Double Knot - Philadelphia (PA)

5 /5 Sabrina B: My 8th time coming here and every single time it is outstanding. Breonna and Jordan are fabulous waiters and make the experience so lovely. Cynthia the manager always checks in on tables. From the sea bass, truffle fried rice, robatayaki, to their simple salmon avocado roll - you can not “order wrong” at Double Knot. Hands down my favorite restaurant in Philadelphia, Jean-Georges should be ashamed to be in the vicinity. If you’re on the fence - Double Knot is a MUST.

5 /5 Kinka Mondal: The new year had to begin with a bang, so on the very first Friday we chose this renowned Japanese restaurant to satisfy our craving for authentic Japanese cuisine. Every single dish felt like a work of art, showcasing remarkable creativity and attention to detail. Beyond the food, the warmth with which everything was served truly stood out—the hospitality was exceptional. We placed complete trust in our server’s recommendations, and he curated the perfect selection for us. Highly recommended.

5 /5 Z: Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Everything was perfect and enjoyable. I rally had a great night and will definitely be back for more. It’s perfect for a date night or a friends night out. Not kid friendly and not wheelchair accessible.

5 /5 Sierra Yeam: My first time here and I loved it! The only thing is the seatings are sooooo closed to each other it feels really tight. We decided to have a seat at the love chair for a more intimate happy hour experience even though it’s besides the restroom but it didn’t bother us. The prices were reasonable and I love how if you have a seat at a happy hour table you can also order from their standard menu. Let’s take a deep dive on everything I tried. The love knot cocktail was sooo good it reminded me of a lemon drop. The shrimp tacos were really gooooood. The edamame dumpling was my absolute favorite because I loveeeee truffle flavor. The shrimp tempura was good as well I just wish there was spicy mayo we could’ve add on top, the spicy tuna was spicyyyyy but flavorful and delicious! The tuna crispy rice was another one of my favorites I love the two textures together of the crispy rice and spicy tuna. The oysters was another good one it had a burst of spicy flavor with a nice buttery taste to the oyster. & to end my meal I finished off with a cocktail I forgot the name of it but it was a similar taste to the rose cocktail but a little more sour. All in all our server Olivia was amazing the service was top tier, food was delicious for happy hour prices! Another thing I would like to add is I collect matches from restaurants that I’ve tried and this restaurant was the only one on this block that did not have any.

5 /5 A: We came to Double Knot for our 5 year anniversary after having multiple people recommend it to us, and we did not leave disappointed. The atmosphere was so warm feeling I loved the underground sort of feel, though I wish there was a smidge more space between tables as we felt a little cramped. We had actually gone to Sampan last year and did the chefs tasting menu, so decided to do the same at Double Knot. You get 10 dishes. We chose the Tuna Tartare for our cold, not my personal favorite but still very good. Wagyu soup dumplings for our small which similar to Sampan their dumplings are delicious. We actually got 3 robatayaki because of an accidental miscommunication so we got the Tokyo scallion, lamb chops, and salmon scallops which we agreed was our favorite thing as it was full of flavor and melted in your mouth. For the crispy we got the Japanese Fried Chicken which was my second favorite it was so crispy and had some tangy flavor to it, it paired very well with the aioli it came with. We did pork tonkatsu for the meat, and you cant go wrong with a good pork tonkatsu. For the fish we did the Japanese Scallop, and as someone that typically doesnt love scallops they were very good. Our side was the shrimp udon mazeman, which my partner really loved, they kept saying how delicious it was. We got the yellow tail sashimi which the orange and the Serrano pepper it comes with really paired well together. For our sushi we went with the Double Knot Big Eye tuna, which may have been the best sushi Ive ever had. Our meal finished with our dessert a miso and caramel ice cream which was such a delicious blend of sweet and savory. Another absolutely wonderful dinner from Schulson collective, with a great atmosphere, excellent friendly service, and delicious food. I personally prefer Sampan just a smidge above Double Knot, but still very much enjoyed Double Knot.
