"Reliable. Good portions. Tasty. Go to place for fast Mexican food! Neighborhood gem! We have ordered from here at least 3 times now and they've been consistent. Definitely worth supporting this business."

"LEGIT.I won't lie, expectations were moderately low when searching the ol' KOP for some late night food. After a day of cars, cars, and more sweet cars - hours of standing up had reduced our desire to venture to Philly for food so much so that physically leaving the hotel room seemed like one of the more formidable challenges we would face in our lifetime.After some heavy Yelping and identification of the closest options, Golden Key won out for its assumed capability to pump out plates of food that we could bring back and inhale with the most minimal of efforts.5 ways you know the Chinese food you are about to eat is legit:-It is in a shopping center that is SET BACK from the rest of the road, significantly so.-It is in a shopping center in which EVERYTHING ELSE is closed for the night, lights off.-It sells sweet tea in the same container one would bring wonton soup home in-The husband and wife team laugh at your awful jokes, ring you up separately, and think that you are overall A+ for being in there.-The presence of an unavoidable, enticing aroma.They hit all the points, so we decided to stay and eat. The food came out in 198 seconds, and it was delicious.Eat here for classic, no-frills Chinese staples. Especially good after long days of standing up, long days of drinking, or long days of drinking while standing up.I recommend: the anything on the menu."

"Needing a break from the typical campus eats, I suggested a business lunch at Pattaya. I really enjoyed the ambiance, proximity to Penn's campus, and the varied menu items at Pattaya. I was a little bummed that there were no lunch specials, and I was super sad that the only beverages they offered were canned or bottled - I was seeking a fresh Thai iced tea! However, the Panang Curry was to die for - I had no issue slurping the entirety of my meal. My colleagues ordered different noodle dishes, and the portions were huge! We shared an order of the Golden Triangles, which were okay - unremarkable, but tofu often is (sorry!!) We were all very happy with our main entrees, and I was the only one who didn't have an entire meal's worth of leftovers...a good value! Service was friendly and quick making for a nice dine-in experience."

"Where to begin?? Even though they were extremely busy, the line moved very quickly. The people working there are very friendly and efficient. They have a big selection to choose from. I decided on the sandwich the firebird. The young lady said it was a new option there. It is made with pork roll, egg and cheese, chipotle mayo and hot sauce. They have many bread or bagels to decide from. You can never go wrong with the everything bagel. I got a few pastry for later on that day. The muffins and Danish are too good to decide which one is better."

"We waited over an hour for our table so we just got drunk at the bar had the best time when our awesome chef hit the grill."

"Miss Saigon was a nice change of scene. At Miss Saigon, you still get your classic dishes but served in a lounge type setting. The cocktails here are AMAZING, by the way. Our party of 3 shared a bunch of finger food type dishes, including the Bánh Xèo Taco, Skinni Mini Bánh Mì, the Thit Kho, and the Combo Lettuce Wrap Platter for 2.Even though this might not look like a lot of food, the three of us were sufficiently full. Everything was delicious as expected, but nothing really blew us away. I have to say the Thit Kho was everybody's favorite dish of the night. A lovely, braised pork belly and pork ribs dish that was packed with so much flavor. The Combo Lettuce Wrap Platter for 2 came with 4 Bánh Khọt, 2 spring rolls, and 2 skewers, and was such a great bang for your buck for the variety and portions we got. The cocktails were super fun, and some even incorporated Vietnamese ingredients, like nothing I've seen before. The cocktails were incredibly well executed and tasty. I would love to have 3-5 of them, but then I would need to be wheeled out of the restaurant. I highly recommend the Miss Saigon cocktail if you like fruity cocktails. Psst, that's the one where they plant a big bubble on your drink, and then smoke flows out when the bubble bursts. Needless to say, we will be back!"

"This was our first time. We've lived in the neighborhood for 6 years. We got the pierogi, Korean chicken bites, and a burger along with cocktails and beer. Everything was delicious. The bar tender was gracious and gave us great pointers on portion size and drinks. We will be back!"

