HIROKI Philadelphia

“The food here is absolutely worthy of a Michelin star. Everything was fresh, unique, explained well, and, most importantly, delicious! I love how they’d rather you be comfortable eating than for you to pretend like you know what you’re doing. Everyone is treated equally here whether you’ve tasted ponzu sauce or not. They will explain what you’re eating and how to eat each course. I recommend this place for people who don’t mind spending on quality and who have a pallet sensitive enough to appreciate refined Japanese cuisine. I removed a star from their service because apparently they do something nice for people on their birthdays, and we were skipped, although it was noted in our reservation. Recommend pairing sake and whiskey to go with the Wagyu. You won’t regret it! Also, go check out the bathroom while you’re there! They really brought the best parts of Japan to Philly!”

“Had a great experience at Hikori Sushi. The sushi was fresh, service was excellent, and we did the wine pairing which made the whole meal a really unique experience. Highly recommend.”

“Last night we did the 21 piece seasonal omakase with sake and I'm so glad we did. It was technically excellent, creative and fun. World class. An absolute must. I hope the chef didn't mind that I couldn't eat the last few pieces. Luckily, my dinner companion was thrilled to help! Can't wait to come back. Thanks so much for great service and a memorable evening!”

“This was our first omakase dinner experience ever and we absolutely loved it. Watching the preparation was an art form in itself. Every dish was amazing and fresh and well thought out. An incredible and unique experience for sure. This was some of the best sushi we had ever had. The toro, the Black Sea bass, the sea eel, it was all just incredible. Do not skip this place if you like omakase.”

“BEWARE BEWARE! Unfair Cancellation Fee Experience I recently had a very disappointing experience with this restaurant. I had to cancel my reservation because I tested positive for COVID-19 and was too sick to attend. I tried calling to explain the situation, but no one answered or returned my calls. Despite giving more than 24 hour + notice, I was still charged a cancellation fee for a dinner I never even attended. For a so called michelin star omakase if they are not getting a fresh delivery every morning then everyone is eating DAY OLD fish EWWW! It’s incredibly unfair to penalize someone under those circumstances, especially when there was legitimate notice and a valid health reason. I would have expected a more understanding and responsive approach, particularly given today’s environment. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression and I don’t plan on booking here again. They didn't even call me back, they wont even return my email look at the images they just shoot the email around the company. No acknowledgement at all.”
