86 West

I went to 86 West on a Friday night with a friend visiting from Rhode Island, and it ended up being the perfect spot for dinner and drinks. I started with the buffalo shrimp, which were on point — crispy with just the right amount of heat. I also had the mango shrimp roll and spicy tuna roll, both fresh and flavorful. The sushi here really holds up. What stood out to me was the atmosphere. The noise level was ideal — lively but not overwhelming — which made it perfect for having a business-style dinner without having to shout over loud music or crowds. After dinner, we moved over to the bar, caught the Phillies game, and had a couple of drinks. The vibe was great — relaxed but energetic. Definitely a solid spot whether you’re there for a casual night out or entertaining someone from out of town.

After visiting the Mercer Museum, we were looking for a spot that served food at 3.30, which surprisingly many restaurants in Doylestown don't, and finally landed on this place. They have a good offering of wines by the glass and beers, which was fantastic on a scorching day. The menu is quite large and tries to accommodate many tastes - there's sushi, tacos, burritos, and burgers - and much much more. We ordered fish tacos, which were great, but we also ordered wagyu burgers, which were not that good. The temp we ordered was medium, but all three burgers came out medium rare. The meat was also over charred and we could barely taste any flavor but char. Unfortunately, the burgers were also piled with very wet ingredients, so any other flavor (bacon, pickles) was watered down. In the end edible, but would definitely not order again. The interior decor is very disjointed, with multiple styles mashed together in an aesthetically weird way. It would be much better if they just chose one style and stick to it. While our server was personable and nice, the staff at the entrance really needs to work on their hospitality. We felt awkward while three very young employees talked amongst themselves sipping drinks at the reception, as multiple guests waited around.

Sushi was surprisingly very good! The chicken wings could have been a bit crispier (but that’s personal preference)! A great spot for a happy hour and great spot to watch some games. Bartender was a bit standoffish but perhaps was overwhelmed by March Madness crowd.

Scored the Monday night burger on special. Worth the money. The staff seemed a little harassed but professional. Can recommend.

86 West has the kind of charm that keeps locals coming back. The cocktails could be better the bartenders are sharp, attentive, and really quite friendly, which more than makes up the difference. It’s a spot that thrives on great conversation and atmosphere. The back patio is superb.

This establishment is very nice inside. The large bar is up front and centrally located with high top tables all around. At a glance it looked like a sushi bar in the back with more tables. My wife had filet mozzarella and an espresso martini and I had fish and chips. The food was delicious, and our server was very nice and attentive.

First thing I noticed was it smelled like a hamster cage. My order was taken timely but then a couple sat next to me the waitress knew, so coincidentally they got their entire meal and appetizers before I got my over cooked burger most likely forgotten on the grille. Only time I got the waitress attention was when she checked in on her friends. Nice atmosphere, but the smell of ventilation issues and possible mold is concerning. Along with flies

I really like this place. It's cool to chill out with a cocktail

If you want to be ignored by an archaic bartender who thinks you're lucky to be here, or 20-something's who pay more attention to their phones than the customers, this is the place for you!.. The food might be mediocre, but at least you'll pay premium prices... The only reason to come here, is the outdoor area...Summertime happy hours are fun... But with all the other fantastic restaurants nearby, I don't understand why people dine here...

Doylestown you are fastly becoming one of my favorite places to eat out. 86 West was no exception. It all started with the Buffalo chicken flatbread - dare I say I've haven't had better anywhere else? Seasoned perfectly textured flatbread, topped with arugula, cheeses, juicy chicken, and the most tasty buffalo sauce. The burger well cooked perfectly seasoned and still juicy. The chicken sandwich I can't rave as much about as it was basically a a bland chicken sandwich, but the rest of the food was so good I can't quite complain. After all it's a chicken sandwich. The place seems to specialize in mostly sushi, so that alone makes me even more impressed with the "American fare". Attentive servers and a warm inviting atmosphere. A must try when in DTown.

I would give zero stars, if I could. We were seated next door to the restaurant, in a noisy bar area, even though we had a reservation and asked to be seated in the main area. The food took forever and it was cold, probably because it came from next door. Do not waste your money on the overpriced bar food here.

