The 50 best spots for quick bites in Philadelphia

This a very unique place! It’s a must see and the perfect spot for lunch. There’s many different food options here, all of a wide variety! From raw oysters to soul food to sushi to Indian. There are a few dessert places as well. The meat market and fish market have lots of things to choose from if you plan on grabbing and preparing at home! We visited on a Saturday and it was overwhelmingly packed with people, however it is open 7 days a week, so I suggest visiting on a weekday.

Incredible space with multiple vendors, shops, and restaurants! Can’t recommend this market enough - we’ve literally told everyone about it. We are so glad we stopped in at the recommendation of our Lyft driver and we were so impressed. Coffee, Chocolate Pastries, multicultural cuisine options, and at least one or two bar / restaurants spaces. Not only was it an amazing adventure just walking the aisles, but everything was clean and the service at all the stalls was incredible. People were polite and it was easy to navigate the space! Highly recommend stopping Reading Terminal if you’re in the area!

Great place for foodies. It's right I'm the Down town area close to china town, fashion Street, convention center. One you are in you can explore local endless local gourmet. There are home decor and lifestyle goods as well but it's literally nothing compared to food and beverage. Groceries is also available to buy in the marketplace. Recommend to visit during lunch or when you are hungry. Bus access is most convenient. Street parking is not free and they have in building parking as well. Very crowded with tourists so if you are in a rush, it's better choose another day.

We went on a Sunday at noon. I have to say it was busy but was still easy to get around with a toddler. We went to The Original Turkey and it was so delicious reminds me of Thanksgiving but so much better because the turkey was juicy and tender. The stuffing had so much flavor and the gravy was savory. The stuffing club was to die for. Next was dessert and we decided on Wilts!!!! Chocolate strawberries was so sweet and delicious. Strawberries by themselves were fragrant. Then Muller Chocolate Co. We got a variety of truffles and chocolate covered pretzels. As a tourist I definitely recommend these places but I do say go and look around and try things that you might fancy! There is plenty

Oh my. What an incredible place to get a true taste of Philly. From cheesesteaks and pretzels to baked goods and fresh meats and veggies - there’s something around every corner! Enjoyed a fresh pressed juice, bagels and donuts while we strolled. Bought some local libations home with us. Can’t wait to go try some more spots throughout the market

A must visit! TONS of vendors and delicious food throughout the building. Anything you could want, it’s going to be in here. I loved the neon signs and how much there was throughout. Great deals galore, and everyone was friendly and helpful if you had a question. I wish I had something like this closer to home; I would visit Philly again just to come Back here!

An absolute paradise for food lovers with wide variety of offerings to cater to everyone's taste. From the Philly Cheesesteaka to began options and everything in betweenm between. The crowd is vibrant and rhe nostalgia is beyond this world. The baked goods selection is absolutely heavenly. There is always something to explore or experieeces throughout the expansive store locations.

ONE OF THE TOP MEALS IN 2025!!! Truly, such an exceptional experience. The food is amazing and fresh. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. Moreover, the restaurant is extremely rustic and clean inside. Such a wonderful dinner experience! The shrimp and oysters were amazing. Cannot recommend Parc enough.

We wanted to try lunch. We ordered cheese omlette and mozarella sandwich. As dessert of course crème brule. The bread basket was really yummy. Very crowded we waited some time to get seated. We didn’t get super big meals but ending paying over $50 excluding tip. So pricey. Another things you should know before you go. The parking is really difficult. Maybe better to take uber or bus.

Amazing restaurant. All the food was incredible. I had always wanted to try a croque monsieur, and it did not disappoint. Bread and appetizers were high quality and delicious. The cranberry nut bread was my favorite. Very moist and flavorful. My wife is a connoisseur of fine French Onion soup, and she exclaimed that this was the best she'd ever had. The quiche Lorraine was delightful, fluffy and crusty, very light. Portion size is perfect - you won't leave hungry but you won't need a cart to haul leftovers. Its just right. Desserts are to die for. This is the best creme brulee I've ever had, and the chocolate mousse is the perfect flavor, sweetness and a magical consistency you cant make at home. Service was perfect at well. Our server Samantha is delightful, quick with a knowledgeable recommendation and great conversation. The manager Sawyer visited our table and was clearly invested in the quality of food and performance of his staff. 10/10 highest recommendation. Will be back soon!

The service and food were amazing. Our server Jose was friendly and good care of our party of 5. The bread was outstanding. The cocktails were perfectly prepared but pricey. This is a large restaurant and it is extremely loud when it gets busy.

Amazing place we come here every time we are in downtown. From the service which is top notch to the atmosphere and the food is always delicious never had one bad bit or drink. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our food and drinks very much! Solid restaurant that is always busy in Philadelphia. Make sure to make reservations. I have been here for brunch, lunch, dinner, and just late night snacks. Service has always been good. Their bread basket is amazing. You can buy bread to-go at the counter by the (small) bar. Our friends from out of town are always pleased here as well. My favorite is brunch here. But I am glad to take any meal at Parc!!!

I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious and well-presented, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly throughout the meal. Pricing was very reasonable given the quality of the food and service. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to returning soon.

Family run business since 1947. Friendly family greeted us at the counter and let us know which family member made each item. It’s a little crowded for seating, but that’s to be expected in a small older space.

10/4/25 first time here. Found this place while wandering around with my morning coffee... So i looked it up and saw the reviews. I walked back later & picked up an Italian cheese steak for lunch (to go). It was really good! I will certainly return here the next time I'm in Philly. Friendly, family run place, i love that. They even had torrone for sale! (Must buy some next time) Small seating area but that's ok!

Wow! The cheesesteaks are amazing. We had the works, a cheesesteak with grilled onions and whiz, and the hoagie with lettuce and tomato. The coleslaw was delicious. Sweet and crunchy. Highly recommended 👍

Absolutely amazing! The service was excellent and the cheese steaks are great. All made by the coolest guys in Philly! The owners are great and we had a great time talking to them. It was a full house for dinner but we got a table for 4. The stockyard was the best. We also got the works, mac-n-cheese, and homemade cookies. We came from Texas to visit the historic area and heard about Campos. We had to try it and so greatfull that we did. Definitely putting this place on our list when we come back.

My first Philly Cheasecake did not disappoint. Got the works and the sandwich was huge. Very Filling. Nice guy behind the counter. Cute place. Thank you!

We just tried this place at the recommendation of our tour guide and it was awesome! Excellent cheese steaks! The lady who served us is part of the family that owns it and she was so nice. She told us that her mom makes the potato salad so we tried it. It was unique but in a VERY GOOD way. If you're in town, try them out

I came to visit town and I was craving a good cheeestake for a quick dinner. Not the best I've ever had but what makes it worth it is their fast paced service and welcoming presence. The lady at the front was very kind and helped me. I would highly recommend for good service and quick food. Love me a greasy Cheesestake.

This is a good restraunt for someone else. It is exactly what it says it is. Vegitetian fast food. They have a tone of cheap vegiterian options ranging ranging from shakes to chicken nuggets. We got the chicken wrap and chicken nuggets with a shake. They were all cheap but also not a lot of food. The food itself was decent but also nothing memorable. It eas passable as it's imitations but since it's imitating fast food meat, the bar isn't very high. All of that to say, if you want a quick vegiterian snack it's not bad (but you could also do better).

I was starving and wanted to try something new, so I went to HipCityVeg. The place is nice and the girl working there was really sweet! She suggested the Crispy HipCity Ranch, so I went for it. When I got my food, I saw it said “100% plant-based” and that’s when I realized it’s a vegan restaurant 😂 Honestly, I laughed because it looked too good to be vegan. The food was delicious though — didn’t even feel like fake chicken! 🌱

Hip City Veg is a staple of the vegan community here in Philadelphia & there is no disputing that, years ago it was basically unheard of to find vegan fast food & they were the reigning champs of the plant based comfort food game. However, the last 2-3 times I’ve eaten there, the food seems like it’s been knocked down several pegs in quality, has become significantly pricier & a significantly less pleasing environment to dine in. With competitors like PLNT popping up & contrasting what you get from HCV to a place like Jarrell’s Better Burger in Manhattan, it’s evident you’re being underserved. I love the concept of HCV & want them to succeed, I honestly feel like they need a team huddle & a menu update to catch up with the plant based food game of 2024.

On a recommendation we came here and were not disappointed. Great chat with staff and a customer sitting next to us. I really should have taken a photo of the Philly Cheesesteak before I demolished it.

The food was good! I was expecting it to be a little better based off photos but it was tasty. The spicy chicken sandwich is SPICY be warned. I can tolerate spice but I was fighting for my life with that heat. Everything else was tasty and the staff was so friendly and helpful.

Third time in Philly, third time here for their Philly cheesesteak. Can’t miss it!

Incredible burgers, loved both the beef and chick’n ones. Also really lovely service! Such a solid option in Philly!

I only got their donuts (cookies and cream) but I loved them. They hit my sweet tooth perfectly! I was surprised when I realized that they didn't do a combination of tenders and donuts, but I guess I have to get them next time. Yet, I do wish the donuts were a little bigger.

Man oh man it seems like this location went down hill over the last two years. Got my first order of tenders for myself and the family and they sure did get a lot smaller! No giant hands here either. Price didn’t go down. $14 for 3 of these? Do better federal donuts!

At Citizens Bank Park tonight, I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich(fried chicken breast with buttermilk ranch dressing and pickles on a bun, $13.50). When I took it to my seat and bit into it, parts of it were very chewy and some parts I couldn't chew or bite through at all because the chicken was not thoroughly cooked through. I spit the inedible pieces into the sandwich wrapper and threw half of the sandwich. Except for the ranch dressing, the chicken was tasteless and undercooked. This is my first visit to CBP this season, and in the last 3 seasons I'd usually go to 4-6 games per season, and I always get the same fried chicken sandwich which has always been tender, juicy, and flavorful. So, imagine how thoroughly disappointed I was this time, and there will absolutely NOT be a next time. I will not be visiting Federal Donuts again and I won't be recommending it to anyone. If I could give this experience a lower rating than 1, I would do so.

It probably goes without saying that this is not the best Federal Donuts location. It doesn't have a full menu and their chicken sits under a heat lamp during ballgames. However, they get MAJOR points for having a WORKING FRIED DONUT MACHINE at the ballpark! You can actually get hot made to order donuts during. Phillies game! We just got their chicken sandwiches, which were good but small, and some Za'atar Fries. Both were good but I would probably rather avoid paying the high prices and just get some standard ballpark food. If you are ONLY in Philly to see a baseball game. Definitely stop here. I know that you have heard a lot about our cheesteakrs but, believe me, these donuts are not be missed.

Chicken was pink, chewy and not cooked through. I thoroughly support federal doughnuts and understand the stadium is busy but I did not appreciate being up all night with food poisoning.

Very good donuts. However They are better off site not in the stadium in their other locations

Terribly rude service for overpriced food

Ice cream - 5/5 Service - 4/5 Atmosphere- 4/5 I really loved the ice cream BUT like much or the reviews said the experience was a bit over-hyped. There is no indoor seating and it is difficult to actually interact and watch the bow-tied server concoct your concoctions. I would recommend going if you are in the area but it probably isn’t worth going out of your way just for the ice cream. There are plenty of other high-end artisanal ice cream shops in Philly. It’s cute and kitsch and the serving are huge but it isn’t a must visit while in town.

This was my first time there . I loved the retro decor and flair. They have a great ice cream selection you can also get soda water or floats. My selection was a scoop from f coconut on a sugar waffle cone. It was delicious!!!! I would definitely recommend this place.

Been to Franklin Fountain a couple times. Its classic. But quite expensive. Definitely a special occasion type of place. Large variety of flavors. Very small shop but its beautiful inside. My go to is the matcha green tea and strawberry. Someone else in my party got root beer float and ice cream sundae. Were all great.

The ice cream was ok, thought it would be something amazing being they have such a long history there. Not much space in this corner lot. There are only a few customers that are allowed inside at one time and ifs the summer you have the close the door behind you to keep the AC from escaping. Your ice cream is served in a take out box. There is no seating inside, only outside seating.

The price is insane! I paid about $17 for a two scoop plus a waffle cone. The waffle cone alone was $5! I will say, The waffle cone was the best part of this trip. These cones are thick and tasty. The ice cream was ok. The ice cream was too soft and was melting faster than one could lick. The pumpkin flavor had a great pumpkin spice taste but the aftertaste wasn’t pleasant. The chocolate fudge brownie was rich in chocolate and brownie. The portions are large so prepare yourself if you get two scoops.

