    Rock N Roll special roll. Very good!
    Cassie C.

    I was in the area for work, so I gave this place a try. Cute atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was fresh and great. I got the pepper tuna, sushi shumai, and the Rock N Roll special roll. ALL of the food was delicious! I definitely recommend trying this place.

    Very good sushi spot. Went with my partner on a date night and had a great time. The waitress was patient and answered all our questions when we tried to get away from the basic Cali roll. I tried raw sushi for the first time and it wasn't bad. We did try some of the Cali rolls and they were great and well balanced. Usually you get a bunch of cucumber and a little crab, but not here. Everything was delicious and the staff was great. Check them out.

    John's Sushi House is brand spanking new to the Fox Chase area so you know I had to check it out! John's took the place of the former Seahouse, which was a Cajun Seafood Restaurant and Bar. I had driven past here for a couple weeks now, and I finally saw an "Open" sign illuminating in the window. Decided it was time to treat myself to some sushi. We walked in through the back entrance, which is accessible from their parking lot. There were only 2 other customers there at the time we arrived, so we were seated right away. As we were looking at the menu, our waitress came over with complementary saké. I had never tasted saké before, and while it was a little too strong for my liking, it was a very kind gesture on the staff's behalf. To start, we ordered the vegetable gyoza. It's hard to mess up gyoza, but these little dumplings were delicious. It was a generous portion, too. Crispy and stuffed with veggies! The Sweetheart roll sounded intriguing, so I went with that and my usual favorite, the Sweet Potato roll. Both rolls were incredibly flavorful and fresh. I loved that the Sweetheart roll was in the shape of hearts. They looked too perfect to eat. The inside of the restaurant was well lit, very clean and spacious. The food and service were excellent. I'd totally visit John's again, and I'm ecstatic that it's in the neighborhood.

    Long Island

    Very nice establishment but I didn't enjoy my teriyaki chicken and shrimp dish. It was rushed and served slightly cold. Two stars for the Long Island which was poured to perfection!

    Boat for 3
    Andrea M.

    Who doesn't love a work / lunch meeting over sushi? This was my first time here and my first time ever getting a sushi boat! We started off with hot green tea and edamame For the main event we went with the House Boat for 3 and each got a soup or a salad along with it. The boat was presented beautifully and the sushi was fresh and delicious! My favorite roll was the dragon and favorite sushi was the white tuna. The portion was perfect for us! I left satisfied and full. If anything I would have opted in for a few more apps to go along with it, mostly because there were so many things I wanted to try. Our waiter was kind and attentive, the space was clean, well decorated and set to comfortable temperature. It's great to have an awesome sushi spot in the area I would 100% recommend.

    California and Spicy Tuna Roll
    Ellis L.

    First time here. Ordered way too much food. Ordered Rock Shrimp, Edamame, Fried Noodles with Shrimp, Steak Teriyaki Bento Box and a couple Spicy Tuna Rolls all for 2. So much food, so many leftovers but worth the money and great service.

    Tuna tartar. To die for.
    Elena F.

    New place in our neighborhood. Exceptional food. We started playing safe, ordered a pretty usual set: cani salad, miso soup, sashimi platter, rainbow roll. But after this we ordered tuna tartar and tuna tataki. Everything was above any words and praises. And tuna tataki is just genius. Such a confusing me in a good sense of this word) , complex, delicate touch to your palate. I highly recommend this place. Highly.

    Tornado and black jack rolls

    Stopped at John's for an early dinner on a Saturday after attending an event in Philly. We had called earlier in the day and they said we wouldn't need a reservation for 2. They weren't too busy when we got there and we were seated right away. Nice ambience and lots of booth seating and some bar seating, as well. Ordered the draft Sapporo and liked it! Refreshing for a hot day but still had some flavor. For starters we got the miso soup, clear soup, edamame, and pepper tuna. All were really good and we finished every last bite. For entrees we ordered 4 signature rolls - spicy girl, crabby party, black jack, and tornado. I particularly enjoyed the spicy girl and crabby but all were delicious. Super fresh and the crunch was actually crunchy! We had to take some leftovers because we were so stuffed and absolutely no room for dessert but maybe next time. Service was friendly and attentive and prices were very reasonable compared to what were used to. Signature rolls all under $15?! Yes, please! We don't live in the area but may make this a special trip spot. Fantastic experience overall!

