I have absolutely no idea how this restaurant has received these high ratings. was there VERY recently and should have known straight from the get-go that it was a bad idea. First, a sushi joint without a sushi bar...something must be wrong. The decoration of this place is out of control i would be utterly embarrassed to take someone on a date here, not unless it was a joke, it was as cheesy and over decorated as a old school swingers club. Matted carpet at what should be a fresh, ""SWANK"" sushi place, c'mon now!! Lets move passed what it LOOKED like. The food. . . I literally could not get passed the appetizer in fear of what the raw fish would taste like. We ordered shrimp and veggie tempura (playing if safe) and when it came out it wasn't tempura rather it was once FROZEN shrimp and veggies DEEP FRIED straight from the frozen plastic bag, you could call it by the way it smelled (as I did). We had ordered plenty of sushi but told the server that we had to bounce (told her my partner was feeling ill) because well we didn't want the server to pick up any slack for our disliking this place. Unfortunately this was our last experience in philly (coming from NY) and it LITERALLY left a bad taste in our mouth.
Pros: server was very nice
Cons: crowd, ambience, interior decoration, FOOD!
