We ended up coming here for lunch, so roughly around noon. The atmosphere was relaxed, and we were the only ones inside. The food was AMAZING. My dining partner and I were shocked at just how good the food was! I got the chicken katsudon, and their sushi lunch special. The katsudon was so good, it was perfectly made, and they even served it in a traditional earthenware-style bowl. The chicken was perfectly consistency, and there was just enough sauce to soak into the rice to give it flavor, but not drown it. They also cooked the egg perfectly! So many times I've had katsudon at restaurants, and they almost always either overcook or undercook the eggs. The sushi was also exceptional. I asked for them to omit the cucumber in the rolls (I hate cucumber with a burning passion, like gag if I smell it type of hatred) and they did it with no questions asked. The quality of the tuna and salmon was excellent. The fish tasted wonderfully fresh! The lunch special deal they have for the sushi is a great price! Three rolls for $15 means it's $5 per roll, plus they give you soup. So not only do you save a few bucks, but you also get a delicious miso soup basically for free! The miso soup was also very well made. Just the right balance of seaweed and tofu, and it came out to the table at a perfect temperature. My dining partner got the chicken yakitori and the crunchy scallop roll. (They let me try some from their plates, so I could judge the food for myself) The yakitori was excellent as well! They cooked the chicken just long enough that it was still juicy, but not so little that it was undercooked. Plus, the sauce they used was so tasty, with the perfect consistency. Their crunchy scallop roll was very tasty, but it was a bit of a hassle to eat. It's difficult to tell where one piece ends and the other begins, so the person I was eating with kept accidentally eating two rolls at once. Also, be warned, this roll is very messy to eat! Because it's got so much on it, when you pick it up with chopsticks, the roll slowly disintegrates into little pieces. But, you're supposed to eat sushi with your fingers and not chopsticks, so that might be why they exploded the way they did. The service was excellent! The waitress we had was wonderfully attentive, and she was so sweet! She answered any questions we had about the food and helped me modify what I needed to be able to eat with ease. They also have a bar and a wall of coolers full of beer. Seeing as it was the middle of the day, we obviously didn't drink anything alcoholic. But at night, this would probably be an excellent place for dinner!

Small nitpicks: This restaurant is 100% a blink and you miss it on the road. Parking isn’t great.
Despite that, the food is excellent and reasonably priced. They’ve got great desserts and their cocktails are fantastic. I will be back as this may have become my new go-to restaurant for sushi.

Great food and drinks! The server was very kind and accommodated me when I wanted to customize my poke bowl a bit. The interior is very nice and all of our food tasted fresh and delicious. I'd definitely come back.

Ordered takeout. The shrimp tempura didn't really taste like much. Shrimp to everything else ratio was off. Couldn't taste the shrimp. Also got the crab rangoons and I did not enjoy the flavor at all. They didn't taste like much

Great sushi, appetizers, and tea! It tasted so good. Seriously! The food was fresh, tasty and visually appealing. Friendly staff, clean & sanitized restaurant and bathrooms, nice interior ambiance. There is street parking which is not a drawback and know that you can park also at the nearby train station.

I had eel, it was chewy almost like shoe leather. I'm not sure what happened but when it was brought out it looked sparse and odd. But I hoped I had misjudged the dish but I did not. I think they ran out of eel and gave me bits of pieces of what they thought would be enough to claim it was what I initially ordered. It was more avocado then not. I wouldn't want to eat that again or anything like it. Please do not get sushi from here. My stomach paid the price. Your stomach will thank you later.
CLOSER LOOK THEY LEFT THE SKIN ON AND COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO CLEAN AND CUT IT PROPERLY. WOULD NEVER GO HERE AGAIN AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
We had an excellent meal consisting of seafood soup, green curry soup, Amaebi avoTower, king Kong roll, and a sashimi roll. Everything was fresh, presented for both the eyes and the pallette.
The seafood soup is tasty and full of seafood, the green curry soup was delightful and is not too hot (spicy) and I didn't expect it to be. The head of the amaebi was perfectly prepared and delicious, as was the rest of the Amaebi avoTower (sweet shrimp, tuna, mango, & avocado). All told, recommended.
Don't overlook the specials menu. (The Amaebi avoTower is seasonal & only on the Specials menu.)

One of the best and freshest sushi and sashimi I've ever had. Really good quality. I came here by recommendation of the Japanese owner of the Rikumo, and it definitely didn't disappoint. Fantastic! Really good quality!

Amazing take out. Great sushi, great value. The street parking out front is tight though (I sometimes park at the SEPTA stop across the street)

VERY FAST service so props for that. The ambiance was also pretty nice. Not the cheapest but they have a wide range of menu choices and the sashimi was excellent. I also tried the ramen and honestly, it's definitely not "real" Japanese ramen. They put broccoli and shrimp in it... but I guess it was an attempt to reach a wider American audience. My friend loved it.
