Momoyama Ramen & Hawaiian BBQ II

★★★★★ 4.7 (75) • $$

"Highly recommend! It looked a little sad at 1PM on a Thursday afternoon, there was only one other car in the parking lot. We've seen good reviews so decided to try it out anyways and we're so glad we did. We told the waitress that we'd be splitting our dishes and she brought two extra bowls and two extra plates for each of the dishes. We ordered the barbecue short ribs and the pork curry Ramen. Both dishes were good, it wasn't my favorite Ramen flavor profile, but that's personal preference. The pork in the Ramen was unbelievably delicious; soft and fatty. Absolutely scrumptious. The barbecue short ribs were perfectly done with a wonderful grilled taste of them. my spouse said that this place is his new favorite in the burbs. Check it out!"

Food From The Heart

★★★★☆ 3.8 (34)

"I was in Philly and wanted some real food and support a Black Owned business. I goes straight to YELP to check out what was near me, and this spot came up and had decent reviews, so off I go to try it out. I ordered the fried fish and shrimp platter with cabbage and greens, a catfish sandwich, and corn on the cob. I'm so disappointed that I spent $42.66 and the food was TRASH!!! The whiting was old and dried out, the shrimp were fried hard on the outside and chewy on the inside, corn was overcooked and very difficult to bite into. My guy sad the catfish wasn't bad but the greens , tasteless and same for the cabbage. My biggest regret is that I didn't take pictures before trashing it!"

Ribs R' Us

★★★★☆ 3.5 (8)

"So this place wasn't on yelp but the food is WAY too delicious not to be on here. The food taste like my uncle from down south was on the grill in a linen outfit and leather sandals(iykyk). I got the ribs, Mac n cheese(taste lie my moms) yams and green beans. I had it delivered and they didn't have the chocolate cake I ordered, the worked called to offer me alternates and added and extra dessert for the inconvenience. Can't beat great food with great service. The place is unassuming but don't miss out!"

Mahalo Hawaiian BBQ

★★★★★ 4.6 (61) • $$

"Mahalo is a welcome addition to the Philly Food Scene. Like Hawaii itself, Mahalo offers laid back, simple yet amazingly tasty food that you truly enjoy. I brought a friend and between the Kalua Pork and BBQ Chicken Combo Meal, the BBQ Short Ribs, the BBQ Beef and the can of nostalgia that I had (Hawaiian Sun Fruit Punch), I was brought back to those simple comforting meals I'd had years ago on Kauai. (BTW the Macaroni Salad was "just right..." not too sweet like some places.My compliments to the friendly staff and especially the chef! Mahalo (thanks) is DEFINITELY the word I want to use!"

Wilson's Secret Sauce

★★★★☆ 4.2 (258) • $$

"The most amazing food. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The kid who typically will only eat pasta ate the better part of a brisket sandwich. Love this place!!"

Fette Sau

★★★★☆ 3.9 (707) • $$

"Food was top notch. Another can't miss Stephen Starr place. Barbecue places in the north east are rare and good ones damn near impossible to find. This is a reliable place that has excellent food, a top notch bourbon list and ample room to eat on the inside."

Bomb Bomb

★★★★☆ 4 (132)

"Finally got to check out Bomb Bomb, this place was recommended by my boyfriend's family and we'd never been. Best way I can describe it is if EPCOT had a South Philly attraction, this would be it. This is an Italian bar/restaurant frozen in the 90s with great food and service. We ordered the chicken parm, linguine and clams, and the icebox cake. There was also bread and butter plus olive oil on the house. Everything was delicious, and I love that the cake came in a beer glass with 2 long spoons. Portions are filling, save some bread to mop up the sauce! Will be back to try their famous ribs. There were plenty of tables the weekend after Thanksgiving and no issues parking either."

