Editorial Review for Moshi Moshi – by Abigail Marceluk
The Scene
Decor is quiet and minimalist, with lots of bamboo and subtle paper lanterns. Sit at a table, the sushi bar or on raised tatami mats.
The Food
Standards like miso soup and gyoza (dumplings) are flavorful but not overpowering. For a more adventurous appetizer, try Tiger Eyes, cooked squid wrapped around asparagus and salmon, with a pleasant combination of textures and flavors. Entree options include plenty of sushi, plus teriyaki, tempura and sukiyaki made with your choice of beef, chicken, lobster or shrimp. Lobster tempura features four mid-size lobster tails and generous portions of vegetables in a light, crisp batter. For dessert, don't miss tempura ice cream on a plate of flaming sake.
The Crowd
Rittenhouse sushi-lovers looking for a quieter atmosphere than the more crowded and expensive Genji nearby.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkThey're serious about their large sake: It arrives in a teapot and could easily serve four to six. Don't order it for two unless you mean it.

I have been a repeat customer for the past 2.5 years, frequenting at least once every 2 months. Usually the service, food, and atmosphere have been excellent. I was very disappointed to arrive on the Sunday the evening before Labor Day at 8:20pm and was told I would not be seated because they planned on closing at 9:00pm that evening. I noted that the open sign was still present and the front door was wedged open. The staff member just shook her head and said they were closed (even though there were 5 tables seated and plenty of tables empty). It's disappointing to know that 40 minutes prior to the restaurant's closing is too little time to seat and serve a party of 2. I just know that I will not be returning to Moshi Moshi.
Pros: good sushi
Cons: poor service, staff itching to leave right at closing time

This is some of the better sushi I've had in Philly. The place is really cute (downstairs; upstairs, not so much). The service is fast and very friendly, and the food is well worth the price. Moshi is perfect for a date or a quick dinner with friends. I would highly recommend it.
Pros: Everything!
Cons: Don't sit upstairs- no atmosphere.