    Super fresh and light. Good service and clean place. Love me some hot sake with my sushi as well. All special rolls here but would try the regular stuff next time I visit.

    YUM!

    First of all - don't even contemplate coming here without a reservation. It's insanely popular and…read moreI can see why. We had dinner reservations for 7:45 but got there two hours early because we really wanted to try out their happy hour. Huge selection of food for happy hour and delicious drinks. We waited an hour but were sat and immediately cancelled our dinner reservations because we knew it was about to go down. Fair warning - if you're approaching 40 like us, it's dark, it's loud, and you're sitting on top of people. It will be worth it. We had the double knot roll, spicy tuna roll, BAO, and some drinks. All 10/10. But the real star is the grilled meats. Specifically the scallion ribeye. We tried to take pictures of all of it but it was literally too dark in the restaurant. I would go back and just order ribeye skewers for the entire happy hour. They don't take happy hour reservations but get there early. It's the best.

It is…read moredefinitely very dark inside and I was glad to be seated in the less noisy basement compared with the super noisy bar area on the first floor that also has dinner seating. We sat in a cozy corner booth and could easily hear each other although we could not read the menu or clearly see what we were eating the lighting is so dim (and consistent with the gothic theme). Now onto the food. We ordered 9 dishes (waiter suggested 8) and it was way too much for us and I'm a big eater! Edamame dumplings - 4/5, may be just me, but I don't really enjoy mushy fillings to my dumplings. The broth they came in was amazing though Tuna rice cracker - 4/5, not really a cracker, more like a crunchy mini loaf of rice topped with tuna and a slice of jalapeno - delicious and much more filling than what I was expecting. I only gave a 4 instead of 5/5 for taste because of the unexpected presentation of the "cracker" Shishito pepper small plate - 5*/5 outstanding! I could eat these all day they were so delicious. I'm not sure how they flavor these or what light crunchy sprinkles were on top of this very generous portion of peppers (I would estimate maybe 30 peppers?) I'd go back just for this dish Black cod fried rice - 3/5, I should know better that a miso black cod will be somewhat fishy, and with it spread in chunks throughout the fried rice I'd say this was my least favorite dish. Crispy brussels sprouts - 4/5, a solid offering, not much to write home about Crispy tofu - 3/5, not particularly unique although it sounded amazing when described - cubes of deep fried tofu drizzled with peanut sauce on a bed of cilantro pesto. But not that tasty and not that interesting Scallop robo - 5/5, excellent with a kick from the spicy powder on these, note these are very small portions, three slices of scallop (not even a full scallop or if these were full scallops they were very thin) on a stick Ribeye scallion robo - 5/5, also excellent, with three chunks of tender grilled beef Mochi ice cream: passion fruit, matcha - 4/5, but mostly because I'm not a huge fan of mochi ice cream, I'd rather just have the ice cream or have it with a brownie or between two cookies So overall, service was great, not overly attentive. And the food was very solid with an outstanding exception with the shishito peppers. I'm not sure I'd go back as it is very dark in there and if I was seated on the first floor I'd not be able to have conversation with my dinner mates.

    FOOD We ordered their spicy tuna roll, pork belly sumo buns,…read moremushroom sumo tacos, spicy citrus sumo wings, and fries. All of them were tasty and filling, and for happy hour, decently priced. It's a good place to try and to meet up with friends. DRINKS We had their yuzu paloma and one of their specialty cocktails.

SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. AMBIANCE It's a great place to catch up with friends over some finger foods and drinks.

The meal was topped off with 2 mini ice cream cones... Chocolate caramel and vanilla raspberry. Everything seemed perfectly portioned and timed. Service ran smoothly. They also take your credit card before hand, which I can definitely understand. My biggest complaint is the lighting inside. There is no reason for it to be that dark in the middle of the day. I had to use the light on my phone to see the menu. I also tried my best to use the chopsticks and not ask for a fork. But I tapped out at the fried rice. Apparently they have a really nice outside area as well. My oldest says it's "grounded" and talks about "the vibes."
