The food was very good and service was excellent. The alcohol is very expensive. Cheapest bottle of wine is $80. Sake pairing is $35. Sake flight was $40 or $50 depending on choice of Sake flavor profile; fruity or earthy. We like champagne with sushi so we opted for the Moet Chandon at $120 for the bottle. Each course was plated beautifully. The first course had 4 tastings; quail egg in broth, roe on daikon radish, foie gras, and some glass fish on something I can't remember. All were excellent but I guess the last one was forgettable since I can't remember. Lol! The nigiri was delicious especially the toro, swordfish, red snapper, tuna and scallop. The waygu and foie gras burger was just ok. There was a miso soup that was good but not spectacular. The hand roll with toro was my favorite. It was definitely something different and remarkable over all experience. We ran out of champagne before the meal was over. Our server recommended a champagne by the glass. We later found out it was $28 per glass when the bill came. We knew it was going to be an expensive meal, but I was still shocked that it came to $581 for dinner for 2 with tip. Afterwards we walked over to El Bar and got $4 shots and $3 beers. They also have hot dogs for $1.50 and ramen noodles for $2. Talk about extremes. Maybe we should have dinner at El Bar, it also would have been a memorable experience and likely $550 cheaper. HIROKI was an experience that we will experience only once. I don't regret it, but there was little value. read more

Hiroki - 1st course - Japanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Worth every single dime. Amazing service, presentation, ambiance. We loved it and thought it's a financial commitment, it far exceeded our expectations. Twenty courses is a great amount of food and the courses are curated delicately and with care. The beverage tasting on the side is also incredible. The fish is exquisite and rare. In many ways it's like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'm very grateful for the chance, and for your special occasion I highly recommend Hiroki. My only gripe was that it was a little hard to find the location! read more

Great food, amazing decor and service is impeccable. It's a fun atmosphere and feels like fine dining for sure. I'd come for a birthday or a celebration. We got the sake pairing and I liked that. Interior is as you would expect, minimalistic but modern. The fish and the dishes were as you would expect, flavor bombs and if my budget allowed, I'd be back more often. No need to go to nyc for the same experience here in philly. Ans thanks to my wife for taking me out for my bday :) so I got to splurge hahahaha read more

My husband took me here for my birthday a few months ago. While it was a great dining experience (service, ambience, food quality) I think this place is more of a one and done place for me. Let me explain why. I really loved the nigiri and sashimi courses but some of the other courses were not that great (especially the very first course with the four small dishes were just meh). For the price they're charging, I'd expect everything to be amazing. Additionally, my husband was still hungry after our dinner here so we headed to a cafe afterwards and he ordered and finished an entire entree as a second dinner. read more

Hiroki is okay at the price point for omakase. If this is your first time having omakase, I think you would enjoy this experience. However, if you've had omakase outside of Philly, this might be a 3 stars review. No harsh feelings here, just my opinions. The menu is pretty much the same every time I dine here. The nigiri is okay. However, the chef used torching technique too often like 3-4 times. If I come here for sushi, I would want to have more fresh fish, not seared or cooked fish. Also the miso soup was really salty to me. It's an overall okay omakase experience, since there're not a lot of options in Philly. Give it a try and see for yourself. read more

The entire meal was extremely rushed. We were asked multiple times by multiple waiters to have our plates removed when there was still food on them. I understand there are multiple reservations per night, but there should be more time allotted for each reservation. The food was excellent however if you don't mind being rushed. read more

This was my first time at Hiroki, and I loved every minute and every bite. I came here to celebrate my birthday and it was the best place I could have chosen. The menu is omakase only, for $135 a person with 21 "plates." Most of these are nigiri showcasing the current selection of fish but others are bites of wagyu, crab, etc (as shown in my picture). There's also tamago and dessert. You can do an optional sake pairing as well with your meal or order a glass a la carte off of their selection. There is counter seating and table seating, but I would recommend getting counter seating so you can actually watch the chefs in action. The interior is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere is just gorgeous and makes you feel very special. Watching your chef make your sushi for you during your omakase and explain to you each and every fish they serve is part of what makes the experience so wonderful. The fish all tasted very fresh, tender, and flavorful, and each bite was delightful. I will say I think former Morimoto chef Hiroki doesn't shy away from packing a few said bites with a lot of miso, so a few times I felt my nose scrunch up from more than what I could handle, but overall of course it was masterfully prepared. I really appreciated the little surprise dessert of sweet chestnut sponge cake at the end too. The miso soup they served was a refreshing way to end the sushi. If you're still full somehow after all the sushi and small bites, you can add on personal requests for other hand rolls, etc. but personally speaking I was stuffed! The service was amazing and the waiters were very attentive. There's a coat check at the front if you need it. This isn't the first omakase I've done in Philadelphia, and I will say I think that pitted against Royal Sushi, Royal comes out on top. But this definitely takes crown for second place in my heart and for the overall ambiance, service, and quality, I would for sure come back again. Skip Morimoto - come right to Hiroki. read more

