Yanaga Kappo-Izakaya

“Dinner is always excellent here, but I especially wanted to recognize Alicia and Zack for making our visits truly memorable. We had them as servers on two separate occasions, and both provided outstanding service from start to finish. Their drink and dinner recommendations were spot on, and their friendly, engaging personalities made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. We’re already looking forward to coming back and seeing them again!”

“I had the chicken katsu curry, and my husband had the tantan mazemen, and we shared a California roll. The corner seat was perfect and the food was absolutely stellar. I love all the vegetables in the curry too!! The California roll had the most flavorful crab meat I've ever had for a more affordable price. It was really good and I can't wait to be back when I'm back in Philly.”

“Great food overall! We ordered a little bit of everything and most of it really hit the spot. The chicken katsu curry was divine and the spicy tuna rice crispy was even better. The kaarage fried chicken was delicious and perfectly cooked. Yki fries were pretty addicting. The blistered shishito peppers were nice and simple. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the veggie sando. Service was great so it’s definitely worth a visit.”

“My third time back and Yanaga, and it didn't disappoint! I love the mini tasting they offer - such a great deal since I can't always spring for the full omakase. The sushi is fresh and delicious, the cocktails are creative and complex, and the happy hour deals are so worth it! I tried the wagyu hot dog for the first time and even though I came there for the raw fish, that was a standout menu item for me. The ambiance is laid back and fun, never pretentious. The waitresses and friendly and knowledgeable and never made me feel rushed. I already can't wait to be back!”

“I appreciate studio Ghibli being paid on all the TVs. The drinks were really great, and the food was pretty good. Wish the Cudo was a bit fresher and they had more meaty shrimps.”