I love it more every single time I eat here! The service is very lovely, it's never too crammed in there, the food is great. The only thing is that the food is just a bit pricey for the portions, I could probably get the same tasting sushi at Ooka for 5 bucks cheaper. Although, this place is great.

The service is fantastic. The bartender was knowledgeable & courteous. The sushi chef, Alyssa, was cordial, and knew her craft. The vibe is a bit confusing; there is an identity crisis here, in my honest opinion. Is it a sports bar? Is it fine dining? Why so many TVs? I ordered oysters & Sushi - both are/were excellent. I would recommend coming here. Everything seems to be pretty good. No real complaints. My humblest regards, k.david

Very nice place to go have a drink and a variety of food. We had a California roll and a shrimp roll. We came at 2:30 and ate lightly. Service was great. I had a local lager. They have plenty of beers on tap. IPA good's to choose from. Very limited parking. On street parking or a block away is a parking lot. Pricing was in line with other Doylestown eateries. Nice looking bar. Outside seating available. Take credit cards. Certainly worth a visit.

Absolutely love my experience at 86 on Sundays when Kat is bartending. Her personality is always so welcoming and her attention to making our experience memorable each time ! Also so willing to help us find a great new drink and makes great recommendations as well!! She is a great bartender and a master in her field !! It's all about the great experience and she makes it that each and every time !! Phyllis & Susan

We went since my daughter has been before and wanted to have us try it. Had the jalapeño margarita - which I get at any place that offers - and was quite disappointed. Tasted like a water downed mix with chunks of peppers thrown in - for $12.50. Appetizer of lobster and crab dip was excellent but not nearly enough pita to spread the dip. Of course the server offered additional pita (at a cost which I assumed but she did not mention). She also upsold a member of our party on fries instead of the house salad. Main course was fine. Two different sushi rolls and a hamburger - which was not cooked to specifics (asked for medium well but quite pink on the inside). Sushi was fine. Have now been, don't think I would need to go back.

Great menu variety and atmosphere. The server was very kind and patient with any food allergy concerns I had. Sushi was fresh and flavorful.

I was disappointed our waiter was rude and was not helpful at all .. I ordered the buffalo shrimp he brought us the wrong appetizer and had an attitude about it . I was confused then I asked for my stake to be cooked medium well .. it was well done:( I asked for a Coke and again he had a horrible attitude!! I didn't drive 45 minutes away pay to park and pay a 112 billl for this ! Very disappointed

We visited with a group of people and sat in the corner of the bar since no tables were available, and it turned out to be a successful lunch. Cheesesteak wrap was delicious and would highly recommend that! We shared many appetizers and they were all perfect... Mac b cheese bites, phenomenal Brussel sprouts, loaded waffle fries were yummy, delish sushi, pizza and shoestring fries! If you ever travel back to the area, we would visit again! The only reason for four stars and not five was we all felt the greeters were not friendly.

Bob was our server and he was great. I swear he had ultrasonic hearing or my group was just loud enough for him to catch us discussing our menu selections. Me and a friend shared sushi rolls while others enjoyed their salmon entree. All in all, I'd come back.

Went for a quick lunch and picked this spot because we wanted to sit outside which is beautiful by the way. The food was fantastic, some of the best sushi I have had in awhile with flawless service. I would highly recommend it.

Very good food, the only issue is that the tables are very small. I see they needed the space because it was packed for a Sunday. The inside was very nice as well. Our waitress was very attentive & friendly. We ordered the filet sliders, mac and cheese bites, godzilla roll, lobster roll (I can't think of the name, but it was my favorite), kids mac n cheese, kids chicken fingers. Overall everything was good. The kids enjoyed as did we.

Sushi restaurant in Downtown Doylestown. The place has a nice outdoor setting venue as well as indoor seating. The happy hour specials are pretty good: 2 for $28 dollar sushi is a great deal. I like the speciality drinks as well. The Caramel Apple and Cinnamon Toast Crunch were very tasty and are on the happy hour menu. The spicy salmon was pretty good as a roll. The service was quick and the server was very nice. If you are into the nightlife, this place becomes pretty popping at nighttime for the locals (I haven't done that in years....but back in my youth....I highly recommended this place).

