Ogawa Sushi & Kappo runs a single format: a 23-course omakase experience led by Chef Ogawa, built around ingredients sourced directly from Japan. The kitchen draws on kappo tradition — cooking that sits between the formality of kaiseki and the looseness of izakaya — and each seating unfolds as one continuous, chef-directed sequence. Sake pairing options are built into the experience, with the restaurant also hosting periodic sake tastings for guests who want to go deeper.
Regulars describe the counter as a special-occasion destination, citing the chef's expertise, personalized service, and the quality and freshness of the fish as reasons they return. Philadelphia Magazine named Ogawa among the city's best restaurants of 2025, and The Infatuation has covered it as part of its Philadelphia guide.