So Korean Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (113)

"My friends and I were a group of 5 people, and we came to So Korean Grill one night for dinner. We ordered Set B, which serves 3-4 people, and added on an extra order of egg souffle and some seafood pancakes. The banchan were unlimited, and the staff refilled them upon request. The meats were fresh, high-quality, well-marinated, tender, and not overly salty. All of the food was so good. It was a lot of food, and we were so satisfyingly stuffed. If everyone is extremely hungry, then Set B is good for 3-4 people. Otherwise, Set B with some add-ons is a good amount for 4-5 people. Despite it being super busy and short-staffed, the staff did a great job. The service was a little slow, but they were really great about consistently changing out the grills. They also helped with grilling and cutting the meat.So Korean Grill is located in the same plaza as H Mart and is super convenient for getting groceries and a meal in one visit. It is not AYCE KBBQ, but the meat is really good. It is a pricey meal, but it is worth the money."

Frank's Alot

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (88) • $

"I was working at a conference right across from Reading Market and when I saw Frank's had pierogis, I knew I had to try them!!Pierogis are one of my favorite foods since my family would make them every Christmas growing up. While I'd never expect a place to have them as good as our family's homemade recipe, I really enjoyed the pierogis here!They have an eclectic variety of food like wings, Mac n cheese, cornbreads with different fruits, and more. I got the pierogis that were 4 for $6, along with q side of sour cream. They tasted really good and I enjoyed them for lunch. All their food looked tasty, and I was very happy with my lunch here!"

Tanglewood Fire and Smoke

★★★★★ 4.6 (39)

"Today my husband and I were in the mood for chicken cheesesteaks, but we didn't feel like driving up norf for Maxx's. We searched Grubhub and stumbled upon Tanglewood Fire and Smoke of Folsom, PA. My husband was intrigued by a barbecue place that makes cheesesteaks and once we noticed that they smoke their chicken for the chicken cheesesteak, we were committed to try them out.We each ordered the Smoked Chicken Cheesesteak. It consisted of smoked, pulled chicken and a footlong roll with roasted tomato relish and chipotle queso, topped with fried chicken cracklins (fried chicken skins) and a side of house made pickles and chips. We also order two sides, my husband ordered the Buffalo Pig Bites which were crispy pork belly nuggets tossed in Buffalo sauce with a side of goat cheese ranch. I ordered a small Chipotle Mac & Cheese with the seasoned pork rinds on the side. We both agreed that the Smoked Chicken Cheesesteaks were pretty good. I was looking for the chicken to be a little more like chopped breast meat though I know that it was pulled meat but it was still very tasty. My husband was fond of the smokiness of the chicken and was glad it was not not overshadowed by the queso. I found the queso to be very rich and felt that it overshadowed the tomato relish till the point where the relish wasn't necessary. Overall just a solid cheesesteak. My husband thought the Buffalo Pork Bites were tasty and the goat cheese ranch sauce was a great complement. I thought the Mac & Cheese was just okay."

Rai Rai Ramen & Hawaiian BBQ

★★★★★ 4.6 (352) • $$

"I recommend this place! While I wish the broth was richer, it was still good. They offer a student discount if you show your ID, regardless of the school you go to. Nice spacious indoor seating. Nice people. Will be coming back again soon!"

Salt Korean Bbq

★★★★☆ 4.4 (133)

"Came here with a group of 12 and it was great! This was our first time here and definitely not our last! We ordered a lot of food but our favorite was the Marinated galbi and the pork. The sides were also really tasty we enjoyed the kimchi radish and salad. We also enjoyed the soups, the kimchi soup was spicy and the soy bean soup was very tasty. Service was great we had a few servers help us cook the food and made sure it was made to our liking and once cooked they moved it to a bowl so the meat did not over cook.Parking was just okay, the close parking spots had a 2 hr limit and it's just a little walk to the other parking spots."

Rio Brazilan Steak Truck

★★★★★ 4.6 (13)

