“I was pleasantly surprised at how good and fresh everything was, I'm usually a little wary anytime I try a new sushi place. But I'll tell ya, it's the soup dumplings that have been on my mind since eating them... perfect dough, not too thick as many can be, with umami-like flavors inside. And they traveled well, still hot and all the soup still inside!“
“I can’t say a single bad thing about this place. The owner is nothing short of lovely, the food is fresh, a generous portion size AND at an affordable price. I come here at least once a month.. sometimes more when I want to hangout in a fun place with great music with friends.“
“The staff was very attentive, quick and friendly. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and didn't expect such a rich taste - perfectly cooked noodles, a creamy broth and perfectly assorted toppings. Haven't had such good ramen outside of Japan. Will definitely come back again!“
“Place is out of this world. Best experience ever. 8 seats, 17 courses, chef explains every dish, what ingredients, where it’s from, etc. it was fun, music was perfect, and service was waiting on us at every moment. Really a top notch experience for omakase. Chef made it so much fun.“
“This place is a hidden gem! We were pleasantly surprised by the very generous portions, reasonable prices and the excellent service. The food was so delicious, my kids begged us to return the following evening for dinner! As a former pizza restaurant owner, their newly tweaked dough recipe is on point and consistent. We had the best pizza on the East coast 2 nights in a row. We made sure to order extra, as our server Yoram suggested the pizza was even better heated up later.If we're ever back that way in Philly, you can be sure we already have dinner plans!Kid-friendliness: Excellent service and the server was extra kind to my kids and even gave them treats for behaving so well during the meal“
“This place was immaculate from start to finish: the ambiance, the food, the drinks, the service… everything was perfection! If you’re thinking about visiting this place, this is your sign to do so!I tried the waygu roll, Mai fried rice, and the “hurts” roll. Everything was worth it! It’s a bit pricey here but again, you are paying for what you’re getting and that is pure deliciousness!“
“The sushi was really good. We had the red dragon roll and another combination roll with eel that were delicious. The staff was really friendly. The dining room is very casual and more like you'd find at a dinner, but it was quiet, so it was a nice place for conversation.“
“It was my birthday and I was craving sushi. I looked around at a few places and I decided to try this place. I looked at the menu before going and they had a lot of great choices. The staff was amazing. They were very nice and helpful. We had no wait for a table either. The food was very delicious, definitely worth coming here to try. I was very amazed that it came out on a boat like that too. I loved it. These were the rolls we ordered. Eagle Roll, Lobster Roll, Tiger Roll, Dancing Shrimp Roll, and King Dragon Roll.“
“Very good sushi spot. Went with my wife on a date night and had a great time. The waitress was patient and answered all our questions when we tried to get away from the basic Cali roll. I tried raw sushi for the first time and it wasn't bad. We did try some of the Cali rolls and they were great and well balanced. Usually you get a bunch of cucumber and a little crab, but not here. Everything was delicious and the staff was great. Check them out.“
“Came here with my mom from a recommendation her friend gave. We really enjoyed the sushi! The prices were very affordable, we paid less than $40 for two entrees and two soups. However the cleanliness was a little suspect for me. You can see the area where the chefs prepare the sushi, and it reminded me of a Waffle House.“
“The food is amazing, it's family owned by the nicest people you'll ever meet, the sushi is such great quality and the sushi chef takes great care in his craft. The takoyaki is so so good here, I go here once a week at least because I work nearby they've never disappointed! There's indoor seating if you don't want to do take out and it's very quick. It's nearly always empty because people prefer to order out instead, so you can always dine in if you'd prefer!“
“Amazing Japanese food - fish was as fresh as could be, creative dishes, beautiful presentation, welcoming staff, top-tier experience. Chef/owner Matthew is extremely nice, knowledgeable of his craft and accommodating; he's willing to curate unique dishes for his guests, treated us like family.“
“This place deserves way more hype and attention. In my opinion they have the best food in town, also by far the freshest. I usually get the chicken hibachi meal. The chicken is always perfectly cooked, the veggies are so fresh, and the rice is just amazing. It comes with a salad and soup which are both outstanding. I've gotten sushi a few times too and they just impress me every single time. A true hidden gem. Every sauce I believe is homemade- and they do it perfectly. Honestly, I cannot recommend them enough. Also they gave us a crab salad sample last night...I don't usually like crab but WOW that was good! Thank you so much! I will come here forever.“
