Probably my favorite restaurant in Doylestown. They have a very eclectic menu, but I am partial to the sushi and salads. The service is very friendly, and you can eat outdoors in the nicer weather. read more

Waited at the bar for 15 minutes on Sunday evening and the bartender never acknowledged me. Went to the reception desk and got menus. Bartender still didn't notice me. Got up to leave and asked for the manager, she apologized and didn't seam concerned or surprised. Walked across the street to Paganini's and had a GREAT meal and service. They could not have been nicer to me. Pasta was to die for. read more

My friend & I visited today for sushi. We were seated outside which provided the perfect atmosphere for summer dinners. We ordered 2 signature rolls (Lobster Blast & Kaiyo Roll). The service was very slow. Our 2 sushi rolls took over 30 minutes to arrive to the table. It was super disappointing to wait such a long time for a small order. The sushi rolls tasted very delicious & fresh. I would not visit this restaurant if in a rush because the food takes way too long to be prepared. Overall, the taste of the food saved the service situation tonight! read more

Good food but their cocktail drinks are very unimpressive. Seems like they've had the same ones for 10 years. All the cocktails seem like girly drinks, other places have a fantastic cocktail menu compared to here read more

Pretty noisy outside and in the first dining room but better toward the back. house wine was great, fish and chips were just so-so but the fried calamari was excellent! read more

I've had better sushi at 7-11, bland, flavorless, not fresh at all, presentation was below poor along with quantity. The rolls were disappointing and wrapped without care. I will never order from here again. I will try McDonald's dollar menu sushi before I return here. read more

I came here for my birthday last night. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was incredible. This is one of the greatest restaurants in bucks county. I got fried pickles, crab and spinach dip, lobster roll and a blood orange margarita. I want to come back and try all the sushi!!!! read more

Had a wonderful lunch today. I had the apple and strawberry salad with a beautiful blueberry vinaigrette dressing. My friend had the zucchini lasagna and it was delicious. Waitress was excellent, service meal etc was perfect. read more

Terrible service, and over priced food. I work in the industry and am not one to complain, but this was terrible. A waste of money and time. We will not be returning ever again, would of rather gone to a diner. read more

Food was just "ok". The fact that our bill was over $400 for 6 people was outrageous. I wouldn't mind that type of bill and was what we expected choosing this place, but the quality of food was something you could get from a grocery store. We tried two signature sushi rolls. The Godzilla was the best one but in all honesty was nothing special. The two others were the same, if not worse quality then giant food stores sushi. Go to bamboo house or Ooka if you want sushi. Stay away from here. The appetizers were just blah. Looked very appealing on the menu but came up way short. Dumplings tasted like Costco frozen ones. Don't get me wrong Costco frozen dumplings are good, but you can get 100 of them for the price we paid for 6. Just nothing special for a fancy Doylestown restaurant. The calimari was chewy and just not good. Everyone else had a complaint about there meal in some sort of way except for my dad who got the burger. He said that was really good. Service was great, only reason I changed this from one star to two. Drinks were all very good as well. So bottom line is it's a burger place with good drinks. Don't come here expecting a nice dinner read more

This place is very cute with a great family, friendly atmosphere! My boyfriend, sister, brother in law, niece, and myself enjoyed a wonderful lunch outside! We were all very pleased with our meals and the fact that it was stroller friendly was definitely a plus! I would highly recommend sushi (I had the mango shrimp tempura roll) and the jalapeño margarita was quite refreshing! The only con would be that it's a bit pricey. read more

86 West - Mango tempura, yum! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

See all

I've liked this place in the past but tonight I was in with friends and even though they close at midnight my tab was closed at 11:40 while I was on the bathroom so I was unable to order one final drink. I found this incredibly rude of the staff to rush their customers out the door 20 minutes prior to their actual closing time. The male bartender, John, was friendly and recommended a lovely cocktail while the female bartender I found condescending and was the one rushing us out the door. I apologize that our patronage was an inconvenience to them leaving their shifts for the night. I would not return if this is the service near closing. read more

This is my go to place for Sushi when i'm visiting friends in Doylestown. The atmosphere is more like a bar than restaurant but who cares, food is awesome and service is on point. A lot of locals hang out here and the crew knows them by name, which is always a good sign. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. They serve all kindsa food from Asian to American to Mexican...its like the UN for food. Wings are great to start with. Their Godzilla roll, mmmmm yummmmm. What i like the most about their rolls and sushi is that, they are the right size that doesn't fill your mouth to a point where you cant even chew. Thats because it has the right amount of rice. Other places stuff a lotta rice with a tiny amount of fish. Its so unfair that i'm sitting in Los Angeles and craving 86 West's sushi. Too dad. I'm definitely going back everytime i'm in Philly. Highly recommended! read more

