A red and white sushi bar on 2nd Street since 2014.

Seiko Japanese Restaurant has served Northern Liberties from 604 N 2nd St, at Green Street, since 2014. Its sushi chefs make hand-crafted rolls, sushi towers and sashimi plates, and the narrow dining room seats guests at red and white tables beside a curved red counter and a stone wall, with a private room for up to 16. It is BYOB, serves lunch on weekdays and dinner Monday to Saturday, and takes reservations, catering and party tray orders. In 2017 diners voted it the Best Asian Lunch in Philly, Fooda reported, and it took part in Northern Liberties Restaurant Week in 2025 and 2026.