If you look at the reviews for this place and the photos online you’re thinking you’re about to have the best experience and ice cream sunday or banana split of your life. Not the case. Rather your wooed by the ambience and old-fashioned atmosphere, the signs for the homemade whipped cream, house made sodas etc….and then you get your order. My “banana split for my baby” didn’t have one singular slice of banana in it, not one spanish peanut, was drowning in store-bought whipped cream and had two cherries on it (which were not listed as a part of it on the menu). My husband’s hot fudge Sunday was below average and overall we spent $32 😱 on two items. Wish the product lived up to the overall cool vibe of the place. I loved the phone (that still works) and all the old school knickknacks. Maybe next time we’ll stick with a waffle cone and flavored ice cream.

Such a lovely ice cream shop with even better service. The Franklin fountain has such an antique feel to it but the ice cream options are fresh and creative. Tiana was extremely helpful and made our experience memorable by allowing us to sample flavors until we found the right one. She was kind, attentive and efficient which is a rarity these days. This will be my go-to dessert spot from on now, whenever i’m in Philly!

We had a nice time at McGillins. The staff was friendly and didn’t have any issues. We popped in on a Sunday afternoon for drinks. My wife got a cocktail she really enjoyed. I did the beer sampler. The value was great I think $11 or so for the sampler with you get to choose a few of those. I’m not a huge beer guy in general and didn’t love any of the beers but enjoyed the experience. Think they could’ve been a little colder. We did get a koozie for our collection and the vibes were great inside. Definitely worth checking out.

Great relaxed environment. Feels like a local neighborhood bar on the middle of the city. Best happy hour and great value as an event space for retirement or birthday parties etc. Service is great. Staff is friendly and fun. Drinks well made with tasty food. The price is also right! Very good compared to the other city bars & restaurants.

It feels like this place is kind of tucked away in the city and it's satisfying when you first see it. Solid stop and won't break the bank. Get the "original sandwitch special, "which consists of your choice of turkey, roast beef, or corned beef on rye bread with coleslaw and Russian dressing. Recommended.

Totally my kind of place! Cozy and dimly lit atmosphere, great food, a solid selection of beers, and friendly service. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a laid-back spot to enjoy a good meal and drinks🍻

Greeted like friends as soon as we walked in. Cold beer, great charm, and really cool that it’s the oldest pub in the city. Such a good vibe.

After a day of touring my family around the the city, our last stop was McGillin’s. Rich with history and full of lively customers, it was a great way to end the day. My cousin and I had $5 mimosa specials - sounded light and easy after our long day. But her husband had a beer flight which looked incredible and my boyfriend had a pint or two. Great prices and a great place to take a load off for a bit. We maybe spent $35 for the four of us.

great experience. went for a late lunch on a monday and place was very busy. bartender was amazing. great selection of beer. fish and chips was excellent.

Cash only! Dinner was great. I would have liked the Shanghai rice to be fried a little harder. But that would be my preference. It was good. The crab rangoon was large and full. The pork buns are soft and fluffy. It was a great experience because of Mindy's attention to us.

TLDR: Avoid, I would not recommend to my enemy unless I really hated them. 🤢 Potential health violation? Dirty dishes replaced with “fresh” dirty dishes. (the new place setting had dried pieces of leftover food from the previous use) 💀 Sticky! Everything was sticky, grime sticky, not dumpling sauce sticky. The bottom of dish plates, the individual plates, the bowl, the spoon 💰Cash-only restaurant that charges tax (pick one, you know?) ————————— We had tried this restaurant as a late night option at 9pm. Our one server was a gem—which is why I gave a 2 star instead of a 1 star. Other than that, the sheer cleanliness (or lack thereof) ruined the whole food experience—I was too grossed using the sticky utensils and plates let alone think about how “clean” the kitchen where the food is made is. 😷 decent food: - shanghai soup dumplings (heavy hand with the sauce) 3/5 - crispy garlic lettuce — crunchy! 4/5 - salt and pepper wings — salty! good fry 3.5/5 Other food (1/5) - shrimp dumplings had thick wrapper that was too chewy and felt frozen - fish sour soup lacked flavor and spice - garlic bean sprouts looked old and wilted, there was a layer of white film on top and the sauce was a little too thick and corn-starchy

This place has always been a favorite of mine, but the renovated location two doors down is down adds an amazing atmosphere and upscale ambience to the always fantastic food. On top of that, Ryan provides a level of service that is unmatched. I moved away years ago, and every time I come back to town I bring whoever I’m with to get pork soup dumplings. A favorite experience of mine, and I never leave hungry. Every time I leave, I can’t wait to come back. Love this place, don’t miss out!

We got a table right away on Sunday afternoon before it got too busy. The service was very fast. We order a pork soup dumpling and it was delicious. Then we had a salty duck and white rice. Duck comes with small pieces of bone in it. So be careful. Dried nodules with beef was very good also. Only cash. Place was packed. I’d go back next time.

This place was so delicious! We had the cucumbers, chicken soup dumplings, pork & chive dumplings, beef ho fun, pork buns and sesame chicken. My top picks were the beef ho fun and both dumplings. Service was fast and friendly but be aware this place is cash only!

We ordered fried rice, pan-fried beef dumplings, jumbo shrimp on a stick, and a couple of non-alcoholic drinks with my daughter — everything was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We really enjoyed our experience and definitely recommend this restaurant!

We visited from out of town and it was great. service was quick and the name of our specific server was Eling. She was very attentive. She checked up on us and routinely checked up on us to make sure our food was good. She gave us good suggestions. Definitely will be coming back and obviously I crushed the food, and the drinks are fire

The pizza steak sub was amazing, and their marinara/red gravy (whichever you call it.) was great. The Philly was average at best. It didn't live up to the hype that surrounds it. The portion sizes are worth what you pay, two can eat on one sub if you're on a budget. The staff though could have better customer service skills.

Me and few friends were on a road trip and drove from Atlantic city to try a proper Philly Cheese Steak. Well worth the journey. Food was great and the staff were friendly. Nice spot on a street corner

Cheesesteak with sharp provolone. The bread was fabulous. The cheesesteak was seriously good, especially with bite from the cheese. Was able to grab a table out back in the sun. Order at the window. Get your order number. Wait patiently. Enjoy. Would recommend and am coming back.

John’s Roast Pork came highly recommended as one of the best Philly cheesesteaks! I got a cheesesteak with cooper sharp and fried onions. First thing I noticed was the bread, meat and cheese ratio was off. Roll needed to be scooped out, you can see from the photo how bread is majority of the sandwich. The meat was high quality and no fatty pieces, but the cheese was sparse and not evenly distrustful throughout. Each bite was different and not in a good way. It was mediocre overall. I wouldn’t come back here, I much prefer Del Rossi’s and Angelo’s.

First time here yesterday after seeing John's on Worth It and other YouTube channels. Ordered a cheesesteak with the peppers, but it did not have any peppers. Also ordered the roast pork sandwich with spinach, but it did not have the spinach. Both sandwiches tasted really good though. Customer service was good. There is minimal shaded seating. There is parking on the sides of the roads and across the street. They don't do whiz here, so heads up for those that want whiz. If I'm ever in Philly again I'd be down to come here for cheesesteaks, and I think others would really enjoy the food here as well.

I'd give 10 stars if I could. We got off the plane visiting from South Carolina and immediately came here. I chose this spot over lists of best cheesesteak in the area and it was about a 30 minute drive from the airport. Pulling up the line was super long so we knew we were in the right spot. Ended up in front of 2 guys who work for Barstool sports and told us how to order our roast pork sandwich. We got it Italiano style and a cheesesteak with mushrooms and onions and a order of fries. Best cheesesteak I've ever had. Down here in SC people go for Harrys who are from Philly and Inkys..who are frauds but this sandwich from John's Roast Pork has set the bar extremely high. Definitely gets my vote for the best and with being a James Beard Award winner...that says something. The fries were perfectly seasoned.

One of the best cheese steak joints anywhere. We always stop here when we get near Philly. We always get our own and as soon as we sit down we say we could have shared one and take half home. I could probably finish one myself but I would be hurting for a while.

Not sure what the hype is about. The broth was perfectly good but noodles and everything else is just standard. Their karaage chicken is absolutely horrible and I can’t for my life recommend ordering that

My husband and I are huge fans of ramen. We always try to have one when we come to a new city. We had Shoyu Ramen, which is usually our favorite broth flavour. This time it was good but not very rich in flavor. The roast pork was very tender and juicy. The service was really quick. The place looks cozy and welcoming. We'll definitely come back another time to try more of their ramen and appetizers.

Had a delicious dinner here - ordered the pork buns and chicken buns, edamame, seaweed salad, tan tan Ramen, and pork cutlet curry. ramen broth was very rich and noodles were cooked perfectly. the curry was perfect, rich in flavor

Thank you fellow reviewers in helping us find a good ramen shop in Philly! ATMOSPHERE: Contemporary Asian decor. Clean and newer looking shop. Counter & table seating. FOOD: Gyoza 5 pieces of pork & veggie dumplings fried to perfection, with a delicious dipping sauce. Mini Tokyo Fried Chicken Curry Small bowl of rice topped with the crispy chicken & curry gravy. Delish! I wasn't a curry fan but my taste buds are a-changin'! Mayu Ramen When I ordered this, both the chef & server acted surprised and asked me if I've ever had ramen before, and told me what the broth was made of and that its the same broth that's in the Terakawa signature ramen but a step above it. Come on now, what Asian do you know who hasn't eaten ramen? I know they meant well. I just said yes and that I was sure that's what I wanted. Ok, the broth is made from a pork bone base so the color is a milky brown but they also add in mayu which they tout as a dark roasted leek & crushed garlic oil mixture, which adds a layer of black oil seasoning that floats at the top. The broth is mild in flavor and is very rich and filling. Some reviewers mistake it as bland but I don't think it's meant to be an overpowering flavor. The toppings of char siu, red ginger, mushrooms, scallions, and egg all compliment the broth nicely. I've never had anything like this so I'm glad I tried it. It's definitely not for the average ramen eater - you've got to be a fan. Tan Tan Ramen My spouse added a hard boiled egg to his dish. I tasted the broth only. It's a bit sweet for a tan tan base and not spicy. Our favorite version resides at at Goma Tei in Honolulu which is spicier and more savory. SERVICE: Walked in at 3pm on a Monday afternoon and got seated immediately as the place was empty. Our female server was very friendly but disappeared after our order was taken. Someone else brought over our food. She didn't check on us or refill our waters. The chef was very engaging and cared about what his customers were eating as he consulted with us while ordering. OVERALL: Nice & clean ramen shop in Philly's Chinatown with great food and average prices. Definitely a come back spot!

After years of hearing rave reviews about Terakawa Ramen, I finally came in! I understand the hype now. I want to start this off by saying, I am not a huge ramen eater. I don’t have much to compare this experience to, but the broth was savory and the noodles weren’t overcooked. Chicken tasted good. The star of the show for me, which was unexpected, was the side of chicken curry. Some of the crispiest chicken I’ve had and the curry was flavored well. Only $5. I will absolutely come back for more of that! FYI - there are no reservations, but the wait even on a Friday night wasn’t bad. You put your name/number on a tablet and they text you when your table is ready. Plenty of nearby shops to shop in while waiting.

Yeah. Went to this place on a Saturday night and was greeted with a line nearly out the door. Started to put my info in at the ipad up front when a server saw me and asked “are you just one?” When I told her yes, she told me to follow her and sat me at a seat along the kitchen. Scanned the QR code for the menu and was nearly instantly asked what I wanted, then very politely told no problem we’ll be back when I said I needed a bit more time. Went with the onigiri, the terakawa signature, a side order of curry, and a calpico (unfortunately no alcohol). This shit was delicious. Asked for the ramen to be a little saltier. Didn’t add anything to it. The egg was perfect, the pork was way softer and tastier than it had any business being, and the curry on the side was a really homey feel to it, like the curry blocks I’d make at home. 10/10 on all fronts (minus no alcohol but I get it), will definitely be back.

If I am ever back in Philadelphia's Chinatown, I am immediately going back to Terakawa Ramen. I had been to Philadelphia a few times before, and all those other times, it's a shame I never came here before my last trip. I was looking for a classic ramen restaurant in Chinatown that I couldn't get in Arkansas, and the reviews of Terakawa Ramen gave me comfort that this was the place. Immediately as I walked up to the storefront, I knew I made the right choice when I saw the lantern dangling off the balcony of the store. As I walked in, I immediately felt like I was back in Japan. I of course ordered the Terakawa Ramen and the Japanese Sausage as an appetizer. I hadn't had Japanese Sausage in so long, I almost cried when I took my first bite. It was exactly as I had remembered it since I was a kid. When the Terakawa Ramen arrive, I think I DID cry. The pork belly had the right amount of thickness for the fat of the pork belly to shine through, and the broth was to die for. The noodles were cooked just right, and I was so glad to have pickled ginger in the bowl and not on the side(or not there at all in a lot of ramen shops in Arkansas). I wish we had a Terakawa here! If you're in Philadelphia, you HAVE to eat here!

