    Came back after more than ten years and the food is still very good. The A5 wagyu and the toro are excellent as was the sparkling sake. The katsu and udon are delicious and the tamari chocolate dessert with sesame ice cream was creative and tasty. Service was attentive, informative, and efficient. All in all, a mainstay in the Philly restaurant scene that you can't go wrong with.

    It is wonderful to finally have a sushi restaurant nearby with an elegant atmosphere to enjoy fresh and creatively displayed sushi! The interior has a city vibe with relaxed lighting, comfortable spacious booths, and an awesome bar area for cocktails. The sushi rolls we ordered were so flavorful and I liked that they were not thick with rice on the exterior. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service was excellent.

    This was our second visit to the Bryn Mawr restaurant. Our normal go-to has been the Berwyn location for many years. The Bryn Mawr restaurant is every bit as good as Berwyn and we recommend either. Haven’t tried the Royersford location yet but I’m sure it is every bit as good as it’s sister locations.

    Made a reservation for a birthday party, server was phenomenal, staff was very kind, restaurant was clean and food was awesome. Great assortment of options for a group with mixed dietary restrictions and allergies. Also server made sure to bring back cooler bag and all the cold packs I had brought with the cake at the end of our meal. Great time had by entire group.
