"Great service and nice music! The impossible tacos were really good. Wish the tortilla was toasted. The sweet plantains were very good loved the garlic aioli sauce it came with. Interesting that they had salt gave it nice taste. Corn was okay, didn't love the loaded yuka "cheese" not my favorite. Our waitress was really nice!"
"This place is so incredibly interesting....and delish! Jamaican influenced vegan soul food? Count me in! Stopped by for a takeout lunch while I was in the area. I may make a habit of being close by more often after tasting what Nile has to offer!I walked through tons of lush greenery after I entered the open yet welcoming, uber casual space. Half of it is designated for various items for sale including oils, clothing and percussion instruments. What a nice surprise it was to be treated to a drumming sesh while waiting for my food to be served up. Awesome! There's a pretty small menu and platter deals such as 1 main and two sides or 1 main and three sides and so on. I went with the first option. Torn between the BBQ "chicken" and the Jerk "chicken", the kind gentleman who has been vegan since 1980 and provided amazing conversation steered me towards the jerk. It was amazing!! Full of flavor, a hint of spice and an awesome meaty texture!! Definitely give it a try! *They offer both wheat and soy proteins and list them clearly on the menu board for anyone curious. I was originally a tad disappointment they were out of cornbread as a side option later in the afternoon by the time I visited. Because hello, vegan cornbread! I went for brown rice and collard greens instead. Boy was I wrong thinking the brown rice would be a boring side. It was topped it with the most insanely flavorful gravy!!! Wow! The collards were perfect as well! Intrigued by everything this gem had to offer, I took some chickpea salad, black bean soup and snickerdoodle cake to go also. I just wanted to taste it all! The chickpea salad was an awesome pure protein substitute for a potato salad, but had the same consistency and a similar taste. It was filled with diced crunchy veggies too! The black bean soup had a little heat to it and was filled with big chunky stewed veggies. Delish! The girls gobbled up the cake. It was a nice thick slice and was moist. The vanilla frosting was super creamy and it was drizzled in a delicious sweet, sticky caramel like sauce. Yes, I had a taste! I HAD to! My girls did mention the icing tasted like butter. After tasting I will have to agree while it is delicious, if you're used to the vegan butter Earth Balance, you may just say the same. I don't know for sure that's what they used but I would be extremely surprised if they didn't. All and all, it was an awesome first visit and I look forward to many more! From great convo and hanging out with "my people", to incredibly tasty food, and free entertainment too...there wasn't much not to love from this simple pay at the counter joint with some funky flare. There was an awesome sense of community here and I love being around other people with such a love and passion for animals and Mother Earth. It's a definitely a feel good kind of place vibrating with pure positivity. *They use all filtered water for their cooking and have a filling station. If you have bottles, bring 'em. **Check out the table with flyers for local business and events!*** There's a small parking lot in the back with no line markers, but it's safe to park there, or so I was told by the staff at the restaurant. I had no issues."

"It appears that a majority of the reviews on the Nine Thai Kitchen Yelp page are for a previous occupant of this space, Chez Novak. Must have been special, but its memory is wasted on the current southeast Asian inhabitants who have taken the cuisine in a significantly different and delicious direction. The dining room is small, with room for only 22 chairs. Lots of houseplants and reminiscences of Phuket. Friendly and attentive management actively engaged with customers. The owner is the chef. His family runs the front of house, but he delivered my Drunken Noodles with Chicken to me steaming hot from the wok. Broad rice noodles, mixed with pieces of tomato, broccoli, green and red pepper, onion, basil leaves and lemongrass, with medium Thai chili heat that made my nose run as expected. It was very good. It was cool to be back in my old neighborhood (26th & Brown). Things have changed for the better since the end of the last century. Girard Avenue has a nice peoples' vibe with lots of diverse culture and family streetlife. Harper's Ice Cream is right next door. My next stop."
