"Despite the fact that this Philadelphia-born izakaya has a menu the length of a coronation roll, Double Knot doesn’t overcomplicate its food. Our favorite bites here are simple grilled things on skewers, and the sushi is good, too. Ordering a la carte for a group can feel daunting, but five to seven plates per person should result in a satisfying meal. You can also opt for the $68 tasting menu if—and this is very understandable—you simply want to avoid the task of ordering a long list of dishes." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

Ordering a la carte for a group can feel daunting, but five to seven plates per person should result in a satisfying meal. You’ll forget that the sun is out if you come for happy hour (5-7pm) because the stained glass windows keep out the light (and make it feel like a room where Gatsby would drink gin rickeys if he were alive and real). You can also opt for the $68 tasting menu if—and this is very understandable—you simply want to avoid the task of ordering a long list of dishes. photo credit: Double Knot Food Rundown Edamame Dumpling An entire bowl of edamame, conveniently packed into four little dumplings. The flavor of edamame is there, but it’s the texture that makes this dish. The inside of each dumpling has the silkiness of potato purée. photo credit: Neal Santos Japanese Scallop We’d come back just for these simple bites of scallop grilled to perfection. photo credit: Mariana Trabanino Spicy Baked Scallop & Crab Anything with scallops here is a safe bet. This crab mixture, which is spicy the same way buffalo wings are spicy, is another delicious example. Cheesesteak Bao Just because this restaurant is from Philadelphia doesn’t mean you have to order the most Philadelphia-sounding thing on the menu. The side of marinara is too sweet and the cheesesteak filling gets lost in the bao. photo credit: Mariana Trabanino Duck Leg Two meaty legs with a hint of sweetness from the glaze they brush on top. No notes. PlayMute video credit: Julia Malave Japanese Fried Chicken These crispy nuggets are an easy plate to share with a group. Give it a little lemon squeeze and go crazy with whatever sauces are on your table for some taste roulette. Berkshire Pork Tonkatsu It’s one of the few bigger entrees they have and also works for sharing with the table. It’s fine, but not as impressive as the robatayaki options. photo credit: Mariana Trabanino Soft Serve The miso caramel and chocolate swirl are fine until you find out it’s free—then it tastes even better.

"Chef Michael Schulson brings his Philadelphia izakaya Double Knot to Wynwood. Located in the former Wynwood Kitchen & Bar space, the restaurant offers sushi, sashimi, and grilled items in a gorgeous midcentury space. The cheesesteak bao buns, served with a piquant red pepper relish, are a subtle nod to the restaurant’s Philly roots and are a must-order. Double Knot is adjacent to Wynwood Walls, so diners have a magnificent view of the famed graffiti art as they enjoy their food and cocktails on the patio." - Laine Doss
