Double Knot

Double Knot is a Japanese izakaya, sushi restaurant and cocktail venue at 120 South 13th Street in Philadelphia. Its identity brings together several parts of Japanese dining culture in one restaurant setting, with izakaya-style food, sushi and cocktails forming the central focus. The format suits diners looking for a meal that combines Japanese cuisine with a drinks-led restaurant experience.

An izakaya is a Japanese-style dining venue associated with shared food and drinks, while sushi provides a more specific focus on Japanese preparations built around seasoned rice and accompanying ingredients. Double Knot’s positioning across both categories gives the restaurant a broad Japanese food identity rather than limiting it to a single type of meal. Cocktails add another element, making the venue relevant for diners who want food and drinks considered together.

The address places Double Knot on South 13th Street, giving it a defined urban restaurant setting. The venue’s website presents dedicated sections for the menu, reservations, events, hours and gift cards, reflecting a restaurant designed for more than a single informal drop-in occasion. Those options also make it suitable for planning a meal, checking the food and drinks offering in advance, or making arrangements around an event.

Double Knot can suit diners interested in Japanese food, sushi or cocktails, as well as visitors seeking an izakaya-style restaurant rather than a conventional dining room focused on one course or one type of drink. The combination of cuisine and bar service supports different kinds of visits, from a meal centered on Japanese dishes to an outing where cocktails are part of the plan. The venue’s identity remains centered on its Japanese izakaya and sushi character, with the cocktail program forming an important part of the overall restaurant concept.