"I ordered Hibiscus via Uber Eats. I wanted something fresh and healthy. I haven't eaten at this place in a while, so it was a perfect choice to get back to loving their food. They give good portions and good flavors. I ordered the super powers smoothie, garden wrap salad and salmon platter with veggies and jerk sauce. I definitely could've bought two of the super power smoothies because it was so refreshing and tasty. The super power smoothie contains, blueberries, strawberries, antioxidants, gogi berries, sea moss and rice milk. I was initially interested in ordering it because it has the added bonus of sea moss. The smoothie is a beautiful dark red or purple color and has a thick consistency. I couldn't wait to drink it from the look alone. I'm definitely thinking about getting another smoothy soon. Maybe one of their green goddess smoothies.The salad is a very simple and delicious. It has fresh crunchy lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers and avocado and a side of sesame vinegarette dressing. It was wrapped in a tortilla and cut in half. The portions was enough for one hungry person. I also ordered the salmon platter option with brown rice, sautéed veggies and jerk sauce. The jerk sauce was a good flavor and little spicy. The brown rice was accompanied with brown beans and the salmon cooked well. I was given a lot of salmon, enough to share a piece with someone else. The meal was so filling I couldn't eat it all. Wish I lived closer get smoothies everyday. I've never actually went into the store. This is my first time ordering via Uber eats and the previous time someone ordered it for me. Will visit soon!"
"Wow. Delicious food and juice smoothies. I saw the write up in the paper about healthy food 500 calories or less for $10 or less. I met my friend and we enjoyed a couple hours chanting as we accessed the east order menu at the kiosk and viola, tasty salads, and drinks appears as time passed. The staff is great, very helpful and the food is fresh like it was picked that morning. The flavors are well thought out and very satisfying. I got green juice smooths with kale, banana and pineapple- so yummy , and a Greek salad. Fuel did not disappoint. I highly recommend."
"Yummy! I had sabich & my friend had a Falafel sandwich. I was in Israel recently & this place is as good!"
"Got take-out here recently with my wife and daughter on a quick one-night stop in Philly. Great meal and exactly what fast-casual should be: reliable (we were a bit lost in a new city; many nearby restaurants were a bit dodgy), large portions (we ate leftovers for two days), and not too pricey.My wife and I each got a chicken shawarma bowl, which were yummy and huge; we easily could have just shared one. Tons of chicken and rice, plus they really loaded up the toppings for us, so we ended up having a good amount of vegetation. We got chicken fingers and fries for my toddler, which was also huge and very satisfying for her. Service at this location was very helpful (we hadn't been to a Pita Chip before)."
"Delcious vegetarian restaurant. They have a easy online ordering site. Its a unique little place. I love the food, its a generous portion size and taste yummy!"
"Made a lunch time visit here on a hot summer day. The inside dining area was set up for diners, but sadly I was the only person inside and the AC was not kicking. The manager and cook were in the kitchen and whatever they were working on smelled good. The manager "Nick" happily sat me down at a table and took my order, answering any question I asked about the menu while making his recommendations.The veggie samosa appetizer came two per order. They were not overly greasy and appeared fresh. Digging in they had typical size, fresh flavors of potato and peas and a spicy kick. I would order them again. The second samosa was still tasty as a next day leftover.For bread I went against my usual plain naan or roti and tried Chicken Paratha which is a stuffed Naan with minced spiced chicken that's cooked in tandoori. They came in four pieces, were buttered and ok, but for me I'll try their plain or garlic/onion naan next visit.Mango Lassi - had a thick smoothie consistency, yogurt flavors, some mango and wasn't overly sweet. I just needed more mango, but it was refreshing on a hot day albeit full bodied.The main event for lunch was Chicken Biryani - $14 - big portion which could easily feed two people, mildly flavored but still fresh and tasty. I give it a 5-6 out of 10. The dish needed more herbs and spices. I've been spoiled by home cooked biryani, but I'm not knocking this dish, it was fresh and above average. It came with mint chutney, tamarind sauce and a yogurt sauce. For just over $30 I had enough food to take home and make another two meals. While I was eating lunch I noticed a line of food take-out drivers coming in for deliveries so they were busy on that front. Flavor of India is a good addition to the Delco food scene and fills a cuisine need in the area. (Without having to drive the extra distance to Philly for better Indian food.) I would return and try other menu options."