Amazing sushi!!! love this place great people great owner!!! def a must!!! Live music is always nice with a glass of S.Pellegrino :)

I had a very uncomfortable time here. I had to get my food to go after it came out because the clientele at the bar was very drunk and talking about politics very loudly. It was not a nice place to be and have dinner. The food was OK . Service was slow and the bartender should've had a little more help.

We were a party of 4 woman who had a reservation on Sunday February 18, 2024. We ordered an appetizer, which was a bowl of Brussel Sprouts and we also lettuce wraps. The Brussel Sprouts came out before the lettuce wraps. We never received appetizer plates and the 4 of us had to eat directly out of the bowl so the brussel sprouts wouldn't be cold. Totally unacceptable and disgraceful on your restaurant for not bringing plates with the appetizer. When the lettuce wraps came out we had to ask for appetizer plates. Why should customers have to ask when it is common sense? After we were done dinner we were sitting and chatting and catching up. That is when the hostess with long straight hair NOT a manager a hostess came over to our table and asked as us to leave as a party was waiting. That should have been a managers job not some young girl. However there were multiple tables empty. After the hostess left our table she went into the kitchen and when she came out of the kitchen she looked my way and gave me a dirty look. I guess the waitress wanted to go home. However she had other tables with people sitting there longer than us. If they needed the table a manager should have come to the table not a young girl with an attitude. Who was asked to do that by the waitress This treatment is not how you treat customers that are paying to eat at your establishment.

Server was amazing and so friendly. Ambiance is fun especially the outdoor seating! Great people watching. The food was pretty good! Cauliflower app was 9.5/10 def recommend, the truffle mushroom flatbread was okay, I've definitely had better I would say 7/10. I wouldnt go just for the food but the nice atmosphere makes up for it.

86 West is part of the reason we moved to this area all the way from Los Angeles. We came here with our parents last November while touring homes and it was the best meal and best restaurant experience we've had in years. We still think and talk about it. Incredible cocktails, impeccable service, and outstanding food. We've been overwhelmed with unpacking and upgrading builder-grade elements of our first home, but the second we can, we'll be back for another amazing meal. I'm very surprised to see some of the reviews that read like they were written by graduates of the Karen Academy. Management responds to every single one of them seeking rectification. If they didn't care, they wouldn't respond. Those reviews are unwarranted and I recommend those diners move to LA for the stuffy, pomp and circumstance experience that they seem to seek.

Everytime we're in the neighborhood, I can not miss coming here! Oysters are always super fresh and delicious. Steaks however are a complete hit or miss and that depends on whos is the kitchen. I would also avoid the sushi. I'm a sushi snob. Sushi is way too loaded with rice and not appetizing at all. Tried the Angus burger for the first time recently, absolutely delicious. Chocolate flourless cake.. you can not miss trying it! Same goes with the cheesecake. Same baker makes and she's absolutely an artist. She perfected both desserts.

Ended up at 86 West when I intended to go elsewhere but that establishment had closed over New Year's weekend. Sat at the bar and after perusing their mediocre beer selection, tired cocktail list settled on a NZ Sauvignon Blanc. I ended up ordering seared Ahi, potstickers and a so called Sushi platter. The seared Ahi was crying out for sauce and flavor. The potstickers were well browned but the filling was flavorless and the so called Ponzu sauce was dreadful. The sushi platter had four pieces of sushi, and a California roll. The biggest issue was value or lack there of. 24 dollars for a California roll with four pieces of sushi that were supermarket quality? The wine was 11 dollars for a small pour. The potstickers could have been from a freezer. Total bill was over 90 dollars. Service epitomized the word indifferent. Took forever to order anything let alone for it to come back from the kitchen. The bartender spent more time on their cellphone than talking to customers. Doylestown deserves better.

We stopped to get a quick dinner here. Service was ok (no greeting from hostess, someone tried to cut in front of us and they acknowledged them, etc). Food was presented well and overall great even if it wasn't our favorite flavor wise. We had a waitstaff change that was an issue because we had food restrictions that were not communicated. Place was hopping though, so I wouldn't base anything on our single experience.

