- AAbbyPhiladelphia County •2 reviews4.0Dined on Jun 25, 2025The food was so good, but it was definitely too expensive. I understand it’s high quality small plates, but it was too expensive for the amount. We ended up going somewhere for more food afterwards because we couldn’t justify getting more and more plates at that cost.More infoDAIKAYA 2F THE IZAKAYAPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Penn Quarter•4.4
