Nigiyaka Na

From what I have tried I have enjoyed the food. I have only ordered thru GrubHub and at first had an issue with sushi being bagged with hot food. This was solved by adding a note to please bag sushi separate from hot food.

Quick review: wide variety of consistently well-​executed rolls, friendly owner/​chef, BYOB, nice atmosphere with tables for larger groups or can sit at sushi counter. This most recent meal in addition to sushi we ordered Tempura Rock Shrimp in Spicy Mayo and avocado salad. Both were excellent. They also have ramen, entrees, deserts. However, sushi is what I come here for. Also delivers.

I ordered a tempura appetizer, fried pork dumplings and shoyu ramen.
The tempura vegetables were good, but I didn’t like the texture of the shrimp. .
Dumplings are my favorite food, and these were good but nothing special.
Shoyu ramen was awful. It tasted like greasy pepper water. The eggs were overcooked, with weird firm jelly-​like yolks. I didn’t even try to eat them because they looked so bad. The vegetables were also terrible. They weren’t fresh, and had a dirt-​like flavor. I bit into one bamboo shoot that was hard and woody and scraped my mouth on it. That’s when I gave up and just threw away the whole bowl of soup.
I’m really disappointed by this place. Maybe they have good sushi, but I’m not willing to try them again after trying their ramen.

My husband and I ordered sushi and it simply was not good. Started with the seaweed salad which was decent but it all went downhill from there. We got an eel and cucumber roll that was oddly sweet, didn’t have much eel and the cucumbers weren’t crunchy. Got the Vegas roll that was also kinda sweet and just tasted odd, with no lobster flavor at all, a golden California roll which barely had any tobiko sprinkled on it when at other restaurants the tobiko has been mounded on top. Maybe we should be happy about that because the tobiko sushi tasted like dirty seawater and had no crunch at all. The yellowtail scallion was the best roll but that’s not saying much. Salmon and tuna sashimi were not high quality and not fresh. Tried to give it to my dog when we didn’t finish (very unusual. We love sushi!) and he literally wouldn’t eat it either! Will not try again!

I’m not usually one to give 1 star reviews, but this was really poor. I’m sorry.
Ordered via GrubHub — Delivery was here 10 minutes after the expected time of arrival. The one good thing is that they do separate the broth and noodle when they do delivery, so the noodles don’t soak up all the soup.
This «ramen» was the worst I’ve ever had. TI ordered the chicken shoyu ramen. he chicken is very dry. The broth is definitely NOT authentic. It tastes either like. instant noodle or just water, soy sauce, and a lot of pepper. I have a pretty strong palate, and I’m not joking I literally think that’s what it is. Actually when you look at the bottom of the bowl, all the black pepper sank to the bottom — and that part of the soup was truly inedible. There is just no flavor. This is NOT ramen. Do not go here for ramen. I’ve never had their sushi so I can’t say — but this is not ramen. Ramen. is what you get at Terakawa.
I will not be returning, not even for sushi. One and done.

Excellent sushi! Tuna and salmon rolls, yuummmmy yummmmy! Miso soup is also great, mushrooms are a great addition! Sushi chef is the owner and very kind. Will be ordering take out from here often!

This place is pretty okay. Their sushi taste pretty good and the pricing isn’t that bad. It’s a nice and small little restaurant, but the food inside doesn’t disappoint. Yes, there are some better sushi places, but this place is great for the price! Also, it doesn’t just hold sushi, they have ramen, bentos and different types of entrée, which I recommend the Shrimp Tempura Entrée with veggies. Also, they have a pretty good tempura ice cream!

Sorry to say I have to give this place one star.
I had the magu ramen to go. I’ve had ramen in other places and this ramen was not like any ramen I had. The broth indicated that it came from natural pork bone but to me it tasted like it came from a paste or instant seasoning. The consistency of the broth was rather thin and just plain. I was very dissatisfied since the broth is what makes up the whole ramen. Moving on to the charsiu (roast pork) again my expectations was crushed. The cut was thick and rather chewy. I’m use to the thin melt in your mouth kinda cut and this was not meeting my expectations at all. On the plus side, they gave a good amount of meat which I had about 4 slices. Next… The egg in soup was overcooked. I normally like my egg semi runny but maybe that’s just me. The presentation of the bowl was quite nice but the flavor wasn’t there.
I also ordered the rock shrimp which was deep fried and topped with spicy honey sauce. Can’t go wrong with deep fried so that was the only thing I enjoyed.
Overall I was not to happy with my first visit here. I was happy to know it was close to my house but sadly to say I won’t be coming here for ramen.

