    They claim to have the best sushi in Philadelphia and, based on rather limited experience (perhaps a dozen kid the seeming hundreds), they very well may be right. Not to be missed. V nice service, too.

    Soon as we walked in Alex was pleasant and so helpful with the menu selection. Great personality and made our dining experience even more enjoyable for our first time. The food was so fresh and delicious! The ginger crème brûlée was the perfect ending to our dinner! Definitely will be going back to try the Omakase next!

    Steak was excellent, sliced in bite sized morsels tableside (I was wondering why no knife was provided!) and easily fed 2 people in addition to 2 small plates (which are indeed small). Too bad there is no accessible entrance - I won't come back because of how difficult the stairs into the dining room are.