Lovely food. Hummus spread variety was pretty unique with some really bold flavors. Pita of course was the soft, warm, and chewy. For mains, the chicken thighs was garlicky, juicy, bright, and flavorful. Chicken a chnitzel was crispy and moist. Everything was fairly basic but didn’t try to be anything over the top. A bit pricey but a porthole experience to come back for.

We were visiting from out of town and made a reservation at Dizengoff to celebrate a special day together. From the moment we walked in we felt taken care of. David made sure we had a great table, and Valentina was wonderful. This was the best hummus we’ve ever had. French fries had the perfect crunchiness. Entrees were very plentiful. Highly recommend this restaurant!

i have been to laserwolf in bk and had an amazing meal so was so excited when i found this was also from the same chef. the food was delicious and comforting. if we had an endless stomach, we would have ordered the whole menu. menu highlights: hummus tehina (try it with the fries and its the perfect bite), fries (obvi), lamb kofte (cooked perfectly and juicy), and coconut malabi (loved it).

We started with the hummus sampler, served with warm pita — flavorful and delicious. I had the lamb neck for my entrée; it was tender and tasty. The fennel side had a unique, slightly acquired flavor — not my favorite but not bad either. My friend’s za’atar chicken looked and tasted great. Service was friendly and attentive, and overall it was a very good dining experience.

Incredible restaurant! The server was very passionate about the food and made great recommendations. All of the hummus’ were fantastic but special shout out to the cooked Turkish hummus with garlic oil! The chicken was cooked to perfection with a perfect crunchy schnitzel crust! The date cookie was good but was a bit drier than I was expecting. Will definitely be returning

Hummus: 5/5 A+. BEST humus I EVER HAD. I normally don’t like humus. This was AMAZING. Lamb Kofte: 2/5. The other stuff on the plate was good. The lamb was…not good. Felt like my entire insides smelt like lamb for the next few hours. Still makes me sick thinking about it. Chicken schnitzel: 4/5. Pretty good. Specially if you put some of the humus on it. Could use a little more…seasoning or salt but it was my first time with Israeli food. It could be a cultural thing. Frozen pink lemonade: 4/5. Thank god I ordered this. Was a really good pallet cleanse after that lamb dish. Wish they made the drink minty by actually crushing the mint into the drink and not just throwing it on top, but solid drink overall. Chocolate pita French toast: 3.5/5. A little too sweet. Felt like I was eating a cake but I took the leftovers home and have been enjoying taking bits of it here and there since yesterday. Service: the server came by ONCE like 5 minutes after we got our food and never again. I had to wave her down a few times to order additional things (I ordered the French toast and wanted something savory after a few bites). I mean I was sitting there the entire time that my gf was eating just waiting for the server to come by our area. Overall, In the future, I’ll def order the hummus to go, but won’t be eating the other things

Had an incredible meal at Dizengoff in Rittenhouse Square—everything we ordered was spot on. The shakshouka was perfect: rich, flavorful, and honestly addictive. The hummus was creamy, packed with flavor, and we ended up ordering extra pita just to soak up every bit. The chicken schnitzel was insane—in the best way—with a generous portion of rice, salad, and tahini on the side. And the tahini ice cream sandwich? In a class of its own. We ordered a lot, and every single dish delivered. The pricing is fair for the quality, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

Had dinner here with my husband and a very dear friend( who's coworker said that this was the best Greek restaurant in Philly... absolutely correct) The food was delicious, with great service and prices. We were also lucky enough to get parking, directly across the street.

This restaurant has been on south street since the late 70s and I can see why. This is authentic Greek food to a T! We were here Valentine’s Day and the restaurant looked the part, and we were big fans of their food. The lamb and chicken kebabs were fire. The sides including rice, potatoes, and hummus were great too. Alcohol selection had plenty of good options to choose from. Looking forward to the next visit here

This is an oldie but goody. I was visiting Philly and introduced my son to an old tradition. When I was around his age and younger, my friends and I would almost always get gyros from here. When we arrived after clubbing or doing the South Street stroll we would go to the order window and all get walking gyros. X amount of years later and I share this amazing experience with my kid. I'm so glad they're still around and I pray that they are around when I bring my grandbabies.

love this place and will def be back! got the greek salad and the calamari as well as the lentil soup and a veggie platter. All super super delicious and service was quick!

If you want Philly’s best chicken kabob sandwich, check out South Street Souvlaki. The chicken is tender, perfectly seasoned, and grilled just right, then tucked into warm pita with tomatoes, lettuce, olives and creamy tzatziki. A must go-to if you’re craving authentic Greek food, that’s very reasonably priced and easy to find on South Street.

My favorite Greek restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious and there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. I ordered the veggie platter today and there were so many wonderful savory bits of sheer bliss. Even the iced tea was perfect. Prices are very reasonable and the staff is very friendly.

We've loved South Street Souvlaki for over 25-yrs! Excellent gyros, fabulous Greek Sampler appetizer with numerous Mediterranean delicacies, and the best hummus I've ever had anywhere. Prices are very reasonable, portions are generous, food quality is excellent, and dishes are homemade. It shows. Service is solid and atmosphere is cozy. A bit tight and cramped, but interesting interior and bar space, with view into kitchen. We love the quality and consistency of South St. Souvlaki for an authentic taste of Greece right here in Philly!

Cool bar I stopped in for a drink and a rest. They were already on my list due to their menu. I should've come the previous night for those perogies. Their veggie/vegan menu gets plenty of good reviews and I'm really disappointed I didn't order any food when I was there. I was still hungover and needed a liquid lunch instead. It was early and the few people there were mostly for said food. Service was good and attentive. I liked their golden bar top, and could see the future drunken pictures of me in their go-kart. I didn't get a chance to check out the upstairs area. They also have daily specials which would keep me coming back.

I heard a lot about this place, but thought it was going to be grungy inside. It’s the exact opposite. It’s a really cute and fun inside. I definitely was sleeping on this place. Went here on the late night on a holiday nonetheless and the food and service was on point. They cater to mixed diets which is great since I’m vegan and my friend isn’t. We both ordered the corn dogs as starters. He had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and I had the Beyond Mom’s Vegan Burger. We shared some fries. To drink we both had the Tiki Kitty. I never had a corn dog before and enjoyed it and so did my friend. He really liked his Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. At first he didn’t think it was that spicy, but the spice kicked in and he was like I feel the heat now. I was worried my beyond burger was going to feel like something I eat at home, but they put their own spin on it and it was yummy. The Tiki Kittys were good, but I can’t say I tasted the liquor like that. This is a great option for reasonable food and it’s great they are open late.

I didn't have any food from here but the cocktails are great, the staff are friendly and I had this cute cat cup for $8 I am obsessed. This place is a must for a visit to philly. They have free arts and crafts on Sunday it was so much fun. 10/10 recommend!

I was craving a vegan cheesesteak on my way home from work today. I googled a search for it and this place was the closest and had excellent reviews on their vegan cheesesteak. It was the absolute worst one I’ve ever had in my life! And I was starving hungry! It was $18 for the cheesesteak and a bottle of Coke. I left a three dollar tip. This was takeout. I don’t know what kind of plant-based meat they used, but it was horrible. Even the roll just wasn’t good. It was like a day old roll. I’m really hugely disappointed for wasting my money. I ended up just picking it apart since there was mostly bread, and tossed half of it. I knew I I should have made that extra 1 mile trip and gone to Monster Vegan! I’m so sorry I didn’t!

I came here late night after performing in a show SO HUNGRY! I wasn't sure if the kitchen was still open so I called while I was on the way. Bobby was on the other end of the phone with such great energy letting me know that the kitchen was closing soon but to come on in and he'll be at he door waiting to take my order! I went and was not disappointed. Bobby was waiting there with such a postivie demeanor. My order was put in immediately so I didn't miss the window. I ordered perogies and vegan cheese waffle fries. While I waited for less than 10 minutes, Bobby kept me company with great conversation and warm hospitality. I can't wait to go back and stay rather than take it to go.

The ambiance is pretty abstract and cool. The server was extremely rude to us, our whole group hated the service here. I ordered the Mom's burger, the most average/basic burger in the world. The silver lining was that it wasn't bad.

Nice dive/punk bar vybe with a valid pool table and a good amount of vegan options on the menu. The vegan cheese sauce on the fries was kinda sweet but they have a great cheese steak. Deigo is a great bartender.

Absolutely delicious falafel! Crispy on the outside, soft and full of flavor on the inside. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. The pita was warm and fluffy, and the salads were super fresh with just the right balance. The tahini and pickles tied everything together perfectly. Fast service, friendly staff, and great value for the price. If you're a falafel lover, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!

Falafel sandwich is very very delicious, staff is helpful. Falafel salad was mostly greens prefer the sandwich both very delicious though

It's hard to get falafel right. Theirs is decent. The milkshakes are impressive for vegan. I wish it had more seating and was a little quieter, maybe an extra wall between the seating and where you order. Love the free water dispenser with real cups.

The original Tehina shake is spectacular. The Turkish Coffee shake is outstanding as well. This is the only place I have been able to find shakes made with tehini. Next time I'm in town, I will try the rest of the menu. Something interesting with the consuming of the shakes: my blood glucose did not spike. In fact, it barely rose.

Delicious falafel! I got a sandwich with fries in it and really enjoyed it. The picture when ordering online made it seem like it was on the smaller side and I can assure you it was not! It really filled me up for lunch. Would definitely recommend for a fairly quick bite!

Goldie’s never disappoints. Love the falafel sandwich and fires there and could eat it everyday for lunch. The service is always very quick. Pricing is reasonable. Everything is tasty, and if you haven’t tried it you should give it a try for lunch.

Best falafel in Philly for sure. Got the sandwich which was big and packed with vegetables. Wrapped up and easy to eat on the go. The tehina milkshake isn’t something you can get everywhere so I gave it a try. Really good. Inside also had a nice aesthetic and the staff was friendly. I’ll visit anytime I’m in the area.

A really good fusion Vietnamese breakfast place! If you’re a big fan of Asian food, get a bowl of chao ga chicken porridge. If you want a typical breakfast with Vietnamese pulled pork, thit kho hash is the best choice for you. I’d come back for trying more Veit dish they have. The place itself is little too small and crowded tho, but it’s worth it.

TBD hosted my husband’s 40th birthday party and everything went smooth like butter. Thai (owner) made sure to discuss everything in prep for the party and she is very flexible and creative in formulating a menu that suits your flavor profile. She created a Bun Cha Hanoi summer roll as my husband’s roll because he loves that dish. The dishes were amazing… my favorite was the mini Thit Kho Hash with a quail egg. Everyone was raving about the food especially the spring rolls. The hand crafted drinks were delicious- my fave was strawberry matcha oat milk! Yumoh. Oh and the pastry chef created a delicious and dare I say, moist, vanilla cupcakes with a decadent lychee buttercream frosting. I can’t say enough good things about the food and service. Highly recommend. TBD is a must for breakfast or brunch! 10/10

Got breakfast here this morning. The omelette was very hearty and tasty, though my breakfast buddy wasn't a fan. Personally, I loved the interesting menu options and the Vietnamese coffee and the decore are great. I say 4 and not 5 stars, because it's really too loud in there. Some sort of sound dampening would be great as I had to shout to have a conversation across the table.

The number 1 thing i look for in a bahn mi: is the bread fresh? YES! I came here on a random Tuesday afternoon and the bread was tasty and fresh. Fresh herbs. I got the crispy tofu which felt like it was prepared freshly battered as well. You can see the kitchen from the counter and everything looked clean. I ordered to go and the guy told me 15 min but i think i was waiting for no longer than 10. I ate outside on their dog friendly patio. Cute spot! Next time i might try their breakfast food. Didnt realize it was a dine in place with wait staff.

We had a good experience at The Breakfast Den. Definitely a unique brunch experience with the Vietnamese influence. The "Sang Som"mer Roll was quite good when dipped in the aioli. The chef's omelette with the pulled pork was decent and the home fries were okay at best. And my wife said the matcha vietnamese iced tea wasn't her favorite. Definitely overall everything needed a little bit more flavoring, and we had to add salt and pepper to make things more flavorful, but would consider coming back and trying something off their lunch menu.

