Their salmon skin salad was good. I loved their portions. The salmon sashimi was good I also enjoyed their stake. The muchi and the green tea fried ice cream dessert was sooooo good

Scallop skewers are amazing!!! Sushi is so fresh and flavorful. Love the vibe of this place too - fun and sexy. Outdoor space is really nice

Try their hot saki with grilled squid and Sashimi. Beautiful food. Best Japanese in Philly.
Andrea PJuly 28, 2013
Good chicken katsu donburi where the rice gets a little char. Eel avocado hand roll is a great off the menu item. Trust me, you won't regret it!

I highly suggest the White Tiger Roll if you dont mind spending $21 on 8 HUGE pieces of sushi(probably the best specialty roll I've ever had).Also,try for the romantic outdoor area if weather permits.

Try the White Tiger (tuna & jalapeno) with Orange Blossom (salmon) - by far the best junkfood sushi roll in town!!! it's worth the calories!!!

Older diners need to bring flashlights as the place rather dark, making it hard to read the menu. Otherwise food was delicious
Scott LeeMay 16, 2013

Food was tasty! Speciality cocktails were just ok. Would stick with an original choice! :) sit on the patio if you can, great atmosphere.

Fantastic maki and tempura. Can't go wrong with a hefty appetizer of edamame. Great atmosphere inside and outside, even the bathrooms are pieces of art. Read more

This was the best sushi we've had in a long time. Prices were reasonable, drinks very good and the staff was great.

I love the outdoor dining area. It's serene for it to be in the middle of the city.

The Raw Sushi Deluxe platter was well priced for what you got. It was really good.

Their specialty rolls are especially tasty, and $15 lunch boxes let you taste a little bit of everything.
Filipe BrazApril 23, 2013
Ask for chef's daily special, you will be surprised. Everything here is amazing!

It's promising for a drink and nibble, but stick with the sushi, because the fusion cooking rarely tastes as good as it looks. Read more

I love the Wasabi fries and Seaweed salad!
Emily M.July 8, 2014
Get the elaborate rolls and sit outside if the temperature permits!

We drove from the Lehigh Valley for dinner and it did not disappoint!

Like sake? There are more than 30 varieties of dry, smooth, floral and aromatic sakes available in both economy and top-shelf price ranges.

The lunch time tuna Bento Box is great, more then enough food. Service is great!
Phuong TranApril 12, 2014
Nice place and environment, but my first experience there was terrible. The food took forever, and the waiter forgot to order my drink. I got my drink 50 minutes into the visit.
Elizabeth GrazioliApril 9, 2011
Sushi is delicious!! Middle of the road prices. Try the infused sake - watermelon is good!
Marissa MackenzieDecember 3, 2017
Stallion roll and scallop roll are great

White tiger roll has so much stuff in it, its super mouthful and flavorful!
Amy WaltonAugust 21, 2020
Mediocre at best. Wait staff was rude and a guy screamed at me when I accidentally forgot my mask. Don’t yell at me like I’m a Karen before I can even ask where the restroom is. Yes I put my mask on.

Save room for the Donburi. Trust me.

Try the Arina Roll! Its fantastic!
Steph ParkerJuly 29, 2011
The tempura is to die for. Pair some with an appetizer, and you have yourself a fabulous meal.
KardsNovember 17, 2012
Sushi is some of the best, but avoid the appetizers they are small and not worth the money
KellyJuly 28, 2010