"As I'm new to the West Chester area, I was interested in finding a good Indian restaurant around here. This one was about ten minutes away in Malvern and looked like it had a good selection. I picked up dinner to-go for 3 people. We ordered:-Vegetable Samosas x2: These were a good size, cooked well, and had a great filing. Two pieces per order, so we got two orders.-Paneer Tikka Masala: Sauce was great, but there was not a lot of paneer for an entree.-Channa Masala: Really nicely spiced, and a good portion size.-Chicken Makhani: Again a delicious sauce, but the amount of chicken was lacking.-Garlic Naan x2: Delicious! Warm and fluffy with an intoxicating garlic smell that almost made me rip into the bag on the way home. Definitely recommend getting two orders for 3 people.We received three nice containers of rice on the side.Next time I'd like to try their Kati rolls as the pictures look mouth-watering!Service was friendly and food was ready on-time.Overall I thought everything had good flavors and the quality was good. However, I felt the portion sizes for the entrees were not up to par. We each got a few pieces of chicken and paneer and then were left with an abundance of sauce. And extra sauce is great! But for the amount of food we ordered I expected to have more protein in the entrees (especially the paneer) and be a little fuller by the end of the meal. If you want to order here I think you will enjoy the food - maybe just order a little extra!"
"This was one of my go to spots for lunch when I was in the office. I haven't been to the office much since the pandemic and was so happy to see this business still open and thriving! Great smoothie and açai options to choose from. Everything is freshly made right in front of you. I always order the chipotle black bean burger or açai bowl. This time I went with the classic samba bowl, which is a tad bit pricey but they do give you a generous amount of fresh fruit and granola. Plus it's delicious and healthy so you can't go wrong with it.Service has always been great here. I just noticed for the first time that they have a beyond burger + smoothie combo for a great deal so I'll definitely check that out next time."
"This restaurant has 2 tables and 2 separate rolls.of seating. Really reminds you of a small vietnamese Cafe. This place was on my husband's list of food places to check-out. We were greeted and seated right away. They also have off menu specials. Ofcourse, I tried the Banh Canh cau which is a seafood tapioca noodle soup dish. This was pretty good. All of the ingredients were fresh and even the quail eggs. I really enjoyed the chewy noodles and soup broth.My husband got the bo kho with bread. He said that was good. I added goi cuon which is a summer roll (rice roll with shrimp, pork, lettuce and vermicelli noodles), I was in for a surprise with these rolls. They were huge. The sauce was phenomenal. Homemade sauce that tasted better then any other I have ever had. So you know I had to order one to go.We also got a Vietnamese hoagie to go (dac biet).Have not tried it yet but will report back.Parking is a plenty and metered outside. They close earlier then most restaurants. The plus is they also do catering. The staff were very nice and spoke English very well."

I don't go out of my way to eat plant-based, but this spot was pretty good. I had the hearts of Palm 'Fish' Taco, which has grilled corn slaw, cilantro lime vinaigrette, and chipotle crema. I liked it. I enjoyed the crunch on the breaded "fish" and the portion was a decent size (it came out as two big taco--probably the size of your hand--and not three small ones like I'm used to). We also had a queso dip, the double chorizo burger, and Mexican street corn. The street corn was good! I'd get it again. My partner said the burger wasn't anything special--it wasn't bad but it didn't impress.The ambiance is quite dark, but it feels more intimate that way. I remember walking out after my meal and my eyes felt so unadjusted to the bright light outside. As for service, I do feel like the service here is a little all over the place. Our server was nice, but it felt like once he dropped off the food, we couldn't really get ahold of him. He was just in and out. One of the other servers actually dropped off a plate of sweet plantains that we didn't order and walked away. We were kind of confused because we didn't remember any of us ordering that, but we couldn't get ahold of our server and it had been sitting on our table for a while, so we just ate it. Other than that, it was a good experience. It's refreshing to eat plant-based foods with spices and flavor.

