In Short – Eighth-generation Minoyabunemons--descendants of those who served Japan's Maeda samurai for centuries--create Asian specialties with contemporary twists. Here, regulars mingle with businessmen in a simple, elegant space swathed in chocolates and maroons. Three menus provide endless sharing options: Sushi features creative maki; Edo offers traditional cuisine; Kondate has modern dishes, such as King Crab tempura. They also offer their signature Kasane Tempura--buckwheat noodles with veggies served in three-tier baskets emblazoned with the Minoyabunemon seal.

Best ginger creme brulee!!
by ci2yi3ai3y
I had my birthday dinner here thinking that it was BYOB from a previous review. I came to find out that they weren't BYOB, that in fact they had their own bar. The restaurant is spacious, more spacious than most sushi restaurants I've been to. And it has a very nice ambience as well as outdoor seating. We arrived about 5 minutes before happy hour ended and by the time we ordered, it was over, but they still accomodated the half priced mixed drinks for our first order. The sashimi and sushi was fresh and delicious. The ginger creme brulee was to die for. At first I wasn't going to try it because I really don't like ginger too much, but our waitress gave us a small sample and it was delicious!!
- Pros: creme brulee, ambience
- Cons: parking, price

Amazing Sushi, Best Sake, anywhere
by watanobu
New menu and new sushi bar are amazing. I have eaten at many Japanese restaurants across the nation, and also in Japan, so I know something of the "Japanese" tastes. Our Nile perch and Rib Eye Steak were simply perfect. Triple Sashimi Dinner with a Naruto Roll was just wonderful, with a clean taste and right portions, for our sashimi lover. Excellent Sake at much lower price than others. New Japanese management team with the new executive chef seems to be doing an excellent job in rebuilding this gem behind the Rodin Museum. No lunch, though its full kitchen is open late into the evening.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Parking

Little Tokyo of Philly!!
by tccookie
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING... I've been to Tokyo and Goji offers so many dishes that I had in Tokyo. The Traditional menu cannot be beat by any Japanese restaurant in Philly. The Kasane Tempura Soba is delicious!! The Tempura tasted amazingly crispy and light. Smelled wonderful and had the same presentation as in Tokyo. One of my girlfriend had the seaweed salad and the King Crab Tempura. Ofcourse I stole some from her lol. My dinner reminded me of Tokyo so much. Cant wait to go back.
- Pros: Food, Service, Ambiance.
- Cons: Parking
