MORIMOTO RESTAURANT REVIEWS
We had Omakase at the bar and it was excellent! The food was innovative. They combined foods and prepared ingredients in ways I’ve never seen before. All the dishes played with combining different flavor profiles and textures like sweet and salty or crunchy and smooth. The service was knowledgeable and polite. I definitely would recommend coming here sometime.
This place exceeded my expectations. The staff was attentive and very knowledgeable on the dishes they served. I was able to enjoy the chef special 7 course meal. Took me through an amazing experience through the vision of the chef. Absolutely fenominal. One of the best meals ive had!
WOW. Hands down one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I had the chef’s tasting menu and OH MAN was it GOOD! Service was perfect (thank you Hannah!), timing of courses was spot on. Drinks were excellent. Even the plating was gorgeous. So glad I came into town and was able to dine here. Way to go chefs.

TERAKAWA RAMEN REVIEWS
First time here. Came during lunch and it wasn't crazy packed. Was promptly welcomed and seated by the hostess/waitress. Menus are available through scanning the QR code on your phone. I decided to go with the takoyaki appetizer and gyu don. I made the mistake of eating the takoyaki right away and easily burned my mouth. It was delicious though. Nice and warm and the octopus was not tough. The sauces on top and the bonito flakes brought all of the appetizer together perfectly. The gyu don was very filling and tasty as well. The shaved meat was tender and flavorful and the caramelized onions added a touch of sweetness. The slightly runny egg was a nice addition too. If I'm ever in Philly again, I'm coming here for more. Definitely a must try in Philadelphia's Chinatown. Decently priced food in a bustling location with polite, kind, and welcoming staff. Go check them out.
My favorite ramen spot in Philadelphia. The place is always crowded but i believe that is the sign of delicious foods. I always ordered Tan Tan Ramen with extra Chasu along with Mini Curry Rice Bowl that can be ordered if you order ramen or udon. For appetizer, will be and always Takoyaki, my favorite.
You know this place is good because there is a long wait time. Wait time on Saturday was around an hour. Honestly worth the wait. When we got in and ordered food came out in a timely manner. Got the takoyaki and karage curry udon. My friends got ramen, everything was amazing!

Double Knot is a charming Japanese restaurant with a secret izakaya in the basement offering sushi & robatayaki meats. Michael Schulson is the chef and owner of the Double Knot. This is a two-story restaurant with a cafe seating area upstairs and a dining room/bar seating area downstairs. This is an excellent place to get drinks and snacks and chat with friends. Double Knot restaurant's decoration, layout, and vibe are comparable to an izakaya and more upscale. The dimly lit dining room ambiance is excellent for a date or a cool hangout place to grab a drink and eat. The menu is quite extensive, with lots of options. They have A la carte-style or tasting menu-style dining options. In addition, there is a chef's choice option where you get one dish from each of the ten categories for $60 per person.

DOUBLE KNOT REVIEWS
We had a group of 9 for a birthday. We had reservations. That's important! We were seated together, but they usually do not do groups over 8. It's small, dark, and a great experience! The group ordered a variety and often shared to experience everything. With drinks, it came to about $54 each. It was worth it.
I’ve been multiple times and always a great experience. Hazel had great service and we enjoyed our dinner. I would recommend trying to get a table downstairs for a cozier, more date night feel. Just wish they had lychee martinis; other than that 10 out of 10 experience!
Attentive and considerate service and overall good food that is certainly worth the price point. I wish the place was less dark and had more lights because I had a difficult time seeing things and walking in the restaurant, but it was a nice atmosphere. Food portion was also good.
