Royal Sushi & Izakaya

A really special place. Their food is a heightened izakaya theme with sushi. Food is consistent. They import their fish from Japan so the care and quality is impeccable. If you actually enjoy sushi, not American sauce slathered rice rolls, then this is your place. I usually get a variety of food and it's uncommon for me to not enjoy an item. My friend is vegetarian and adores their curry bun and red pepper roll. Great sake collection and bartenders make great drinks. I can't comment on the omakase because I have never been successful in acquiring a reservation, but the izakaya is nothing to sleep on.

Have been multiple times and it’s always a 12/10 service, food, atmosphere.

Yummy fish

Saw your Bon Appétit YT spot. Man, I want your food. It's definitely a reason to visit Philly.

Awesome food and great drinks!

This is the izakaya to check out in Philly. The vibe is relaxed, the food is fresh and reasonably priced, and the staff are friendly. Besides other staples, I had the sourdough okonomiyaki. It isn’t authentic to a region but it maintains the essence, meaning it’s worth it. With drinks, paid a very reasonable $25 pp.