Chez Novaks is an affordable, unique, price-fixe French dining experience that should not be missed by foodies and adventurists alike. Apparently, there's live music at night too!Must get: soup (with fish), chicken, warm apple pie, tiramisuMeh: duck and terrine, grilled avocadoMissed out: shrimp and fishIt is always a wonderous occasion when I hear about a hole-in-the-wall establishment run by a passionate owner with an emphasis on food and great service. While each table may be lit by a different lamp and the overall decor makes you contemplate on the global theme, the dishes are always constant and delicious. There's a price fixe ($25) for either app+main, or main+dessert. My personal recommendation is to order the former, and purchase desserts to save you a few dollars. During your dinner, you'll be greeted by the amicable Chef Evans, who clearly has a special place in all of the local favorites' hearts and guts. The menus may not change over time, but they are tried and true.Of the meals, I personally loved the squash soup (definitely get the fish add-on for free), the spicy chicken and the lamb sausage. The plating overall is simple but elegant and the flavors marry well with glaze/sauces. The chicken is an absolutely must-get and the lamb sausage incredibly tender and juicy. I was not a fan of the grilled avocado or the terrine, as neither brought the same charm or appeal as the other favorites. Given the plate sizes are small/medium, I highly advocate getting the desserts, as they are made in house and worth shaving a few ounces from your wallet and into your gut.Of note, there is ample street parking, which is free after 6pm.Overall, this is a wonderful spot to bring a date or friends. It's BYOB and affordable. If you like a quiet, romantic date night, it may be challenging due to space confinement, but you'll have great time nevertheless.Food: 5 starsService: 4-5 starsAmbiance: 3-4 stars (can be loud)Price: 5 stars

Ate here today for lunch.Parking: little plaza with some parking. You can dine in. They have a small dining area. The counter person was very nice. I had the chicken shawarma however it was different than the normal in regards to the toppings. I'm use to choices: onions, red cabbage, peppers' tabouli' a white sauce..... this came in a pita with hummus and there was a self serve area with sauerkraut ( never had that on shawarma!), hot topping' rice and a mixture of cauliflower and carrots. Very different!! The taste was pretty good. I felt the prices were a little high. I would go back here again.

Came across this gem last week and we are HOOKED! We are not even vegetarians! Everything is so fresh and delicious! I do not even need or notice theres no meat in my lunch! Customer service is absolutely amazing. Love the option to substitute items. Keep up the great work, guys!

"The food here is really delicious! I was pleasantly surprised from my first visit to now my fifth. The black bean burger, the cauliflower and chickpea tacos, the jammed yam, and the sushi bowl are all winners. I am a meat lover, but I find myself completely satisfied with any of the vegetarian meals I mentioned here. In fact, if I had to give up meat, this would be one of my go-to meal places. It's that good! Everything looks and tastes good really fresh and, I kid you not, will put a smile on your face."
"Delicious food and nice service. Sat outside on such a beautiful day. Good hours. Only place we could find open with as many vegetarian options. So glad we stumbled upon it."
"PHILADELPHIA, PA/Point Breeze: a new South Philly location of this popular restaurant, LUHV FOOD has the delicious vegan food that you have been looking for.An amazing selection of sandwiches like a reuben, bacon, egg, and cheese, cheesesteak, ch'ken parmesan, tuna salad, and so much more, along with hearty salads, soups, sides, and dessert....all at REASONABLE prices! Hey, Luhv, can we get one of your locations in New Jersey?! They even have a deli where you can buy items by the pound and Luhv's own branded products.This location allowed us to dine inside with Brie (leashed dogs allowed) and there are 2 spaces: a small downstairs area and a surprisingly big upstairs space. You can also dine at their outdoor tables. A cute spot with great food and makes the wallet happy."