I went here for lunch last Saturday. I had the oyster shooters and crab dip for appetizers and OMG the oyster shooters were AMAZING!!! I will be back soon just for them. It was my first time experiencing oyster shooters so I don't have anything to compare to but still I was a huge fan. The crab dip was very fresh but wasn't that tasty, I probably wouldn't order it again. For an entrée I shared the chicken tacos with someone. They tasted great but were pricey (I think $15) since it literally just came with 2 chicken tacos. I got a cocktail and it was pretty good but not memorable since I am completely blanking on what it was. The service was good the whole time but nothing stellar. We are on the patio near the outdoor bar which was very quiet and relaxed. There were bees buzzing all over flower blooms and their buzzing was a lovely backdrop noise. This restaurant is in the adorable Doylestown downtown area and is a real draw for me as I love going over there because it is so quaint. Parking is easy, you can generally find free street parking close to the restaurants. Overall, I had a pretty good dining experience but nothing mind blowing. I will be back to try the sushi and for more oyster shooters. read more

Harrison is the best! We came here tonight to celebrate my grandmoms 90th birthday. Even though my family can be a pain he was such a good server and was patient and recommended the best food! Recommend to anyone!! Such a good experience read more

My dad is a regular at this restaurant and invited me out to dinner with him and my 2 year old daughter last night. This is a beautiful restaurant. Not only is this restaurant appropriate for all ages, it is very chic and clean. There is something on the menu for everyone so you won't be disappointed. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and it was a really good portion, enough for two meals. It was delicious and the flavor was just right. Also tried some of my dads zucchini fries and they were perfect. Not greasy at all and just really good. Every staff member was friendly and attentive. The owner was also a pleasure to speak with. We will definitely be returning hopefully sooner than later! read more

The food and service are always really good here. It's always been our go to place in Doylestown. The sushi is top notch, the cauliflower appetizer is to die for, and I love the jalapeño margarita! However, one critique is not having a changing table in the bathroom. I understand it is a trendy place, but we always go really early for dinner or we go for lunch! My little guys loves it here, but we had to change him on the bathroom floor tonight and, for that reason, we will not be going back. It may not be a family friendly place, but they do have high chairs! If you don't have children in diapers, I highly recommend it! read more

Strange layout (only went there once), the full bar is surrounded by tables for people to eat. And the bar is crowded, so conversations are done at an elevated speaking level. Then it segues into more seating, which at some point turns into a club. Live music came on around 9pm, and it was standard stuff coming from a guy with his keyboard. Menu selection was varied. Sushi selections were limited, and many of them included nontraditional items. Spicy tuna roll was not spicy at all. And the sushi was expensive. I've definitely had better in Philly, and I think Madam Butterfly's sushi is better. The people were the best part. Most of them were middle aged and single. This place definitely brings an air of hoitiness. Women were all wearing designer jeans, leather boots, and orangy-colored skin from all the years of tanning. Men dressed in fancy clothes and stood off to the sides, watching gaggles of women dance together. Not particularly the place I prefer, but definitely a place to go if your middle aged, got money, and are on the prowl. read more

Calamari app was decent. Little cool, and seemed like it was only warmed under their salamander for two minutes, or under heat lamp for five. Entrees were good. Bartender wearing a sweatshirt with silver writing on back; "I'm not nice." Really? Her cracking gum was annoying. Along with, her eating of Reese's candy was enjoyable. Don't know who the male bartender was at the back bar. He was great. Don't know either ones name. They didn't introduce themselves. They should be thankful that the food brings people back. Because, it's not the people. read more