"I can't recommend this place enough! For a full review check my IG @dr.afia_abroad. My video on this restaurant went viral recently. Uptown needs more good food options, so I'm so happy it's here. I tried many menu options and loved them all. Favorites are the chicken Ceasar salad sandwich (sounds weird but trust me, it's amazing), salmon teriyaki bowl, pizza fries and garlic buffalo wings. Oh and anything with BBQ sauce. The owner here is the son of Dwight's BBQ in Erie (IYKYK)"

"I finally had the chance to check out Chi Cha San Chen over the weekend. As a die-hard Kung Fu Tea boba fan, I have to say Chi Cha San Chen was really, really good. Since I don't like waiting in line, I tried placing an order online but saw that the store was not accepting online orders. It's likely that online ordering is not available on busier days like on weekends. I did see that the store was accepting online orders one Tuesday afternoon and placed an online order then, but on a Monday afternoon, it wasn't. I'm not certain of the times when online ordering opens up, but I would suggest checking if the option is available. If not, you may just need to go to the store and order in person. Anyway, as my husband and I approached the store, we were relieved to see that there was no line forming out the door, so we went in. Inside, I placed an order for a Bubble Milk Tea and a High Mountain Pouchong Tea and requested boba in both drinks; however, the store had run out of boba. The nice staff member at the counter recommended taro balls as a substitute, which I agreed to. After ordering, we joined the group of people waiting for their drinks to be made. We were informed it was gonna take about 15 minutes for us to get our drinks, which we were prepared to wait for. Considering the horror stories we heard from people who waited 45 minutes to an hour last year, 15 minutes was not bad at all.The teas were served in plastic cups held together by a handle made from twine. This twine handle was Chi Cha San Chen's signature. Before picking it up, make sure the handle is properly balanced on both sides of the cup or it will tip. The teas were super flavorful, more so than Kung Fu Tea. The taro balls were tasty and had a nice chewy consistency to it. Though, after a while, I did get bored of them. There were just too many of them. I definitely recommend the taro balls if you like mochi and can't get enough of it. According to the staff member at the counter, the taro balls are only here for a limited time.My husband and I did come back another time to try the boba, which we thought were just ok. But the teas, though, were definitely top-notch."

"Ambiance: 8/10. The inside looks really nice and intimate. They have outside seating in front of the restaurant which is nice. They also have seating in the back/side of the restaurant. It's a bit removed from the main room (need to walk through a tunnel area to get there) buts it's quieter and relaxing.Food: 9/10! The food here was really good! I got the charred broccoli caesar salads as recommended by three waitress. It came out first and it was really nice! Great flavor and charr on the broccoli and it had pieces of fried polenta cubes that elevated the dish! I also had the spaghetti and meatballs! The sauce and pasta were great! Seasoned very nicely and cooked perfectly. The meatballs were good, large and filling. I would prefer them a bit more seasons but mixing a bit of the cheese definitely rounded the flavorPrice: $46 total (including tip). I was very full at the end and took about 1/3 of the meal back to my hotel to eat later. Didn't mind the price at all especially since I got two dishes"

"The Henry James Saloon might not be on any of your regular routes while exploring Manayunk-Roxborough. On the corner of Henry and Jamestown, this little spot has grown quite a bit from my first visit. From a fully renovated bar area to the brand new back yard / outdoor seating, I would recommend finding a way to fit in a visit. Food wise, they have a decent selection of better than average bar food. You can get burgers and sandwiches and several veggie friendly options as well. I love the Hank Jim and the Cordon Blue Burger is pretty amazing too. As for drinks, it is a bar that has you covered. They have a good selection on draft and a few bottles to pick from as well. I haven't tried any mixed drinks or cocktails, but I'm confident the bartenders can handle it.No complains on service. They are a friendly crew and willing to joke around with customers. And the overall appearance of the place is great - especially with all the renovations!"

"This is our go-to for takeout sushi and Chinese food in town. We especially love that they're open on Mondays when a lot of other restaurants are closed. We're always so happy with the order and they can accommodate dietary restrictions as well (like asking for gluten free dishes)."

"There was a time when I never reviewed places based on things like just take-out and delivery experiences. But then Covid-19 came along and change the rules to the point where those were the only things I really could base experiences on.Given that I decided it was high time to give kudos to some of the places that have delivered the best kind of experiences in those pinches and to begin I start off with the absolute best lunch deal in the KOP/Paoli area!There were a couple of times from back in the days of working the office life that Dixie Picnic's lunch boxes had me whistling Dixie over its delicious sandwiches, decadent cupcakes, and bargain prices. But my current place of employment being cool enough to offer free lunches every Friday has helped me realize exactly how damn good they are!For $12.99 Dixie hooks you up with an incredible lunch box deal that lets you savor a delicious sandwich, a side dish like pasta salad, a hearty deviled egg, and their decadent Upcakes which are upside-down cupcakes covered in homemade buttercream icing from top to bottom!Sandwiches include the Thanksgiving which stuffs the entire meal complete with cranberry sauce, the goldrush pimento cheese which sandwiches Virginia baked ham together with a pimento cheese spread, and the Nutty Chicken Salad with pecans and grapes adding the extra flavor!Upcakes come as either buttercream or devil's food cake mostly, but allow you to enjoy ALL THE ICING flavors. Whether you like red velvet, key lime, carrot cake, mocha, or other, you'll find the right decadent treat for you yo close out a satisfying lunch with!"