Celebrated anniversary here. Phenomenal Omakase experience right here in Philly without traveling to say NYC. Delightful dinner, thank you Chief. read more

Went with a party of 4, will likely not be back anytime soon. First, when we arrived, we had to seek out a very disinterested appearing host. He informed us that because it was 8:00 and seating for all guests wasn't until 8:15 we would have to wait in the cold outside with another group of diners. We obliged and stood in front of the door staring at the empty but heated yurts we would soon be dining in. Why exactly did we have to wait in the cold instead of inside the yurts? As we waited, two other parties arrived around 8:10 and checked in and were seated in their yurts. We went to ask about seating but the host was too busy seating the other tables that arrived after us, when he got back he finally seated us around 8:20. Next up, beverages. We were asked if we preferred sparkling or still and said still, assuming that this must be house sparkling water if we weren't offered the option of tap water. Nope, we were presented with a $15 bottle of aqua panna. Ok, no biggie, didn't even mention it, but it sets a certain tone. After we finished it the server asked if we'd like another and we asked for tap water, there was a looong pause and he finally said in an audibly deflated tone "we can bring you that". Next the ridiculous alcohol policy, we were told that we could only order bottles of wine with dinner (about $100 price point) bc of covid. I'm unclear how other bars and restaurants in town are able to serve glasses, but apparently Hiroki can't pull it off safely. My wife asked to try one of the white wines before we bought a $150 bottle, we were informed that this was not possible because of covid. Really?? Fine, we'll take it. The server brought out the bottle and proceeded to pop the cork and pour a sip for my wife in the sommelier style for her approval, in my head ae voice screamed WHY ARE YOU PUTTING ON THE SHOW IF YOU CLEARLY DONT CARE IF THE BOTTLE IS TO HER LIKING ANYWAY!!? You might as well just hand us the bottle and walk away. We've dined at many ultra high end restaurants, French Laundry, Vetri, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, etc, none of those places would bat an eye if you asked for tap water or wanted to taste a wine. Hell if you were at Vetri and you told the server you want grape Fanta they'd probably run out and buy you some. Dinner was excellent. food was gorgeous and artfully prepared. We enjoyed most aspects of our meal with very few exceptions. Really no complaints here. After the meal the server brought us the check with an included 20% gratuity. We gave her our cards to run and she handed us back her swipe machine thing with the box checked for an additional 20% tip on top of the included 20% tip. She didn't mention anything but I had to ask if I was mistaken that there was a 20% service charge included, and the box that was checked was to add an additional 20%. She said yes, that box checks by default. Cue eye roll. Certainly COVID has been tough on everyone especially servers, and I would have no problem going above and beyond the normal tip IF service was incredible, but at the high price point of Hiroki we expected a whole lot more. If the meal was exactly the same without the nickel and dime treatment from the management this would have been a five star review. read more

Authentic sushi spot in Fishtown! We started off with 4 bite-sized appetizers (bamboo, abalone, squid, quail egg) none of them were really impressive so we got a little concerned but the rest of the meal was amazing! The tuna especially chutoro was incredible - just the right amount of fat and flavor that just melts in your mouth. I also loved the trout, scallop, and this crispy fish that I didn't get the name of. Wish there were more nigiri pieces but overall a really good meal. read more

One of if not the best culinary experience ever had. Creative. Exceptional. Quality. This should be on everyones bucket list. Wow.