I came across an article regarding their congee (cháo) during my trip to Philly and I had to stop by. I’m so glad I did. This little cafe was packed on a Sunday morning but the staff are very efficient and friendly. Expect a little wait if you are a group of 5+. As a Saigon born and raised Viet, I usually find food at fusion restaurants lacking authentic flavors. It is not the case at all at The Breakfast Den! We ordered Cháo gà (Chicken congee) and Thịt Kho Hash and were blown away by how delicious the food was. Bonus point for the most adorable corner storefront and little trinkets inside.

I will definitely be coming back here! The food was absolutely delicious and very affordable. The service was great—friendly and attentive—and the drinks alone were worth the visit. I highly recommend the Lavender London Fog or the Chai; both were incredible. The portion sizes were generous. We split the chicken sandwich and the salad, and both were packed with flavor and so satisfying. I’m already excited to come back and try more from the menu. It truly feels like I’ve found a hidden gem—a hole-in-the-wall spot that delivers on all fronts.

***Cash only*** You can tell this is a local/tourist favorite, with lines non stop and lines moving smoothly. Everything is streamlined super well. There’s lots of extra room upstairs. I’ve been here 10 years ago before they had renovated (after a fire recently, or quasi-recently, apparently). I must say that this time it wasn’t as good as I remember it. I thought back then it was the best thing I’ve ever tasted… Philly cheese steak with whiz, onions, mayo, mushrooms. This time, it was yummy, but not as great as I remember it. It was fun watching the two cooks cut up the sliced, cooked beef into minced meat, but I’m just wondering whether it would have been more satisfying if they had left the meat sliced and not minced. I’ve made this stop because i thought it was an important stop in Philly, but i think i will skip it next time I’m in town. There are many options. I am game to try something new.

Excellent Philly cheesesteak! One of the best of my life. Of the three I had during my trip to Philadelphia, this one had my favorite bread by far. The meat looked like ground beef when it was sitting on the grill instead of thinly shaved ribeye. Im sure it still was equally good quality ribeye, but it was just maybe more finely chopped here, vs other places where you can see it is in larger shavings. I ordered extra cheese and they hooked it up. I got the sweet peppers on top, also delicious. Good price too compared to a lot of the fancier cheesesteak places. The only criticism I have is that they take cash only. I would say this is a contender for my favorite cheesesteak in Philadelphia, will absolutely come back anytime I am in the area again!

Was recommended this spot by a local relative. Thankfully I stopped here because it was incredible! Ordered with wiz and onions. After I got the sandwich and sat down to eat I thought there was no way I could finish it. When I took the first bite I noticed how soft and fresh the bread was. Before I knew it, I had inhaled the entire cheesesteak! Not just the best cheesecake I've ever had, Jim's South St. has probably the best sandwich I've ever eaten! Kudos for the quality and consistency. Loved the upstairs area as well, the mosaics are really cool. Side note: When I was flying out of Philly, I saw that Jim's has a restaurant in the airport as well. I couldn't help myself and tried one more. While not as good as the original obviously, it was still an amazing sandwich.

Delicious Philly Cheese steak at a budget friendly price. Quaint little restaurant that is both clean and appealing to the eye. I gave 4 stars for service only because of the long line... but I guess that's what happens when everyone wants a taste of the best.

Cash only! Not cheap but cheese steak sandwich was excellent. We had it with grilled onions and jalapeno peppers and provolone we had one sandwich and a bottle of Diet Coke and it was almost $18. It’s a Philly thing to get the cheese steak so it was a success.

This is our favorite place for steak sandwiches in Philly. The meat is tender and chopped nicely. The cooks are friendly and the place is great with alot of seating. We go to Jim's every time we are in Philly!

I don’t know what all the hype is about. The meat had no seasoning. The only seasoning I tasted was from the cheese. Maybe I came on the wrong day. The seating area was clean and nice, there is also seating upstairs and outside as well.

Stopped in here for happy hour to check it out (my gf had been raving about it for a long time). I wasn’t disappointed at all! All of the small plates I tried were absolutely incredible. The service was fast even though they were quite busy. Finally, the sangria (both offerings) were nothing short of amazing. Thank you!

Amada is Chef Garces' iconic first restaurant. When searching for a romantic dinner location during our weekend away in Philadelphia, we searched no further than Amada. Entering the rustic industrial space one is immediately nestled in a warm and sexy ambiance. This tapas style restaurant offers a plethora of delicious bites expertly prepared and complemented by vast wine and cocktail selections . We chose The Estrella and Pain & Glory cocktails to start. The Estrella is a vodka based drink mixed with St. Germain, lemon, blueberry and finished with club soda. The P&G is a habanero tequila based drink blended with agave, lime and fresh apples. Both were a wonderful pairing with our tapas selections. We began with Gambas al Ajillo and the Bruselas Catalana. The shrimp were plump, perfectly cooked and steeped in a rich and flavorful garlic sauce that offered a slight hint of smoky heat. The Brussels were like none I have ever tried and probably the best I've ever had, and I am a frequent Brussels eater! They are enveloped in a Valdeon fondue then sprinkled with pine nuts and tart green apple. A marriage of flavors absolutely made in heaven! Last we culminated our meal with the Entrecote, a thinly sliced Wagyu Skirt Steak served with a bright and herbaceous chimichurri and a petite Salmon filet served with a Saffron Vinaigrette. The steak was beautifully marbled and the preparation highlighted the natural rich flavor of the meat. The salmon skin was seared to perfection and the filet was moist, juicy and seasoned to perfection. Overall, Amada is a MUST when in the Philly area. Chef Garces' first concept is truly first rate!! You will not be disappointed!!

Really enjoyed the tapas selection. We split each one to get a taste of what Jose Garces has created. We especially enjoyed the lamb meatballs, potatoes bravas and the chicken skewers.

Got to finally check out Amada for Brunch. Was pleasantly surprised. Jenn who greeted us gave great recommendations. By far one of the best Espresso Martinis I have had in the city. Food packs flavor and great value. Try the Bacon Wrap Dates!

What a fantastic experience! I booked Amada for Mother’s Day brunch to celebrate my wife’s first Mother’s Day, and we couldn’t have been happier. I reserved a table online and we were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server was incredibly friendly, attentive, and especially kind and helpful with our son. We started with the bread basket—highlighted by the standout olive oil cake—and enjoyed a variety of tapas. The Ensalada Verde was probably our favorite, though the croquettes were also delicious. For our mains, we had the Revulto and Crab Benedict, both packed with flavor. We couldn’t resist ordering the sangria pancakes for a sweet finish—absolutely worth it! Everything from the food to the ambience made for a truly memorable and special Mother’s Day celebration. IG: journey_man16

My husband and I had the most wonderful dinner date at this tapas restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, cozy, and romantic—perfect for a night out together. The staff was welcoming and attentive, striking the right balance between giving us space to enjoy our evening and being available whenever we needed something. The food was absolutely outstanding. Each small plate was beautifully presented and full of flavor. We ordered the chef’s selection and was pleased with every bite. We especially loved the calamari, wagyu steak and the fried pimientos which were cooked to perfection and paired so well with the wine we ordered. Sharing the different dishes made the meal feel interactive and fun, and every bite was a new highlight. What really stood out was how smoothly everything flowed, even though the restaurant was busy. The service was friendly, efficient, and made us feel like valued guests. It’s rare to find a place that combines delicious food, great service, and a romantic vibe all in one, but this restaurant delivered on every level. We left already talking about when we’ll come back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable date night spot!

We went for restaurant week and I was blown away at how delicious every dish was. It was so much fun trying all the different things and ranking them for fun and so we know what to get next time. The steak and patatas bravas were my favorites. We got the sangria and it was very average.

The sandwich. I had no expectations even though I have seen and heard a decent amount about this place. I always let the food speak for itself. Ordered the pork sandwich with provolone and hots. The sandwich was a decent size enough for two humans. You get a relatively good amount of pork slices pretty thin. It’s got a decent taste not really seasoned not a wow flavor - The bread was soft and chewy. Not a roll worth bragging about. The hot pepper was soggy and the provolone was 1 slice per side of the sandwich and it had a moderate strong taste. The sandwich itself is $15 add on $1 per side and $4 for a bottle of water. So prepare to spend $25 for lunch at least .I do have to say the staff is not warm and fuzzy. They are all business so please know how to order even if it’s your first time. Otherwise they seem annoyed you don’t know how. I get it. They see a lot of people in a day and customer service food industry is a tough bunch. But at least smile. I mean you are charging $17 for a sandwich. Overall it’s a good sandwich worth trying for sure. I might try a different meat next time. The brisket or roast beef might be far superior.

Tommy DiNic’s is one of those spots that comes up on every “must-eat” list for Reading Terminal Market, so I had to give it a try. I went for the roast pork sandwich, which I later realized wasn’t the move—most people rave about the pulled pork, and I can see why. The roast pork was fine: sliced thin, not dry at all, but also not particularly juicy or flavorful. It leaned on the leaner side, so it’s probably great if you’re looking for a lighter option. Just don’t expect a flavor bomb. The bread was solid—crusty and held up well—and I added sharp provolone and broccoli rabe. The cheese gave it a nice kick, and the rabe added some bitterness, but overall the sandwich didn’t hit as hard as I hoped. It felt like it was missing that extra oomph. That said, service was quick and the staff were super efficient despite the lunch rush. If I come back, I’ll definitely go for the pulled pork with all the fixings. Lesson learned: go with the house favorite. Worth trying, but choose wisely.

I’ve been coming to DiNic’s at Reading Terminal for close to 20 years, and this most recent visit was easily the most disappointing I’ve ever had there. I went in craving the classic pulled pork with broccoli rabe and provolone — the sandwich I’ve enjoyed countless times over the years — only to find no pulled pork available, just roast pork. I figured I’d still give it a shot, but unfortunately the sandwich simply didn’t deliver. The pork was just OK — not especially juicy or flavorful, and felt like it had been sitting around toward the end of the day. The broccoli rabe was mostly stems, missing that tender, leafy bitterness DiNic’s used to nail. The jus was average, lacking depth and richness. Presentation and service were similarly lackluster. What really sealed the disappointment was the price: $27 for one sandwich and two drinks. And on top of that, each add-on including provolone was an extra dollar — which felt excessive given the final product. For a place I’ve enthusiastically recommended to friends and family for almost two decades, this visit was a letdown. At this point, I can’t confidently recommend DiNic’s the way I used to. Maybe I caught them on an off day — but even on an off day, a Philadelphia institution should perform better than “average.” If you’re able to travel a bit further south in Philly and want to experience what a top-tier roast pork sandwich should still taste like, head to John’s Roast Pork. It remains the gold standard — juicy, balanced, loaded with flavor, and worth the trip when you’ve got the time and you’re in the area. I truly hope DiNic’s gets back to the quality and consistency that made it a legend, but as of now, the magic wasn’t there

Tommy DiNic’s came highly recommended by my coworker, and their Italian-style pulled pork sandwich did not disappoint — it’s truly out of this world. 🧆 Food: I had the Italian pulled pork with mixed peppers and provolone. The sandwich was massive, packed with outstanding flavors, and surprisingly well priced for what you get. 👥 Service: Service was insanely quick despite the nonstop crowd, and the staff was super friendly, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. 🎨 Aesthetic: Located right in the heart of Reading Terminal Market, the wrap-around counter gives you a clear view of them crafting these amazing sandwiches. It’s lively and authentic, perfect for a quick but memorable meal.

Had to try DiNic’s while at Reading Terminal. The pork sandwich with sharp cheddar and broccoli rabe. It was amazing and I will definitely be back.

We have been on a Road trip across the US and Canada for the past 29 days. But we decided to stop today to have this sandwich, which I had back in 2012, right after Mark Weins reviewed it... and back then it was exceptional... delicious. Honestly, top 2 in my life back then. NOT today tho... the meat was tender, but not as flavored as before. The bread is heavier. And the greens are plain, unflavored. I bought 2 for my family and I, and we only ate half of 1. Did you change the recipe? Or are you not doing QC your product. I'm 5 hours away now, reason why I dont return this very expensive sandwich. I hope the owner sees this comment and addresses the issue, bc your nearest competitors are confectioning better products, while your sandwiches are famous but not great anymore... and that means losing loyal customers like me...