“Very calm atmosphere and an upscale interior. The staff were very attentive and kept our water glasses filled. Our waitress noticed we did not bring alcohol (it is BYOB) and offered us complimentary rice wine. The sushi rolls were prepared quickly and very tasteful. They have a unique yet traditional selection of food, many items that you may not find at a typical sushi restaurant. The miso soup was the best I’d ever had!“
“First time visiting and we were blown away. The atmosphere is sophisticated and feels very up scale.The food was fabulous in taste, portion, and visual appeal.I personally had shrimp and scallop teriyaki and it was stunning. The teriyaki was sweet and not pungent. The scallops were cooked to perfection. I was also very pleased with the shrimp shumai. I very much recommend this establishment. Their staff were very friendly and courteous. Our waiter was very diligent, knowledgeable, and above all kind. He had wonderful recommendations which did not disappoint. The chairs for dining in were comfortable and while the overall restaurant is small it didn't feel cramped.“
“Tried a variety of sushi including spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, salmon, and a fancy Dragon Roll. Also tried Drunken Noodle. All were amazing. Calamari was overcooked so I would avoid that and stick to their sushi and noodle specialities. Best sushi in the area. Great place to dine in or take out.“
“We have been ordering from Matsu Sushi for a little over a year and have always had a wonderful experience! The last time we ordered, we were given a complimentary tea set because of the "wait" to pick up a take out order. I put "wait" in quotes because it really was no wait at all-they just simply care about their customers and their experience! Great people, great food. Highly recommend!“
“Took my daughter here for a lunch date. Overall the food was good. We both agreed that the gyoza was the best part of the meal. I had teriyaki salmon and she had beef ramen which were both good. The service was great and we didn’t have to wait long for our food.“
“Weekend happy hour yes please! Great sushi spot in Center City. The happy hour menu has most of your classic sushi roll and appetizer choices. The veggie gyoza was delicious.We also ordered the meet me in the summer roll which was refreshingly good. The mango added a nice sweetness that I wasn't sure if I would like, but it was good.“
“We had a wonderful early dinner today and the food was excellent! The service was very friendly and we especially enjoyed a nice quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Bruce visited us and he pays close attention to every detail. We will be back soon.“
“Location a bit sketchy and there is not many seats inside but the sushi is good quality for its price point.The salmon roll is $10 at time of writing, slightly more expensive than nearby alternatives but seems to be expertly prepared.The braised pork belly buns are delicious and come with thick slabs of pork meat.The fried rice rolls appetizers are also quick good and does their job to stimulate the appetite.The cha shu ramen itself is slightly spicy and includes a sliced slab of corn which is an interesting choice, at first glance, it seems a bit like instant ramen but upon tasing the noodles are certainly higher quality than that of instant ramen. The eggs are hard boiled and reminiscent of soy sauced braised salty tea eggs, the broth is flavorful but nothing too special and the same can be said for the cha shu pork pieces. Overall 4/5. The ramen passable but the sushi is the main highlight of this place.“
“So grateful to have a local sushi spot that i LOVE! I have converted several people to sushi lovers with this spot alone so that tells you how good it is! I love the 3 roll lunch specials, but oh how i wish they also allowed it on sundays :( some of us work monday-saturday, but alas still excellent sushi!“
“So happy i found this place and finally tried it. Fairly new and luckily 5 min drive from me. Chill vibes inside. Food was on point! I came towards the night my first time with my bf. wish I got my server's name but she was very attentive and encouraged me to try things in my dish i kept avoiding lol. We got gyoza which is made with chicken (big plus I avoid pork) spicy tuna roll, salmon teriyaki and the Gyu Don. Had to come again the same week. This time ordered the Fuki Spicy Miso Pork Ramen and replaced it with beef. Same server w/ a younger man, still a great time.“
“Fuji Asian is amazing! I have tried all of the restaurants in the area, and Fuji is by far the best of them all! Not only is their food incredible, the prices are extremely reasonable. I come every other week and always get the steak hibachi. Consistency and quality are important and it’s always amazing every time. They also have the best spicy mayo, which I love! It is a family owned restaurant and I would advise anyone in the area to support this local business. Give them a chance and like me, you will become a customer for life! Thank you Fuji“
“I am so happy this place opened on 2nd street!! Everything my man and I ordered had such tasty and unique flavor. We ordered the drunken noodles (which I was so excited about and met my expectations), tofu fried rice, crab rangoon, and a few sushi rolls. My man usually says his food is fine, however, he said this place is BANGIN which amazed me. Atmosphere is gorgeous. Service is so sweet and kind although I do think our waitress could have been a bit more attentive to details like water refills, empty plates, etc…I didn’t even mind though because she was so sweet and amazing in every other way. I can’t wait to try more items on the menu and am glad nolibs finally has great sushi!!!!“