So good period. I managed to get reservations thru Resy at the sushi bar section a few days after it opened. Please get these seats if you can. I think it's a better experience. We were happy to sit right in front of the chef and have a few small conversations with him and the customers next to us. I really loved the vibe of the restaurant, as it reminded me of Kyoto. The customer service was exceptional and the food was amazing. I've had omakase in Japan recently and I loved this restaurant a lot more. I did feel full after the meal but I could see how some people would leave a little hungry. I wish I could compare to royal izakaya but I haven't been there yet. However, I can definitely see this place being one of the top sushi restaurants in philly. read more

Once covid started I was absolutely starved for some good omakase, and take out omakase is just not the same as sitting at the sushi bar. I was lucky I found Hiroki, they had the most delicious take out omakase I've ever had. However once indoor dining opened up again they no longer offered delivery. I was sad. But it also meant I had to now go in to get amazing sushi. They only served a few customers per seating, everyone wore masks and we were seated 6 feet apart. I felt pretty safe eating here even during covid madness. If you're craving good sushi and want to feel some sense of normalcy and sit in a restaurant, I would highly recommend Hiroki! read more

The review is going to sound over the top but it really is that amazing. An exquisite dining experience. It's small but not crowded, excellent staff, nicely lit, earthy decor and the sushi is like no other sushi I've ever had. The beef is also fantastic. Each dish is a thoughtful continuation in a magnificent journey of taste and texture. Truly fine dining. read more

We had a reservation for 4 but my son decided last minute not to come, he wasn't feeling good. As we came in the manager explained that we will have to pay for 4 people and that the food was made in advance. We did not feel welcome and ended up eating omakase for 4 people and paying for it. Expensive and the food was ok, some was very fresh and yummy some not. I will not go back to this restaurant. read more

Highest quality Japanese Omakase. A complete journey with interesting appetizers, fish, sushi, meat, soup, and dessert tastings. Simple preparation allowed the ingredients to shine. A small sake tasting complemented the meal. Sitting by the chef allowed us to talk food and ingredients during the meal. read more

Hiroki - Japanese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I was besides myself to go here as I was looking forward to this expensive tasting. The first 30 minutes there was shear bliss until a large party arrived approximately 40 minutes after the seating time of 8:15 pm. They were celebrating a birthday. The noise was insanely loud there was actual screaming. The noise was so loud I could hardly hear the servers explanation of the sushi being served. My bill was $258 including drinks and a added on gratuity. Please understand this is the cost of the tasting and 4 drinks for one person. For the noise I was given a complementary saki, but in reality they should've given me a gift certificate for at least $50 as my entire experience with the noise was so so insanely disappointing. Don't think I'll return or recommend the place unless some amends is made. The entire experience was so disappointing because of the bday parity noise level. Seriously, it was insane I incurred a huge headache there and I left with a headache but the service and food was very good. But the ambience...what a disappointment. . read more

Although there's not that many to begin with, this is my favorite omakase in Philly. Hiroki does well with good ingredients. Only some of the staff is Japanese, but they are all pretty well trained. Difficult to compare to omakase in Japan, New York, DC, and LA, but still very good. Hiroki is the only place doing sushi this well in Philly, other than Royal Sushi. read more

It was a super cool experience. The food was great and the waiters and chefs were super friendly. Totally recommend.

Went to Hiroki this past Sunday during the snowstorm. We had the first seating at 5:45pm and We weren't sure if reservations would be canceled due to the inclement weather but they called two hours beforehand to confirm that it was still on. We sat in one of the greenhouses which was warm and cozy and very cute. Service was really nice despite the fact that the servers had to trek back and forth in the snow. The food was delicious and timing of each dish was perfect. Each plate was consolidated and portions were slightly increased to meet the time restrictions due to COVID and accommodate for the later seating. The hot dishes were still hot (temperature wise) which I loved. Unfortunately you cannot get the sake pairing when sitting outdoors but you can order bottle service. I would highly recommend. I will definitely want to try again next time to try indoors which does seem quite small. I actually wouldn't mind sitting in the greenhouse again even post COVID. read more

Over all it's a good restaurant, but remember arrive on time, don't get there early, otherwise you can not get in (even one minute early) , until you get exactly the time you booked. Good part: Food are nice 135/person (not included tax and service fee), have total 20 courses, from the appetizer to dessert. Total meal time will around 3 hrs. Recommend book the sushi bar seat. Their fish are sooo fresh and yummy. Which is the most thing I love it. Bad part: Only the arrival time, they are so straight about that. The front lady was told us, she will let us in at the exactly time we booked. Which is really make us uncomfortable before we having a nice dinner.We saw other people are standing there waiting too. Outside was so hot too. Everyone is sweating. Food overall must give 5 stars, but before we have the food, the service is really not that good. I hope they could get better for the service part. We will give them another chance and come back to try another time. read more

An amazing experience and such an elegant restaurant. Must sit at the sushi bar and watch the chefs make tasting menu right in front of you. Limited seating and must book reservations months in advanced. read more

