    This Asian restaurant has a variety of sushi, rolls, rice dishes, and soups. I tried their Sweet 16 roll with shrimp, fried banana, and lobster salad- it was an interesting combo and I'd recommend it if you like a sweet and savory combo. I also tried their Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice which is easy 10/10. Got the Thai iced tea which was refreshing and sweet. The restaurant was cute and fancy/trendy. Service was good- did experience a little bit of a language barrier but overall the staff were attentive and professional.

    Ambiance is very good. Very trendy. Nice architecture and furniture. The agedashi tofu was delicately fried. I liked that the breading was not deep fried and thick. The tofu was silken. The edamame is good. No complaints. All the sashimi and sushi we ordered was a la carte. The presentation was beautiful. The fish was fresh. Just wished maybe they were a little more firm. Maybe they were not as cold. Also wish the seaweed was crispier. I would come back on a weekend because they probably get fish shipment on Friday. I came on a Monday evening. They also said on weekends they have more special fishes. I would also like to try the tempura ice cream next time The fried rice was very good. The beef was tender and they cut it into smaller pieces for my son. The service was really good. The waitress just forgot to explain that special fishes like uni, Ikura and amai ebi you can not +$1 for three pieces. The staff is super nice. I would definitely come back. I would like to come back during the weekend for more specials. They are BYOB. Very happy to have another Asian restaurant in this area.

    Rainbow Brite Roll
    Natanya G.

    Seated immediately for lunch. Very nice looking restaurant, ambiance fits well. Very clean as well. Ordered a rainbow brite roll - delish. A good amount of flavor, crunch Also ordered the garlic steak bites appetizer. Was not asked how I'd like them cooked so I just went with it. I'm a rare steak girly. Unfortunately these were very overcooked but the flavor was there, but I could not eat them. Would have liked a little ginger dipping sauce to go with as well for a little zing.

    Food, service and restaurant were all good. Rainbow, tuna avocado, and tom yum soup. Now just typing stuff to meet yelp mininum

    CHI Roll

    Everything was excellent, the food, service and ambiance. We'll be coming back and telling people about how great of an experience we had. It being BYOB is just the icing on the cake.

    Tricolor sushi entree
    Meredith S.

    The first time we ordered I got the lady gaga roll and a spicy salmon roll which were both good. My husband got a spicy tuna roll which was inedible. So bad we couldn't even swallow it, I think the fish had gone bad. I risked it and gave it another chance ordering the tricolor sushi entree and the kids sesame chicken meal. Second time around was great. Sushi was tender and fresh and the kids meal was a great deal for $13. Still hesitant to get anything with their spicy tuna though

    Well decorated, nice ambiance, clean table, dishes, and bathroom. Perfect service and the server and owner were very kind and friendly. Food was served very quickly and with beautiful presentation. The sushi was so fresh and the portions were generous and well-priced! Perfect sushi restaurant, highly recommend.

    Thai Ice Tea
    Lauren D.

    Went here last night for dinner for the first time and already planning our next visit to try more things. The Thai iced tea was refreshing and very tasty. The sushi and sashimi platter was excellent quality and the presentation was beautiful as well. The service was attentive and quick. I can't wait to come back.

    Chicken Fried Rice
    Debbi M.

    The food was delicious and presentation was well done. Service was excellent and atmosphere was very nice. We had scallion pancakes, Tom Yum Goon soup, Philadelphia Roll, Surf Clam Sushi, Chicken Fried Rice and Pad Thai, very yummy. Som many choices on the menu we must go back to try.

    Chikara Asian Bistro

    I've been there twice now since it opened. Both times absolutely delicious! Tom yum and Hit and Sour soup both very good! Rainbow roll was super fresh. Pineapple fried rice ... yum! Definitely recommend. Plus, very nice decor. Would never guess from the outside that there was a spacious and charming dining area. Give it a try!

    If you're in the mood for an exceptional Asian fusion experience, Azie in Media, PA, is a gem…read morethat's sure to impress. Conveniently located on the corner of Orange and State, it's easy to find and even easier to fall in love with. The inviting glow of its windows draws you in from the street, where the hum of passing cars and the trolley mixes with the lively chatter. Stepping inside, the open and vibrant ambiance envelops you w/ soft lighting casting a warm hue over sleek tables, and an ancient brick wall while the subtle scent of ginger and soy wafts from the kitchen. Last night I ordered their sushi and sashimi platter, and it was nothing short of fresh and delightful. Each piece was as tasty as the next. Talking vibrant slices of ruby-red tuna and pale pink salmon, artfully arranged with ginger and a nice dollop of fiery wasabi. Biting in, each melted in my mouth with that perfect balance of flavors. The briny ocean freshness of the sashimi mingling with the subtle umami of soy sauce, while the sushi rice offered a slight chewiness that contrasted beautifully with the tender cuts. Service was attentive and welcoming, with staff gliding efficiently through the rooms. Their friendliness adding to the overall experience. For sushi, fresh and tasty this side of the pacific rim, Azie is a standout that'll have me back.

