“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 had the opportunity to visit Uchi Philadelphia and decided to try the tasting menu. The food was exceptional, but I’ve always believed that great food tastes even better when it’s served by people who genuinely care—and tonight was a perfect example of that.
Our server, Bre, was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without ever being intrusive, she made the entire experience feel personal and effortless. Every course was explained with enthusiasm, and her positive energy elevated an already incredible meal.
A special shout-out as well to the managers, Kinsey and Ashlyn. It’s easy to see that they have built a culture where hospitality comes first. When the leadership sets the right example, it shows in every interaction with the guests.
The tasting menu was outstanding, but what I’ll remember most is how the team made us feel. That’s the difference between a great restaurant and a truly memorable dining experience.
Thank you, Bre, Kinsey, and Ashlyn, for a wonderful evening. Experiences like this are why I look forward to coming back—and why I’ll continue recommending Uchi Philadelphia to friends and family.“

“This higher end Japanese restaurant is a great find! Absolutely top notch sushi, with ingredients that are clearly fresh and portions that are abundant.
I also had the ribeye/beef broth ramen and it was outstanding, among the best ramen I’ve ever had in the city.“

“My partner and I’s favorite sushi spot, and seems like it’s not as well known yet so makes for an easy to talk date night. (It definitely deserves recognition!) We go for the food which is always great, with many sushi options! The sashimi is always a good cut and the Godzilla roll is probably our favorite special roll. There is a variety of apps, teriyaki and vegetarian options too. Jay, who greets you and is your waiter is AMAZING. He’s very sweet and seems happy to see us, it is worth it to come just to meet him. They are BYOB but also have a nice sake selection.“

“Loved this place. This place was packed and I was so lucky to have a reservation for my date. We loved the food, not even lying when I tell you it was the freshest sushi I’ve had in a while. We went on the 17th and it was super busy, the staff worked so hard and still made us feel so welcomed.“

“Got the shrimp teriyaki bento box. Portion was massive. Came with some tempura pieces including a big shrimp tempura. The shrimp was cooked good on both. Rice was cooked good. Not dry or too wet. Came with some dumplings too. Would order again! Maybe would get beef next time. There’s a bunch of different options.“

“One evening, I passed by and decided to try the food. At every Japanese restaurant I visit, I usually order the salmon teriyaki, so I ordered it here as well. It was the best salmon teriyaki I’ve ever had — absolutely delicious.
The staff was very nice and friendly. He handled the hosting, serving, and even made the sushi himself. Great food and great service!“

“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!“

“We had a really good experience dining here! The highlights of the dining were definitely the staff and the food quality. The service was excellent—the staff was incredibly attentive throughout our meal. The sushi was absolutely outstanding and fresh. The only downside to our meal was the fried rice, which wasn't that great and lacked the same level of flavor as the rolls.
That being used, the fantastic sushi and top-notch service more than made up for it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“Food was high quality and expertly prepared. Overall a good value. Aside from two other patrons talking obnoxiously loud, the experience was great. Just a friendly reminder when you go to a restaurant, remember to use your inside voice. The other patrons don't need to hear about your career path or other life choices.“

“Hands down one of the BEST sushi experiences I’ve had in Philadelphia. From the moment I walked in, I could feel the welcoming, positive energy. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and has such a great vibe that makes you want to slow down and truly enjoy your food.
I ordered the shrimp tempura roll — and honestly… I loved it so much that I ended up ordering TWO of them. Perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and flavorful on the inside, and made with extremely fresh ingredients. Every bite tasted better than the last. You can genuinely tell that a lot of care and pride goes into how the sushi is prepared here.
On top of that, I also ordered a shrimp avocado roll to take home, and Min was absolutely amazing. She was beyond kind, patient, and welcoming — the kind of person who makes you feel like a valued guest, not just another customer. She packed everything up quickly and neatly, and made the whole experience even better with her friendly attitude and positive energy.
This place isn’t just about great food — it’s about great people, great service, and a great overall experience. If you’re looking for authentic sushi, high-quality ingredients, generous portions, and a spot that truly cares about their customers, do yourself a favor and come here. I will 100% be back and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
Highly, highly recommend!“

“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“

“Honestly surprised more people aren't talking about Tataki Ramen! It’s a quiet, humble spot, but the flavor speaks volumes. Easily my favorite ramen in Philly right now.
The chicken broth is amazingly rich and full-bodied—pure flavor, no doctoring up required. Pair that with their incredible gyoza and you've got a top-tier meal. If you love authentic, soul-warming ramen, put this spot on your list immediately“

“Great food. Best at Specialty rolls rather than classics tho. Chipped dishware is way too common though. that exposed ceramic can cause silica contamination and speed up damage to the dishes or cause mold growth. Can also be kinda loud. But good service and food.“

“My daughter loves sushi and since we were in the neighborhood I found this place online. She had the sushi entree and I had shrimp teriyaki. She liked her food mine was ok . Shrimp were small and a bit over cooked . Besides that the atmosphere was clean and relaxed and the servers were polite and very attentive. We will be back again . Thanks 💚“

“My evening at Morimoto‘s will be the best memory of my visit to Philadelphia! If I was a local, I’d be in to have their Wasabi Watercress Caesar salad at least once a week. Brilliant! Service was excellent, all the food was lovely, and the restaurant itself, with its soft jewel-tone colors and wave-like forms, was a delight to be in.“

“Ate there last night. Everything was delicious, and I'd love to go back in the future. It seemed like the chef did creative riffs on things that made them interesting but still recognizable. To give but one example, I normally don't think of chirashizushi as something special, but the chef made a mini chirashizushi that was absolutely stellar! Also, the menu seems to start with a bunch of starters and such, and you think it's done, but that's when the sushi part starts! We were chatting with the couple around the corner of the counter from us, and it was fun seeing their reactions when they tried these amazing dishes!“

“I forgot to get photos because I ate my food so fast but it was delicious! I got the Ex-Girlfriend roll with no eel sauce and it was a very generous portion. It was freshly made and tasted like it.
Theres only about 3-4 tables with about 4 chairs each indoors. There are approximately tables available outdoors for when the weather permits.
The interior was clean and bright.“

“I went for a dinner. I was impressed with authentic Japanese taste offered here. Portion size is very satisfying. Good sushi, ramen noodles were authentic. Pork slices on top were delicious. I ordered takeouts of guidon and curry. I'd come back there when I am in the area next time. It seems majority of people are ordering pickups. Many customers came to pick up their orders. The dining space is nicely prepared and the room ready for anyone to come and dine.“

“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.“

“See pics for Shoyu Ramen and Salmon Dream. Ive also tried out their chicken katsu. Shoyu ramen was pretty standard. Chicken katsu had great portions. I actually wished there was more rice for all the chicken, which is a good problem to have. Salmon dream's presentation was perfectly balanced and so was the flavor. Portions are great, will fill you up. Prices are around the standard for the city. Services are great and fast.“