Had the omakase at the bar. First sat in the corner, couldn't see the chef and had the asst chef in front of us. He assembled the sushi. He was imprecise with the wasabi which detracted from the pieces. Sake pairing was good I'd suggest it. Overall does not meet the bar for precision that you expect from a $160 pp omakase experience. If you want that experience it will satisfy the urge but needs work to meet the elite level. read more

Place is legit. Delicious omakase on par with Royal as best in Philly. The added 5 piece chefs choice nigiri was well worth the $55. The uni was tolerable, which says a lot since I typically hate it. It's the best I've ever had. The tilefish though is the highlight. read more

Our first indoor dining experience since The End Times, and so we were scared. We were completely put at ease once we got inside. This was our second time, the first time was before all the troubles. It was just as good as before, if not better (the dessert this time was better, unforgettable). Both times I had high expectations based on the price point, both times the expectations were shattered. So fantastic in every aspect. I've done 2 other omakase places, this is the only one I would consider returning to again and again. read more

It was a great first omakase experience! Although it was a little difficult to understand the chef through his mask while he was explaining each item, everything was delicious. The chef's presentation was pure art. read more

This is a truly outstanding omakase experience and adds to the growing list of top end Japanese restaurants in Philadelphia. Better yet, you can now get NYC quality meals at much more reasonable prices. The meal starts with a few composed dishes, and moves on through sashimi, nigiri, a handroll and several surprises before ending with exceptional renditions of transitional tamago and dessert. The sake pairing is very generous and reasonably priced. Seared tilefish, toro handrolls, exquisitely fresh uni and wagyu short rib. These were just a few of the perfect bites we enjoyed tonight. We'll be back very soon. read more

I am so confused by the mixed reviews for this wonderful restaurant. I seek out top notch sushi and seafood wherever I go, and this restaurant was one of the best on the east coast. Very fresh fish servings, every piece just melts in your mouth. The sushi portion was the best portion of the menu and we left, full, satisfied and spoiled. Thank you for a wonderful experience, will be back! read more

Don't waste your time or money. The quality of the fish was certainly not the representative of the price, which we left hungry. Be sure to hit Beddia down the street for pizza and beers after this! read more

We've been to one-star Michelin sushi places in SF and NY. Hiroki was better than each, definitely the best sushi in Philly we've had (haven't been to Royal Izakaya yet). If you're like us (enjoy complex flavors in amazing ingredients with chefs deftly sculpting the natural beauty rather than intensely re-engineering), you'll love this. Hiroki elevates the preparation and service of sushi to an elegant, integrated art form with excellent fish, a relaxed intimate vibe, and extraordinary attention to fresh ingredients and optimally timed execution. Wonderful Omakase if you're looking for an experience, not just a dinner. The focus of the restaurant is on the food--presentation, ingredients, even the restaurant's lighting is optimized to showcase the color of your meal. Sitting at the bar is a must--with the chefs right across the counter, you optimize the timing for how certain dishes are delivered. The result: a much more powerful punch when it comes to texture. Generous number of dishes of exceptional quality. Watching the chefs, you get both dinner and a show. They are excited to tell you about each dish and hint at the subtle differences. The restaurant employs a traditional, intimate design with music that relaxes the discipline associated with sushi preparation and decor that gives a nod to the building's history. Unlike other places, restaurant design is not so busy that it takes away from the food or the performance of its preparation. Take advantage of the AWESOME toilets before you go--they're an experience as well! Flavors form a symphony with a clear narrative arc throughout the evening. Notes from the light introduction for your palate to the "key" and "genre" disappear into flashes of spice and vinegar. More complex flavor characters are introduced, followed by a story in lean fish of increasing complexity. After a unique transition, a toro to uni build-up is the centerpiece of the evening. read more

Would I recommend it? No. It is outrageously priced for the forgettable dishes. I will say they did have a waygu foie gras patty that was amazing. The nigiri all tasted the same and the beer pricing was unbelievable. I'm a huge craft beer fan and if you think a Japanese beer should cost $18 then by all means this is the place for you. I appreciate and can recognize the skill that goes into the dishes but you can find far better food around the city. Went here for a special occasion and I really wish I had picked somewhere else. The hostess was the single ray of sunshine in this otherwise robotic experience. The waiting staff could easily be replaced with a conveyor belt system. Got a drink next door while we were waiting for our table and the atmosphere and food there looked far more enjoyable. I feel a lot of the high reviews fall into the psychology of if I just spent this much money, then it must have been good. Which, sadly, happens quite a bit. Recommendation: Look elsewhere or grab half a grand and flush it down the toilet. read more

