  Had a late dinner on a Saturday night here and had a great experience. Sushi was excellent and prepared by two very friendly and generous gentlemen. The Poke bowl was extremely good!!!!  The aloha option with tofu was the perfect sweet/spicy mix. Fresh and delicious!  The Thom Yum soup perfection. The spring salad with ginger dressing also perfect. Good service and very decent prices. We were surprised the place wasn't packed. Highly recommend!

  Meh...I don't do much here besides Teriyaki, not a sushi or seafood person.  I haven't ordered in a while and had some last night, it was pretty disappointing.    
  
  First off, I was told my order would be ready in 30 minutes.  I assumed they were slammed, but still got there in 20 minutes as I didn't want my food sitting around.  Sure enough, my food was waiting and would have sat another 10 minutes had I not left early.  And the restaurant was empty, just a couple tables taken.  Off to a pretty bad start...  
  
  Secondly, it is expensive.  For 15$, you get rice, a chicken breast and a handful of greenbeans.   Maybe I should have ordered off the lunch menu which includes soup, salad and California roll for 12.50.  Not sure what the deal is on the dinner menu, or why you can't make a platter for chicken teriyaki dinner, but it seemed like quite a rip off compared to the lunch offering.  
  
  I ordered the mixed green salad for another 6 bucks to round out the meal.  Nice size, but wow, the ginger dressing was junk!  Runny like a vinaigrette, no texture to it...good ginger dressing is thicker, like it was made out of a bunch of delicious fruits and vegetables.  I wondered if I got the wrong dressing at first, but it did have a gingery taste.   The chicken wasn't hot and barely had any sauce on it...I like to dump my rice in there and let it soak up some teriyaki, but there was barely enough for the chicken.
  
  I basically paid 25 bucks for a salad, chicken breast, rice, and some green beans, it was very expensive, and very disappointing.

  On another visit to the Philly area we decided to take in a new spot.  Thai Pepper is a combined restaurant with Kikado a Japanese sushi house.  Honestly, I don't know what to take of the place so I am going to break it out.
  1) Food presentation was 5 star.  A phaelenopsis orchid bloom adorned my shrimp pad thai entree.  It was the most perfect bloom that I wanted to rake off my plate to place in my hair.  I realized that was probably not a good thing to do in the restaurant.
  2) the menu was large and covered Asian cuisine.   We had the Chinese-American dishes to Pike bowls to sushi to pad thai.  
  3)  the atmosphere is very nice.  Nicely decorated and not too loud even when crowded. However, the fountain at the front door didn't work, but was very pretty.
  4)  the service was OK.  It seemed as though they only had a few servers, and given the fact that the place was pretty large they could have used a few extra hands.  I had to ask for water a few times because my glass would oftentimes go empty.
  5)  the food was tasty and well prepared.
  
  I would give this place a go again.

  I spent $70 on takeout that was probably the worst sushi my boyfriend and I have ever had. The fish was sour, the rice was stale (and there was A LOT of it), and the tempura was soggy. We ended up throwing it out. I regret not tasting or taking a closer look at what I ordered, but I really wasn't expecting it to be so terrible. As a positive, the staff I encountered were very polite when I arrived. But don't spend your money here. Just don't.

  I'm going to go 5 stars here simply because of the lunch specials they offer.  Very distinct and affordable.  The panang Duck was about $11 and adding a soup/spring roll was just a couple of bucks more at lunch.  Great value.
