I love ordering the platters at Seiko. We've gotten the blue mountain party tray and the ocean party tray before. The rolls are fresh and tasty and nigiri is pretty good - not the MOST fresh/tasty but still tasty and had a lot of variety.Blue mountain party tray is our favorite for special occasions - especially the volcano roll and the northern liberty. I really liked this tray because there was a ton of variety and roll-to-roll, it didn't feel like I was eating the same combination of spicy tuna, eel, crab, etc. like some other places. 80 pieces sounds like a lot but the rolls are pretty small, so the blue mountain party tray coupled with maybe 1-2 more special rolls fed 3 hungry people.

This is the best Chirashi bowl I've had in Philly (and I've been everywhere). The usual suspects are here - tuna and salmon - along with albacore tuna and striped bass. I requested scallop and mackerel and they accommodated me. The rice is mixed with mushrooms and pickled vegetables. There are two kinds of fish eggs, small and large, and a spicy jalapeño sauce on a couple of the fishes. The portion size feels right and it's very reasonably priced. Wonderful atmosphere right on the edge of NoLibs area. It's BYOB, but †hat's fine with me. I always look at food first. Next time, I will let the chef totally pick every fish!

I was in the neighborhood and felt like having some sushi so I decided to try this place. I walked in and there wasn't anyone else there but the decor was cute and the hostess was so sweet. I got the rainbow roll, the firecracker roll, and the "I love tuna" roll. The rolls were slightly smaller than I'm used to but honestly no complaints because it was the perfect size bite for me. Very tasty. Definitely would recommend.

We ordered in from Seiko for Valentines Day, and it was the perfect meal to share and celebrate the love holiday. Their rolls were packed with flavor and creative, but they also had great staples like the miso soup & green salad. I would highly recommend the green salad, as I thought their ginger dressing was superb. I had both the Cap N Crunch Maki and Northern Liberty Maki - they were top notch as far as sushi goes in the city. Fresh and flavorful. All reasonably priced too. Their menu is huge. I definitely plan on trying them again.

Got the Fire Cracker 1 Ich Maki Combo. Welcoming service, quick ordering and food to table. It's BYOB and they can make space for larger groups. I always forget about their lunch specials, but they have great combo entrees and roll specials if you can make it in on the weekdays. Lovely!

I had dinner here Thursday April 8th. Since Kisso was closed I looked for something nearby and that I'd not been to previously. Voila. This was the choice.An open, front to back view is what you will find upon visiting Seiko. White interior with red accents. Not hip, not retro. It just is. Comforting in some respects. It's comfortable being what it is.Welcomed by an enthusiastic and smiling hostess, (I could tell by the crinkles at the outer ends of her eyes that she was smiling, even behind her mask.) I took a window seat, which was not a problem given there were on tis wet night only four other diners in.No alcohol on the menu; soft drinks, juices, tea and water only. Probably a goof thing given how hard it was raining.)In any new-to-me sushi restaurant my go to initial order is a spicy tuna handroll. I find that's a give away answer to The Clash's question: "Should I stay or should I go now?"Here the answer was, "ehh, maybe you can stay". A small drumstick sized handroll contained a mash of tuna, sriracha and maybe sambal and sesame oil, with sesame seed and scallion garnish. Uninspiring, but it was serviceable.I should have gone.I'm a nigiri guy. So we took a dive into hamachi, madai, sake (2 portions), maguro. The hamachi and madai were the better of what was one the rectangular, sushi presentation tray. There was some freshness and spring to the fish, though neither glistened nor gave a sweet smell of the sea; and the rice was fairly dense and clumped. None of the fish really had a scent. All pretty anodyne. Of course, they could have had bad odors. I recognize that. It was just that there was no uplifting factor. It was all just very "mehh".One bright spot: the hostess. Attentive, detailed, appreciative. On this gloomy night at Seiko, she was the element of the restaurant that shone brightest and best.

Move over Sakura! Seiko is our new go to place for sushi takeout now. The San Maki combo is my favorite. $19.95 gets you three rolls - shrimp tempura maki, spider roll and a tuna roll. These are quality and fresh rolls that are worth the money.They've got cheap and yummy lunch specials too - two maki rolls with side of miso soup or salad for $9.95 and bento boxes for under $15. Definitely taking advantage of this while we're still working from home.

The food is great! Nice portions. We ordered so much food and it was very reasonable for sushi! The staff is so delightful and very service oriented. The restaurant is cute and about 10 tables. Cute street to walk along.

Such good sushi!! I went with two of my friends and we all enjoyed the food, but it was a Friday night two hours before closing and service was slow. It takes them a while to make your food depending on what it is. If it's rice, soup, or salad it comes quick but any sushi or sashimi takes a while. They're super nice and clean and the food is so good that I think as long as you go with friends/family and have good conversation you'll be fine. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality and taste of the food, though keep in mind you'll end up spending 100$+ if you buy a lot lol so keep track of what you order.