“I truly believe Ooka at Willow Grove tops a lot of high end sushi places. I have been coming for at least 15 years. It is always fresh, consistent with food and service. They make the BEST sauce for the Kumoto oysters in my opinion. Whenever I am close, I will always stop by. It’s a plus that they are BYOB, an excellent place to meet your friends and colleagues.“
“The sushi was incredible! Our server was so sweet and knowledgeable and helped us decide between all the options. I definitely recommend this place if you’re a sushi fanatic.Parking: There’s plenty of parking during the weekday evenings but weekends are a pain.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space. No stairs.“
“I went here with a crew of 6 to celebrate a special day, and it was a really good experience! By no means am I a sushi expert, but I am not a newcomer either and to me it was pretty great experience, especially the tempura shrimp on the mango shrimp roll.. We ordered the Party Platter D which came with 64 pieces total comprised of Alaska roll, tuna avocado roll, california roll, spicy tuna roll, sweet potato roll, tiger roll, mango shrimp roll, and creamy crab roll. The mango in the mango shrimp roll was also a welcomed change of flavors. Lots of options. We ended up getting one of the family meals that really satisfied our group's stomachs and wallets. Generally it is a little expensive, but it's a local establishment that also doesn't have a liquor license to bring in easy revenue. On that note, this is a BYOB restaurant, which is pretty neat, allowing you to save even more on your overall price if you plan on drinking. I wonder if they would be willing to warm your sake for you? My only food recommendation (which I communicated to the open and friendly guy at the counter, is that the spicy tuna wasn't very spicy. Maybe now it will be spicier if they've had similar complaints since the time I went--probably 5 months ago at this point. Otherwise, my only other complaint is just that it's a small place--about 8 spots at the stylish wood sushi bar, and two picnic style tables that can seat 5 if you pull up a chair, so it might be a little tough to find a spot if you're going out with a crew.“
“This is my go-to place for special occasions, like getting an A (or even a B+) in my Penn Law courses. CONGRATULATIONS to the owner for an incredible four years! I've been enjoying Kaseiki's sashimi bowls since the start of the pandemic and have always had wonderful experiences with them. The ingredients are always fresh and even the basic bowls, like their signature Anniversary Bowl, are very artistically done and taste great. I highly recommend the Second Anniversary Bowl, an upgrade that includes delicately prepared scallop, the sweetest shitake mushrooms you've ever had, and mouth-watering, delicious O-toro! The prices are high, but the quality is also high, so it's definitely worth it! Looking forward to enjoying a Chirashi bowl in person someday.“
“Visited Philly on vacation and so happy we came to eat here. The food was so fresh healthy and delicious. The place was very clean with fast service. Even so accommodating to my gluten allergy was able to order almost annything even dessert! Highly recommend!Kid-friendliness: Gave my daughter coloring while we waited for her food and made sure it came out fast for her. With lots of kids options!“
“Very nice place with good service. It has become our favorite. There are always free seats, the halls are large. The rolls are absolutely delicious! Huge selection for every taste and budget. The pieces of fish are large and the rice is small - an ideal ratio. Pour delicious green tea, top up as needed. The waiters are helpful and well-trained - 5th arrival. It’s clean, the tables are clean, overall cleanliness and order - I really appreciate this, a rarity in our region. Prices for a set of rolls start from $5 - and this is a large number of types like Philadelphia, etc. I definitely recommend it.“
“Exceptional cuisine! Awesome environment (built by my friend Ben Workerman!) and friendly/ informative service. We love the circle front door and warm interior. We went with the sake pairing which we enjoyed and went will with our omakase. Loved crunching down on the soft shell crab little bite. A bit pricey, but worth it! Will definitely return. I rank it a 3 out of 3 drink review (coke, beer, sake).“
“Good food, but get there early. The place was a total madhouse at 5:30 on a Saturday. I'd describe the atmosphere as austere and hectic. Service was friendly, but clearly a bit overwhelmed with the endless stream of diners. But glad they're doing well.“
“Excellent. Husband used to frequent here for lunch when he worked closer. Had a craving for the Protein Roll and it did not disappoint! Panang curry was delightful and made to our requests perfectly. Will definitely come again to try more of the menu.“
“The sushi and the variety here is absolutely excellent. Great ambience for dining in and great service and when ordering for pick up your order will always be ready. It has the largest variety of sushi that I have seen and it is excellent quality I highly recommend this establishment.“
