💎 Hidden Gem Alert on Jewelers Row! 💎
On July 4th, while the fireworks were popping off overhead, my taste buds were having their own celebration at Koto Sushi. Nestled among the sparkle of Philly’s Jewelers Row, this place is a culinary gem in its own right.
Let’s talk macro mackerel sushi sashimi - a notoriously tough act to pull off. But Koto? They didn’t just pull it off, they performed a high-wire act with a wasabi kick. Fresh, bold, and beautifully plated, it was the kind of sushi that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate the melt-in-your-mouth experience.
It might not be Japanese-run, but don’t let that fool you, the flavors are dangerously close to Tokyo-level. Friendly service, chill vibes, and a menu that punches way above its weight.
✨ Verdict: If you’re in the neighborhood and craving sushi that slaps, skip the diamonds and go straight for the toro.
Put a ring on it? Nah, put some uni on it😉.
