| This Hidden Omakase Spot is Totally Worth the Hunt
π Yuhiro Omakase Sushi 2146 E Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19125 Itβs been a while since I last had omakase, and I was really craving it! π I decided to try a place in Philly to see if it could measure up to the experience in Japan. Hereβs my honest take~ π₯’ Appetizer Toro Tartare Caviar β Made a strong first impression! The tartare was smooth, the caviar savory, and the combination was rich yet not greasy. π£ Nigiri Starting with Madai β a pleasant surprise! The fish was sweet and tender, with just the right thickness, blending perfectly with the rice. Sable Fish β Lightly seared, with a delicate aroma. Salmon Tomato β Refreshing and subtly flavorful. Botan Ebi β So sweet! Hamachi β Clean and fresh. But the real showstopper was the Toro β the chef topped it with delicate gold flakes β¨, taking it to another level visually. The fatty tuna belly paired with smooth caviar created a perfect balance of savory and rich flavors. Uni Toast was also delicious β the crispy toast highlighted the freshness of the sea urchin, though I felt the uni could have been a bit fresher. Then came the Foie Gras Sushi β absolutely incredible! π It started with a warm, aromatic flavor, followed by the melt-in-your-mouth richness of the foie gras, finished with a touch of sweet sauce. Each bite was heavenly without being heavy. The meal wrapped up with Futomaki, which tied all the previous flavors together in a gentle, satisfying conclusion. π° Dessert Monaka Ice Cream felt a bit rushed β just ice cream sandwiched between wafers, like an afterthought. It didnβt quite match the vibe of the rest of the meal. Watching the chef meticulously craft each piece of sushi was truly soothing. He even chatted with us in Chinese! π£οΈ Although the variety and freshness of ingredients werenβt quite at the level youβd find in Japan, considering this is Philly and the price point, this omakase offers solid value. The entire experience lasted about 90 minutes, and reservations are a must! π‘ Also, paying in cash gets you a 10% discount! #Omakase #JapaneseCuisine #Sushi #FoieGras #PhillyFood #Philadelphia