"Champ's diner is undefeated in the breakfast/brunch game. I love the red velvet pancakes. There are four red delicious pancakes stacked on top of each other and topped with whipped cream and berries. Nice crunch of the chocolate provided a nice contrast to the fluffiness of the pancakes Next up, chicken and waffles. The chicken is battered and fried, it comes with a nice sweet sauce to offset the savory ness of the fried chicken. The waffles can be topped with sweet syrup and savory melty butter. The perfect sweet and savory start to my day. The servers here are super nice and seem excited to be at work. A rarity. The wait can be a bit long on Friday and weekend mornings but it is always worth the wait"

"Beautiful outdoor area with heat lamps and spacious interior. Happy hour food is only at the bar while you can get happy hour drinks at the table. They do half off the cocktail of the week for happy hour which is a steal! Great place for a night out."

"How cute is this sashimi meal? There's a tree on the plate!!! So pretty AND more importantly so delicious!!! It came with a soup and a salad and it was quite a good meal.Also ordered a seaweed salad, a tuna avocado roll, and a sweet potato roll (my first time eating a sweet potato roll!). All delicious. I've come by this sushi place several times but never popped in til today and I'm glad I did!!"

"Buena Vista offers delicious traditional food in a decorative and fun environment! Our food came quickly and they had a top notch margarita with lots of options. Definitely a local business vibe and located in a family-friendly neighborhood. Portions were large and the staff were friendly! Would definitely recommend for a delicious casual meal and drinks in Philly."

"Chickie's and Pete's in South Philly is a winner! The service is top-notch, and there's plenty of space for your whole crew. It's the go-to spot for pregame or postgame vibes in the area. The seafood is delicious, and let's talk about those crinkle-cut fries - perfectly crispy every time. Shrimp tacos are absolutely delicious with a slight touch of heat from the jalapeños. This place nails it for a good time and tasty eats. Definitely, a must-try!"

"Typical South Philly wooder ice place meaning it's a no frills, no nonsense, cash only, easy to miss spot located on the corner of a tight knit residential neighborhood. The offerings are simple, with classic flavors such as cherry, chocolate, lemon etc and a few signature flavors such as their mint chocolate chip. You get a lot for a little, and a medium is the smallest way to squeeze in two flavors. On our most recent visit we tasted:- their signature mint chocolate chip, which is more of a creamy ice -pineapple, which has some rind in it! My personal fave! Yum! Super refreshing! -watermelon, which was understated, but good. -Cotton candy-definitely leaving this one to the littles. Ewwww-Strawberry Lemonade-awesome! Perfect balance of tart and sweet! This place is easy to hit up if you're shopping down on Del Ave (Target, Marshall's, etc or heading to the movie theater. It's the closest water ice place to the river)Easy 30 min loading spots right out front."

"really fun place for drinks and billiards (duh). we didn't play but there were tons of tables. some cool cocktail selections along with nice beer selections. great music playing, fantastic waitstaff. can't wait to come back and play pool!"

"Ordered three baked inside outs after hearing about them, Buffalo chicken, BBQ chicken and plain pizza style. They arrived nice and hot and were big enough for a few meals. I sliced them into strips with a pizza slicer and was impressed by the flavors. I thought they were a great value at between $5 and $6.50 a piece.Flavor wise they were a tad more on the doughy side, I would have liked more of the inside flavor, but I think overall they were tasty and delicious.I'll definitely add these to the rotation for office lunch options."

"LocationJust off 95 (@2 miles west) BroomallParkingLarge open lotAtmosphereDinerSeatingCounter, booths, tablesServiceFriendly, immediate, attentiveMenuLots to choose from-breakfast menu offers a wide variety of options. The mimosa was HUGE-fresh squeezed orange juice. So good! We had the three egg special-comes with toast and home fries. The english muffin was toasted perfectly-delivered with a plate of butter packs! Beefsteak tomatoes were yum. Grits a bit watery but good. Eggs over medium and scrambled-so good! Refills on ice tea-terrific! SummeryConvenient location, great service, outstanding food-large portions! Love it!! Note-Check out the bakery!!!"