    We had a very pleasant meal here with some good friends during our brief trip to Philadelphia…read more They suggested this place because they are familiar with one of the chefs, and we're always up for a new Asian fusion dining experience. We were seated right at our reservation time on the second level. We appreciated the bright lighting that seems to be lacking in a lot of restaurants these days. Our server greeted us warmly, took our drinks order, and gave us plenty of time to consider the menu as we caught up with each other. There are certainly a lot of different ways you can go here. They have an interesting array of signature rolls plus more traditional rolls, nigiri, and sashimi platters, but also a nice selection of appetizers, noodle and rice dishes, salads, entrees, and even Italian-style pastas. We ended choosing a selection of appetizers and rolls. Cucumber seaweed salad - ponzu dressing with a spicy aioli, this was fresh and crispy and quite good Crispy chicken bao buns - the mantou was soft and fluffy and the chicken was nicely flavored and worked well with the slaw/relish served on the side, but we would have much preferred pork belly instead of chicken Calamari - served with a yuzu aioli, this was a little disappointing because the calamari wasn't as crispy as we had hoped Tuna crispy rice - thin slices of tuna sashimi that you put on a round fried rice cake and top with a salsa. Interesting concept, but the salsa really didn't really seem to fit with dish. It was just a bit too spicy and overwhelmed the tuna, which was also a bit too thin to take center stage shishito peppers - light tempura batter and dipped in a garlic yuzu aioli, this was quite a tasty dish Salmon Samurai and Media Maki rolls - these were unexpectedly large - they seemed to be double rolls. The salmon roll had shrimp tempura and fresh mango that was quite nice. The Media maki had shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, cucumber, and asparagus, also very good - Pistachio opera cake - moist, complex in flavor, very delicious - Molten chocolate cake - rich, dense dark chocolate cake topped with mint gelato and served with a berry compote. My favorite dessert of the evening. - Pot de creme - thick, almost frosting-consistency cream topped with berries and crunchy topping. This was almost too much sweetness and I think that a slightly lighter consistency would have been nice, but I still ate more than my share In addition to a varied menu, they have a fine selection of beers, wines, cocktails, sakes, and Japanese whiskey. Our server was quite friendly and helpful. We were allowed plenty of time to chat after our meal, and we ended up being the last party to leave the dining room. It was a lovely evening and dinner, and we're looking forward to a return visit to try some of their other offerings.

    Creamiest salmon sushi in the area…read more Hot sour soup had the perfect balance. Solid job with house special rolls.

    I used to frequent Poseidon--mostly for lunch, sometimes for dinner, and a few times for takeout…read more One evening in the summer, I stopped in to order takeout. The young woman at the desk was engaged in a conversation with her friend. Both were about 17-19. I stood patiently waiting for quite a while. Finally I spoke up and said "May I see the takeout menu?" She handed one to me, and went back to her conversation. The "friend" sneered at me and moved so that she was blocking me from the register. I couldn't believe it. After a while I looked at the employee and finally said "Oh hey, I am ready to order." She glanced up and nodded. But went back to listening to her "friend." At this point I walked up to the register and said "Excuse me but I'd like to order." The "friend" GLARED at me, spitting venom from every pore. Then she launched into a TIRADE. I ignored her and placed my order. I won't lie though, I was fn shaking. Here I am, a middle-aged woman who's endured some trauma and BS in my life and come out on the other side, and this nasty little B is taking me on?! She continued to glare at me the entire time I was there waiting for my food, up to and including when I walked out the door. It was APPALLING. How no one got involved is just disgusting. I spoke to an employee and asked for the manager/owner. She said they weren't there. I left my name and number and asked for a call back. Heard nothing. The food is OK--not worth abuse. I never went back to Poseidon.

We came here with a Saturday night reservation for the Kotobuki Omakase option.

I love the simple atmosphere and decor, it is relaxing, bright and very authentically Japanese. There wasn't a single thing that wasn't delicious in its own way.

    My husband and I decided to try the omakase dinner for his birthday as we've tried all the places…read morein our general area. This place is small and intimate with only 8 sushi bar seats and 8 table seats. A great vibe and ambiance to watch your sushi chef expertly prepare your meal. Unfortunately, a couple decided to bring their small children that were talking very loudly and had occasional screams. There is a place and time to bring your kids dining and fine dining isn't one of them. Our favorite appetizer was the chanwanmushi! They packed so much umami into such a small dish and the texture of the egg was like silken tofu. My husbands favorite piece of nigiri was the otoro as the tuna was so fatty and just melted in your mouth. Mine was the uni spoon which was a small dish of uni, ikura, caviar, and rice. The hand rolls were a highlight too! After the 6 courses are done you're able to order ala carte and I'm so glad I got an ikura hand roll. Service is impeccable and everyone was very kind and thoughtful. Overall a great experience and an omakase spot we would come back to.
