"There were two if s and we ordered the Sushi boat for two. It was $35 and well worth it. 20 pieces of sushi and a Califirnia roll. Oh yes, and they served salad and soup. The sushi was good and the salad and soup combined to fill us up."

"We were there on a Sunday night. One waitress, which contributed to the "fair" service, since she was also taking phone orders. Not quite her fault. I had the ginger salad; not as good as other similar places but ok, as was the miso... just fair. I had the sushimi platter; nice fish; fresh, but again, nothing special. I think Fugi Mountain and Shiroi Hana are better for the same money, but if I was right there and someone said "let's go", I'd go back, but I wouldn't go out of my way."

"Had a very good meal there. Clam soup was a high light and good quality sushi. We picked this location above other sushi restaurants in the city because we were able to book it through Open Table. Being on Open Table is definitely an advantage. It had good food, and earned us points on here, so this restaurant had an advantage for sure. Nice dinner overall."

"After reading some great reviews on here, my girlfriend and I decided to check this place out. The place made a good first impression with its nice ambience and romantic feel... that's about where the compliments end. The waitress was slow, though polite and smiling. We were given a wine glass with lipstick on it. After a 20+ minute wait for the food, she brought out a plate of sushi and apologized for a wrong order. They made us a shrimp tempura roll when we ordered a veggie and shrimp tempura appetizer. The sushi was mediocre at best. The fish was fresh, but the amount of fish was very disappointing. Luckily this place is a BYO and we were able to get a slight buzz while waiting for our food. Plenty of better choices in Philly."

"Great little find right in the heart of the theater district and a 3-5 min. walk to the Kimmel Center. Loved this place - food was very tasty and fresh, ambiance was lovely and the service was excellent and the server very polite and attentive.
Salad, with a very generous serving of Ginger Dressing, was amazing and the Sushi was fresh and nicely presented. My husband had a tofu and shrimp stir fry served with rice and that was also excellent.
We will definitely go back to this restaurant."

"Having been many times to their Northeast location, we were happy to have this option in Center City before going to a Kimmel Center concert. Nice to be able to have a meal that's good but not heavy and not overpriced."