"I'm typically skeptical of restaurants that claim to specialize in both sushi and some other type of cuisine. I have to admit though that Otaka was pleasantly surprising. I had the Ichi Spicy Ramen and it was fantastic. The noodles had just the right amount of firmness, the broth was flavorful but not overly salty, and the pork was tender and tasty. I also had an eel and avocado roll because I had to know if Otaka could truly be good at both sushi and ramen. Turns out they are! The service was also great. Very helpful and people seemed genuinely happy to be there. I'm so glad they decided to open in Newtown Square. I'm definitely looking forward to going back."
"A unique and mission-based addition to Main St that serves zero proof drinks (that taste real though) and vegan food. We came here to throw our friend a little sprinkle, which was perfect so we could enjoy some specialty drinks altogether. As someone who enjoys cocktails and eats meat, I still had an enjoyable experience, especially with the kind service. The one con we experienced was the cleanliness - our table was sticky upon arrival and many of our water glasses had to be returned due to being dirty."
"The Pad See Ew is one of my new favorites. I chose mild spice level and the flavor was great. Generous amount of egg and overall good portion size for the price."
"Great cup of coffee... I popped in to grab a cup of coffee for me and a matcha for my girlfriend and we were not disappointed. Will be back to try some of the pastries. Will check out there outdoor garden area when the weather gets warmer."
"We stopped by Gleaner's Cafe for a coffee when we were exploring the South 9th Street Italian Market shopping district last Saturday. It's TINY. But also very cute. And the service was great! Very charming - check it out if you need a coffee in the area! FYI - It's cash only!"
"Really fun! Nice staff, friendly service and excellent variety of happy hour specials! They've outside seating, the lemon drops were fantastic, and we both enjoyed the jerk chicken quesadillas. Go there you'll have fun!"
"Yelp led me here based on great ratings, and the experience was great enough such that I won't deviate from the great ratings it's received from other reviewers. Masala Kitchen is by no means fine dining, but rather a more fast casual Indian vegetarian street food type experience where food is cooked to order fresh. It's located inside the farmers market building which I wasn't aware of until I arrived. The service (5/5) from the guy taking food orders and delivering food to the tables was super friendly and pleasant, especially for a place which doesn't have formal waiter service. He definitely took pride in running the business and making sure customers were happy, which is a vibe I don't often get from Indian eateries. We ordered the chole bhature, a kati roll, & masala dosa. The chole bhature (3.5/5) was a little watery and wasn't the best of preparations I've had, but it was decent and came with 2 great big pieces of the bhature/bread. The Kati roll (4.5/5) came cut up into 4 pieces and was incredibly flavorful with the paneer and fillings, but some people dining with me found it too spicy while others raved about it and felt it was perfect. The masala dosa (4/5) was a decent portion for sharing and tasted good, but nothing to rival places which specialize in dosas. They have several Indian dessert options...we tried some jalebi (4.5/5) which was a perfect way to end the meal. The prices were very reasonable and food tasty, so rounding up to 5 stars given it's an informal street food type place with friendly ownership aimed at pleasing all dining guests. Others may be disappointed if expecting a more formal restaurant experience (which this place isn't trying to be)."