If you are new to sushi and omakase dinners, this might be a 5 star experience for you...if you've ever picked up a tray of to-go sushi at the local supermarket, this omakase is going to disappoint you! You arrive on a small alley like street in Fishtown to the back entrance of a pretty trendy restaurant (Wm Mulherin & Son's) and enter through a very cool large circular wooden door. The reservations are exact, so arrive 5 min early and you're directed to wait outside in the street or you can go into the Mulherin bar. It's the same owners, you can actually take your drink from there to Hiroki (although its the same building, there's no connecting doorway inside, you're required to take your drink outside and walk around the corner on the sidewalk...can't see how this is actually legal given PA's strict liquor laws). Hiroki also only offers sake, wine and beer, but your waiter can go back to the Mulherin bar and get you cocktails of your choice. Service starts of great with a hot towel for your hands and a quick review of the omakase choices. We chose the full sake pairing ($195). First course brings out 4 single bite dishes. The sagawani (fried whole Japanese river crabs) was delicious, crispy like a potato chip with just a hint of the ocean and slight crab aftertaste. Sizes between the plates (there were 4 of us) was alarming as mine was as wide as a dime and across from me was easily a silver dollar and had to be eaten in 2 bites. The poached quail egg with caviar topping had 7 (I counted) small little pearls on top and looked like they were running out and trying to stretch the last of the caviar. The egg itself was under poached with too much white and had a slimy and cold texture. The other two were unimpressive. Several courses were brought out and explained in little detail. The sashimi was amberjack served two ways, with torched skin and without. It seemed to have a light clear sauce over it and the fish was chewy and fatty, cut against the fat the wrong way. There was a wagyu course with 3 sashimi sized pieces. looked to be sous-vide cooked loin (pink all the way to the very edge, charred on outside) and then sliced down. It was chewy, gritty and flavorless, and served cold. It reminded me of deli counter roast beef. This was most likely an American cross-breed "wagyu" that was not prepared properly. The nigiri was a few pieces that looked like they had been sitting out for 10 minutes before being brought to the table. Fish flesh was dry, rice was cold. The waitress told us it had been brushed with soy and flavored with wasabi, I tasted neither. We were served a small bowl with fresh picked ginger and what seemed like a housemade cabbage/slaw concoction next to it, I asked if we could have some fresh wasabi, and she produced a bowl of what appeared to be fresh grated wasabi root, however it was watery and had no flavor or heat to it at all. NONE. I suspect they either were using rhizomes that had been frozen and stored improperly, or had previously grated them and stored the paste for too long in a fridge (shelf life is hours, and it tasted as if it was 24-48 hours old). I asked for a second bowl to see if it was a fluke and it was just as bland. The mackerel was way too fishy, almost to the point of being spoiled; two of our 4 group wouldn't even eat it, two of us bit down and gave it a shot. It was nasty and took the whole glass of sake to wash it down. The tuna tasting (toro, cho-turo, o-toro) was bland and in the same dry condition as if it had been sitting out on the counter too long with cold rice. The o-toro was not torched and the fat was a bit slimy and fishy (o-toro needs to be torched and melted slightly, I should not be served raw like toro). The sake pairings were mediocre. Nothing special that made us want to take note of the bottle and go buy. I thought they were random pairings as if someone consulted a chart as opposed to a chef or sommelier picking them out. At $195/person for the tasting (with tax and tip, it came to $250/per person, not counting the pre-dinner round of drinks next door). These are NYC prices, and well-respected, award-winning NYC prices! We are pretty big sushi eaters, considered regulars at the existing top Philly spots like Royal, Zama, Sakana, Ooka, as well as regulars to other big cities like NYC for Nakazawa, Blue Ribbon, Masa, O-Ya...just to give you an idea of our experiences that we're comparing against. Given the recent press around Hiroki and the praises it has been getting, I expected a completely different experience. I've had better sushi meals at the take-away counter at Wegmans. Save yourself the regret of eating here and the huge bill you'll get and go pretty much anywhere else for a better meal. read more

First of all, I'm Japanese, trust me. I went to Hiroki for my birthday dinner. I was so disappointed. Their appetizer was good, but sushi was terrible. Not much variety of fish with ok quality. Worst thing is rice. It was too salty and vinegary... I couldn't eat without water every single bite. Also the employees are not friendly. I won't go back again... シャリの味が濃すぎてマジでツラかったです。お茶も出ないし、店員(カウンター内)の雰囲気も悪い。これなら家で手巻き寿司作ったほうが美味しいです。 read more

