Nam Chon

Sweetest owner, so tentative to his customers and the rest of the staff is amazing. The food is SO good - I had soft tofu and pork jigae and it was just what I needed after several flight delays and cancellations to not lose it. the place is really clean

What a cute spot! Don't be discouraged by a simplistic design and short menu. It is so good and authentic! Honestly, my favorite kind of place. Simple, no hype, tasty, and authentic! I had chicken bibimbap and my husband had Korean spicy boneless chicken. Both are amazing! Very good portions. They also offer a small appetizer beforehand (courtesy of the restaurant) and a slice of watermelon afterwards. The watermelon was so tasty, it was one of those "what the h#ll" moments.

The best Korean food I've had in Philly. It's authentic and tastes home cooked, not like typical Korean-American places.

One of the best Korean spots in Philly!!We ordered the beef dolsot, two different kimchi jjigae , cheese tteokbokki, beef mandu, and seafood pancakesWe loved everything except for the seafood pancake, which wasn't crisp enough.Everything else was perfection! Highly recommend and will be back!!

NamChon has some items that other Korean restaurants in the city don't have so I was very excited to try them out. The restaurant is very nice and clean, and quite spacious as well. My friend and I enjoyed most of the food but we both think that the Fire chicken and Tteokbokki need more flavor, they were a bit bland and not spicy at all. The highlight was definitely the soup, it was hot, flavorful and ton of seafood. Overall a solid 7/10!

I came to Nam Chon with my friends when we visited Philly, and the experience was amazing! Sam, our waiter, was very sweet and accommodating. The restaurant is BYOB and he provided us wine and soju glasses for our drinks. The service was top tier and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the restaurant.For food we ordered the Brisket Tteokbokki, Kimchi Jjigae, Korean Fried Chicken, and Tofu and Spicy Pork Stir-Fry. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, my favorite being the Kimchi Jjigae- it was the perfect amount of spicy for me (not too spicy) and the pork belly and tofu went well with the soup. If you plan on ordering Brisket Tteokbokki and are not good with spicy, I would recommend telling the waiter to make it not too spicy. My friends who have been here before mentioned it can be really spicy without a note. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here! I loved all the dishes we ordered and would definitely come here again. If you are ever in the area and are craving delicious Korean food, I would highly recommend checking out Nam Chon.

Great spot to stop in for lunch. The owners are so sweet and adorable! I love that the restaurant itself was very clean and spacious. As for the food, it comes out fresh and made to order. If you're looking for a decently priced delicious meal. I'd put Nam Chon on your list.

Me and my friend have had this new (ish) Korean place on our list of places to go to for a while now and we decided to stop in on June 22nd to try it out. This place gave us an authentic taste of Korea, it felt like we were transported into a local Seoul restaurant. The staff working here were extremely nice and took our orders really quickly and the food came out within 15 minutes or so. We ordered soy Korean Boneless Chicken (Soonsal Chicken) , beef Mandu and Pork Kimchi Jjige With White Rice (side). The food was very authentic and had great flavors. If you want a place that has authentic Korean food with great service I highly recommend. I can't say enough about how sweet the staff were. They gave us free watermelon at the end, my friend was coughing and they came to check on us to make sure she was okay and if it was too spicy (it was the perfect amount of spice!) and when my friend was fanning herself they turned the AC up without us asking. Great place!

Wow. This place is amazing. I had the bulgogi bibibap in a hot stone. The portion was huge. Everything was cooked perfectly including the egg. The folks serving were very sweet. I'm sad to see it not busier on a Saturday night. My only regret is not being able to take the rest with me as I don't have a way to keep it.

So glad I discovered this place! The veggie options are abundant. I had the mushroom bibimbap to start and am excited to try other options. Nice workers and nice casual atmosphere. I will be back.