"Had takeout for the 2nd time in 3 years and def regret not being back sooner. Food quality was high and the flavors were bold and authentic. Really excellent take on Thai classics"
"Huge selection of vegetarian food and all of it sounds amazing. I suffered severe decision paralysis. I think next time, I'll have to bring a huge group in order to try everything, because I'm sure it's all good. They've got milk teas and fruit smoothies, too, and the texture of the boba in the milk tea I got was perfect.Quick notes on the food: -get the peking duck. This is the best vegetarian version of it I've eaten, and it's really pretty good! The soft warm buns are excellent, the duck is a bit tough on the outside instead of crispy but the overall mouthfeel is like a less-greasy (healthier!) duck-the sizzling tofu was just okay. A bit too salty, a bit too sweet, but otherwise flat on flavor.-vegetarian meat shumai was mushroomy and lovelyPlenty of seating with modern casual decor. Service was friendly and pretty fast! Prices were reasonable. They prefer cash over card but they do accept it.I will definitely be back to try more! Hopefully, I'll bump this up to a five, but for my first visit, it's a very solid four."
"I was treated to a delicious Mediterranean platter from here last night! I believe my friend spent about $55 and it served about 15 of us for lighter noshing. It was a really nice option for entertaining that I'll have to keep in mind for shindigs I host in the future. The grape leaves were jammed packed and wonderful. The Israeli salad had the right amount of oil and fresh diced veggies. The hummus was creamy enough and had a nice zing of lemon. The falafel, even cold was tasty and had a nice crunchy outer shell/soft interior ratio. The barley salad was also flavorful and contained a nice amount of veggies and herbs. Not one bite was just barley. I didn't have the pita, but the triangles were decent sized and lightly toasted. It served as a good "utensil" for my dining companions. The platter was well received by all! It's kosher too, for anyone looking. They have dine in options as well as delivery."
"Let me tell you how this place speaks for itself without speaking. I was walking by and noticed the ceiling to floor windows and patrons dining right at tables next to the window. The place was packed and I knew the next time I was in the area I had to check it out. And that's just what I did. As soon as I walked in I felt warm and like I was in for a great experience. The ambiance is inviting and beautiful, I almost thought I was in an art museum. The lighting is just right. There's plenty of space and seating top to bottom. Friendly staff. And who doesn't appreciate a well kept restaurant, it was spotless including the rest room.The food is spot on. Best green curry in town. Best tom yum soup. Pad Thai spot on. One thing I've always appreciated with Thai food in general is that it's well seasoned. All the flavors came together well. I didn't feel like anything was missing from any of the dishes. Each dish hit the right notes. You can't go wrong with any of the dishes here really. Especially since you can request your level of spice.One thing to remember here is there's a 3% card processing fee applied when paying by card. Which some restaurants have started to do these days. If that doesn't bother you fine, if it does, make sure you bring plenty of cash to avoid the extra charge.Chatayee is a must visit and multiple follow up visits."
"Vedge has some of the most flavorful and unique vegan and vegetarian dishes I've had. I recently went with a group of my friends, and we had a family style and tried every dish on the menu. My personal favorites were the Smoked Portobello Carpaccio (very fresh and light), Spicy Dan Dan Noodles (definitely does have a kick so be prepared), and the Brassicas Hot Pot with Charred Caullini & Broccoli (the pho broth was so good). The service was professional and our server had great conversation. The old mansion is charming and a great date night place. The prices are on the higher end, so be prepared. Would definitely love to come back again."
"What a hidden gem! This is my all time favorite Korean restaurant. The name DuBu actually translate to "tofu" so this place specializes in tofu dishes. I'm a sucker for tofu so I got so excited when I saw all these options that included tofu. Usually at Korean restaurants I either go for the spicy squid, tofu soup, or the galbi ribs. I can't believe they have the spicy squid with tofu option. That's like two of my favorite protein in one dish, of course I cannot resist! We ended up ordering the spicy squid tofu and my partner got the spicy pork kimchi tofu. I like how the sauces are different in both of the dishes. They lean towards of a sweet and savory type of sauce combo. I definitely like the squid one better. It is also not spicy which is good because we're not the best with hot spicy. Okay let's talk about the bonchon. They are unbelievably generous with the complimentary side dishes they serve. They came out with marinated short ribs, fried fish, broccoli, side salad, and kimchi! You can also ask for unlimited refills on any of the dishes and the staffs are so friendly and nonjudgmental. Although items like the salad and broccoli are kind of a strange Korean bonchon, we still enjoyed those vegetables. The short ribs were so good my partner couldn't stop talking about it. The entree portion sizes are huge! You can easily share one of those entree with two people. We ended up taking half of it to go which was the perfect amount for another meal. Some of the bonchon we didn't finish so we also packed that to go as well.Side note on the water they serve - it's infused with barley tea. That's why is has an ashy taste! (Barley tea is healthy for you and good for digestion) This place is located right next to the HMart so if you're ever shopping for your Asian grocery, this is a place you can't miss! I can't wait to go back again."
