated cucumbers on the side.The bowl was very big so we were able to share what a nice place.Great place to come and just relax and enjoy nice summer night. People were very nice“

“Sushi was great, miso was great. Steamed Gyoza was ok.

They did forgot our salad but after eating the food we aren’t even too upset. The sushi was good and fresh. Rice was perfect.

Will definitely be back soon!“

“I am a bit of a sushi efficianado and this place blows me away every time. The freshness of their ingredients set it apart. they carefully construct their bowls and I haven't had a dissapointing roll yet. It's also extremely affordable. I really recommend the Poke bowl. If you're a fan of sushi this place is a must try.“

“Will definitely be coming back soon when I'm in Chinatown. The place was nice and clean and super attentive. The sashimi was super fresh and just a welcoming place with so many options of sushi to choose from. Me and my boyfriend got their Valentines course and it was beautiful. I got a rose when I was leaving out from one of the servers which was so sweet!! Thank you guys for the amazing experience.“

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

“I'm shocked I do not have a photo of the Salmon Bento that I have gotten at least 20 times already. I usually have it delivered via Uber Eats and it's so good that I dive right in when I get it! It comes with perfectly cooked salmon on a bed of sauteed broccoli and onions in a yummy teriyaki sauce. The sides are shrimp and veggie tempura, gyoza, California rolls, and white rice. You know when you find that one go-to restaurant that eases even the worst day at work? Sakura is that restaurant for me!

If you want the bento at a cheaper price - try the lunch specials; it's equally delicious!

I highly recommend this place and will continue to order hopefully for years to come!

Thank you Sakura owner and employees for bringing joy to my day!“

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

“Ramen was excellent. Fish was not top quality but priced appropriately for what it was. I did find either a blood vessel or worm in a cut of tuna so I didn't eat that piece. I think the chef is supposed to cut that stuff out but must have missed it. It is sushi, after all, so always a risk. Not the end of the world and I'm always careful to check my fish before eating it like anyone should.

What was more upsetting than that though, was the way the ginger is kept on the table like a condiment. I dont think it's appealing, safe, or aesthetically pleasing so I'm not sure why they do it. Just provide an option on the order menu for your food to come with ginger or not. Ginger is one of my favorite parts of a sushi meal but I wasn't going to eat communal ginger that had been on the table for anyone to touch, cough on, etc. Gross to be honest.“

“Honestly amazing food. I got takoyaki and tonkatsu ramen, both of which were amazing. The takoyaki were obviously freshly made, and tasted delicious, and the ramen was flavorful and rich. I got chashu pork in my ramen and my only regret is not ordering extra meat, because it was so tender and flavorful. It was all very reasonably priced, especially considering how massive the portion of ramen was. My entire meal came out to around $20.“

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

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

“Great service and excellent food!“

“I got a DoorDash order from here today. It was truly some of the best miso soup I’ve ever had. The special role that I ordered was wrapped with cucumber and although impossible to eat in a one bite, the fish was very fresh and the taste overall was excellent. I also had gyoza which were very good.“

“I have ordered from sushi nami probably 6 times already and every single time the food is always amazing! I love how close it is to my job as its right across the street from my work and I couldnt be happier with how satisfied I am whenever I order food here. Love this place!“

“the suchi was delicious I'm sorry I'm so hungry I didn't take a photo the light vegetable soup and ramen was very good I'm Mexican and my palate is quite demanding I liked the experience. I told my husband I recommend the Japanese pozole !! mexican joke !!!“

“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!“

“I love the poke bowls at this place; they have different toppings that seem very healthy to me. The drinks are also very varied. I recommend it because I'm someone who enjoys eating delicious food, and the staff has always been very friendly to me.🥗🙌“

“Hey get there fast
This seems to be a family owned well run restaurant
After landing in philly and resting a few hours i walked to the acme from my airbnb for wine and minor things but i saw fuki sushi was across the street along side the peruvian chicken joint. I got a couple pieces of chicken from the peruvian chicken joint (i will review them on another post) and i decided to eat at fuki sushi and let me say i was no ways disappointed. This joint is slamming and smacking. I had a Japanese lycee soda (with the marble in it) but i lost the smacker for the marble so the waiter said i will bring you another no sir just charge me for both and we good. I love lycees but this had the slight flavor of lycee but it will have to do until i get back to the east.
The food
I had pan fried chicken pot stickers which were so delicious
I had the dragon roll sushi which was busy spicy hot and flavorful
It was all so good
This place was busy with lots of take out orders
But i recommend grabbing a table
Eating and enjoying the meal immediately
I will return before i leave but this place is a 5 star joint
Enjoy“