This place is just really, really good. Every time I visit I am never disappointed. The sushi is always great , filet sliders were very good and the wings were fabulous... the service is always top notch and it is well regarded as the place to be in Doylestown! They have great happy hours and it is a great place to end the day !

We wound up here for lunch on a random Monday - it was by default because 90% of Doylestown seems to be closed on Mondays, so smart on their part To be open. So glad we wound up here because everything was delicious!! A very eclectic mixed menu, we decided to get a bunch of appetizer plates to share. They have weekly specials so we tried the Monday dish which was a filet mug on and mozzarella plate - it was good, not sure I would order again. Steak cooked perfectly but it had some random cream sauce on top. The mozzarella was fried and the two didn't go well together but eaten separately they weren't bad just wasn't my thing. The fried zucchini sticks were perfectly crunchy and the wasabi aioli was the perfect amount of spice. Boneless wings were good and the sauce wasn't too overpowering. Lastly was the lettuce wraps they were delicious and it was a lot of food!!!! We even took home leftovers and had no room for dessert. The waiter was a sweetheart and the atmosphere is great. Overall we will def return to try more dishes!

The staff were polite and the ambience was nice. The food however, was not great. It looked ok, but the taste was off for almost every dish my family ate. The fish had a weird taste like chlorinated water and neither the sushi, nor fish and chips, was finished. The Kobe burger was a pretty average burger as well. I would say the drinks are decent but I think the flavor of the food was such a miss I can't bring myself to give it more then 2 stars. Had high hopes.

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at 86 West last night. Went to dinner with an old friend I hadn't seen in years. We told the server right off the bat that we weren't in a hurry and not only did she not rush us at all, but she was perfectly attentive to drinks and apps and timing. We stayed so long that the place actually closed and we were waiting for them to ask us to leave, but they never did. It was so nice not to be rushed at all. For the record it was a Tuesday night and they were busy but not full. I wish I remembered the server's name because she really was exceptional! I should probably mention now that we didn't order from their extensive Sushi menu. You'll have to read the other reviews if you want to know more about that, but from the quality and flavor of food we did order, I can't imagine the Sushi to be anything but excellent. I ordered the Cobb Salad and added grilled chicken on top. I love Cobb salads and this one ranked right up there with the best of them. The salad came with what I believe was house-made ranch dressing. The consistency and taste were just too perfect to be out of a bottle. My friend had the steak salad and loved it. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked. If you're looking for a great meal experience in the Doylestown area, I whole-heartedly recommend 86 West!

86 West has been our 'home away from home' dining experience for a few years and it was always 5 stars. This evening we waited a lo-o-ng time for our dinner without any reassurances from the staff. But our server was very pleasant and professional. The meal was super (overly) spicy hot this time, we've ordered those Tai noodles several times. Also, the last time we were here the California roll wasn't up to par. Maybe the chef is new and just learning the menu. But the vibe is still excellent, and the desserts are still the best in town. We'll come back!

One of the more poorly crafted menus I've ever seen. And the food is just plain "Line Cook Food". Fun place to drink and would give the bar 4 stars. But the food is underwhelming to say the least.

Always so smokey in the outside bar. It is shocking that's still allowed, and it is gross. Seems really out of step with the rest of Doylestown.

I just got mac and cheese. this is a nice restaurant I though. there is absolutly no reason why my mac and cheese was as shit as it was. I expected a lot better especially for the price of of what I thought to be bussin mac and cheese. find a new mac and cheese maker asap!

Visited on Saturday after tour of Mercer museum! What a cool place! Drinks were outstanding served by our gracious bartender Brittany who makes a great jalapeño margarita! We ordered the sushi combo.. so good and fresh and then the buffalo boneless chicken wings...super tasty! What a great visit we'll be back! Bravo!

