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.

Double knot is such a wonderful dining experience. Our group had the tasting menu, a selection of…read morebasically every section of the menu and dessert. We were seated downstairs. It feels like a converted cellar lit with candles, very vibey and romantic. Only thing I would say is it's pretty dark so if you have bad eyes it makes it hard to keep reading the menu to make your selections, so preview it off you know you are doing the tasting menu. The food was really good, and everything was presented well. The service was outstanding, the staff was attentive professional, and very patient. Stand out dish was grilled scallops. My table loved the fried rice. Enjoy your meal!!

It's the usual center city parking situation - try your luck with street parking or park in one of the decks. This place is pretty low key but way more spacious that it looks from the outside. It's relatively "no frills" when it comes to vibe as service, very casual - definitely not fine dining, lighting is a little harsh. We got the Love boat for 2 - which comes with one miso soup and one salad (so hopefully you're willing to share or maybe one of you only wants soup and the other wants salad). The boat was ok - didn't really hit the spot in the way that I had hoped. Karaoke rooms are open and pretty loud but they sound fun. Maybe I'll come back and check those out but I likely won't be back otherwise.

Great Happy Hour Tuesday - Sunday! I stumbled across this place wandering around Sansom street and…read moreI'm glad that I did! They have really great options to choose from on Happy Hour and their regular menu! The Bao Buns & Steamed Dumplings did not disappoint! I was full after those two options but the HH menu had plenty to choose from. Fresh sushi is also prepared as you walk in! Beautiful dim lighting right at the entrance. That was my first time having that beer, not bad. I switched over to a special cocktail made my the bartender; great customer service! The host was also incredible with his greeting and recommendations. The place is clean, spacious and cozy. I say the bar, much space and many TVs. Check it out!

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. Both were good but VERY strong, so if you're looking for something sweeter or something that doesn't pack too strong of a punch, then they might not be for you. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. AMBIANCE It's a great place to catch up with friends over some finger foods and drinks. Located at the heart of Center City, it's also nearby a variety of other establishments if you want to hop around. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity. Parking garages are also located nearby at a fee.

We ordered the crispy chicken bao buns, crispy shrimp, general tso soup dumplings, wagyu beef, Korean bbq beef, and hamachi ceviche. We were a group of 3 so one thing that was nice was that our waiter added 1 additional skewer/bao bun for the meals instead of ordering 2 plates of them. Out of all the food we ordered the most delicious were the meats; the wagyu and Korean bbq beef. They were so tender and lightly seasoned because the beef quality itself was good. The Wagyu beef was paired with an apricot dip that was really good. The chilli crisp chicken bao was also good but didn't have much sauce, so it was on the dry side. It was supposed to have chilli so we expected it to be spicy but it was not. We all really liked the crispy shrimp--it was truly crispy. The sauce and the radish paired really nicely with the shrimp as well. The one meal we did not enjoy were the soup dumplings. When we got them they were dripping of raw dough and had no soup in them. The waiter was kind enough to replace them but we still didn't really enjoy them. I did not try the hamachi ceviche because I'm pregnant but it was also a favorite from the group. For dessert we had the mini ice cream cones. The waiter again added an extra one for us. The flavors were chocolate banana and mango. They were good, small bites. One of them melted so quickly and fell on the table and the waiter was really kind and got us a replacement. I did use the bathroom and absolutely hated it. It was unbelievably dark in there and there were weird sounds playing in there. I went in there to make sure I didn't have food in my teeth but couldn't even see. Super inaccessible, hopefully that's something that can be changed. The service overall was clearly excellent! I would recommend this place, especially if you come for the meats. It was surprisingly filling too.

This is such a phenomenal ramen restaurant. The service was excellent. The gentleman that was at the bar tonight, was also our server and when I say impeccable attention, and service it feels like an understatement. The pork bao buns were incredible, sashimi and sushi fresh and tasty, and the Ramen (THE GOD DAMN RAMEN) could have caused the chef to be assaulted because it was so good. If you live in the city, support this place. If you're visiting the city, please do not leave without stopping here. I can assure you that disappointment is not listed on the menu. To the establishment, thank you for giving us a phenomenal experience and an amazing date night. We will absolutely return!

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.