"Easily one of the best food truck secrets in all of Philadelphia, for now?When I first read that the slightly unknown food truck was going to be in attendance during the Connie's Ric Rac 10 Year Anniversary Show, I instantly checked their website and had my minds eye flowing with meat perfection! And upon seeing the execution I have to consider the closest thing possible to having Fogo De Chao within a food truck! In fact it comes from a Brazilian born chef who spent time working in Fogo, Chima, and Na'Brasa (https://foodjunkets.com/2014/07/31/new-brazilian-steak-truck-coming-soon-to-philly/). So it goes without saying that he knows a thing or too about full on carnivore glory!Unless you're vegetarian/vegan, when you find yourself looking at a menu filled with sirloin, rib eye, sausage, chicken, and kebob options, for $10, it's easy to find yourself craving all of the above. Especially if you catch its scent as its being intricately cooked upon a hand turned spit rotisserie style (Inside the food truck!), and have the bulk of those meats served sandwich style with either lettuce/tomato/onion, or a good sized chunk of pineapple that's also cooked a bit upon the spit.Upon seeing the menu options my mind was singing to it Freddie Mercury style (https://youtu.be/hFDcoX7s6rE)! But with clearer reading the true winner turned out to be the Leme, which had the most succulent chunks of chicken that I've ever had, WRAPPED IN BACON, and stuffed into a flaky and slightly toasted roll alongside a good sized chunk of that aforementioned pineapple. And it goes without saying that that sandwich gods were smiling down upon me that afternoon!For now (Change request submitted!) this listing is perfectly misleading since Rio Brazil(ian) is a food truck and not a steakhouse, and 34th & Market is supposed to be where they're parked during the week when their not catering or doing special events. But if you're a meat eating sandwich lover who sees this truck (Facebook may help - https://www.facebook.com/riobraziliansteaktruck), do yourself a favor and get some!"

Long Shot BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.8 (30)

"They know how to do BBQ Brisket!I got their Brisket Fries yesterday (BOGO on Uber Eats!) and I had to order them again today! You get so much meat for only $7 ($8.50 on Uber Eats), and their fries are nice and have flavor! (I've had places where their fries actually taste like cardboard, there's a big difference)The brisket on it- it's so good. Like, seriously, so good. The spices on the edge of the meat is so flavorful and slightly peppery and just so great. And the meat isn't dry, it's juicy and fatty and so just... *amazing*.And their BBQ sauce- I got mild, and it's so delicious! Slightly Sweet, Smokey, Savory, just a *hint* of peppery... Oh! And, you can just *Tell* it's homemade. It's thick, not runny, and you can see the spices in it. I'd bet my left foot they make it from scratch. Definitely ordering from here again, I don't even care that the prices are a little higher on Uber eats than the menus they give with the order. It's worth the difference."

Dwight's Southern Bar-B-Que

★★★☆☆ 3 (46)

"Easily some of the best BEEF ribs and bbq chicken you can get in Philadelphia, but don't expect soul food with a smile!!!! They're not the friendliest bunch, but who CARES? It's takeout only, so get your grub and go!!!!Their mac and cheese and collard greens are DIVINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call your order in, because the place gets pretty crowded on the weekend. Expensive, but worth every penny."

Bake’n Bacon

★★★★☆ 3.8 (34)

"My experience was nothing short of amazing! The restaurants decor is so inviting, so well thought out and put together, the food was delicious. I had the mac & cheese, which was creamy and full of flavor., and I had the brisket burnt end, also full of flavor and tender!!! The hanging bacon was to die forI sat at the bar and got to speak with the owners and the bartender, and I had a such a good timeI highly recommend this place I will definitely be returned"

Mae's West Chester

★★★★☆ 4.4 (60) • $$

"Mae's is a great place to stop by for a good brunch, especially if you like eating outdoors, as they have a number of tables set up on Gay St. and have even more tables when the street is closed over the summer. We enjoyed two short stacks of banana pancakes (they aren't on the menu technically but they were kind enough to make the pancakes with bananas in them just for us). The pancakes featured three small pancakes that were clearly homemade and not from a mix and were covered with powdered sugar and served with whipped butter and maple syrup. We really liked them a lot and we would gladly eat them again. Mae's must use buckwheat based flour because we tasted this in the pancakes, so this can either be a good or bad thing depending on if you prefer pancakes that are more buckwheat versus more buttermilk based ones. I had perfectly cooked thick sliced bacon with mine and my wife enjoyed the Yukon breakfast potatoes. She said they were some of the best potatoes she ever had and she was right. They had some onions in them and they were perfectly cooked and served with a side of ketchup. She had coffee with her breakfast that was slightly acidic but was freshly brewed. Our server, Ariana, was super friendly and helpful and we will happily return here for breakfast every time our buttermilk based pancake place in town (no names mentioned, haha) is on vacation."

