Best Japanese Restaurants in West Philadelphia

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.

I love this place. The price for the value is good, the sushi is always fresh, staff is friendly, and they have a decent variety without it being overwhelming choices.

We had a great experience from start to finish. Every piece of Omakase we received was fresh and delicious! Each piece was crafted uniquely and was paired perfectly with other ingredients. The ambiance was a fun vibe! Staff went above and beyond for my husband and I. We also ordered A la carte pieces that were not apart of the omakase package. I highly recommend trying the Big Mac, Toro Negi roll, and the Spicy Salmon Yuzo Roll (this is spicy if you like heat). Everything paired nicely with The Yamazaki. We’ll definitely return back!

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.

We had an amazing outdoor seating experience at Timo. We love the BYOB option and enjoyed all the creative sushi roll options. The presentation and flavor of our picks were incredible. Huge kudos to the host as he handled a drunken customer situation to perfection. He not only stayed calm, but he brought the customer outside and attempted to help him order for several minutes before offering him different dining options nearby. At the end when the drunken man (at 7 pm) walked away he cursed at the host. The host stayed professional and returned to work with no questions or retort to the drunk. I really hope the host is shown this review and congratulated on his skill and work ethic!
