Oooh baby, Chikara Chikara It is Christmas night and as all straight men know…George Michael left this earth on Christmas Day . So I was feeling down, not because of George but because I didn’t get my Christmas wish…still married !! We did take out and when I arrived it was sitting on the counter…that’s service!! The guy at the counter was in a purple crushed velvet suit that was !! I had the General Tso’s Chicken(pic) which was good, not great but good! Egg rolls were good but not a huge fan of the “duck sauce”. It was watery and had a fruity taste! Wife had the Volcano Fried Rice which she enjoyed!! I tried some and it was very good!! My offspring also liked the egg roll!! Wife also had the California Roll which she enjoyed!! Prices were not bad for the portions provided and I would definitely go back unless I’m single next Christmas !!

Went with the whole fam for my nephew’s 21st bday, this is a perfect place, food was fresh and delicious, everything tasted good, none of them was disappointing. Everyone was happy and having a good time. Service was excellent, Carmina was amazing, very helpful, always smiling, our water never empty. Good price, good food, good service, totally recommended, and definitely will be coming back.

We stopped into Chikara on a whim, and it ended up being one of those unexpectedly great finds you want to tell everyone about—but also kind of keep to yourself.
Quietly tucked inside a plaza, this BYOB has a surprisingly high-end feel the moment you walk in. From the buttery-soft banquettes to the elegant gold koi fish illuminated on the wall, the space feels thoughtful, calm, and elevated. Add in the sushi bar and clearly expert sushi chefs, and you know you’re in good hands.
We ordered several varieties of sushi, including specials, and every single piece was fresh, balanced, and beautifully executed. A standout for us was the salmon skin salad – crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. It’s the kind of dish you think about after you leave.
For being open only since March 2025, Chikara feels confident and refined already. If you’re looking for quality Japanese-inspired cuisine, excellent sushi, and a serene atmosphere in Media, this spot is well worth seeking out. We’ll definitely be back.

New Asian/Sushi Restaurant in town. Chikara Sushi & Asian Bistro. This place is amazing. In small strip mall next to the Granite Run Shopping Center (same strip of stores as Enterprise). I included some pics of the inside and some dishes so you can see this place is very nice. You would never know it from outside. Don’t let the entrance deceive you, the food and atmosphere are great. Service was fast, very friendly, great food and more upscale than you would think. Great date spot. I don’t know what the 1 star was talking about, the Sushi was amazing, the food was amazing and the price was in line with what it should be. Take my advice (and all the 5 stars as well). We WILL be back.

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, and I was seriously impressed! I got the Mango Hawaiian Roll, Amazing Tuna Roll, American Dream Roll, and California Roll—everything was super fresh and packed with flavor. My top picks were the American Dream Roll and the Mango Hawaiian Roll. The sushi here is awesome! Plus, the restaurant has a great atmosphere, perfect for a date. Next time, I’ll definitely go with my friends. Highly recommend!

My friend and I went on opening night. The sushi quality was great (not sure what happened to the person who gave it 1 star because that was not our experience at all). The restaurant is gorgeous, the prices are about what I would expect for quality sushi. The staff was friendly and attentive. The only thing we did not care for was the green tea ice cream but overall we were extremely pleased and hoping they keep up the great product!

My family and I got the scallion pancakes and gyoza (dumplings) as an appetizer and I got the spider roll and the manhattan roll and it was out of this world! So fresh and delicious! I got my rolls with brown rice instead of white. I like how they give that option. My mom got the pineapple shrimp fried rice and the food was so fresh and it came with large pieces of shrimp instead of little pieces chopped up in the rice. The staff was so friendly and the owner Jay even came by to see how everything was. The price was reasonable too.We will definitely be back! It is also a byob.

The hot and sour soup is very good! I had the thai basil chicken and it is for sure a 4 out of 5. I’ve had 2 rolls from there now and the sushi is also.a 4 out of 5. I will continue to eat here as it is very fresh and the service is amazing!

We have the best time at Chikara Sushi & Asian Bistro! The sushi is out of this world – so fresh and tasty. The staff is amazing, super friendly, and always make us feel right at home. They even suggest rolls we wouldn’t try, because they know we are obsessed with the American Dream Roll! They really care about making our experience special. The Phoenixville location was our first date and we were so excited when we found out they were opening their second location in Media! Ps- it’s BYOB!
