Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Philadelphia

Talia G. • November 15, 2011Stuffed challah french toast is unbelievable. Prepare for a food coma, but it is so worth it.

Jeff D. • April 24, 2011I ate here in 1989 and loved the fresh, innovative cuisine in a quirky, warm tavern. 22 years later, I returned and fell back in love with the cuisine, incredible service and the best Brussel spouts.

Samuel G. • January 4, 2020One of the finest restaurants in Philadelphia. Service and food are impeccable!!

Joel G. • January 3, 2015Killer flavors like Vietnamese Ice Coffee, Lemon Shortbread, Chocolate with Salted Caramel Brownie, and Lime Mint.

Dan T. • September 15, 2015Strawberry shortcake is the way to go.

Bre B. • November 9, 2015AMAZING food and extremely large servings. Try the soups whenever you get a chance! Place is too small to dine in. Great for a grab and go option.

Andrew F. • January 23, 2022Best coffee roaster in the city of Philadelphia. The interior is also beautiful.

Alexis T. • June 26, 2014Get 10+ friends together and go in for their All-You-Can-Eat deal for $15 per person. It comes with so many meats, sides & drinks so you can try it all! Best deal by far, AND for amazing food at that

Philadelphia Magazine • January 6, 2015The secret to Han Dynasty’s success in Old City has always been Chiang’s canny blend of full-bore spicing (true Sichuan style) and ingredients that (perhaps less authentically) are entirely familiar

Gabrielle • September 17, 2022Tasty dumplings! Get the spicy wonton dumplings; soup dumplings are ok and spicy ones are better (not actually spicy!)

Maddie L. • January 3, 2019Like every other Panera Bread you'll ever find. Very clean location and pretty spacious. Not too busy even on Sunday during the mid-morning.

Brendan R. • August 7, 2014Go on Sunday for the best Indian buffet you're going to find in Philly. Also, amazing lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala and gulab jamun.

Khai V. • January 15, 2014Excellent bakery. No Jamaican,but Trinidadian......

Jenna L. • October 27, 2016Upscale sushi venue that lives up to its reputation. Go with a group and get to sit in one of the "pods". Large and accommodating menu.

Daniel W. • June 10, 2015Try the shish tawook sandwich. It has chicken and a creamy garlic sauce!

Kethrellan P. • July 4, 2016Shroom burger might be the best veggie burger I've tried! Portions are just right. Outdoor seating available.

Tanvir M. • April 24, 2011Love this place...tons of awesome food for very cheap prices n its open 7 days a week!!

Martu L. • May 25, 2019cheesesteak with double cheese and grilled onions 🤘

Jessica P. • June 7, 2018If you like spice, get the schug falafel sandwich. It’s super flavorful and not overwhelmingly spicy. The seasoned fries are also great, and the banana shake is AWESOME and comes with cookies on top.

Kit R. • August 30, 2015Great diner food, don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu -- generous portions too. Has a good spread of vegetarian options.

Daniel W. • August 7, 2014The vegetable tajin is amazing and complex, and the honey glazed salmon is also very good. Definitely come here for brunch as well - the sweet corn griddle cakes with blueberry compote come with meat!

Ayaka N. • May 3, 2011Kishk manakeesh + Sriracha sauce, pot of mint tea, followed by baklava for dessert. Do it.

Cheapism • March 9, 2011Best cheap Ethopian food in W.Philly, hidden in this split-personality coffee shop/authentically ethnic East African cafe. Try a tangy dorowat stew of spicy, slow-braised chicken in red pepper gravy.

Holden R. • October 3, 2013Jarritos were only $1 here until this week. $1.25 is still pretty unbeatable. Any burrito here is delicious, with whatever meat suits your needs. Standard food truck prices too. Get Jarritos.

Brandon G. • October 4, 2009The belly-filler is the way to go.

Ice Q. • August 17, 2015Best cherry gelato ever

Alexis T. • July 28, 2015Awesome store w/ a great foreign selection; no need to visit Chinatown. As a meat eater this is my ranking for their banh mis: pork w/ pate (!!!)>chargrilled pork>tofu. P.S. Extra jalapeños = $.30 👎

Andrea B. • June 10, 2013Pizza pretzels are wonderful

Jillian R. • June 20, 2013Loved the birthday cake and options to add fresh fruit!
