This is my go to spot of ramen and sushi. The prices are very affordable and the food is filling and yummy. They also have lunch specials and a happy hour that have some of the best prices in the city. The vibes are very fun and lively. A huge ironman statue welcomes you at the door. There is a mural filled with anime characters running around Philly's Chinatown in the center. They always are playing fun music.Service is great, the food always comes out super fast.

Popped into Yamitsuki Ramen after attending an event at the Pennsylvania Expo Center. They had a super convenient location. It was on the weekend, so it was cash only. This was posted outside, and staff made sure I was aware of this before being seated. I ordered a bowl of ramen, which was delivered quickly and was delicious. I spent a lot of time staring at their beautiful mural. It was fun looking at all the anime characters and trying to place what series they were from.It was great to have a nice, quiet meal after all the hustle and bustle.

Been coming here for lunch special recently -- pretty great! I'm trying all the lunch special options and so far the ramen has been the most delicious and best value IMO.Large space and the workers are attentive and active but still chill as I hang out on my computer. There probably was a misunderstanding today with me being seated by one waitress and then another thinking I sat myself down but overall they've been mostly cordial and good experiences. As of now, still plan to continue to come for the lunch special.

My friends daughter wanted Ramen so we decided to try Yamitsuki. We did not have a reservation and we were seated immediately. The food came out quickly. We allOrdered ramen. I ordered the Karai Ramen with chicken. The broth was delicious! There is bar inside of you want to order drinks. I ordered a sprite and for whatever reason was surprised that it was served to me in a can. If you want a sweet tea be aware that you would need to add the sugar yourself. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive.

We arrived in Philadelphia around 9:30pm and rushed before the restaurant closed at 10pm. I've had way better ramen and sushi. The place smelled bad as well. The Diet Coke I ordered was dirty on top of the can.

Nice spot. They play hip-hop music. I would bring young kids bc the music isn't edited.The service was good. I sat at the bar and was served immediately and that wasn't due to a lack of patrons but rather the attentiveness of the bar staff. The sushi roll was good and the Ramen delish. I took some rolls back to the hotel for my wife to try and she crushed what I had left. Despite the outside surroundings the restaurant appeared clean. I didn't do the bathroom check and tbh I was attending a conference and didn't have loads of time to take in the to be examined as I needed to eat and go. Pleasant experience. I had an Old Fashion and it was good. Not too strong nor watered down. I would come back again.

Enjoyed the anime theme throughout the restaurant, and the staff was pleasant and worked as a team to take and serve orders which was nice to see. It took less than 5 minutes from ordering our appetizers (karaage chicken and chicken steamed buns) for them to be served to us. And barely another 5 minutes before our entrees showed up which was almost concerningly quick. I had the shrimp tempura udon for my entree and wasn't super thrilled with my choice. Was very bland, and I was quite disappointed. The chicken steamed buns were also a bit disappointing. Perhaps the pork would have been a better choice? Hubby was happy with his choice of the yamitsuki ramen, and we both enjoyed the karaage chicken.Overall, it wasn't the worst experience we have had, but also, I don't know that it will be a place i return

Came here on a Friday night with a friend, and I was actually confused where the door was because it was all glass and I didn't know where the handle was. Long behold there was a small door on the side that you could open. ( I was standing there looking confused and dumb lol)Anyways first time here since I'm visiting and they only accept cash on weekends (Friday, sat,sun) so make sure you bring cash or use the ATM machine they have inside. The food came out quick and we were sat down fast, I had a mixed drink and I got the miso ramen. We also shared Takoyaki as an appetizer as well. Food was good, broth was good light and flavorful and noodles were too my liking, not too hard, not to soft. They play literally music in here kinda loud, I felt like I lowkey was at the club lol.My only complaint was that we didn't have a lot of cash on us so we ended tipping the waitress with whatever left cash we had (which was 8$) and right when we got our check back she was explaining that minimum tipping is mandatory and that we needed to tip, I literally apologize and said I didn't have anymore cash on me and I wasn't going to use the atm to get money to tip, so she said she can take Apple Pay or Venmo. I literally thought to myself "is this a Philly thing?" And then I said it out Loud and she looked at me and I was like wtf I've never heard of something like this, she walked away and was prob talking shit but she came back and said "if it's too inconvenient for you then you don't have to" so then I was like what was the point of giving me your Venmo then. So then I got up and was like okay what ever byeeeeeee LOL. Idk if I'll be back because that literally ruined my mood. Like girl you checked on me maybe 1 time and you didn't even refill my glass of water.

The first time I stepped into this place. I was just walking around after a Dr Appt. I wasn't too sure if I wanted something to eat or not. When I walked pass the building, it caught my eye. So I walked in & I was in odds. I have never had ramen other than making what I buy for home. I was so excited when I walked in & was seated right away. My waiter knew that it was my first time experiencing authentic ramen. So I was brought the chef special & little samples of apps. It's been awhile since I've been back there but I am now planning to make a stop there & walk around Chinatown.
