A delightful small restaurant experience. Only about 20 tables inside, doubling with the outdoor capacity under their tent. Each item is interestingly elevated. Rock shrimp has a smoked paprika flavor. Sweet potato roll has mango and other refreshing elements. Crab wonton was actual crab. Service was good, and a chef even came by to see if we were liking the food and talked to us about where some of our choices came from and how fresh it had been.

We ordered two special rolls of sushi, and a pork bun for appetizer. They all came out great, service is very on point, they were welcoming, seated us immediately. The outdoor space as well, lit, ventilated, cleaned. This place is BYOB, servers are very attentive, and bring you the wine glass right away.

This place is in such a cute little nook in Northern Liberties. I would highly recommend, the food was so delicious. We had chicken teriyaki and a couple sushi rolls that were all so fresh and tasty. The service was great, and BYOB helps save some on the bill. Will definitely be going back again and ordering takeout as that was very busy.

Love Sushi, traveled all over for work. Best Sushi in the neighborhood, and area in my opinion. Hikari is and has been our go to place since they’ve taken over several years ago. Thank you. The secret is somewhat out, but will always go. Nicest owner, family and staff. Go n judge for yourself. Must tries are Rock Shrimp, Crab Wonton, Spruncy.

Booked a reservation about 2 hrs before and was seated immediately. It’s a small restaurant with seating outdoors. Parking a little scarce and tight in the area. Served bottled water for those interested. Ordered rock shrimp tempura, edamame, amberjack, bluefin toro special, lava, vine and chicken teriyaki. If you love toro, get their special. Very smooth and fresh. Everything arrived pretty quickly considering how busy they were. Rolls were amazing and beautifully presented. Chicken teriyaki came with rice, asparagus and sweet potato fries. Chicken was on the dry side so we could have caught them on an off day. Owner/manager checked on us twice and provided mochi ice cream for the kids which was a wonderful gesture. Overall staff was friendly and food was excellent and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I went there on Saturday night with my girlfriend. Ordered edamame and crab wontons to start. For dinner, I ordered a spider roll and shrimp tempura roll. The food was okay, not great. Didn’t even Finish it. Later that night I came home with a stomachache. Spent the entire night throwing up. It’s now Monday and I still feel sick from that meal.

Great place with good outdoor seating. The sushi was perfect and the miso soup and salmon teryaki were excellent as well. My father and I enjoyed it very much.

Very cozy, intimate setting and in a great area. Wonderful food and service—reasonable prices too! Sometimes difficult to find parking, but well worth it!