It pains me to write such an ambivalent review of this place. My SO surprised me with reservations for our anniversary a few weeks ago and I was very excited. There's not a lot of great sushi in Philadelphia, and this seemed like the elevated experience that I was looking for. To begin, we had 8:00 PM reservations, and arrived a few minutes early, per online recommendations. I found it odd to see people waiting outside to be let in, but we checked in with the hostess and she said our seating would be available in a few moments. The hostess stand is located in a small room just outside the dining room and only had enough space to for maybe 4 people in it, hence other diners waiting outside. It was cold, like 20 degrees cold, and I had a dress on, as I did not expect to need to wait outdoors for a table. After standing outside for about 10 minutes with roughly 6 other diners, I had to go back in to warm up. At which point the hostess decided to seat myself and my partner. I was surprised to see most of the tables were empty and set. Another patron commented that if people do need to stand outside, there should be a heater to which the hostess replied "It's our first winter - sorry!". This feels like a huge oversight that they should probably rectify. To expect patrons to stand outside in whatever weather is weathering to wait for a table is far from the level of customer service a meal of this pricing should provide. A dive bar - sure. A $300+ omakase dinner - no way. Outside of that hiccup, the service was very good. Our servers were militantly polite and knowledgeable. The decor of the restaurant is very simple and feels intimate. Although, and perhaps a bit crassly - my favorite feature is likely the Japanese style toilets in the restrooms. The courses were paced nicely, and we never felt as though we had to wait long for our next plates. The fish tasted fresh and well seasoned. The cooked dishes were delicate and sumptuous. The meal was technically perfect. Can I say it was the "best" dinner I've eaten in Philadelphia? No - and I can't really tell you why, it just did not blow me out of the water like I had expected, or like some other meals I've had in the city. Perhaps I'm asking too much for what is essentially raw fish on rice - but the entire meal was missing a little zazzle for me. I'd also say, that while I was certainly not hungry at the end of my meal, I wouldn't say I was "full" either -- although you do get the option of re-ordering and dish you'd like to try again, As for drinks, we opted against the sake pairing as neither of us are big sake drinkers. I am also not much of a wine drinker, so my options were fairly limited. After a very tasty but very expensive glass of Japanese gin ($19 for literally gin on the rocks) - we opted to drink Sapporo, a Japanese lager akin to a classier Budweiser. I'd wish for a more expansive non-Wine/sake selection so perhaps those with less love for fermented grapes/rice can have a few more options. I understand also it's not the point of a meal like this to be consuming multiple cocktails, but the alcohol pricing of the establishment takes an already expensive meal and blows it into the atmosphere. All in all - our bill with tip came close to $400, and although I was pleased with the meal and my experience, I just was simply not blown away as one would imagine with a price tag like that. I'd say if you're a huge lover of fine Japanese cuisine, and have the money to burn, go when it's warmer outside and give it a try. In my opinion, there are far greater and tastier cuisine experiences in Philadelphia, some at nearly half the cost. read more

Hiroki was one of the best dinners that I've had in Philadelphia (if not the best). The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. The quality of sushi is top notch (note, my husband and I have had sushi all over the world) and hands down the best sushi in Philadelphia. The GM, John Park, was also very hospitable and he and his waitstaff (shout out to Amy) contributed to the memorable experience. Thank you again for the superb dinner and for the sparkling sake. We can't wait to come back! read more

This was the first time we had been to a restaurant in over 8 months. We felt very safe and protected with all of the safety protocols they had in place.

I did the omakase at Hiroki on the first Friday that it was open. It was a wonderful and expensive experience. We sat at the counter which was great, because we got to watch them prepare food for the entire restaurant. This is the nicest sushi restaurant I've ever been in. It's nicer than Nobu, Zara, etc. I had a mackerel sushi that was exquisite and a piece of tuna sashimi that was indescribably delicious. I could wax on and on about how good it is, but what's more to say. You should go try it if you have some extra money. However, there is something in the restaurant no one told me about: a Japanese toilet. The bathroom is equipped with a toilet that opens on approach, the seat is warmed, and there are controls on the wall. With one push of the button a stream of water will hit you right in the butthole and then a dryer will turn on! I giggled about this for the entirety of the meal. You must try it out. read more
