Seiko Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Philadelphia

As somebody who has eaten at many restaurants across Philly, Seiko is without a doubt my favorite, and the one I find myself coming back to the most. The food is outstanding, with a wide variety for sushi lovers and non-sushi lovers. The Northern Liberty roll and the Lobster Liberty rolls are especially good, but we have also found ourselves constantly going back to the spicy tuna, the Philly roll, and the sweet potato tempura. On top of the sushi, there are many great options for entrees, such as the hot stone bibimbap (make sure to use the sauce provided on the side!), the bulgogi, the fried rice dishes, and many more!

This isn't even mentioning the wait staff, who have to be the most accommodating and friendly wait staff I have ever met. We absolutely love Kelly, who always remembers us when we come by, and I really can't speak highly enough of her through this medium - she is just a pleasure to be around and always provides the best recommendations.

While we don't get takeout often (we prefer to dine-in due to the great atmosphere in the restaurant), the few times I have gotten takeout have been stellar as well.

All-in-all, I truly cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Everybody who appreciates good food should come to this establishment at least once while they live in this city or...

6/23 Lunch Bento Takeout

It's my first time eating at Seiko and I ordered the Spicy Tuna Bento Box ($15). It took about 30 mins for preparation but I'm not surprised after I see how much food there is and I can't wait to try it all.

🥢miso soup🥢 4/5 it's your average miso soup with tiny tofu and seaweed. Still hot when I get home. A bit too savory for me.

🥢salad🥢5/5 fresh and yummy. Just enough sauce to cover everything.

🥢edamame🥢4/5 so much edamame!! Love it. But like the miso soup, a bit too much salt.

🥢tempura🥢 5/5 Oh. So yummy. It's crispy and crunchy. The veges are soft oh the inside. The tempura better stays on and it's not soggy at all. Very very well done!

🥢shumai🥢5/5 Warm and delicious.

🥢spicy tuna maki🥢 5/5 So yum. It's actually spicy and taste fresh.

🥢tuna nigiri sushi🥢 3/5 Unfortunately, least favorite out of all. The portion size is great, but the fish doesn't smell fresh. Even with the smell and taste of soy sauce and wasabi, I still smell something funky. Would not order this again.

Overall, 4/5 stars! Very nice and friendly service. Good portion size and mostly...

Decided to pay this spot a visit as part of NoLibs restaurant week, the $25 set dinner was quite worth the price. The set came with a sushi roll, entree, and mochi ice cream.

Sushi roll options were somewhat limited and the actual rolls themselves were nothing special. I also ordered an add on spicy salmon roll but it looked nothing like what I’m used too. Instead of a mashed salon paste, it was essentially a regular salmon roll with some spice added. Interesting choice to say the least.

I got the shrimp teriyaki for the entree and the sauce was quite good, savory and sweet. The shrimp were slightly cold and overcooked though.

The mochj cream was likely store bought, and clearly part of the restaurant week set as I cannot imagine paying more than $4-5 for a single piece of mochi.

Overall, the decor of this place along with the ambient jazz music makes for a nice casual dining spot. Nothing fancy. The food can be decently good so I may give this place a shot again to try the...
