The 16 Best Japanese Restaurants In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Hiroki's $155, 20-course omakase has been around forever, and on most nights, it's still worth the money. You might eat expertly cooked wagyu beef tongue covered in white bean foam and gold flakes, and spongy matcha tea cake to end your anniversary or birthday dinner. And whether you’re at the crowded sushi bar watching the chefs precisely slice salmon or sitting at one of the intimately lit tables with a group of friends, you’ll feel like everybody working at the Fishtown restaurant can somehow read your mind. Come here if you have something to celebrate, but heads up—sometimes we leave hungry." - candis mclean, alison kessler