Maybe I'm spoiled from moving here from the NYC area. When you walk into the place--the setup is really nice. Looks like a nice place to grab a sophisticated meal and drinks. We came in on a Saturday night. FYI-kitchen closes by 9:30, so you have to put your orders in quick. There's an outdoor area that looks cool, but most patrons appeared college aged or so. And it turns somewhat nightclub-ish after 9 pm. We felt somewhat old, even though we're just in our late 30s. We found the food to be somewhat flavorless--more like pub food, despite the previous Yelp reviews. I don't think there's another place like this in doylestown with the type of ambience/vibe. Hopefully we just caught it on an off day. We'll try it out again.

I'm not sure how this place doesn't have 5 stars all the way around. We went here for my birthday to try something new and that look somewhat kid friendly. We were pleasantly surprised on how big the restaurant was, and on a Monday night, not busy at all so we were able to sit in the back of the restaurant almost in our own private area. The waitress was super nice and helpful. The food was amazing and I'm going to be honest, I wasn't expecting the sushi to be any good mainly because most places I've tried in the past (if not all) when they have a menu this big and they include sushi, it turns out to be a disaster, so after reading some of the reviews we weren't expecting much but boy we were wrong! Their drinks are grate (Moscow Mules!!) and their sushi is simply one of the best I've ever tried (and I love sushi, eat it all the time!). Their fried zucchini was super tasty, the soup of the day as well, the creme brûlée was just like the sushi THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD!... Everything was amazing and we will definitely go back!

I have been here a few times and always had a good experience - came with an adult friend, alone and with my your child. All three experiences were really good and not many places can pull that off.

We had my 40th birthday party in their private room upstairs. The owner and staff we very accommodating and great to work with during the planning and the event. The food and drinks were also really good. I will definitely book another party there in the future. Thanks

Just really awful. Don't know where to start. Plastic cups for soy, an undrinkable margarita, A cooked roll that was fried but somehow came out cold. Wine glass was filthy, lips stick on rim and the entire outside of the glass had stuff on it. Just kind of gross place, it's meant to be high end- which it is so far from it that is weird. Service was ok.

Have lived near this spot for years and heard nothing but good things about this place. Kept putting off coming here though because of the reputation for being expensive Finally put together a night with a bunch of friends and family to try it out and was super disappointed. To start, everything was massively overpriced for the quality of the food. The sushi and other menu itmes were mediocre at best, not worth even half of what they were priced at The fries for instance were actual macdonalds fries. I dont know if they simply have the same supplier or if they bought them there and reheated them in the restaurant but that alone was a big red flag The drinks were of college dorm quality at best and were served in exclusively regular drink glasses I suspect mold in the ice maker or dirty glassware or something along those lines also as the water and ice had an awful off putting flavor to them There are plenty of sushi places in the area that serve better quality sushi for nearly half the price. After years and years of eating sushi not once have I ever found an actual bone in it. This was a first. After nearly chipping my tooth on it, I realized that not only was it a bone, but it was very questionably even a fish bone as it was far to thick and rigid to be like most fish bones When I brought it up to the server, I was told I could get a free dessert item because of the bone. I didnt want dessert but the server insisted so I caved and picked one out anyway. Would have meant a lot to at least have not been charged on that sushi. But apparently in their eyes a "free" $7 dessert that they probably needed to get rid of before it expired more than makes up for the $22 worth of boney sushi To cap it all off. They had grocery store bought kikoman soy sauce bottles on the table for the sushi. A minor detail, but given the price of the food and everything else I certainly expected better As for the positives? The waitress was nice and timely, the music and ambiance were decent, and the restrooms were cleaned and smelled nice which is why Im not giving it one star. There are far better spots in Doylestown to spend your hard earned money

I would give this place a 3.5 mainly because of the food. The ambiance is very nice for girls night or date night. The outdoor seating area is very cute too! However, the food needs some flavor especially the mushroom truffle flatbread. We started off with the fried cauliflower which was decent with the aioli. We had 3 rolls of specialty sushi next (Black Widow, Lobster Blast and the last one has Crunchin in its name) and they were yummy. The sushi wait was 45 mins but we were told this in advance. We ended with the flatbread cus we are still hungry. The service was good and the jalapeño margarita is soooo fire! I would highly recommend.