Now, I'm not someone who does this at all, Ever, but this morning I went to reading terminal market after a particularly challenging morning in search of some comfort food. I especially had a craving for a roast beef sandwich broccoli rabe and I looked up where I could get one, because I really have not familiarized myself with vendors there and have rarely been to RTM over the years. I found Dinic's and was looking forward to getting something there and their menu is simple and I knew what I wanted. I ordered my sandwich and when I got it, well to say I was disappointed would be an understatement if I am honest. Everything was cooked well enough, but the rabe was just too leafy and it was like it wasn't incorporated with the meat well. And well, as for the meat, I literally could barely taste it. Like just nothing, no seasoning, garlic, no OOMPH at all. Just forgettable, like I Would have had the same exact day whether or not I had bought it. It was bland and the most flavor I got came from the prov. And it was around 9:30 so there were not very many patrons yet. Maybe it's an issue of taste but I definitely regret spending 18 dollars here. The lady who served me was very sweet though.

I bought the banana and vanilla ice cream with peanuts topping in a cup from the Bassetts Ice Cream location in the Reading Terminal Market in Philly. Ice cream is tasty and fresh. Lots of people order from this store. Service is very quick and the staffs are courteous and friendly. They also have a kiosk to place the order.

Located inside the reading terminal market is the creamiest and smoothest ice cream I’ve ever tasted. So many flavors, milk shakes, and options! Great place to go if you need a sweet treat

Bassets Ice Cream Reading Terminal 5/12 Kind customer service - they allowed us to taste things and patiently waited close to closing time. We had the vanilla bean and blueberry pomegranate flavors and both were very creamy and flavorful. They give a LOT of ice cream — I recommend sharing with someone if possible.

Had peanut butter swirl and chocolate chocolate chip. It was very good, but I do think Milk Jawn is better. Not sure this is truly worth the long line but is a good sweet treat!

Sometimes you just have to go classic, and that means Bassetts at Reading Terminal Market. It gets the job done. It dates back to 1861. Long may it endure.

Ice cream and staff were good. It's inside the Reading Market. Many ice cream choices.

got mango and pistachio scoops in a waffle cone for $8. the mango was fantastic but I wasn’t crazy about the pistachio. I’ve tried the pumpkin flavor in the past and loved it. definitely stop by if you’re ever at reading terminal!

Beef in cheese steaks is chopped finely (a few steps away from ground beef) and condiments/toppings like ketchup and peppers are on the bottomof the sandwich. Bread roll is not toasted. You might be able to request it toasted, but it's not the default. Cash only establishment, but an ATM is nearby. Orders are highlighted on the screen and it's a 20-25 minutes wait from the time your order is placed (I went on a late Sunday afternoon). American cheese whiz is mixed well with the meat. Overall 8/10.

The food was good. Way too much meat for me, but to each his own. The meat was tender & make sure you say "yes" to salt & pepper or you'll have a bland sandwich! The bun was nice & soft. The peppers were sweet & tender just the way I like them. The only problem I had was the cheez whiz was an extra $1 & they gave me a teaspoon of it(as you can see in the photo) which the wrapper consumed most of 🙄 lol other then that it was a great experience!

Good cheesesteaks. Seeded bun is a hit. Good amount of cheese spreed really well throughout. Onions and veggie topping perfectly cooked but also still have a crunch. Not soggy. Great flavors. It was a beautiful day outside and we were with friends so the wait wasn’t bad at all but maybe if it was raining or something miserable, the line would be smaller and the wait would be more miserable. We went on a Saturday at 1:30pm in October and we waited about 20 min for four steaks. We brought a blanket and sat on the grass next to the shop. Magical. Otherwise it’s either a to go situation or you get one of the four tables available for your group. We also people go across the street to chubbies to use their tables lol staff was nice, fast, and hard workers. Very Philly MO. I would recommend.

Well, tell Alessandro’s is one of the best if not the top five in the Philadelphia region for cheesesteaks. You may want to go to others like Jim stakes on South Street and some of the other more touristy spots but for people who know this is the place to go. Avoid Gino’s and Pat stakes at all cost. You will be sorely disappointed now I’d like to provide the reasons why I gave this not five stars across the board. There is no atmosphere you are no longer permitted to go inside de Alessandro’s. It is a pick up Orit outside on the three available picnic tables that they have that is it. I had asked them about opening up the inside and they told me they have no plans to do that in the immediate future that’s kind of sad. Now the cheesesteaks I’ve had there been eating at Delasandro’s for over 20 years 25 years approximately and they were. They’ve been really good at times and other times they’ve been just average. With other popular cheesesteaks in the area and the affordability of it being so expensive because my two cheesesteaks I got were a regular cheesesteak with American mayo fried onions, and the other one was a chicken cheesesteak with cheese, whiz, and fried onions. That came to $33! Now we did have a celebrity in our midst. Ronny Chieng from the Daily show. I now go to another cheesesteak place close by my house called Verona’s and for about the same price the cheesesteaks were better flavored and seasoning. The rolls were a little bit better as well and it was just an all-around better experience. You can check out my other reviews from Verona‘s to wherever else I’ve been in the world.

First time coming here & can’t wait to be back. You wait 15-20 minutes for your cheesesteak but it’s well worth it especially for the size. My family went & we all loved our steaks! I’m more of a plain Jane cheesesteak but I loved the hot pepper relish & banana peppers.

Dalessandro’s was truly a great experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better. And the Philly cheesesteak? Easily the best I’ve had so far—packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and worth every bite. If you’re looking for an authentic cheesesteak in Philly, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

We’re from Charlotte & came up here for a concert. Was told this is the one and only spot to get a Philly cheesesteak from and holy crap it does not disappoint. Got the 62 special & we’re now hooked on lime Garage Beer. Ordering is quick (at the window on the right), they’ll call out your name/have it on a screen and you wait in line at the window on the left to get your food! CASH ONLY!!! Wait could be 45 min + but worth it. Don’t go anywhere else in Philly for a cheesesteak, there’s no point.

I’ve only been a few times, but this is my new favorite spot. I love being able to share different plates, especially with my loved ones that don’t eat meat and/or dairy. The potato croquettes are a must every time, the empanadas are delicious, and they are generous with the sauce (love that). I look forward to trying more of their food, drinks, and desserts. Seating on the booth side is preferred, it’s easy to smack your head on the dado rail if the chair is too close to the wall on the other side.

Charlie was a sinner. Who was Charlie, why the guilt? Still a mystery, but what is not... this place is awesome. It's moody, dimly lit. The decorations give old-world charm with a modern edge. Offers small plates that are vegan. I had the grilled cheese, omg... and still surprised by the vegan part of it all. Served with style. Service was friendly, attentive- the server even helped to celebrate my half-way to 100 birthday. A great place to take a date or a few friends for an intimate night, where you feel a little fancy but still comfortable. Even visited the bathrooms, not that I needed to but to round out the whole experience. Will definitely go back to check out more of that amazing menu and the high-quality drinks. Great list of cocktails. Everything was good... Highly recommend, if you want good food, good drinks, and a fun night!

Somehow my reservation was cancelled but the staff was able to put our party of 3 outside so I appreciate the last minute accommodation. The restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night. Very dark and moody inside. We ordered the meatballs, potato croquettes, korean style tofu, sliders, empanadas, and the Turkish lamb kafta. My favorite dish was the empanadas. I could’ve eaten 3 orders of them as my meal. The sauce was to die for. Everything else was pretty good. The Korean style tofu was pretty spicy and definitely my least favorite. My vegetarian parents loved the meatballs and the ricotta. We got the coconut crème brûlée for dessert which I highly recommend. We did end up being overcharged which we noticed after our card was ran but the staff was able to correct this quickly.

This place is amazing. The menu doesn't do the food justice. It's tapas style food. Everything was delicious and looked amazing. The darker quiet atmosphere is relaxing with no obnoxious music blaring. It's easy to talk to your family/friends. Literally my only complaint was our water was almost room temp but for some this would be a preference. Can't wait to return.

Located in the Midtown Village, this place rocks my socks off. It's sexy interior and energy is consuming as soon as you step inside. Our server was excellent, and attentive throughout our meal. The high energy also means a very loud space. So, it was a bit difficult to hear and understand what our server was saying. I think he knew how to read lips...because he never flinched to try to understand us. I had to start my night of with a cocktail, and C'est La Vie did the trick on that. Jalapeno infused mezcal, aguardiente, Aperitivo, watermelon, lime, mint cocktail that was perfect. For appetizers we shared Charlie's Rendezvous - maverick cave-aged camembert, white bean hummus, wild mushroom pate, spiced peanuts, red grapes, Castelvetrano olives, grilled bread. Next on to the Curried sweet pea and potato empanadas. On to the Caramelized eggplant bao buns.... HOLY >>> these were good! Finally we dined on the Turkish "Lamb" Kofta - This is the point where I had to remind my partner that "this is a vegan restaurant"... he had completely forgotten that as we ate. Every item we ordered was absolutely wonderful in presentation, flavor and texture. Yet, coming from the San Francisco bay area where food is king, we could not have been more wowed. This was our final meal in Philly and it was definitely memorable. Thank you for such a great dining experience!

My review is based on the fact that we didn’t realize it was vegan at first but also the food coming out lukewarm and cold. Drinks were great hence the 3 stars. But if you pride yourself on it being vegan and tell me I won’t even notice the difference and the foods good, make sure the carrots aren’t cold. 😂 overall place itself is cute and I would come back here for drinks but would not order the food again ! ( we went during pride and it was slammed over there)

The food was very good! But very small dishes. We had to order 2 per person. The service was great! Not a cheap place but not expensive either. It is recommended to make reservations 1 day in advance it's always crowded. We didn't make a reservation and we had to wait 15 minutes on a Sunday night.

What a great find. A gorgeous ' old fashioned' coffee shop with internal tables and chairs, just a short walk form the pretty Rittenhouse Square. It was busy during the yime of my visit, with a short queue, which moved relatively quickly. Service was friendly and effiecient. I had a regular latte which was good quality coffee and was served hot. Just as a like it. Cakes and pastries were available but in managed to resist. Prices were very good for the US. All in all much better quality and value than the branded coffee chains. I'd definitely recommend and return. Thank you.

A good location close to my hotel, with decent coffee. Had seen pictures with Italian inspired ceramic mugs, which I longed to be served on, but unfortunately they are no longer being used. But the ceramic table tops added that Tuscan touch which I was looking for. Went a little after opening time, and the staff was busier catching up with their own weekend stories than with paying attention to customers’ requests. Like the self service water station which offered both sparkling and still water, with nice looking glasses. Pastries looked a little tired and the apple cinnamon scone was heavy on sugar.

La Colombe at Rittenhouse Square offers a delightful late afternoon coffee experience. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a rainy day retreat. We ordered an Americano, cappuccino, hot chocolate, banana bread, and assorted cookies. Each item was exceptional, particularly the rich flavors of the coffee and the moist banana bread. The service was attentive and friendly, enhancing our visit. Overall, it was a pleasurable experience that combined great coffee with a warm atmosphere, making it a must-visit spot in Philadelphia

I'm finally rating this spot, an all time fave. Always happening, very friendly and joyful really. The flavors are as fab as the aroma. The baristas & all staff are super nice, offer great suggestions when asked, and make my favorite macchiato. This morning was the only time I've been that's not packed, with a little wait time.

I was in search of a coffee spot while visiting Philly this past weekend and stumbled across this one. There were a line of ppl so I assumed it had to be good quality and I was right! I ordered a simple vanilla latte w/ half and half. Very delicious, it had the perfect amount of espresso to milk ratio. I would definitely recommend

Very positive and high energy atmosphere. Coffee was smooth and perfectly balanced.

Really good coffee. The only problem was that the tap water was not cold nor sparkling and it said “cold” and “sparkling”

Some of the seating in the restaurant is tight so I chose to sit by the front near the door. I ordered hand pulled noodles with some beef and added chili oil with hot sauce. I enjoyed my bowl couldn’t even finish it cause it was so much food. The soy egg I got I didn’t like it was rubbery and chewy. The coconut chicken dumplings were amazing. The wife liked her noodles however she did not like the texture of her chicken she preferred it be some type of shredded for soup.

If you have not tried hand pulled noodles, this place might be worth a visit. They have a good diverse menu that offers hand pulled noodles in a wide variety of preparation, both soup style noodles, or fried noodles. Besides the main attraction, they also have a good selection of Dim Sum, and classic Chinese dishes. Portions were large for all of their entrees/dishes. Bring a big appetite when you visit! The interior has been updated since our last visit. It seems to be more spacious. Staff is very attentive to our needs. I do believe they only take cash, but an ATM machine is available.

