The 16 Best Restaurants In Northern Liberties - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"It's exceptionally rare to get the best of both worlds, and Yanaga in Northern Liberties proves it. Up front, the Japanese a la carte experience is totally meh, but the omakase in back is worth every penny (or, in this case, $150 for 20 pieces). That's where you'll enjoy buttery scallops coated with preserved lemon and truffle soy, as well as delicate golden-eyed snapper with monkfish vinaigrette in a setting as laidback as a room full of anime collectibles. Oh wait—that's exactly where this speakeasy-style meal takes place." - candis mclean, alison kessler