"Finally a new pizza place in the Liberty Bell area! I went in today for the grand opening, and the owner was greeting people at the door and giving a mini tour of how the place operates.They have all your usual pizza options hot and ready to go by the slice. I got a couple slices and was definitely happy with them. They also do the usual hot foods such as chicken parm, cheesesteaks etc.Lamberti also offers a a refrigerated market section with a ton of pre-made Italian dishes in containers for you to take back to your office or home for later. Many things to choose from.Overall I was very impressed on day one with the clean, spacious store, the friendly staff, and quality of food. Definitely give them a try if you are in the area."

"Came here with my partner for a lil taco celebration this weekend. I come for the margs and tacos but I stay because I love the vibez. Who doesn't love tacos, nachos, margaritas ?!Well besides my partner who doesn't drink during Ramadan so it was spirit-free for him. He tried the tropical avocado Fresca and the prickly pear lemonade. Yumm!!I'm normally a Cadillac Margarita girl as long as it's 100% blue agave and no box mix I'm good to go. I was a sucker for the Aztec Old Fashioned though and it was a great choice.Tuna tacos to die for. Overflowing with tuna. All the other tacos I tried I loved and pour me some of that hot salsa please.Staff was great and friendly. Happy to be there!"

"the pizza is my favorite. i come here all the time to get a large plain. i am moving out of philly and will miss Franks so much!!!"

"In the mood for authentic Italian food. The small BYOB gem was our first choice. This is a husband and wife establishment. The wife is in the front of the house and the husband Likki is in the kitchen cooking delicious hot meals. I heard the pizza is delicious. There were so many carry out pick up orders for pizza. Next time we will order pizza. We had the grilled shrimp appetizer which was delicious. Also served hot pizza crust bread which was delicious. I ordered roasted vegetables and date had seafood linguine which was on the specials board along with other entrees. The food was cooked to perfection. The serving sizes are nice for the price. I can't wait to return for dinner. They do not have lunch service. When the weather is nice they have outside seating. The husband came out to engage in conversation and ask about our dinner."

"La Famiglia is a small but cozy restaurant right near my condo. I have been there a couple of times in the past, but as I was looking for a restaurant week destination I realized that I hadn't been in years and I had never posted a Yelp review. A quick walk down the block during Fall restaurant week fixes that oversight.I'm writing this review late, so unfortunately I don't remember the names of the dishes. I started off with a pasta dish. A cheese stuffed ravioli in a red sauce. It was delicious. My meal was off to a great start. My entrée was veal covered with cheese and some veggies. It was two slices of succulent veal that also had a little piece of bacon on top to add a pop of flavor. A side of veggies is a big mistake in my book. I didn't even eat them. The dessert course was a sampler, with small slices of chocolate cake, cheesecake, and tiramisu. Each one was outstanding, and I would get any of them full sized, depending on what I was in the mood for. I liked my cocktail enough to order a second one, but I don't remember the name of it.I left La Famiglia still feeling a bit hungry, which is not what is supposed to happen during restaurant week. My entrée was just not filling enough. I don't remember this being a problem years back, so it may be they cut down on the portion just for restaurant week. Not very cool. Service was impeccable. The potential is there for a five star restaurant. I'll have to give it another try when it's not restaurant week."

"I've tried dozens of pizza places in Philly and this is for sure my favorite! They have a great Detroit-style crispy and chew crust, with a savory and slightly sweet sauce. The whole pie is around $20 and is plenty to split between 3-4 people. I've tried their burgers before but don't think they are anything special to be honest. They also offer a nice variety of beers. There's plenty of seating on the lower and top floors and usually never have to wait to sit with a party of four. The ambiance is like any other American bar, with sports games playing on the TVs. There's always great service as well!"

"The Goat is one of my favorite spots to stop in on a hot muggy day and sample the crafty draughty selections. The GM -- Ugg I'll have to get her name -- a most delightful and welcoming host! On my first visit, she was sitting opposite me at the bar and overheard my convo with the barman. She eagerly had many more details to share about each of the draught selections. Wow.THIS PLACE IS HIPOn a prime night, the billiards are ballin' and the burgers are beggin' and the beers are burrin' -- SO COLD! Kitchen closes at midnight, so it's an awesome spot for a late-night cheeseburger or mac-n-cheese.Like I said, the real stars are the choices of beers that they are rotating in. I've not had a brew-som(elier?) OH THE BURGER!The burger! It's smash-style and prepared on the rare side of mid-rare (perfection), with the best sesame bun to go with it. Of course, EVERYTHING tastes better with a fried egg, and this burger is no exception!Oosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about the memory of that burger, i can't wait to have it again.Sides are additional, so if it's just a burger you're after, you can keep it on the $$."

