The 16 Best Japanese Restaurants In Philly

The Infatuation | Candis R. McLean | August 8, 2024

Unlike some other Japanese spots on this list, Kaiseki in Callowhill is strictly about sushi. You can’t dine-in here so you have to take your order to go—we recommend heading over to nearby Franklin Square if it’s nice out. The most expensive roll on the menu is $20, and most maki come topped with things like bright red chili thread, wasabi tobiko, and a sweet and sour umeboshi tahini dressing. If you need to feed a group, they have options like their large combo platters that range from $17-$28 and can be filled with nigiri topped with caviar, otoro handrolls with daikon sprouts, and tuna maki.
