    Absolutely the best Japanese upscale restaurant in Philadelphia. We have been coming for years , every year we visit Philadelphia , it’s #1 stop. Always consistent, the best sushi hands down and the best seafood!! The atmosphere is like nowhere else, feels so incredible, cozy and fun :)

    Mixed bag. Drinks list is terrific and some of the things we ordered were truly exceptional (that miso black cod!!, hamachi ponzu). But others were uninteresting, weird (toro tartare), or one-dimensional (rock shrimp tempura, seafood toban yaki). The sashimi was divine, but the sushi rolls, strangely, used mashed fish. The service was courteous and I appreciated being unhurried, but there were long periods of no attention from the server & we had to flag them down from time to time. Glad I gave it a shot, but given the competition in Philly, there are better choices.

    One of the best restaurants in Philly. Even for an expensive meal, it feels like a steak with how much you get.

    Food was good as was service. It’s a bit pricey especially the wine which seems overpriced for small pours