Kim's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (244) • $$

"As soon as we got out from the parking lot, we could smell the barbecue. What makes this place special is that they use charcoal instead of gas. The waiter cooks the meat for you. The cooked meat was put on the side so that it wasn't overcooked. I picked beef tongue. Very short cook time because they were thinly sliced. I dipped them in the sauce that came with the order. Rich in umami flavor. The marinated beef and pork was well seasoned and not overly saturated salty soy sauce.They provide several side dishes but the portion was very small. The lettuce was fresh and big, perfect to wrap the meat.I ordered hot Korean tea. Unfortunately, they served the piping hot tea in a plastic jar. High risk of chemical leeching. It's not a BYOB , you can buy beer there"

Angry Deekin Ribs

★★★★☆ 4.1 (73)

"I was looking to support a black owned business and came across Angry Deekin Ribs. I placed a delivery order of a spare rib platter with baked beans and greens, with an extra side of cornbread. The ribs were falling off the bone, juicy, and covered in a delectable BBQ sauce. They were so delicious! I only got a little bit of baked beans. Maybe they were running low. I did enjoy what I had. The greens were the weak link. I wouldnt order that as a side again. The cornbread was a large piece and tasty. I was so glad I was able to split it and have it for two days. The platter also comes with 2 slices of bread, which was a welcome add on.I almost forgot to mention I order pulled pork to save for dinner the next day. The pork was pulled really really thin, which is not how I prefer. But that Angry Deekin BBQ sauce is on point so I was still happy with it.I'm looking forward to restaurants reopening so I can visit Angry Deekin in person."

Jomon Japanese BBQ & Hot Pot

★★★★☆ 4.2 (331) • $$$

"Cool concept, getting to choose between hot pot or BBQ --- or BOTH if you feel the burden of indecision. The menu is ample, full of many options for everyone. Not sure if the quality of the meat is exceptional, but it's all you can eat so you get your money's worth in terms of size for sure. Tons of appetizers to choose from as well. The service was decent, staff is quick and responsive, so that's a plus."

Dwight's Southern Barbecue II

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (65)

"All I can say is that the guys worked hard to accommodate the crowds and the bbq chicken wings were GOOD."

Luther ribs

★★★★☆ 3.6 (94)

"Been a while..........I love ribs and Ribs R Us did not disappoint me. They were very tender and juicy, but I found the sauce to be a little bit too watery for my taste.I got good value for my money, ordering a half slab of ribs, a side of collard greens, candied yams and large side of potato salad, all for around $18 bucks. I ate off the delicious food platter all day long.Service wasn't the greatest, but having called my order in enabled me to get in and out real quickly. I have eaten from here a few times and I found Ribs R us to be very consistent."

Mr Pig Korean BBQ

★★★★★ 4.5 (65)

"My husband and I love Korean bbq. So when I saw that this place has good ratings, we decided to give it a try.It is conveniently located near Chinatown, bus stop, and 676. Spacious, sleek, high industrial ceiling, and clean. Bright light at each table. In the wall near the cashier, there are paintings of of men in traditional Korean clothing. On the other side of the wall there are two televisions. One is showing a music video ok K-pop with no sound. Hip hop music is playing but not too loud. Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly hostess who directed us to the table. Our waiter was very friendly, attentive, and engaging. He offered refills for our side dishes a couple of times. He explained that the restaurant has been opened for 9 months. Weekend can be busy.We ordered bulgogi and spicy pork belly to be cooked on the barbecue plate. They also have menu items that are cooked in the kitchen. Our orders come with refillable side dishes served on small plates: fish cakes, kimchi, fermented beans spread, rice, a mini dollop of mashed potato and corn, and cabbage. We also get a bowl of salad to be shared. The barbecue plate is slanted with three sections at the rim for more side dishes: cheese and corn, bean sprouts, and steamed egg made fresh as our waiter poured the liquid egg into the compartment. I've never seen such design. It allows the grease flows down. First, raw onion and beech mushrooms are put on the grill plate then they are mixed with bulgogi. The meat is ready in a short time and not burnt. My favorite side dish is the cheese and corn. As the plate gets hotter, the cheese is melting so you can see cheese pull. So yummy.The exhaust system is well designed. Our clothes don't smell like barbecue at all.It was a fun dining experience for us.There's a sign that says if you bring the receipt from Me. Pig to Hey Yogurt, you can get 20 percent off."

