Best Japanese Restaurants in Chestnut Hill

Came back after more than ten years and the food is still very good. The A5 wagyu and the toro are excellent as was the sparkling sake. The katsu and udon are delicious and the tamari chocolate dessert with sesame ice cream was creative and tasty. Service was attentive, informative, and efficient. All in all, a mainstay in the Philly restaurant scene that you can't go wrong with.

I love this place. The price for the value is good, the sushi is always fresh, staff is friendly, and they have a decent variety without it being overwhelming choices.

This Benihana location has really upped its game from a few years ago! From the moment we walked in, everyone was friendly and accommodating. We were on time for our reservation but requested to have a few minutes at the bar. Bartenders were friendly and served up delicious drinks quickly. Hibachi chef, Hai (not sure of spelling), was outstanding & performed a trick or two I hadn't seen before. Food was delicious. Jenny, who has been there for years and oversees customers' special occasions, was fun & attentive. Our server, Alex, was also friendly & attentive. Bathroom was clean. Couple suggestions - restaurant could use some music so that when hibachi show is over, there is some ambience. Also menus, etc. could use more frequent wipe-down. Overall, they are doing a great job here. It's one of the few Benihanas left in the region - let's keep it bustling with business!

This was our second visit to the Bryn Mawr restaurant. Our normal go-to has been the Berwyn location for many years. The Bryn Mawr restaurant is every bit as good as Berwyn and we recommend either. Haven’t tried the Royersford location yet but I’m sure it is every bit as good as it’s sister locations.

Made a reservation for a birthday party, server was phenomenal, staff was very kind, restaurant was clean and food was awesome. Great assortment of options for a group with mixed dietary restrictions and allergies. Also server made sure to bring back cooler bag and all the cold packs I had brought with the cake at the end of our meal. Great time had by entire group.