My boyfriend and I eat here quite frequently, maybe once a month if we're lucky enough to go out. We love to come for the sushi and the Shine Riesling that you can't really get anywhere else. Be careful with that wine, it's easy to suck down!! I'm really no sushi expert but I do enjoy 86 West's signature rolls. We usually order 4 of them to split and they come out pretty quick. We've talked to the manager, Donna(?), on several occasions and she seems to be personable and in good spirits despite how packed it usually is when we visit. As far as the wait staff goes, I agree with the other reviews. Most of the time the staff is inattentive, but there some good ones in the bunch. Unfortunately the last time we were in was to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and nothing really went right. I can't seem to remember the waitresses name, only that she has mega curly hair and bright red lipstick. We were seated quick enough but the waitress took a while to even ask us if we would like something to drink. Of course my boyfriend and I knew exactly what to order even before we arrived so when the wine came out, we were so ready to have a sip. I noticed that the waitress brought the bottle out but no ice bucket, leaving the wine sit at room temperature. Weird. She walked away almost immediately after setting the bottle down which was disappointing because we were ready to order. She came back eventually and we placed the order, prompting her to go grab some plates and chopsticks. My boyfriend received a chopstick sleeve with no chopsticks, then he received a new pair only to find that there was just one in there! Yikes-Hope these aren't used!! The order seemed to take longer than normal but that's fine since we just talked and enjoyed our wine while we waited. In this time, another waiter noticed we still did not have an ice bucket for our wine without us even mentioning it to anyone. He seemed quite aggravated that we did not have one and apologized when he brought one to us. Just as he walked away, our waitress noticed that he had brought one out to our table and seemed annoyed as if we told on her. We didn't, swear! After we sat for a few minutes more, our food arrived and we couldn't wait to dig in. The waitress made the comment "Are you sure you have enough food?!" which seemed fairly rude to me but I might have just been upset about the service so far. My boyfriend and I definitely enjoyed our sushi to the very last piece. Throughout our enjoyment though, my empty water glass sat on the end of the table waiting to be refilled so I had to steal my boyfriends water. The waitress came over to ask how things were but failed to refill my glass and I was too busy gorging myself to remember to ask. Everything wrapped up and I got my water eventually after speaking up. We stayed for around 2 hours and by the end of the night we had a bottle of wine, 4 rolls, and the creme brûlée. We left satisfied with most things except the waitress so we will still continue to dine here since we love the time together and the sushi close to home! read more

86 West - The Sakura Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Ah, 86 West. You're everything I expected you to be. I went to 86 West with a friend for lunch. We ordered a bunch of sushi and some drinks. The sushi was pretty good, but I've had better. For some odd reason ordering sushi here just doesn't seem right to me.. I also got the brussel sprouts for an appetizer, and those were pretty good. We ordered Blue Moon, which was served flat. After telling the server the Blue Moon didnt taste right, she told us that people had complained of that the previous night....hm. She asked us what we wanted instead of the Blue Moon, and then told us we could keep them and wouldn't be charged. LOL. Thanks. I won't go back to 86 West. There are too many other places in Doylestown to take up my time returning here. read more

Great atmosphere and awesome service! I absolutely love the cuisine (sushi is delicious and their burgers are yummy as well)- I love that the menu has a variety of options to fit everyone's cravings. A great place for a family as well bc the outdoor area is very stroller friendly and the staff do not seem to mind rearranging to make the tables work for strollers. read more

86 West - Sushi Bars Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Going into this place, I never heard of it before, didn't know where it was, so ultimately had no expectations. I was told they had a vast menu ranging from burgers and fries to sushi. How? How does that work? Nonetheless, it was where my staff wanted to go, so we went. Made reservations and arrived on a Thursday night. I honestly didn't see too much of the place as our table was right next to the front door when we walked in. It sounds like horrible placement but it really wasn't. We had a screen separating us from the door, there was not a draft, so it turned out pretty good. I could see a bar off in the back and it looked like a fun atmosphere back there. Now I've only had sushi four times in my life, this being the fourth. My first two experiences were awful. The Brew Pub in Manayunk and then Ooka in Doylestown. Both times it just didn't go well, but dammit, I really wanted to like sushi! It looks so cool, it's fresh, why wouldn't it be good. Finally, I had a break through at Ota-Ya in Lambertville, NJ and had the best sushi yet. Then there was 86 West. Now I know I just exposed all my experience on sushi, so I don't have a lot to stand on, but this sushi was outstanding. The presentation was perfect, really, it was! Super fresh and tasty, spicy, sweet, large portions, I was overwhelmed. I had the Godzilla roll, which was Spicy Tuna, Spicy Crab, Tempura Shrimp, Mango, Avocado, Cucumber, Jalapeño, Wrapped in Soy Paper. I liked the heat and the sweet. I had previous experience with mango and sushi so I went with something familiar. I also got the Mango Shrimp Tempura, which was Spicy Crab & Cucumber Topped with Mango & Avocado. I thought these two rolls would compliment each other well and they did. They needed no wasabi or soy, just straight up in my mouth baby. It was awesome. Some of the people I was with got burgers and they looked awesome. The rolls looked like pillows of goodness, all shiny on top and soft inside. They were enjoyed by those consuming them. So yes, I would love to go back here. As mentioned in some of the other reviews, the service was a little dry. For a a party of six, I was expecting a little more pampering, but the visits were far and few in between. Could have been an off night, so we'll see next time. So for anyone who was wondering if burgers and sushi can coexist, visit 86 West and learn that they certainly can! read more

