Reviews

I went there for their lunch the other day and disappointed with their quality. Even my daughters didn’t eat much or like their meat. Meats were not tenderized enough. The marinade short rib was a bit too salty and definitely doesn’t taste prime to me. Too much fat and too much tendon you can’t even chew through. We did their Signature AYCE with a party of 5, including my 1yo. Bottom of menu said gratuity charge for party of 6. When the bill came the staff said it was recently changed to party of 5. I didn’t quite feel right to be charge 20% tip on top of tax automatically. One I didn’t think my 1yo would be consider, but the staff said she is still sitting on the table. Fine. But recently change to a party of 5? I asked her to show me the new menu then. She said they are printing. Then i said then you should wait until they are printed and the customers can see that then charge the gratuity that way. She didn’t say anything and went to fix that up. One good thing about them is they did grand senior discount of 10%.  Bottom line. No I will not return. I rather go Gyu, which is 10x better in meat quality and taste. Very disappointed with this meal. All 5 of us didn’t like the meal. It was all for the picture taking. Sad.

Pretty good Japanese BBQ! I got a good deal during restaurant week so I sampled the Angus beef rib, top blade steak, torro brisket and some rice and veggies. Everything cooked well and tasted good! I especially appreciated my waiter being attentive ie changed my grill though I did feel a little rushed because he was hovering around my table towards the end. Otherwise, I had a good time and would definitely come back!

We found this gem during our last trip to Philadelphia, loved the interior authentic Japanese decors + wall arts & had a great time here. We definitely had the full Jomon Experience which consisted of their signature Japanese bbq stairs and newly added Japanese shabushabu.  Quality of the meats were very good, especially the A5 wagyu , grilled 3seconds on each side, cooked to the perfection and it just melts in your mouth.  seafood were so fresh including abalone, shrimps, scallops and squid. In addition, there are so many different veggies you can have to go with both the bbq and shabushabu.  Everything was reasonably priced & convenient garage parking across the street, thats if you don’t want to park on the street free street parking after 6pm.  Highly recommend .

Quantity over quality along with inexperienced service.  Order the sumo set for two and there was a good amount of food and side dishes. However the quality of the meat was severely lacking. The set we ordered contained wagyu but even that was frozen and so lacking in quality such that we were not sure if it actually was wagyu.  There was not a single piece of meat that met my expectations. Every piece was subpar in quality and frozen. Nothing seemed fresh. The lobster and shrimp were acceptable, but even then the quality was not that good.  The presentation of the meat/seafood for the sets certainly is flashy but that is about it.  The scallops were creamy but had a weird taste as if they were raw.  We ordered the corn with cheese, and it tasted completely unseasoned. Basically boiled corn with some hard tasteless cheese on top.  The only thing I genuinely liked was the fried shrimp that came with the set.  The servers were also inexperienced as they had forgotten parts of the order and confused some of the menu items with each other.

After a Jazz show at Chris' my buddy and I were hungry, but didn't want a full dinner. We were considering the bar menu at Fogo de Chão, but saw this on Google Maps and decided it was a more adventurous choice. At 9:00PM it was PRETTY full but we were able to snag a deuce by the front window. Staff was young, hip and unpretentious. Tried some green tea shots that were cheap, but delicious we had the Jameson. The cool thing here is that you can do an AYCE or order a la carte, depending on your hunger level and schedule. Either way, it's a bargain. We ordered skirt and hanger, which are flavorful, and usually tough, though ours was tender enough.. The pork belly was sliced thin, and melted in your mouth. You're not coming here for Prime beef. The quality was excellent for the price. Didn't try the Wagyu, but I'll explore more ambitious cuts in the future. Pineapple was our choice of "vegetable" and was a great counterpoint to the rich meats.  Each of the sauces were unique and it was a ball trying all the combinations. It turned out being a memorable event in addition to a quick and tasty meal. Wait staff accommodate our unreasonable request to have our saké both warm and cool with a laugh even though the place was pretty busy.  Anyway, a serendipitous find, and I will return soon with my wife.

Came here on a Friday night with no reservation and was luckily seated. My partner and I ordered the premium meat option and was not disappointed. The meat was well marinated and there was good variety. The meat was definitely a hit but some of the sides were a huge miss. We sent back the dumplings and the Japanese fried rice after taking one bite. The karaage fried chicken was phenomenal. I would recommend trying this restaurant at least once.

I think all these 5 star reviews about the food are fake or paid. Came in on Sunday, the meat were all discolored and had a pungent smell to it, we notified our waitress about it and they did their best to help accommodate us. The glasses and settings were all dirty. Air is also very stuffy. The only good thing about our visit was that the waitresses were extremely friendly and helpful throughout this situation. Definitely will not be coming back here.  I wish I stayed home. Now I'm on the toilet after eating all those since we didn't want to waste food. Also cant waste the food because they have a $10 charge policy. Not worth the $49.95.

Nice casual Japanese BBQ with good value. We got the Classic Jomon Experience at about $40 per person, decent value. The meat quality is alright, but surprisingly my favorite was the spicy chicken. You can also have as much sides as you want. They mixed up a little Korean sides too with some kimchi option. The servers were very nice and accommodating. Service speed was good although it was a slow night, so hopefully they have the same speed on busy nights. In any case, i was satisfied with the whole experience. Good value & satisfying for Philadelphia standards.

While my party and I were expecting to try a different spot in the area instead, when we unfortunately found that it was closed, we had to look for another place to satisfy our Asian BBQ craving within the area. After dining at Jomon last night, I would go out on a limb and say that this should have been our first choice.  Although the price might be a bit high for some people's tastes, unlike a lot of All-You-Can-Eat BBQ locations, the meat selection was quite noticeably good. Even if you didn't use any of the sauces, I think you'd have a hard time finding any of the meats to be lacking in flavor or texture.  What really impressed me was the quality of service. Our server was very on top of everything we needed. He was happy to introduce us to the menu, to each individual piece of meat we got, and quickly refilled our drinks and replaced our cooktop without us ever having to prompt him.  The ambiance was also great. The seating was comfortable and a lot of love went into decorating the space. I would absolutely recommend this location. Especially as a date spot.

The grilled items were all just okay. Nothing really stood out. The side dishes were slightly better than the meat/seafood options. You required to start out with the staircase. Biggest problem I had with food is the portions they hand out are quite small each round. The flavor is okay, but the focus on utilizing the dipping sauces for the non marinated meats.  The reason for the low rating was the service from our server. People have bad days, but our server seemed to be in particularly non-happy mood. We had a couple of grill changes, which he seemed annoyed to change. Was annoyed with how we cooked our marinated meats first, even though he did not tell us until after we started cooking. Not a welcoming environment. A second server who occasionally helped out was much more welcoming than our main server.  The drinks were great, food was okay, but the service was just putrid. There are better options around the city food wise and service wise. Was good to experience a new restaurant, but would not go back again.