Mission BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.1 (112) • $$

"I had not been back to the Springfield Mission since 2021 and 5 stars to Michelle who was working the dining room on a slow Monday night.The ribs were overly salty (too much rub) but the meat was cooked perfectly.One star off for the price increase.Just for my a 5 bone spare rib platter with ONE side and a regular fountain drink was over $19.Youch!Meanwhile, in these days of inflation, it's still a good value for a BIG hearty meal of delicious BBQ.I love the spareribs here."

Jamillah Garden

★★★★☆ 3.5 (37)

"The fish fried rice from Garden of Bilal is legendary in these Uptown streets. They had a location that closed on Wadsworth Ave., so I'm happy they brought it back. Ion care whose name is on the awning..LOL. The review from JL Jupiter is worth ALL the hype: https://youtu.be/op00zFJ5-70?si=fsYfFYXsZUdN63DS"

Dibbs BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.3 (52)

"Bottom line: If this isn't the best barbecue in Philadelphia, then I want to find the place that's better. These ribs are dancing with flavor. From the smoke to the rub and the sauce (which you won't need but have it anyway), everything is a new flavor experience.And the sweet potato cornbread... I guarantee you've never had anything like it. Just get it. I have a new favorite barbecue spot in Philly. No question about it."

Pocha Street

★★★★☆ 4.2 (255) • $$$

"We had the set special A with galbi, finger rib, inner ribeye, and spinallis. The finger rib was really good - flavoring is great and the meat is tender and juicy. Galbi is cut off the bone and is softer than what I expected. The other rib cultus were also good but not flavored so I preferred the finger rib and galbi. We also had the soy garlic Korean chicken wings and they were excellent as well. We didn't order any sides and I would say that we probably could have added another item, maybe more chicken wings or some more meat. Ambience is very cute. Each table is set off with clear curtains so it feels like you're in a little pod. Service is great. They also help you get started with the cooking. The restaurant has its own parking lot so parking is easy. Overall food is very good. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for Korean bbq in the PA area."

Nine Ting

★★★★☆ 4 (1320) • $$$

"I've been here a handful of times for hot pot and each time a member of the group has been celebrating a birthday as the birthday person enjoys a free meal! The service is pretty standard, not overly attentive but if you need something a server is around to assist. The portions of the food brought to the table are very reasonable and the produce has always been fresh - I love the fried tofu! The highlight is the sauce bar - they do have a little guide to help you make something you'll enjoy but if you're like me you'll make a few mistakes until you find a combination you enjoy. I love that each meal has ended with a little ice cream and fresh fruit. It's a good place for a 4-6 person group! Just remember it's a BYOB!"

Rib Rack

★★★★☆ 4 (166)

"The food was a pretty good option for the holiday weekend. The baby back rib platter was good and filling. The ribs were tender, the Mac and cheese were flavorful, and the corn bread was tasty. I ordered to go and my food was about a 20 minute wait. They have dinning room, but it was very dim and dark inside, like a pub. Overall pretty good. It's not easy finding good bbq in Philly."

Brazas BBQ Chicken

★★★★★ 4.8 (40) • $$

"A neighbor posted about a new Peruvian restaurant with delicious food and wonderful service, so I got some friends together to try it out: so glad that we did!Carmen was a wonderful host and took us through the menu. As usual, we wanted to try as much as possible, so we ordered two half chickens* (which came with all the sauces and two garden salads), two Brazas Empanadas (Aji de Gallina - pulled chicken, Peruvian pepper, cheese sauce), Yuquitas a al Huancaina (crispy yuca and Huancaina dipping sauce), Chaufa (Peruvian fried rice), Maduros (sweet plantains), Macaroni a la Huancaina, and Chicha Morada (Peruvian purple corn drink) and Pineapple Jugo Fresco all around.The Brazas Empanadas are original to the chef at Brazas, and, as Carmen suggested, best eaten immediately so they're piping hot and the cheese is gooey!Everything was perfectly cooked: the chicken was tender and well-seasoned, the Yuquitas were extra crispy, and the Maduros were sweet and slightly crispy.Both the Chaufa and the Macaroni a la Huancaina were spins on what your taste buds might expect from fried rice or macaroni--note, the macaroni was more of a macaroni salad than a mac'n'cheese.And the salad was refreshing--especially when mixed with the Peruvian Olive Mayo dipping sauce! Speaking of dipping sauces, my favorite was the Brazas Green Sauce (Medium). Second favorite was the Brazas Rocoto Red Sauce (Hot). The other sauces were also tasty, but I just couldn't stay away from the Brazas Green Sauce, which went well with the Chicha Morada, which wasn't overly sweet, and was certainly a deep purple color.We capped off the meal with an order of Tres Leches and an order of Flan--both were yummy. Brazas has plenty of seating for parties of various sizes, and was fulfilling quite a lot of takeout orders, but the chef brought some dishes out himself and Carmen checked in on us periodically. Will definitely return!*It was so tasty, that some in our party wound up placing another order to bring home to the rest of her family!"