Amazing dumplings (recommend the sampler), scallion pancake, and hand pulled noodles. Each dumpling had a unique flavor. The scallion pancake was fried to perfection with each flaky layer standing out. The pulled noodles had the perfect amount of add-ins (vegetables, meats) and a flavor that stood out, but wasn't overpowering. Service was great from the time I sat down all the way through. It was busy, but the food came out hot and fast. Looks unassuming from the outside, which just adds to the vibe. Only note is that they only take cash or venmo, so be prepared.

Great classic noodles! This is the best noodle restaurant, in my personal beliefs, in Chinatown of Philly! I remember coming here when I was in high school. That’s how long this place has been open for! I got the knife shaved noodles with lamb, overall very good with no complaints 5/5. The cold jellyfish appetizer is good, but maybe I just had the better version my mom made, so I gotta give this one 4/5. Lastly, the tomato egg noodles my husband got was just okay. It was lacking in flavor, the noodles did not take on the flavor of the soup, 3/5. I do however recommend anyone visiting Philly to visit this restaurant, given that there’s a variety of noodles and dishes that can satisfy lots of different people. Service is impeccable.

We are staying in Philly for the weekend and wanted a quick and easy Chinese meal. Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House was perfect! There was no wait on a Friday evening and the service was quick. Definitely the beef noodle soup is the reason to come. The broth is not too salty and the beef pieces are tender and well flavored. The stir-fry Kong xin cai (or the Chinese water spinach) was a childhood staple, so to see it on a menu as a stir fry vegetable option was such a delightful surprise! It was perfectly sautéed and seasoned with salt and garlic. We also tried the wonton in chili oil. This was an average tasting dish and I honestly wouldn’t recommend it if you love or are thinking it would be similar to the Din Tai Fung one. It could have had more sauce poured over the wonton. Also the flavor was a bit flat. Overall, still a 5-star for the beef noodle soup!

Placed a to-go order, and it was ready quickly. The noodles were delicious and had a great chewy texture. The chicken was very tender, and the flavors were fairly typical of your average Chinese restaurant. The only shortcoming from our visit was that we received only one serving of rice, even though two dishes we ordered stated that they came with rice. Also worth noting: as of October 2025, they accept Venmo and cash.

Nice spot for late night hand pulled noodles. The texture of their homemade noodles is perfect, and the broth is really nice as well. Great for a cold day or night. Loved the different flavored dumplings set as well.

We came last night with 4 small children and had a great meal. The service was great, the food came quickly, and everything was delicious. The kids devoured the green beans, the egg tarts. I also loved the Dan Dan noodles and the pumpkin pancakes.

The dim sum here was a miss for me. It still tastes like Chinese food, but having tried dim sum in many places before, I felt that the food here was lacking in flavor. They also stopped making a good portion of the dishes that they show in the photo menu. The only ones they still offer are listed in the paper ordering menu, which was disappointing because we wanted several dishes shown on the photo menu. My favorite dish would be their pork soup dumplings. The egg tarts weren’t very crispy and the pickled garlic cucumber didn’t taste as good. The cucumbers also had some numbing spice, which might not be for everyone. Overall, it’s not a restaurant I’d be craving to visit again. The staff was kind though! Decor looked nice and the restaurant was clean. They do take credit card.

Slightly above average Chinese food. It’s great for groups and sharing everything family style. My favorites were the Dan Dan noodles (super soft noodles and yummy sauce) and stewed beef and turnip. I did not like the spicy tofu fish as the fish was too fishy, and did not like the texture of the string beans, which felt like it was not cooked thoroughly, altho the taste was pretty good with the pickled vegetables on top. Other dishes were good as well, including the soup dumplings and dry pot chicken. We ordered a tequila shot but it tasted like it was diluted with 50% water. It also took a very long time for the waiters to even get us a pencil for marking the menu. But after we ordered the food came out quite quickly.

Quick and delicious lunch. Appreciate the clearly labeled gluten-free options as well.

Great place to go after a night out. Three of us, one being vegan, were able to eat here and get al le carte dim sum options with the following descriptions below: -scallion pancakes: very crispy, light, slightly sweet -glazed crispy brussel sprouts: vegan friendly, very crispy and sweet tangy glaze -several veggie dumplings, crystal shrimp, and soup dumplings (my fave) -noodles (vegan friendly) -boa pork buns: soft, pillowy, tangy sweet inside, flavor/texture was good but not the best I’ve ever had Dishes came out at different times spanning from 5-25 minutes, so there may be a wait. Our waiter also forgot to place an order for the BBQ ribs we marked down on our sheet. Overall, great place for dim sum dinner.

Great dim sum as well as full meals. Indoor and outdoor seating and awesome service. The soup dumplings are souper flavorful and full! The spicy pork was delicious. Great noodle bowls and buns and oolong tea! Huge menu so multiple trips will be needed!

We had a group of 7 people today and were overall quite pleased with the service, the food, and the atmosphere. Generally, the food is good, though not everything was 100% authentic for us. We recommend the dumplings, shrimp shumais, pecking duck, and tofu skin. The hot and sour soup and the salt & pepper squid could have been better. Also, note that if you have a party of more than 5 people they automatically charge a 20% tip.

They have a really well-organized ordering setup, which I loved. The Philly cheesesteak was absolutely AMAZING. The beef shawarma platter was a bit of a letdown with some dried, chewy pieces, but the baba ghanoush, rice, and salad were decent, the sauce that comes with it was really nice. Overall, worth visiting for the cheesesteak alone!

A nice restaurant, friendly staff, and excellent fresh food. We ordered the Beef Cheesesteak, Chicken Maroosh, and Chicken Wings. They were all excellent. The chicken wings didn't have any special seasoning or flavor by themselves, but were fresh and crispy and went great with hot sauce. Having them with the garlic sauce from the Chicken Maroosh would be even better. The breads do the Cheesesteaks and Maroosh were both hot and crispy, which makes a huge difference. The portion of both sandwiches was also more than enough for one enough. It would be nice if they offered more of a variety ("Zero" calorie drinks, not just diet). Nonetheless, enjoyed the visit as always. I try to stop by here whenever I'm in Philly. Highly recommend.

The store is decorated really tastefully with verses from the Quran posted on the walls, one side of booth seating and one side of table seating. It’s clean and looks well maintained. Unfortunately, I drove a few hours from another state particularly to try the cheesesteak and it was a major disappointment. It’s a lot of oil, onion and beef- I didn’t taste anything else. There was barely any cheese. The mayo was clumped into a few areas, not spread out. It was just a bummer. The chicken sandwich was okay. Nothing to rave about. On top of that- they do not have it listed anywhere that they close in the middle of the day. There’s nothing wrong with giving employees a break, especially since it’s such a busy restaurant, but it wasn’t listed in the store hours so we arrived at the restaurant only to have to wait 30 minutes because they were closed. They are also not subtle at all about tips. Every single table has a sign so it’s clear that they expect something. If you’re in the area and want to grab a bite, it’s fine, but don’t come with high expectations.

This is the Best Philly Cheesesteak in Philadelphia rather the east coast and its Halal. The restaurant is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood. The restaurant is super clean and very well organized. The owner took our order and was very kind to give us best advice based on our preferences. We tried the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich and it was wonderful. The size is so big that two people shared easily. The fries and onion rings are also really big and one order is enough for three people to share. They take your name when you place an order and once it’s ready they announce it on the speaker for pick up. However the lady brought the food tray to our desk. Another serving cling lady brought us napkins, plastic cutlery, and cups to our table as well. The food was absolutely amazing. The restaurant prefers payments by cash as they have additional 4% charges on card payments. The staff is also very nice. Although predominantly it’s a meat based restaurant there are some vegetarian options available as well. Free street parking is available in the area, a little tough to find during evenings though. The restaurant is fully wheelchair accessible. They also have separate restrooms for men and women at their premises. Highly Recommend this restaurant

Saad’s Halal is the best halal food in Philly. I’ve tried a lot of halal cheesesteaks around the city, and nothing comes close to Saad’s. The meat is perfectly seasoned, the bread is always fresh, and the cheesesteak is packed with flavor in every bite. The service is always quick and friendly, even when they’re busy. Every time I’m in Philly, this is my go-to stop. If you’re looking for the best halal cheesesteak in the city, this is definitely it.

It was my first time here! The cheesesteak was delicious. However, the servers were rude and didn’t inform us that we had to go to a line to order. We felt rushed, and I found a bug on a fork. We felt like a nuisance and a pest. I’ll return to taste the chicken maroosh.

Just tried a Philly cheesesteak here for the first time and it did not disappoint! The food was incredibly fresh. You can tell they use quality ingredients. On top of that, the staff were super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of those spots that makes you want to come back again soon!

The pictures of the food don’t do it justice. Everything about this place is amazing. Super cozy and yummy neighborhood spot with a good selection of beers, including from small local breweries.

Great beers, great food and great service. Lovely selection of local beers on tap with a wider selection of cans and bottles. Great food menu. The burger and truffle fries and the Cheese Sandwich with Ham were both a hit. Staff excellent and didn't rush you. A great first meal on our 2 week US trip from the UK. 👍

The bartender Lori is the sweetest & most professional bartender I’ve had in a while in addition to them having a pretty fulfilling happy hour menu!! All the way from Texas, I appreciate the hospitality! 🤪

Sometimes you can find extraordinary food experiences right in your own backyard. The other night inclement weather interrupted our plans. We decided to find someplace close to home. Oh what a find. The food was delicious! I had only modest expectations of my fish sandwich. It was wonderful. My husband's summer salad was also so good. And the highlight of an already great evening was a fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich! The service was gracious and informed. My husband even discovered a new favorite beer. Thank you for a great and unexpected evening!

Their website won't allow me to order take out food. They refused to take orders over the phone. Not sure why it's such an inconvenience to press a few buttons on the screen to order a burger and some wings. Mind you, I've ordered over the phone here 10+ times but now it can't be done for whatever weird made up reason. Such a shame because I loved this spot but I'll never eat here again.

I'm not a big fan of Peanut Butter and Jelly, but their Fried Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich is outstanding. I visited a couple donut shops in Philly, but the fried pb & j here left the biggest impression on me. The IPA from local brewery (Second District Brewing) was aromatic and great. The staff was nice. Great place to enjoy summer coming.

Absolutely thrilled with my recent visit to South Philadelphia Tap Room! The highlight of my meal was, without a doubt, their Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The soup was a perfect blend of tangy and creamy, with just the right amount of seasoning to elevate the fresh tomato flavor. Paired with a golden, crispy Grilled Cheese that was oozing with melty cheese goodness, it was comfort food at its finest. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff only added to the exceptional dining experience. A must-visit spot for anyone craving a classic with a gourmet twist!

Just a heads up this isn’t a dine-in spot. You walk in, order, and leave. It took about 25 minutes to get my food, so I highly recommend calling ahead. I ordered the sesame chicken and the salt and pepper chicken. Let me tell you the salt and pepper chicken was seasoned to perfection! If you know, you know… Black folks love some good, well-seasoned food, and this one hit the spot. Highly recommend! Now for the sesame chicken… womp womp. The sauce was super watery, bland, and the chicken was big and mushy. Honestly, I’m not even sure what I was eating. Would I go back? Probably...but only for that salt and pepper chicken. 😂

I grew up going to David's and was bummed when they didn't reopen the dining room after the pandemic. The last couple times I went and got takeout and it just wasn't the same - I used to get takeout sometimes too but the quality isn't what it used to be either. Such a shame.

I been coming to china town since I was a little kid and remember eating at David’s restaurant. So I decided to go out my way to get something for dinner tonight. They are no longer seating people at the restaurant for dinner which was disappointing. ( only take out) I ordered a general toast chicken which seemed like unflavored battered chicken soup. The fried rice mediocre at best. The wonton soup was gross and the salt and pepper shrimp was disappointing as well. I spent $44 which went right in the trash. I wouldn’t recommend to waste your money eating here. Absolutely garbage!!!

First time been back here for years. They only have take out now . They don’t answer phone so I have to wait in line to order. After 10 min waiting they told me 20 min it will be done. ended up been 35 min. No order of who goes first or when they will let u know u food is ready. So u have to wait in line to check again . Only one small door and window. People will cut in front to order . First time I see any restaurant so cheap they packed beef ho fun in a paper box. It taste ok only because it’s drenched in oil . The dumplings was cold looked like it was frozen then deep fried again . The pick up process is just horrendous. U have to wait in line for ever time u check if your food is ready . They should have another window!!