First the Positive: Ambiance! Cool layout, nice bar areas, wall-hung fireplace, sports on TVs over bars. Negatives: Service - Don't get me wrong, they are nice people, but they just don't know what they are doing. It feels like you are over at another couple's house for dinner and they have their teenage kids dressed up like waiters and they are walking around not knowing what to do. You have to wave furiously to get their attention away from the Xbox for a minute to get another drink or to place your order. Their parents think it's cute, but you wish you had stayed home. The sushi was ok, but not professional. What I mean is the rolls are "loose" and what I like to call "trash can" rolls where the chef throws everything in them and on them to create flavor, but the chunks of ingredients are too big and don't meld together so it just doesn't look or taste professional. It's kind of like being at that same couple's house for dinner and the husband read a book on "how to make sushi," so he wants to try out some new recipes on you as he learns how to roll them properly. The place was easy to get a seat. They had many empty tables, but they all had tacky "Reserved" signs on each one. Reserved for who?? My suggestion: Go there for drinks, ambiance, and maybe an appetizer with your date, but save the big sushi dinner for another place in town. read more

86 West has the best bartenders especially Mara! She is super friendly and always gets us drinks quick. We love this spot but Mara makes it even better! read more

The women at the front told us to come in and that they were serving. After calling all my friends, they suddenly found out they were closings.... an midnight on Christmas Eve Eve. Really?!? They aren't a restaurant because their food is horrible. And apparently they are a bar because they close at mid-night. I'll go back to Las Vegas with normals bar hours. read more

86 West - Sushi Bars Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

I came here with my best friend during lunch time. I specifically came here for some sushi. And just as background, I'm from NY and practically grew up on seafood, especially sushi and sashimi. I wasn't surprised by the prices, so I just ordered what I felt like. We ended up getting the Yellowfin Tuna Tartare, the 86 West Roll, and the Spanish roll. So before I get into the food, I'll just summarize my experience at the restaurant. The waitress we had was sort of strange and slightly rude when I asked a question about the drink menu. Other than that, the atmosphere was very nice to enjoy food outside on a beautiful day. Now the food.. I wouldn't say I'm someone who can critically evaluate food in a critic's sense, but I know a lot about Japanese cuisine. Just as a tip to people who are worried about freshness about the food, you can tell wasabi is fresh when it's spicy. The less spicy it is, the less fresh it is. And for my meal experience, the only thing that was "hot" was the siracha they used for both speciality rolls. And hot sauce is something that I've never seen done with sushi. I'm still deciding if I liked it or not. The portion size was typical for a specialty roll, but the size of the actual piece was pretty small compared to the standard size. I felt like they just opened boxed sushi from a random store to put on my plate for a size comparison. The flavors were pretty good and I felt satisfied, which is the only reason I felt this place deserved 3 stars, but the prices are not justified. Then we got 2 spicy tuna rolls and they were small in size but good. But what I thought was strange that they used the siracha hot sauce instead of spicy mayo. That I did not like. But overall the taste of the food was good, but the prices are not worth just the flavor of food. For Doylestown, I can understand the popularity, but I can get quality sushi and sashimi in Queens,NY for cheaper and the ingredients are guaranteed fresh. I would try coming back here for dinner just to see what the lounge aspect is like, but from what other Yelpers have recommended, it isn't worth it either. read more

Not a burger place, but the I had the best burger I've ever had here. Strongly recommend the wagu beef burger

I love both bar areas of 86 West, but will usually prefer to sit inside since there is no smoking. Kat the bartender is very attentive and made great suggestions. Her signature drinks are awesome! Ask for a pb&j shot! The sushi is made right in front of you, and they truly are artists. I usually just get a spicy tuna roll, but there are many creative rolls and tea sandwiches to choose from. My date had a burger, which was grass fed beef with bacon and he really enjoyed it. We'll be back! read more

Notoriously unfriendly rude staff!! Went on Memorial Day and they were not crowded but the hostess was rude and tossed the menus on the table and walked away. Same with bartenders. Not an enjoyable place to be. Big fail on the hospitality here read more