Mommy Telly's Famous BBQ

★★★★★ 4.9 (19)

"This food truck really reminds me that there are good people left in this world! Jay is one of the most sweetest person ever! Once a month he has free food for anyone which, is something I didn't know until last week when me and my co-workers went to get some food. Not only does he do this but when you pay for the food vis Venmo he comments on everyone of them thanking his customers!The food itself is super worth it as well. There are two options either chicken which, is $5 or the pork which, is $6. The meal comes with water so you dob't have to worry about your beverage. On top of the meal you pick he offers to put onions and hot sauce which, is something I recommend because it just makes it taste 10 times better. The food is good and the customer service is fantastic!"

Pocha K-BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.4 (11)

"DELICIOUS!! Went out for a birthday dinner with some friends, and we ... tried ... everything. Well, not everything, but it felt like it.We tried the Pork Belly ($25) and Marinated Beef Ribeye ($28) on the grill. My two friends are pros at Korean BBQ and cooked it to perfection for us.Then we all spilt:-Jae-yook Dolsot Bibimbap (spicy pork with crispy rice - $18)-Kimbap (sushi roll - $8)-Haemul Pa-jeon (seafood and vegetable pancake - $15)-Gae-lamh-jjim (steamed egg - $10) (soo good)The meal also came with a million side dishes. There was unlimited rice, kimchi, lettuce, sauces and more. The food was a little more on the pricey side than what I usually go for, but it was so worth it for the party.The service was great. We had a little room off to the side all to ourselves, so the waiter gave us the remote to the TV. Although the tv didn't have any sound (because there was music playing from speakers for the whole restaurant), it was a nice to be able to play whatever k-pop dance videos we wanted to.Top tier food, service, and atmosphere !!"

Takka Grill & Shrimpie's

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (27)

"My family and I ordered from Takka Grill and Shrimpies this evening. They came highly recommended by my aunt and our meal did not disappoint. The four of us ladies ordered the exact same thing but before I get into the food itself let me say it's always a plus when a seafood restaurant delivers and that all four of our meals were stapled shut and securely wrapped which is a pretty big deal when your meal is swimming in a luscious buttery sauce.We each had the snow crab with corn on the cob and broccoli and two orders of the Cajun shrimp. Each platter had two gloriously large clusters that were seasoned with old bay and steamed to perfection. The shrimp were a good size and also steamed and seasoned well. The red sauce they serve with it was a sort of mix of cocktail and hot sauce. There was an almost hour wait but we didn't mind especially when our meal arrived piping hot! All of us were full and satisfied."

Tradesman's

★★★☆☆ 3 (250) • $$

"I checked out Trademan's because I was in Center City for an event! I don't get to Center City too often these days (Apocalyptic Pandemic Reasons..Lol) so I wanted to get a place with a varied menu!The menu features BBQ items and a robust beer/draft menu!Me & my friends decided to sample a few items...cheesesteak egg rolls; smoked wings and a burger!The food was Meh ...the beer menu and service is why we gave it the extra star! Our server was fantastic! The space is wide open and I appreciate openness!Would I return..Yes..Happy Hour for sure!"

Black Pearl's BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.8 (6)

"Delicious food made by friendly folks who seem very dedicated to their work and take pride in their craft. 2 highlight items for me are the stuffed burger and chicken"
