Amazing experience, food was delicious, everything came out hot and fresh quickly, sushi was fresh and buttery, could tell it was good quality fish. Service was wonderful, quick and checked in often. Pricing is more than fair. BYOB was fun, we brought sake and waiter brought us sake cups right away. We will be back next time we are in Philly! Our new date night spot. Long live Tomo.

Second time visiting this Uchi location. Everything was great! I had the walu walu, soft shell crab roll, brussels sprouts and fried squash. For drinks, Subarashj and the lychee martini. Great service.

Excellent food and service. Did not love the overdone Halloween decorations, but that’s just me. Overall, it was great, and I’ll be back when in Philly.