Incredibly flavorful food. Ambience is pleasant and modern with good lighting. Small interior is used very well with a combination of tables and sushi bar.
I had Miso Ramen and an Alaska Roll. The presentation was delightful for both. My ramen was a delicious myriad of savory ingredients including the most succulent pork I’ve ever eaten. I enjoyed the freshness of the roll as much as the taste.
Staff is very friendly and courteous. All around, great experience. Plus they deliver! A+

Was excited to see a new sushi place open up a block away from my apartment, as there are not many in the area. Got two specialty rolls for a relatively low price. Nothing flashy or fancy about the restaurant, but if you’re looking for some quick and delicious rolls of sushi, this is your place.

Terrific place. We got two bowls of their ramen. Delicious broth with deep, complex flavor. Nice use of pork belly, ginger, mushrooms and more. Great service and they’re BYOB to boot. Hit this place up while it’s still a hidden gem!

I have no idea how there are 5 star reviews for this place. You can get better sushi at a grocery store and don’t have to wait for an hour to have it on your table.
Having had sushi at a number of different places in the city, we came across Nigiyaka Na by the great Unilocal reviews. We arrived at 8 pm and we were the only people in the entire restaurant. The waitress came over and took our order. (4 sushi rolls and seaweed salad). Being the only couple in the restaurant, we thought we would be getting our food in a timely manner. We didn’t get our sushi until after 9 pm and we kept thinking that it could be worth it from what previous Unilocalers reviewed. Honestly, I have had better sushi from Whole Foods than what was presented at our table. A recurring theme in previous reviews happened to us as well. After we received our sushi, the chef came by our table and apologized for it taking so long (which we thought was odd since we were the only people in the entire restaurant) It was a nice gesture, but the food didn’t make up for the apology.
If you are looking for affordable, good quality sush, and great customer service, I would head elsewhere.

I ordered take out this week and this place will definitely be new go-​to sushi spot. The spicy tuna maki is AMAZING. I also had a sliced yellowtail appetizer with jalapeño that would rival any fancy joint in center city. The owners were really friendly.
Prices are great. Crossing my fingers this place makes it!

Really great sushi. The pieces are large and the fish is high quality. I love sushi and there are so few good sushi places in south Philly. This place is affordable, delicious and much needed in the Passyunk Square neighborhood.

This place was definitely worth a try. We had their sushi and ramen and we all unanimously agreed that we’d come back – everything was delicious. The broth of the ramen was very flavorful and savory (I was afraid that it would be bland, thin, and lifeless). The pork in my ramen was melt-​in-​your-​mouth-​tender. It’s a nice little spot. The outside may not look the most promising, but I can assure you, the food is :)

Convenience is key for us here! We have been here about 5 times since the grand opening. sushi is AMAZING and fresh. The teriyaki chicken is perfect, it’s actually real chicken! I am very picky with my sushi and I love every single roll from here so far! My boyfriend and I typically get about 6 – 8 different rolls and share. Staff is friendly, restaurant is clean, and menu is huge. I love this place :) one day I was walking down the street and heard people outside talking about how amazing it is, glad the neighborhood feels the same way as we do! I love the fact that the sushi bar chef comes over each time and asks how the rolls are personally. Wish I could give this place 10 stars!

The service was much more promt this time and the food was as awesome as it was last time. We had some time to talk to the owners and they were very nice people and gave us very personal service. This is definitely one of the best sushi places in all of philly!

By their corner store awning, you wouldn’t think this was a Japanese restaurant! But not only is there a Thai restaurant in the vicinity, but now we have a decent sushi spot for eat in/​take out and delivery! There is seating if you are waiting to be seated or takeout, but it was empty that we could sit anywhere we wanted (Tuesday night).
The cravings were pointing to sushi so we got the typical order (eel avocado, salmon avocado, spicy tuna, tuna avocado) plus a special roll (black dragon). We watched The Voice while the chef made our sushi, which took a reasonable amount of time. The sushi was great! Granted, I am no sushi snob but this place could definitely takeover as my go-​to sushi spot. It’s tasty, reasonably priced (bill came to $ 36) and local to me (I live a block away).
The service was great and very nice people (chef, server, chef’s son and another woman who may be chef’s wife). It is very cool and clean inside. There are signs on their menu that they accept credit/​debit card but when they picked up the payment, they informed us that they never received the machine so I had to run to the closest corner store to use their ATM. Hopefully this week they will be able to accept credit/​debit!
Also worth noting that the chef mentioned he was formerly at Morimoto and Fat Salmon ;)
Highly recommended. Hope to try more of their menu.

So glad there’s a sushi/​ramen place in S. Philly. Rarely do you see the two served in the same place. And I don’t have to trek to Chinatown to get my fix. Lovely place owned by a family. Super nice and prices are pretty reasonable. We ordered 7 rolls, which came with a salad, for $ 55. Everything was delicious, and I always appreciate when they ask how spicy you like it. We ordered very spicy of course. Even better, the owner made us two scallop apps for free to finish off the meal just for visiting the newly opened restaurant. Gestures like those, the delicious food, and awesome prices will def have us coming back. Didn’t get the try the ramen but I anticipate it being equally as delicious.

Trying this new restaurant

The price i think relative the same like others
