I was just gonna drink a water but the table 2 down from us had delish looking iced green teas so I ended up ordering that. That was the move bc that tea was very good. For our 2 apps we got seaweed salad and kani salad. Both were bigger than I expected and tasted great. I ordered the black garlic oil mayu ramen and my bf ordered the shrimp tempura udon. I absolutely loved my broth. I will def order this again. I wish there was more broth bc it i was so good. For dessert we got 2 mochi. They split them in 2 so we each could try. We didn't get to pick our flaves but it wasn't a problem bc we got mango and strawberry and both tasted great. All this for $40 total. What a deal!!!

Decent take-out order. 2 roll lunch special and the "fried squid"…read more When I think of a fried squid dish from an Asian restaurant, I think of salt-baked squid or a salt and pepper squid situation. This was regular old calamari with a lemon wedge and a small container of cocktail sauce. No "creamy house sauce" included.

Had dinner tonight after scouting out places within a short walk of my Vrbo. When I saw the reviews…read morefor this place, I knew that this would be it. The service was excellent, with all of the staff, being friendly, prompt, and helpful. I ordered the gyoza and Terakawa ramen - both were delicious. The pork bone broth is quite satisfying, and I will say that the pork and egg were just perfect. The noodles are slightly smaller than ramen I've had elsewhere, but they had a nice texture to them and were definitely not over or undercooked. (That's the -1 star for me - I really love alkaline noodles and wish they used them here...) The decor is very utilitarian, but representative of the type of establishment they are going for (small neighborhood ramen shop). Overall, a pleasing experience and reasonable value. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! Oishii desu!!

It gives a very nice date night feeling. I ordered the Chef's tasting menu, it includes a total of 13 items. The only confusing bit is that you choose the items from the menu and the entire party will share (that part makes sense of an "omakase" feeling). It is nice that you get to choose as there are some premium items that ate included, making the $78 well worth it IMO. Service was quick and we were checked on throughout the meal without feeling overbearing or interrupting. The food was filling and portions werent skimped, we wound up taking the rice and brazino to go before the final dish - desert. After the meal they ask if you'd like anything else, just in case (we did). I highly recommend the wagyu plate, we got it done rare and it was like butter. Absolutely amazing.

We loved getting to try a variety of flavors, and everything was beautifully prepared. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, the drinks were amazing, and the entire meal was absolutely worth it. We left already looking forward to coming back and would highly recommend it! The only minor downside was that it got pretty warm inside. It was during the heatwave, so I don't think the A/C was able to keep up, but it definitely wouldn't stop us from coming back. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience!

My favorite rolls were the Miso Butter Cod and the Mango Salmon. Both were incredibly flavorful, and the fish tasted fresh. Paired with wasabi, soy sauce, and ginger, every bite was delicious. The ambiance was relaxing and made for a great solo dining experience. The chef was also impressively quick, preparing each hand roll fresh right in front of you. The presentation of each roll was beautiful and definitely photo-worthy. If you're craving quality hand rolls and fresh fish, I'd highly recommend giving Chubby Nori a try!

The main menu is quite expansive and they also have a daily fish market. Ordered some bonito sashimi - uncommon to see this stateside and it's quite tasty. The pieces were large which was both good and bad. Good for a nice cut portion, but also bad being too large to make it bite size. Rice with the nigiri (and also some rolls) didn't have quite the right consistency so fell apart a bit. Tuna freshness / taste seemed a bit mild or lacking flavor. Sea bream piece was spot on. The fried chicken had a good crisp and tasty sauce. Maybe an off night for my visit, but the presentation and quality felt a little sloppy or lacking. There were some other options I wish to try on another visit, I will update next time. Thanks

(There is a cheaper tasting menu option, but our waitress told us that is a fixed menu of the popular dishes, and we were feeling adventurous.) The dishes and portion sizes were perfect. They gave us a good amount of food per dish, and we both felt extremely full at the end. We also liked every single dish as well as the bottle of sake we shared. I highly recommend Zama if you are looking for a sushi restaurant to try!

We ordered several rolls that were all very good, but the tempura cauliflower might have been the favorite just because of its originality. Don't think I'll be back in Philadelphia any time soon, but would absolutely go back to Fat Salmon if I do. Only bummer was I left my credit card there after dinner on a Sunday night and they are closed on Monday. We left Philly Tuesday before they opened. Unfortunately, no way to get in touch with them, but when I did, they agreed to shred the card.