Worst $25 Ive ever spent. I ordered from here out of fond memories. I asked for Sesame Bean Curd with extra broc and veg fried rice. Little bit pricey, but okay... Before I even looked at the food, I arrived home, grabbed the bag off my passenger seat and found a half quart of brown sauce had leaked from poor packaging into, not on, but into the entire seat, Wonderful. When I looked at my order I found mushy General Sao Tofu, not crispy bean curd. Then I realized it was just brown sauce and maybe 2 extra pieces of broc (paid for extra). I havent been able to bring myself to open the fried rice. I would rather throw it at the wall. Every bite of this was a reminder that life is hell and we all die unsatisfied. This place DOES NOT CARE. HARD PASS FOREVER.

Called in for carry out twice, moo shu beef is as good as I’ve had, chicken fried rice is average. Egg rolls are good. Lots more to try. I will be calling in an order again.

Shout out to the woman taking orders at the window Saturday Night who recommended the Salt and Pepper tofu. 10/10 meal and overall experience. Definitely a fun late night takeout spot.

This place feels truly just like back home —the seating area gave me authentic Palestinian vibes. I ordered the falafel sandwich and it was honestly the best falafel I’ve had in Philly! The fries were also a nice different—not your usual restaurant , they came with fried onions mixed in, which added a really cool mix. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to

We came here hungry and were delighted by the platter we ordered - the Mediterranean combo. There’s a pretty sunroom in the back that we got to take advantage of. I’m also glad we ordered the baklava - it was so good, I ordered more to take home. I’ll be back next time I’m in town!

I love many middle eastern and mediterranean restaurants in philly, but alyans is what I have been looking for for years. I ordered the middle eastern platter, falafel platter, chicken shawarma sandwich, and fries and couldn't be happier with the quality and value of everything I ordered. The eggplant in the combo was heavenly, and the falafel was as good as I've ever had. The staff could not have been kinder or more generous. I can't wait to try more on the menu and with food of this quality and at these prices it won't be long before I do.

Food was good! But when I pay $22 for a bbq platter I’m assuming there will be more than 3 pieces of meat.. the portions are really small compared to the price.. it’s not pricey per say, just not enough

Hummus with pita bread is a must have! Mint iced tea is refreshing and non sweet😍 Lamb kebab is so well cooked. Everything is delicious!

We came here for lunch and enjoyed our meal. We sat in the back garden room with great natural lighting, which was a very cute area. We ordered the eggplant salad, mixed grill platter, lamb kebab platter, and baklava. Everything was good, and the service was quick. Overall, we had a positive experience.

I was very excited to visit this place. Regarding the food to be honest I expect it to be great since the reviews are high. However it was an average experience. Food: The mix grill didn’t taste fresh and the meat wasn’t fully cooked. Small portion of rice tasted average. The fries as well were oily and little. Service: The service was good, however it took about 20 min for our order to arrive. Great atmosphere in this place and it was decent clean.

HORRIBLE!! The place is nice & I think the employees are nice, but they were talking in different languages & I was getting a vibe that they were talking about us. The food was sooooooo bad & expensive! I got shrimp fried rice, sweet & sour shrimp & fried scallops & shrimp. The shrimp fried rice had so much egg & onion in it. The sweet & sour shrimp was so big & mushy. The sauce was good though. The salted scallops & shrimp wasn’t seasoned. Was mushy & didn’t come with the chili sauce that they advertised. The drinks are can soda, no refills. I also think they charged me $10 extra dollars for no reason. The whole place was definitely sketchy. I won’t be going back.

We had a great experience for dinner at Tai Lake. The place was full of people who ordered fresh shrimp, eel, fish, and crab for dinner. We opted for the seafood casserole and a beef with mixed vegatable dish. Both were fantastic. The casserole was full of seafood. The beef with mixed vegatables included tender slices of succulent beef. Mmm Mmm Good! Go where the locals go. Go to Tay Lake.

Good food, very nice customer service. Have all kind of special food for parties. Waiter and waitress are so friendly and checking to clean our table and exchange new dishes. I planned to eat at the New York Chinatown but it was early to have lunch there, so on the way home, we stopped by Phila Chinatown. Will come back again with friends and families whenever we go to NYC or visit Ocean City. Tram 😀🍜🍛🍲🧆

Came to this place for a dinner, I ordered sweet pork, and indeed, it was sweet a little bit too much for myself. The place looks old but clean, it has an atmosphere of an old china restaurant, the service isn't the best, the waitress barely speak English so it was difficult to ask for advice or about the food, however the portions are good and the close late, so for me isn't the best option, but if is late it might be your best option. Prices are average, so around 20us per person. Also you need yo take into consideration that there is no free parking available.

This place was packed with people and that means it's good, and it was. We had a small wait for a table. Food was rolling out to tables left and right. Quick service once you ordered. Very good food. I would come back when I'm back in Philly. No nonsense service but the food is good. Huge menu.

Seafood restaurant in Chinatown. Steamed oysters with scallions - As others have said, huge. Like big as your hand. They were ok. Not as good as having raw oysters. Fried Rice with salted fish - Ok. Nice smokey flavor. I wish there was more of the fish though. Sauteed clams with mince pork and hot chili - Good! Pan fried noodles with seafood - Very simple and straightforward dish. Stir fried pea leaves - Delicious. Favorite item we had. Food was fine. If I came back I'd definitely go for some of their very unique specialty items though. Very good service.

Food wise there are no concerns. But the main reason for my 3 star rating is: 1. Waiters are not friendly 2. Always standing by the side of our table and watching us made very uncomfortable 3. Even though they were watching us the whole time, no help offered while we were struggling with our lobster dish. 4. They were very keen on tip and forcing us to leave 15% of tip.. I am not a kid and i know the tipping etiquette..but pls correct your mistakes and provide comfortable service if you want better tips... Dishes we had: ginger and scallion lobster, shrimp dumpling and shrimp fried rice. Everything was OK and tasted fresh and clean

I love a good diner. Went here and had the French dip, my husband had the reueben. It was delicious, pretty affordable and our server John was great.

I ha e not been here in 25 years, and it's still a great breakfast spot. Seen the best come and go. But Broad Street still stands proud to make the best diner food on Broad. My food was on point, and it was still prepared the same way from 25 years ago. With the love of Broad Street.

The food here is pretty good. I've had several dishes from breakfast to dinner and they have all been tasty. The staff is super friendly and very accommodating. The only thing that kind of annoyed me was placing my order through Uber Eats. The app doesn't have everything the diner actually has. I found that there were times I had to call there to ask for certain and specific items. I continue to go there weekly.

Large diner with a small parking lot and plenty of seating, good for groups. Has a very old school vibe/traditional diner feel. I ordered an egg sausage sandwich with home fries and a French toast with strawberries and blueberries. Both tasted fine but were nothing special. The French toast does not come with real maple syrup. Service was also fine.

Myself and a friend visit the Broad Street dinner once in a while when in Philly. Parking is a little tricky because the lot isn't that big and a little tight, but with this being said everytime i go there i always found a spot. The dinner is a nice size place with a friendly staff. I have never had to wait to be seated. The menu offers a nice selection of breakfast, lunch and diner. Everything on the menu is priced reasonably. Positively a place to check out when in Philly. These dinners are becoming less and less in South Philly. Developers are buying these properties and making high priced apartments out of them. In my opinion there are to many over priced high rises in Philly which takes away from the uniqueness of South Philly. Check out this dinner!!!

Fast service and great food, server was very attentive and friendly.

The food was good, and the service was good. Generous portions and the prices are reasonable.

Very nice place and great, friendly staff. Short wait times and very budget friendly. They are open till 3am so always a good option for a late night snack. I treid the tawa chicken roll and it was good. Food is a little spicy though so be sure to get some lassi to complelement it!

I ordered VEGETERIAN paneer marsala kati and received this MEAT kati that was incorrectly labeled as my vegetarian order (PM). Also, the samosas were some of the worst I've ever had (dry and overcooked). Never again!

Masala kitchen has many franchises in Philly. The walnut street one has good variety too and is open till late night. One recommendation is do not go there on Sat after 1 am since its just opposite the clubs and the crowd would not be good enough to go with the family. Which doesn't make the reviews go down as its just about the club. Sitting area is not fancy but good to go. Recommendation for vegetarian go for paneer one

Popped in to try a quick roll. Never had a kati roll. Ordered the chicken tawa and it was ready very quickly and nicely packaged. It was extremely tasty and filling. The price was just right. The hot sauce they served in the pump was outstanding. The atmosphere was nothing special but the music was good. The service was extremely pleasant and friendly. I would stop back to try something else.

Loved Masala Kitchen's kati rolls. Got a few paneer kathi rolls and a potato roll and they were very flavorful and delicious and made very well. Also had the mango lassi which was great. Cozy spot for a quick meal. Would highly recommend!!

This is a must try if you like indian food or like to try new things. The food is amazing and you need to try the homemade drinks, they are to die for. It also has a great vibe, small but cozy. I loved the self service kiosk, I wish more restaurants implement this. Prices are incredible, and I was surprised to see all dishes under $15 with all the inflation in the past few years. Highly recommend it!

I post this review after ordering multiple times since I want to be absolutely sure before I rank a place 5 stars. This branch of Masala Kitchen is THE BEST! Best quality of food, service and a very clean atmosphere. Highly recommend you order the Paneer Masala, Chicken Masala and the chicken Biryani. They aren’t stingy on the masala. So goooodddd!!!

Our to go place for any time that we want to treat ourselves. Great sandwiches, amazing cocktails and beer, wonderful atmosphere. Perfect place for small gatherings

Great food and serving sizes! We enjoyed everything we ordered and will definitely be back!

American Sardine Bar…is just a bar in Point Breeze. The best things about this place is it looks cool from the street and has an attention grabbing name. I’m sorry, I don’t know how else to say it…ASB is in need of a BAR RESCUE! It’s dark inside and smells funny, like a toilet tart. I have yet to see anything on the menu to justify the price and to be perfectly honest after sitting upstairs and observing their food service in action will probably never order food there again. The sad part is there’s potential. The name alone grabbed my attention. I’d walk the neighborhood thinking “Hmmmmm, sardine bar🤔….sounds different, you’ve got my attention.” Being excited to go after a long day at work was anticlimactic, ESPECIALLY when I look at the menu and decide to walk home and eat leftovers. This is only my opinion…..which is exactly what my friends told me when I asked them about going. If you want a drink. Great! Also great if you like basic food that cost too much. I don’t mind paying for good food and service (like Insatiable down the street) but when you’re not providing an experience to justify your pricing…..well🤷🏾‍♂️

This is such a cozy spot with great food and vibes! The wings, sauces and fries were so good! Tasty and reasonable portions for the prices. The cocktails were also good and paired well with the food. My friends went on a Wednesday evening and it was comfortable with the warm dim lights and a pleasant crowd (not to noisy or anything). The customer service was fantastic as we were seated quickly and didn't wait long for our food. Erin was our waitress and she was so sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable, especially with helping my friend navigate the menu with his dietary restrictions. Overall, this feels like your local cozy neighborhood bar and I'd definitely come back! The only thing I can't speak to is sardines which is their special (I don't eat seafood haha) but that's probably good too!

Last night I went for the first time! I got a great seat at the end of the bar where I could watch the rest of the restaurant. Very cool and relaxed atmosphere and a lot of people so clearly popular. Felt adventurous and tried the tin fish board and it was very good!!! So much better than I was expecting tin fish to taste, and some great fresh bread and sides that elevated the whole board. Delicious crisp wine and beer paired well!

Loved this spot and would highly recommend. The waitress was extremely kind and the food was reasonably priced and very good. Great spot and would highly recommend the olives and almonds as an app and the key lime tart as a dessert. The sardines and homemade chips were also very good!

Amazing place for sure! I love everything on the menu. I’ve gone here anytime a friend needs to be cheered up. Good system and nice customer service. Easy walk and sit down outside. Very safe system, heaters and beach seating. Cute backyard and lovely ambiance with the outdoor lights.

I felt it was somewhat pricey, I paid $17.60 for three small empanadas. They were very nice, but I am not sure if they were worth the price. The place is very cute and welcoming, service very personable.

The ambience is perfect and the chicken empanada I had was spectacular. Honestly one of the best danishes I’ve had in Philly. 10/10

Hidden gem! The empanadas are phenomenal!! So flavorful and delicious. The baked goods too. Came here w friends on 2 different Saturday afternoons recently. Both times I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with THE Jezabel of Jezabel’s and immediately understood why this place is so good. She is full of passion for her craft and really enjoys cooking and baking for guests to enjoy her food. There is a lot of love in these empanadas ! Hibiscus lemonade is delicious as are the croissants. This is a great spot for a takeout treat, to sit and enjoy a coffee and a sweet, to dine in, or even have large parties or meetings. The space is so unique and includes indoor and outdoor seating. I would highly recommend Jezabel’s and can’t wait to go back again !