“I had an incredible experience at Tokyo Sushi today! The freshness and taste of the food blew me away. The dumpling soup was exceptionally delicious, and I couldn't get enough of the flavorful spicy tuna roll – undoubtedly the best I've ever had. The avocado they use is remarkably fresh, making every bite a delight. What truly impressed me was the variety of unique drink options that perfectly complemented the meal. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients are truly commendable. Tokyo Sushi has won me over as a loyal customer with their outstanding menu and impeccable service. Can't wait to return for more amazing culinary experiences!“

“Worthy of the hype! We came without a reservation for happy hour, and they were able to squeeze us in, but looks like a reservation is a good idea. The happy hour sake was good, and the U-Maki were fun and delicious. Looking forward to coming back with a reservation for the omakase!“
“I had a great time here! Ienjoyed the pink lady roll and dumpling soup. The Hibachi tasted delicious, the staff were very friendly and interactive, and the interior was clean and felt very cozy, I would definitely eat here again in the future!“
“I have only done take-out. Their Spice House Special Thai fried rice is full of protein and veggie packed while having the right amount of spice. It is my favorite dish to order from them. The Tom Yam noodle soup is good and their Avocado salad is simple but so fresh.“
“Don't be afraid of the reviews; the food is pretty good, and the quality is also good; its fresh. When you walk in, you are welcomed by an oriental couple who are probably the owners, and they look like they have dedicated a lot of time and love to this business. I would recommend this, and its affordable.“
“Incredible food!! We have ordered sushi and few times and it is some of the best in the area, we are so happy we found a great & affordable sushi place! The customer service is also amazing and they are also so nice & happy to see you come in for pickup!“
“I'm traveling from Pennsylvania to New Jersey in order to enjoy the greatest sushi and won tons! I order shrimp tempura, philadelphia roll, won tons and hot green tea for a drink. Excellent location for a laid-back date or family get-together as well. The assistance is excellent! Every time I go there for dinner, I wish I knew her name! She looks after my significant other and me. She always has a smile on her face and a cheerful disposition to help everyone, even when she is under pressure“
“You can tell it is more a grab and go type of place for the college folks but our dine-in experience was great nonetheless! Staff was so kind, attentive, and food came quickly. Sushi was amazing and amazing, I enjoyed my miso soup, and my husband and I shared some edamame.Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for some sushi in the neighborhood! Mango Tango and Holiday rolls were my favorites!“
“The atmosphere is friendly and laid-back. We received the food approximately 15-20 minutes after ordering; I found the dishes to be mediocre. I did love the Israeli sweet beverages they offer though!Parking: There is a parking lot right in front of the store.“
“This place deserves every ounce of attention and fame! The ramen here was especially delicious, the broth was so flavorful. I never had such great ramen before and this is definitely a place to start if you’re looking for great ramen! The atmosphere was perfect, it smelled like food the minute you walk in and thats just amazing. Please check this place out! This is an honest review i’ve been here only two times and the ramen was always on my list of things to try!?❤️“
“I was so impressed with this Sushi place. They are located inside of the Assi food court. It was my son's 8th birthday and all he wanted was sushi. We could not find anyone that was open for dine-in. We arrived around 3pm after much searching and they were sweet and so kind. They rushed us out a huge sushi Platter so we would eat our ridiculously late lunch. All of the sushi was delicious but it was hands down the best prepared Eel we've ever had. I don't know when we'll be back in this area, I do know if we are we'll be pre-ordering a Platter to pick up!“
“I haven’t been here for a while, and when I went back last month there was a lot of changes in their system. They have a new system that allows people to search songs on Spotify which is wonderful! I had issues finding songs previously now Spotify has all the updated music. 10/10 recommended!!!!“
“Hidden gem! We were randomly searching for a simple sushi dinner and found this spot in google which is not that far from home. The food was amazing especially for the price that they offer. We were doubting at first because the restaurant looks quite and blah but when we got our order and tasted it, it was really good. I recommend this spot to everyone craving for a satisfaction of sushi and bento meals. We got the NY steak bento and chicken katsu bento btw and the serving was big!“
“The sushi and sashimi is unbelievably fresh. The quality is noticeable from the appearance of the sashimi to the taste of the rolls. Having sushi from other restaurants outside of the city, nothing even comes close in comparison. The service is always good and the place is nice to eat in or quick enough for takeout. Prices are a little high but worth it“
“By far one of the best poke bowls I’ve ever had (and I’ve had my fair share of them)! The staff are so lovely and accommodating, and are happy to help give recommendations on different fish/sushi if you’re not sure what you’d like to try. Cannot recommend enough.“
