Urban Sushi & Kitchen — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Came in for dinner. I've been wanting to check this place out for a while and finally did. The first thing that strikes you is how lovely and cozy the environment is. Wooden table and chairs, real tea-light candles on the tables, and warm overhead lighting. It invokes a feeling of warmth and prepares you to have a delicious Japanese meal. We confirmed that the meat is hand-slaughtered halal, so I ordered a Beef Ramen.I also got a Tuna roll, Avocado roll, and the house salad. The service is kind, attentive, and patient. Any questions we had were answered clearly, and we felt very welcome. Now for the food: Delicious !!! ⭐️ . The broth (which you can choose between miso or chicken, i chose miso) was just the right amount of spicy, and was the perfect level of a creamy broth without being too runny or too thick. The beef was flavorful, and the noodles were a great texture. The sushi is plated beautifully in a way I've never seen before, and the wasabi and ginger sides tasted fresh. The house salad dressing was delicious, and they prepare it with a good salad mix, which was nice because most places use iceberg lettuce! Overall the meal was super yummy and comforting on a chilly night. The Owner/ Head chef was sweet and informative. We will definitely be coming...

The quaintest of all sushi restaurants with the BIGGEST neighborhood feels! Maximum seating inside was 14 guests. If you want outdoor seating, 6-8 guests seems about right. You can tell this is a legit place because Uber Eats/Door dash were consistently in and out for our dinner service. One thing I love about city living is how how innovative the city-dwellers can be with the space their working with. Not one inch of this restaurant is wasted! If you don't like cramped spaces, this place is not for you. But if you generally like people, don't have B.O., and are a pleasant person yourself, then add this to your rotation for eating out! I was worried it would be hot, but the a/c worked beautifully to keep us cool. Back to the neighborhood feels: the chef/owner seemed to recognize a lot of the customers who came in for take-out. Which means repeat customers. Repeat customers = happy customers. A very good sign we chose the right spot.

The food was fresh. BEAUTIFUL presentation of our dishes! We ordered the Sushi Donut, hamachi sashimi (EAT THE shiso aka perilla leaf, a palette cleanser), American Roll, and sampled the Oshin roll. Everything tasted delicious! The Oshin roll, located under their vegan menu was, oddly enough, the winner for me!

We will...

Best sushi place in west philly so far! The sushis are fresh, you can feel it was made with best ingredients — they dont play around, even the wasabi really hits (I like spicy food so the wasabi kicks is what I need!) Both classic sushis and their special rolls are magnificent! Our favorite here are Hawaii, Fantastic, Salmon Lobster Trio, Green Tea Mochi Ice cream as desert and the vegan Oishin.. I tried my friend’s Beef Ramen noodle, the broth is spectacular!! I would like to try different menus on my next visit. Price are very reasonable and affordable with their portion and excellent taste. When we were there, the place was quite busy, but the food really worth the wait! The chef and owner are also really friendly! Plus, they got the classic Indonesian Ice Tea — Teh Kotak, which...