Jezabel’s is absolutely amazing. Jezabel makes creative dishes that you can’t get anywhere else in the city. The service is great and Jezabel herself comes around to greet the guests and engage. I highly recommend!!!

Friendly, cool, beautiful, tasty! The coffee had cherry notes, and the chocolate alfajor de chocolate was pretty and good. I like the open kitchen near some of the dining room seats. Went May 6 '25

So I went to Jezabel's on a perfectly crisp morning, looking to get some empanadas and maybe some other baked goods. I went in there, and it had a high-end but comfortable atmosphere. There is the cafe side of the restau (restaurant for short) and a dining side of the restau. The woman up front was very welcoming and hospitable, answering all of my questions about the baked goods and the cooking classes that they host. I chose the lenteja (lentil) empanada and the Pollo (chicken empanada). In tasting both of the empanadas, I was a bit disappointed. The spicy chicken empanada wasn't really spicy, nor was it flavorful. Same for the lentil empanada. I was a little bit surprised by the lack of flavor. The meat was cooked correctly; however, for me, the chicken had a texture I wasn't used to. It was slightly rubbery, but it was still average in its taste. The very hospitable waitresses brought me a chimichurri sauce to accompany the empanadas; unfortunately, this sauce just tasted like oil. Nothing to have a foodgasm over, sadly. Now, I have only tried the empanadas. I am sure they might have some flavorful meals, or sabroso, as I like my meals, but what I had, left me wanting more... of something else. I'd say, if you are looking for mild and high-end, this would be your space. The ambience was fine, and welcoming. The waitress does her job very well. I didn't try the sweets, even though they were so tempting and looked very good.

We celebrated my sister’s baby shower at Jezabel’s and it was perfect! The empanadas are sooo tasty and the venue was perfect for events. Thank you so much to the team!

Everyone should go here! Everything on the menu is so so good and the service/staff is so amazing. Drinks are fantastic as well. They have outdoor seating in the front and the back and often host cool events. 5 stars is well deserved.

This is a properly hyped restaurant! The atmosphere is fun, but relaxed. The menu is curated and intentional. The service was attentive, not rushed. Every bite of food was delicious - not one bad bite. I was blown away. I went with a pescatarian friend, so I did not eat a meat dish. We ordered the wonton chips and three dips (red salsa, salsa verde and duck sauce) the chips were crispy and salty, and the dips were so well done. We ordered the tuna tostada which was a great mix of texture and flavor. The macha crisp had great spice and the tuna was delicious. We ordered the fish tacos and the avocado tacos - both different and delicious. The orders had three tacle each of small corn tortillas, the fish was lightly spicy, and the avocado was fried but refreshingly light. For drink I had their take on a dirty martini which was an elevated and interesting experience for a simple cocktail. Finally we ended with 3 church's and chocolate sauce, the churros were light and airy on the inside, crispy and sugar coated on the outside and the chocolate sauce was great quality. Altogether our meal was $55 per person and the portions were filling. I was pleasantly surprised by the restaurant meeting it's very highly hyped expectation. I'll go again and you should feel compelled to try it out!

My partner had a birthday brunch at La Chinesca in the summer. We had a party of eight and brought our own dessert (lemon tiramisu). I ordered the salt and pepper squid caesar salad based on a recommendation from a friend. The salad was fantastic and big enough to share between two people! Also pictured is the churro french toast and the burrito mojado. The plated the tiramisu really well too. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the place, and I’m looking forward to my next visit!

I was slightly disappointed by the food, but the vibes and the drinks were SO good that I would still come back. The calamari salad was really nice textures but a little bland in taste. The short ribs were pretty dry but well sauces the carne asada was dry and the queso was burnt. The elote corn was good but the texture of the small corn was weird. The jarritos drink and mezcal signature drink were SO good and the space itself was so fun, airy, full of character.

La Chinesca is trying to bring Mexican and Chinese fusion together. They say their food is based in Mexicali, which is a city in northern Mexico with the biggest Chinese immigrant population! We got Tijuana street dog as appetizer, and let me tell you, this is a must get! The sausage was juicy in a mixture of chilis and cilantros, almost similar to the toppings of banh mi. For the two mains, we got grilled duck quesadillas which mimic Peking duck with its oyster sauce and salsa macha. I think, personally, the duck didn’t stand out and was shadowed by the sauce. The char siu tacos were a bit dry and would benefit from a salsa. On the good note, the customer service was great. They offered my puppy some water while we sat outside in the patio. I’d go back again and try other things for sure.

Absolutely mind blowing place. The ambiance and food were top notch. Ordered a handful of things and they were all good. The margaritas were also very good.

Wow! Came here for the first time and loved it- one of the best margs I have had in a while. I got the avacado taco which was phenomenal!!!! My boyfriend enjoyed the Burria taco and carnitas taco. We also loved the fried wonton chips. Everything was so good and we will be back for more. As for the atmosphere, there is a front patio as well as back patio. It was nice and shaded in the back with turf grass and comfy cushioned benches and chairs. Plenty of space back there. The service was great and the chef even gave us a complimentary taco. Will 100% be back!

I need this to be a chain in Jersey because this may be the best breakfast I've ever had. You know the food is yummy if you do a little happy dance after the first bite. You get such a hearty portion for the price and every dish is made so fresh with the best ingredients. The honey cinnamon latte iced was pure perfection...protip, add a splash of vanilla to it to make it all the better! And those fluffy eggs...chef's kiss! It was surprisingly packed for a Thursday morning, but not so much that we couldn't find a seat. It's a cool vibe with yummy food that you don't want to miss if you're in Philly.

Found this place on Eater and was super pumped to try it. In a cool area and super cool spot with green tile and interesting decor. Menu is vast and a full coffee bar. Our coffee was really good and came out quickly. Crunchy ice was nice. Sandwiches were good but not amazing, some weird flavors and too wet for our liking. Regardless, it was a cool place.

Good food, great drinks, and an even better vibe! We went with a big group, and the staff was super accommodating. I wasn’t too hungry that night, so I just ordered the Broiled Wellfleet Oysters and the Latkes with added trout roe (love that you can order by the piece, perfect for a light bite). Others at the table said their sandwiches were excellent too.

This place was the bomb and lives up to the hype. We’ve been following for years and finally got to stop on a drive from DC to MA. Waited in line for 40 minutes and it was worth it. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the sandwiches were amazing. We got the Pastrami Egg and Cheese, the Pancake, the Shopsin, and our son got the grilled cheese. Everything was 10/10. We hope we’ll get to come back!

Without a doubt, this was one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. Everything we tried was outstanding, and it’s hard to even pick a favorite. We arrived close to 10 a.m.—the line wasn’t too long, but we still waited about 15–20 minutes to get inside, place our order, and find a table. The staff outside were very friendly and handed us menus so we could decide ahead of time. We ordered the Egg & Pastrami Sandwich, the Breakfast Burrito with Pastrami, Olivia’s Pancake, and the Latke Hash Browns. Every dish was absolutely delicious. The Egg & Pastrami Sandwich is a must-try, while the burrito was on another level—the addition of hash browns inside gave it a crunchy, flavorful twist. The hash browns on the side were also great, and my son especially loved them. Olivia’s Pancake was the perfect way to end the meal, even though we couldn’t quite finish it. We also had the house coffee, which paired nicely with everything. Service was quick, the staff were genuinely friendly, and the food was simply fantastic. We can’t wait to come back!

I can’t say enough great things about my experience here! Nick was awesome, a great down to earth and kind guy. Fasean (apologies if I spelt her name wrong) was an awesome server and always made sure I was happy and had everything I needed. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a spot with good vibes all around l. Will say get there earlier than planes as there was a line! Food was awesome just like the service. Ingredients were fresh and felt like everything was made from scratch and with care! I will definitely be coming back!

An excellent brunch spot with classic done exceptionally well. The staff is friendly and it’s a very hip spot that’s trending with a you get crowd. I’d happily go back. The burrito was solid, but the latkas were the star.

Have you ever taken a bite out of a juicy chicken thigh only to greet your pallet with an outpouring of blood? No? Well I wish I could say the same. Unfortunately, today I received an undercooked chicken thigh from this establishment and I really don’t understand how that could have happened. Are we not using meat thermometers anymore? At home I can understand, but in an actual restaurant there is no way that it was cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit and then boxed up to serve to the public. I am appalled and will never order from here again. This is unacceptable. As a pregnant woman I would prefer to not get salmonella. Never. Again. I have consumed the portion of what I hit and now am Really sick and not having fetal movement. A law suit will issued if this is not eradicated.

I didn't realize they were Togo only when I got here otherwise I would've ordered online. As such I ordered at the window and had to wait. There is no seating so definitely save yourself the time and hassle and order ahead. I got the spicy chicken sandwich this go as I was walking to my next destination. The sandwich was big, crispy, spicy and perfectly tender. I had a hard time not burning my mouth trying to eat it faster than I should've. While good, this wasn't really what wanted to order. But given the no dine in option and not wanting to lug around a box of chicken and sides all over fishtown I had to *settle for the sandwich. Support black owned businesses.

First time trying this place. Picked up my order around 9pm. Food smelled amazing on the way home but food didn't match the smell. The Chicken sandwich bread was stale, so i tried the chicken alone and that was good. The Chicken tenders tasted like it was fried in burnt old oil. I think I came on a off night, based on the reviews I will try again but at a earlier time.

Ordered takeout from Love & Honey Fried Chicken for the first time, I’ve heard great things about their chicken. I ended up getting a kids meal, which was truly a great deal. 4 chicken tenders, tots and a side sauce for under $10. The chicken was flavored well, I wish they were crispier though. The tots stole the crispy show, they were great! I also loved the ranch. I got an oreo cookie for dessert, I’m not sure if they sent the wrong one but I didn’t taste any oreo flavor. It also seemed a little overcooked, I wasn’t a fan. I would consider coming back to try a chicken sandwich in the future!

Amazing service, Chicken tenders so flavorful, love the fact I can watch my tenders being fried through the windowwwww! Oh the Nashville tots and the sauce….. phenomenal

I've eaten at Love & Honey Fried Chicken twice and my experience was identical both visits. I've come to this conclusion: L&HFC is the most crunchy and deliciously FLAVORLESS chicken I've ever had. It's quite perplexing but it's honest. I likely won't revisit but the establishment itself is very nice!

The best delivery fried chicken in Philly, hands down! Crispy, crunchy, and tasty -- they brine their chicken well and fry it with perfection! Some stellar chicken sandwiches and some memorable tots! Don't get me started on The Biscuit Jawn -- a savory sandwich that is a must-try!

Portions were big. Prices were fair. Flavors were exceptional. Atmosphere was low key. No sign, no indoor seating, just a friendly nonchalant dude behind the counter, another manning the meats, and another cleaning the floor. The vibe made me feel like we were all in on a tasty secret and we dare not acknowledge it other than with a head nod. Service was quick. 15min from order to yum. We went for lunch on Saturday and brunch on Sunday. The service, atmosphere and flavor were consistent.

We went to this restaurant around 130am on Saturday we ordered tacos and a quesadilla. Staff was nice and didn't take long for them to make our food fresh. There was seating next door but we opted to eat in our car. It was cash only and less than $40 for the 3 meals.

The food was outstanding and very fresh. Don’t let the small establishment fool you. A must try if you’re in the 9th street area.

Genuinely the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. The establishment is hidden between other shops and a tad hard to find, but the food is authentic, fresh, and heavenly; the staff are kind and talented too. Beware, it is cash-only but there’s an ATM with a very minimal ($2) charge :) You won’t ever need/want to go to another place for this type of food, I promise.

I didn't eat here. I planned to get takeout. But when I got there the prices were about 40% higher, at least, as the prices on this Google maps menu. It also specified cash only. I was excited about late night affordable Mexican cuisine. I can't speak to the quality of their food, as I decided to go elsewhere.

Fantastic tacos! Very flavorful and big portions. Will definitely come back for more. The neighborhood made me feel a bit uneasy, should’ve gone during the day.

Super delicious tacos! The ratio between the protein and tortilla is perfect. Good value!! Their al-pastor tacos are pretty good. They put some pineapple chucks to add some sweetness to their taco. The barbacoa tacos are flavorful and good balanced of meat and fats. And it is super juicy!! Highly recommended!! The best part.. they open late!