"I love love love Tsaocaa'a slushes! We come here as often as possible, as the slushes just cannot be beat by any other place. Having tried Vivi, Teado, and Kungfu, I will always choose to come to Tsaocaa over those. The staff is quick and friendly, and the drinks are delicious. We don't love sweet drinks, but when you do 0% sugar, there is still a slight sweetness from the juice and jellies. I recommend the grapefruit, strawberry, and mango slushes, as they are the most refreshing ones on a hot summer day. They do have indoor seating available if you are comfortable. I haven't tried the chicken yet, but it does look delicious."

"The place was busy and quite popular. The woman who was our waitress had someone training with her so the orders took a little longer to come out, especially since they messed up one of our orders. The food was good though"

"Really love that this spot popped up in the neighborhood. Came in for breakfast on a Sunday. It wasn't crowded but wasn't empty either. We got a coffee, a chai donut, and a "saltie" sandwich. The donut was pillowy soft and pretty big. The chai sugar coating was so delicious. The sandwich was a little crispy on top but the egg and ricotta was dreamy. I really enjoyed it. They have a bunch of different pastries and sandwiches. I would say come around 9:30 because we came before that and they kept bringing out new things.Also, the decor and vibes were so cute and amazing. I can see myself meeting friends for coffee and hanging out here.I'll definitely be back!"

"We were in town visiting my daughter and her boyfriend. They recommended Osteria. I am glad they did.The restaurant is dark, however we were able to snag a table in the sunroom. It was comfortable, feeling like we were eating on the porch without being on a porch. The service was attentive and we could easily have a pleasant conversation.To start, we ordered the the grilled broccolini caesar and a fungi pizza to share. The fungi pizza was excellent, coming with oyster mushroom, truffle bechamel, caramelized onion and taleggio. The wood oven put just the right amount of bite in the crust. I highly recommend it as an appetizer. However, the star of the evening was the broccolini caesar. It was perfectly grilled and the peperoncino, bread crumb and ricotta salata perfectly complimented the broccolini without overwhelming it. I could have just had another order for my entree and called it a night. It is that good!!But instead, for my entree I selected the Rigatoni that features chicken liver, cipollini onion and sage. My daughter told me this ias one of the dishes they are known for, and it is quite good. I asked her boyfriend to describe the difference between a cipollini onion and a yellow onion. I'm still waiting for a response. While I waited, I enjoyed this delicious pasta. Be warned that the chicken liver is rich. If you don't like liver, this might not be the dish for you. However if you do...get it.My wife enjoyed Mandilli di Seta, which is a pasta with basil pesto, toasted pinenuts, tuscan pecorino. Although she was still full from the pizza, she still powered through the pasta, thus ensuring a peaceful sleep train ride back to DC.All in all, a great meal. I can see us coming back again, as there are so many entrees that I would love top explore. Well done Osteria!Still waiting for closure on the onion quiz..."

"What an awesome dinner. Southwark had been on the list for a while and we were finally able to go. Perfect night to dig out back in the courtyard. Cocktails are great and clever. Wine list is small but solid and appropriate for the menu. The beef tartare toast appetizer was great, but the grated horseradish was a little too overpowering to appreciate the tartare. The duck was PERFECT. I say that rarely and it was perfect. Enough fat to want to eat the crisp. Little enough that fat wasn't your entire bite. Perfectly cooked. The chive mezze rigatoni was in a fantastic yet simple sauce, you'd want to drink it. The double cheeseburger was solid but the fries really stole the show. Ended the night with the corn soufflé cake which is both the weirdest and most delicious combination of flavors. So impressed with the meal. Can't wait to come back."

"I really think Panda Garden is a good, solid pick for Chinese American food when you're craving it.They have a huge variety of a lot of classic Chinese American takeout on their menu. My partner and I ordered it off of seamless, and we really enjoyed everything we got. The price isn't terrible, and the portions are super generous and fed us for another whole meal. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, walnut shrimp, and Szechuan style pork along with an appetizer of two egg rolls and crab wontons. The sesame chicken and the walnut shrimp were my two personal faves, and they really packed the takeout container with a ton of meat rather than filling it up with filler veggies. Everything tasted delicious and as expected, and really hit the spot for fulfilling our takeout craving. The order came with two generous portions of white rice, and we weren't charged extra for it.The only two downsides to the meal were that the dipping sauce with the sweet and source pork was super watered down for some reason? And not as flavorful as I was expecting, and then also our order through Seamless was almost an hour late from the projected time we got, even when we ordered ahead of time. So just be prepared that this place gets super busy on a weekend night at prime dinner time!"
