What People Are Saying About Shiroi Hana Restaurant
Featured Review
Contributor
Contributor
In Short – The main dining room--contemporary in style with hardwood flooring and tasteful artwork--accommodates tables of two and four, with an eight-seat sushi bar for solo patrons. Service, while friendly, operates on a less-is-more philosophy. Although other Japanese spots garner more fanfare, Shiroi is undoubtedly upper-echelon. The tuna used for both the sushi and special maki is simply sublime; the spider roll is a treat crustacean fans will salivate over.
Editor's Tips
- Second Floor Dining:
- On Friday and Saturday nights, the second floor dining room is open. Private rooms include tatami tables.
- Know Before You Go:
- This is a great place to stop by for a bite if you're heading to or from the nearby Avenue of the Arts.

Try the Tofu Sukiyaki!
by alohaphiladelphia at Citysearch
I've been here three times. The vegetarian tofu sukiyaki is my favorite- it's one of the the most delicious dishes I've had in Philadelphia. Big thick-style mung noodles, veggies, tofu in a truly delicious hot broth. I've brought friends here for dinner before the Kimmel center, and always see at least two friends when I'm there. Attentive, knowledgeable staff - not pretentious. Warm, beautiful lighting. Cozy. My sushi-eating friends have always noted how good the place is, and if you don't like sushi, like me, there are wonderful other Japanese dishes!. You can count on this place for a good meal, warm atmosphere, good prices, with simple elegance.
- Pros: Delicious flavors, friendly and warm staff
- Cons: n/a

Ignore the absurd dismissal that precedes this review
by MFaccenda at Citysearch
Please try to minimize whatever credibility you lent to the previous review. Anyone who will publicly admit that their friendships are contingent upon a restaurant-recommendation is a pitiful product of modern cultural pretentiousness. This restaurant is NOT bad. I lived in Japan for 2 years and I've eaten lots of Sushi. I am not , therefore, an expert, but Shiroi Hana is a good value. It's unpretentious, has good service, and is worth a try. Unless you want to go out to eat with the previous reviewer, you'll probably enjoy your experience.
- Pros: good value, NOT bad
- Cons: Not exceptional

Good sushi at a reasonable price
by Iamafatty at Citysearch
What a deal! This place consistently has fantastic, fresh sushi at such a reasonable price. If you truly enjoy good sushi you should make this place a must visit. Their specialty rolls are unique and relatively well priced for Center City.
- Pros: Quality of sushi, freshness, ability to get in on any given night
- Cons: ambiance? who cares??

Best sushi
by marisadz at Citysearch
I've been to most of the sushi restaurants around the city, and this is still my favorite. I haven't found any other place that compares in terms of freshness, style, and combinations. They never disappoint. I haven't tried any of their regular entrees, but their appetizers are very good - I highly recommend the scallops appetizer.
- Pros: Sushi!
- Cons: nothing!
