564635 Tue Oct 14 06:27:36 -0700 2008 15 15 Pennsylvania 0 4102885 I'm looking for a restaurant for a group of 6 women to go for sushi for a birthday celebration. I'd like to also find one that's BYO, if possible. Anything in Philadelphia or the burbs. Thanks!!

Tue Oct 14 06:33:28 -0700 2008 4102885 20485 mitchh 1 4102908 There's a new place on the corner of Tasker and Passyunk, Izumi, that's BYO. Zento is BYO and excellent but the atmosphere isn't that great. Tue Oct 14 06:44:44 -0700 2008 4102885 29811 Buckethead 1 4102955 We enjoy Kisso at 4th and Race (BYO) Tue Oct 14 07:19:03 -0700 2008 4102885 76938 Bigley9 1 4103151 Ginza on Montgomery Ave in Narberth has good sushi and is BYO Tue Oct 14 08:35:32 -0700 2008 4102885 210226 rocknroll52 1 4103299 If the "burbs" are okay, try Bluefin in Plymouth meeting on Germantown pike. Not much to look at from the outside, but nice inside and great fish. it's BYO. Tue Oct 14 09:23:34 -0700 2008 4102885 232552 bhforc 1 4103448 Mikado in Cherry Hill. Great sushi, innovative rolls. They have one of those private screened rooms where you sit on the floor. Great fun. They even let you bring in outside cake for dessert if you want. Tue Oct 14 10:15:39 -0700 2008 4102885 11355 joluvscards 1 4103492 We also enjoy Uzu on Market between Front and 2nd. They have outdoor seating, weather permitting. Tue Oct 14 10:29:14 -0700 2008 4102885 68582 phillychowgrl 1 4103564 Who knew so many sushi places were BYO. Someone should email this thread to the PA Liquor Control Board, maybe they'd start carrying better Sake! Tue Oct 14 10:54:46 -0700 2008 4102885 76938 Bigley9 2 4103821 I hear you bigley. The PA Store on 2nd street actually has a decent selection. The best stuff in there is behind the counter called Hakutsuru draft sake. Traditional sake drinkers will probably not care for it. It's $5 for 300ml but very light and dry. I like Umai Umai in the Art Museum area. Uzu and Zento are good. Tue Oct 14 12:14:43 -0700 2008 4103564 21388 juice 2 4103892 Every State store that I have been in carries Sake. Tue Oct 14 12:35:18 -0700 2008 4103564 20485 mitchh 3 4103945 generally only one or two good ones though and then only if you are lucky Tue Oct 14 12:52:37 -0700 2008 4103892 76938 Bigley9 1 4104232 MakiMan Sushi off of Oxford Ave in the Northeast is fun, has good food, and won't break the bank. http://www.eatsushi.com/makimansushi/ Tue Oct 14 14:38:54 -0700 2008 4102885 186865 doxiemom 1 4104878 Sagami in Collingswood NJ. Just over the Ben Franklin Bridge. You can swing by Moore Bros and pick up a bottle of saki (nice selection) and/ or bottled wine. Tue Oct 14 19:19:06 -0700 2008 4102885 182432 SpdRcr069 2 4104896 yes! Moore Bros NJ has great sake (DE does not, fyi) Tue Oct 14 19:28:56 -0700 2008 4104878 76938 Bigley9 1 4107112 I really like Miraku in Springhouse, great sushi, nice atmosphere, its my favorite in the burbs.
