Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s stellar Japanese-meets-Western cuisine is a highlight across the Philly dining scene. If you’re here, prepare to spend a few bucks and go all in—the chef’s combination starts at $50 for a meddling of the best sushi, rolls, and sashimi this place has to offer. You can also pick and choose veggie options including shiitake mushroom or spicy veggie tempura rolls, as well as grade-A takes on classics like spicy salmon and soft shell crab.
Morimoto’s appearance on this list should come as no surprise—it is one of Philly’s best Japanese restaurants, after all. As with many dishes here created by Masaharu Morimoto, the ramen and udon blend traditional Japanese and Western techniques. In this case, the end result is the Iron Chef’s take on chicken noodle soup.