I met up with family at 86 west tonight for dinner & some drinks. Everyone was very nice & pleasant. I saw some negative reviews against the staff & manager, but I experienced the complete opposite. The manager greeted us when we walked up & was very welcoming & even stopped by our table when she noticed our drinks were empty! The waitress had already taken care of replacing our drinks, but it was still very considerate. The food was delicious, we started with calamari & the buffalo flat bread, both were really good, but the flat bread was phenomenal! I'd definitely recommend it. For dinner we had different sushi rolls, my favorite was the spicy lovers roll, it was really good & wasn't too spicy at first, but ended up having a slow burn, so delicious. We were too stuffed for desert, but we'll be back for sure! read more

We ate at 86 West, our waitress was Pat, and she was wonderful! We ordered the Godzilla Rolls and they were awesome! For dessert we split the amazing funnel cake with vanilla ice cream and strawberries on it. It was wonderful. We had a great dining experience. Check out their Marilyn Monroe drink made by Cat the bar tender- super sweet and yummy! read more

Solid for a quick bite. Cocktails were so-so and uninspired. There are better places for signature rolled sushi. The filet sliders could have definitely been more flavorful. The meat to bread ratio on the pulled pork sandwich was off. The food was pricey for the value. Staff was friendly and attentive. Good decor and use of restaurant space. read more

Delicious food and great bartenders! The burgers were delicious, especially the buns! I didn't have the sushi but my friends said it was great! The bartender was also very helpful and talkative! There was also live music playing a great variety of music. I definitely be coming back here again! read more

Did some bar-hopping on a Saturday night and was not impressed by the bartenders (outside bar) with attitude who ignored me for a good 10 minutes while helping no one else. Yeah, thanks for the $7 beer. Better service next door. read more

I am new to the area and was Googling for the best burger around. This place showed up on one of the lists. Despite the fact that most of the rest of the food is Asian best, we decided to go for it. We ordered over the phone and picked up the food so I can't speak to the service aspect. I was expecting a lot more from the meat (grass fed too.) I had the bleu cheese burger. It was kind of tough and had many pieces of gristle. It felt like a frozen patty that maybe hadn't been cooked properly. I don't know. Was disappointed because I was really in a burger mood that only strikes every so often. My husband got the bbq pork flatbread which was good but nothing to write home about. The brussels sprouts were actually awesome. The flavor was great. There was a LOT of sauce on them, but picking them out of the box they were nice and warm and delicious. Maybe one day I'll go back but for the Asian style stuff. Until then a lot more places to try around town first! read more

What a wonderful experience. We sat at the bar and our server/bartender was alyssa and she was amazing. Made us laugh the entire time and made great suggestions that will definitely warrant me for another visit as a fiRst time guest. Happy hour specials are amazing read more

Is it weird to drive or walk by a place so many times and never venture in? We decided to give it a shot because I was craving oysters. We didn't have a reservation so when we spoke to the hostess, I was happy to hear we could be seated immediately although it was packed. Outdoor was fine because the weather was amazing for late September. So I ordered the oysters with a side of seaweed salad (which go together great by the way) and the oysters were good, but two of the six had shells fragments. Not a crime and a hazard of the dish, but for $20 (due to the seaweed salad addition), like anything in life, you expect crunch free oysters. My wife ordered the crab cake and I had the sea bass. Both beautiful to look at, but surprisingly underseasoned. The mashed potatoes needed a little something. The spinach and bok choy needed a little something. The crab cake had aioli (albeit too little) so that helped. My sea bass came beautifully cooked, but no sauce and no salt made an aesthetically pleasing dish taste beige. I also wondered if we didn't order well? I should have gone with the brussel sprouts! So. . .service from hostess to waitress was great. Food was very pretty. Atmosphere was quite nice. But Mother Nature helped. If someone salted my food, probably worth a star. If the shell fragments, more aioli for the crab cake, and a sauce for the sea bass could be addressed, probably another star. read more

Love it here. Food and drinks are amazing. Brussels stouts are delish and Sushi tea cakes are my favorite. Sometimes hard to find parking downtown. read more

Went for lunch today and have been to this hipster wanna be in NYC place. The food is pricey and good but the drinks are better. This is a great DOYLESTOWN I wanna have a good time with other yuppies in a crowded venue type place. If you want a romantic quiet meal go elsewhere. If you want a fun night out or a nice casual lunch spot with good tapas and sandwich options give it a try. Food: flatbreads are great. Salads are good. Calamari is spot on and soft shell crab sandwich hit the spot. Braised short ribs will fall apart and are slow cooked and deep flavor. Sushi is good for DOYLESTOWN but the two other sushi joints are better but not as trendy. Good luck getting a seat. read more
