About this business

Shiroi Hana Japanese Restaurant was established in 1984 in the heart of Center City and the esteemed Philadelphia theatre district. In English translation, shiroi defines white and hana defines flower. This term signifies the pure and delicateness of authentic Japanese cuisine. Unlike other Asian countries that enhances the flavor of their dishes with spices and rich sauces, the dishes of Japan are subtle yet profound which brings out the qualities of their natural state. The Japanese consider their dishes more than object o... read more

Try the Tofu Sukiyaki! – I've been here three times. The vegetarian tofu sukiyaki is my favorite- it's one of the the most delicious dishes I've had in Philadelphia. Big thick-style mung noodles, veggies, tofu in a truly delicious hot broth. I've brought friends here for dinner before the Kimmel center, and always see at least two friends when I'm there. Attentive, knowledgeable staff - not pretentious. Warm, beautiful lighting. Cozy. My sushi-eating friends have always noted how good the place is, and if you don't like sush... read more

Ignore the absurd dismissal that precedes this review – Please try to minimize whatever credibility you lent to the previous review. Anyone who will publicly admit that their friendships are contingent upon a restaurant-recommendation is a pitiful product of modern cultural pretentiousness. This restaurant is NOT bad. I lived in Japan for 2 years and I've eaten lots of Sushi. I am not , therefore, an expert, but Shiroi Hana is a good value. It's unpretentious, has good service, and is worth a try. Unless you want to go out t... read more

Good sushi at a reasonable price – What a deal! This place consistently has fantastic, fresh sushi at such a reasonable price. If you truly enjoy good sushi you should make this place a must visit. Their specialty rolls are unique and relatively well priced for Center City.

Best sushi – I've been to most of the sushi restaurants around the city, and this is still my favorite. I haven't found any other place that compares in terms of freshness, style, and combinations. They never disappoint. I haven't tried any of their regular entrees, but their appetizers are very good - I highly recommend the scallops appetizer.

Best Sushi – The food at Shiroi Hana was just great!!! Everything was so wonderful! The sushi is so fresh & fabulous. I just enjoyed every bite of it. The great atmosphere and extremely friendly service added to the outstanding experience. I'll definitely visit there again and highly recommend going there for an enjoyable evening.

Frozen fish, are you kidding? – I ate here recently on a recommendation, and man was this place terrible. Suffice to say, the person who made the recommendation is no longer a friend. Shiroi Hana is serving all frozen fish that is clearly older than it should be, and defrosted and refrozen too many times. The fish is rubbery, slightly bitter, and mostly tasteless. The sushi had so much rice I could barely fit it in my mouth... Really pathetic... i'm shocked this place is even in business... hasn't it made some sick at this p... read more

i'm not sure what standards everyone is using... – but this place is nothing special. the sushi is no better than your average storefront: fish is generally rubbery, not the melt-in-your-mouth-variety that should earn top ratings. i know that philly is starved for decently priced, high-quality sushi joints, but you're WAY better off at the new Miraku on Spruce and 13th or Moshi Moshi on 18th. the service here is efficient and friendly, i'll give it that.

Don't go here! Please! – Please don't go here. The sushi here is better than Morimoto, Hikaru, Genji, Nara, Fuji Mountain, Aoi, and others. Yes, I love sushi and I don't want the likes of you or your boyfriend or girlfriend or family here because you will take away valuable seating space from me and the people I want to bring here, so please go to your inferior sushi place and eat the stuff you think is so awesome. Forget that what you get here is heaven on rice and there's something, a seafood item, on the menu here that is... read more