Finally got to try this place! It has really cute outdoor seating area and indoors it has a bar with a few TVs for games. The mushroom truffle pizza was so good. I also got one of the special tuna rolls and it was really good. They also had a great watermelon margarita. Would definitely come back to try some other sushis or the salads. Note the vegetarian options are very very limited.

Sorry this place doesn't cut it for sushi. The rolls were tasteless and had strange combinations that are more in the style of "Japanese-style" and less authentic. So for example a shrimp tempura roll is rolled with cucumber--not complimentary flavors. Moreover they aren't a very family friendly place. When I have to change my baby's diaper on the dirty floor and then have to wait waaay too long for the server to bring me my check while my baby starts to throw a tantrum...I kind of want to shout. A kid's menu isn't really "kid friendly," but the food did come quickly. I didn't try the American food so I can't review that.

We sat in the patio area which is in its own section away from the streets of Doylestown. The ambience of the restaurant is pleasant and relaxed. There is happy hour between 4-6 pm so you can get half off the drink specials. The drinks are very good. We ordered three dishes to share. We got the small plate Mac and cheese which was okay but needed seasoning. It was difficult to notice the different cheeses in the dish. We enjoyed the chicken lettuce wraps and the pepperoni flatbread. Flatbread was a good portion size and it was my favorite among the three dishes. Service was great as well.

Dine in and takeout during Covid. We came here with 6 other people. All of the food was really good, but at same time I was whelmed. Nothing knocked my socks off and at times service was slow at times and a bit scattered. Two of us weren't given soy sauce or chopsticks for the sushi. My "86 burger" was good but also seemed to be missing another pass with the aioli. On the whole it was a good meal but the company was better than the food.

Stopped in here and on a quiet afternoon and ordered some sushi and cocktails. Full review with video experience at 86 West. https://youtu.be/Uh-ha6aclSU

We are at 86 on Friday night. Shane was our server and he was terrific. Well, if you want the best scollops, prepared perfectly, this is your answer! The sea scollops are the size of a small filet with the perfect caramelized sear. We also had the duck which was served on a bed of cauliflower and it was great. Don't miss the buffalo shrimp as an appetizer. Everyone was really nice with the best martinis in Bucks County. 86 West just keeps better and better! The freshest food and cooked perfectly. Keep up the great work. The management team and all the wait staff are gracious. If you are in Doylestown do not miss this plac.

86 West offers a happy hour special with discounted drinks and bar snacks. We were seated for happy hour on a wobbly and awkward high top. Seeing as the restaurant was deserted, I asked to move to a regular table and was denied. Ugh. Apparently to get the discounted food, you have to sit at the rowdy and crowded bar. This was an annoying technicality and we agreed to pay for full price food to have table service. I ordered a Founders IPA, which was decent; however the beer selection was relatively limited with 6 choices on tap. For the food, I split the boneless wings and fish and chips. The wings were a-okay with a decent amount of spiciness. The fish and chips were terrible. The frozen fish was saturated, stale and greasy and the fries also tasted off. The piece I tried was grey and scaly and repulsive. I pointed this out to the waitstaff and she shrugged and agreed that it was nasty - but no comp or free dessert. I wanted to get out of there and didn't ask for a manager. And it wasn't that cheap either.

We booked a birthday party for 14 when the limo dropped us the restaurant was closed! No call no message We understand a power outage but no Call and no help getting some scheduled The manager Drew was unreachable and no response I live in Doylestown and would not recommend this restaurant

Update: returned again. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. We had the seafood crepe (special), calamari, son had sliders, husband had burger and I had the seafood bisque. All excellent. Outdoor seating made it even better. Good. I had the lobster sushi roll. It was good but it lacked something. A crunch perhaps? Son had spinach and goat cheese flatbread minus the truffle oil and mushrooms.it was great. Hubby had burger and fries and loved it. Very good service too. I'll go back.

Efficient waitress as well as knowledgable food runner, a rare combination where we had the tuna tartar, as well as three other rolls, I'm sure all rolls served there are good. Hot day this past Saturday and the waitress just kept pouring the water. Might be my favorite place in D Town.
