    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!

We did the chef's tasting menu, which I highly recommend. It was so much fun (and a little overwhelming) choosing 10 dishes, but everything we ordered was delicious.

Left 25 minutes later than planned. [Fast forward: the guy next to us was wearing a full suit.] We arrived at 5:30 and were told the wait for a walk-in was 20 minutes, so we went to Graffiti Bar next door. P wanted a marg, which was not on the cocktail menu, so the bartender asked what kind of tequila. P said Patrón. We started our happy hour evening with $45 cocktails. The wait was actually only 10 minutes, but they give you a 10-minute grace period once they text you, so we had to chug nevertheless. There is a pipe that says "warm" as you walk in. Touch at your own risk. Now at Double Knot. We ordered the tuna roll and salmon rolls. Good, but not that good. J wanted the yaki soba and liked it. P liked the pork potstickers. J ordered a Sapporo and an argument ensued about how to pronounce "a" in Japanese and/or other Asian languages. A professional woman once scolded J for mispronouncing Wang. We then played odds to determine whether J would turn his Sapporo into a sake bomb using P's sake. Both guessed 5. The sake did in fact "bomb," erupting all over the table and causing a scene. The wait staff did not notice because the ambiance, while "lit," is actually pretty dark. Coast clear. For revenge, we played odds again. P lost and was forced to put soy sauce in her sake and chug it. She took it like a champ. The waitress complimented P's top as we left. Margs at the pourover bar next door: $45. Rolls at Double Knot happy hour: $8. A compliment on a $3.69 top after arriving 36 minutes later than planned: priceless. 7/10.

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.

I come here for happy hour every now and then because the prices are really great, and both the food and drinks are delicious. We started with the specialty cocktail and the Thai Punch, and both were really good. They had fruity undertones, and the alcohol wasn't overpowering at all -- I could easily have a few of these. For food, we got a few orders of the kung pao chicken wings. They were perfectly crispy with a really flavorful glaze. The portion size was also very generous, especially for the happy hour price. These are a great example of Asian-style fried chicken wings done right. I definitely want to come back and try their full dinner menu since I've only been here for happy hour so far. Luckily, it's not too far from where I live in the city, so I'll definitely be back!

This time our server explained the tasting course, but we decided to order a la carte. A refreshing Ming Mule came out first and it was just what I needed after being inside of a stadium on a 100 degree day. We also ordered an order of the pork bao which was so tasty. You can never go wrong with a pork belly appetizer and each order comes with two. The shrimp pad Thai had all the flavors you expect from a classic pad Thai but with their own twist. The Szechuan chicken was crispy and had sweet notes. Definitely two great picks. Opted out from dessert because we were so stuffed but they have a great ice cream cone option if you are in the mood.

We were a party of two and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. ​The Highlights: ​Quality: This is hands-down the best quality "all-you-can-eat" (AYCE) sushi I've had. Unlike other places where the fish can sometimes taste frozen, everything here tasted fresh and high-quality. ​Service: Our server, Jordan, was incredibly attentive and made our lunch even better. ​Menu: The miso soup was delicious, and the salad portion was generous. The fried calamari was also great, though the pieces were on the smaller side. While the chicken teriyaki was a bit disappointing, the rest of the meal more than made up for it. ​Value: At approximately $33.85, the AYCE price is a great value for the quality you receive. They also have an extensive ramen menu--while it's not included in the AYCE price, it looked delicious and is something I'm excited to try next time. ​Overall Thoughts: The restaurant was very quiet during our lunch visit, which made for a relaxing meal, though I imagine it gets lively during happy hour. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for fresh sushi and great service!

There are not too many of the popular traditional rolls and these ones are a little more creative, and more tempura and imitation crab rather than eel or salmon fillings. My friends and I barely finished our 3 rounds and did notice that the nigiri had a lot more rice towards the end than it did in the beginning. Would recommend this place if you're looking for quantity of sushi for a good deal.