"Duke's Cafe is located in the office building at 100 Witmer Avenue, and is easy to miss without road nor large building signs anywhere in sight. Still, it is worth exploring until found because you are in for a treat for breakfast or lunch If you do. This Black woman owned/operated kitchen caters primarily the tenants in the four story edifice, but were certainly happy to see an outsider there to check them out. I parked in the ample back parking lot and then walked the first floor halls until I found Duke's at the far left (east) of the building. The space was clean with oldie soul music filling the room. I scanned in to order from my phone, but also could have just placed my order directly with Rai, the owner's niece who was a one person show this day. I ordered Cloud 9, a combination of a french toast sandwich filled with spicy sausage links, eggs, cheese and tasty sauce. With side cup of breakfast syrup, it was almost more than I could eat, but delicious all the way down. The cross section of textures and flavors made it both unusual and unexpectedly delectable. Half would have been enough for me, but I just couldn't leave anything behind or in a doggy bag when it was awesome right off the grill, and I had watched Rai prepare everything from scratch. Well worth the morning cruise from home to try Duke's, even at 30 minutes. I'm told there is a second Cafe not far from this joint - definitely a credit to their work ethic and culinary success. Will track it down as soon as possible."
"Small coffee shop on Girard with vegetarian and vegan options. Tried the egg breakfast sandwich on a bagel, which was something different, but the flavor was alright. Americano and coffee is standard, and the matcha latte here is a good flavor. They also have other muffins, breads and treats to go with your coffee."
"My go-to spot for Chinese delivery. I love their shrimp fried rice and chicken lo mein. So tasty! Always very quick and friendly delivery. I'm about to order again right now..."
"I enjoyed the healthy green shake freebie and had to readjust my work lunch hour just so I could get it. I also saw a buffalo chicken cheesesteak special and don't stop by this particular place often enough. So I picked that up too and it was delicious! I was surprised that it wasn't actually a cheesesteak. Cheesy gooeyness, enough "meat", and the bread didn't stick out for me but it is bread and it is fine I think. It could be Merzbacher's for all I know lol. Staff is friendly and environment is an average size but nothing sticks out for me about it. Overall, I still like your nearby "nemesis" PLNT burger more. I also didn't have a chance to ask your store to consider offering TooGoodToGo like PLNT does. You can't go wrong with choosing Hip City for your fast food vegan needs."
"Dined here for the first time last night and thought the food, service and ambiance were great! A small, quiet and clean restaurant with dim lighting. Majority of the people were actually dining alone. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. We picked spice level 3 for all dishes and she let us know she could always bring out extra spice if we want it hotter.We ordered the papaya salad, chicken pad Thai and tofu green curry to share. Everything was delicious!Papaya salad was nice and refreshing. Pretty presentation and a nice palette cleanser. The pad Thai was tasty, but was not the best I ever had. I'd still recommend it, but next time I will try a different noodle dish. Green curry was flavorful and a bit more liquidy than others. Great flavors and very filling.Byo spot with great prices. Highly recommend for a nice casual Thai dinner!"
"Palm Tree market never disappoints. Today was my first time in their NoLibs location, which is about twice the size of their other markets.Ordering at the deli counter was quick and easy, and by the time I grabbed a couple snacks and headed to the register, my wrap was already ready. I love that each location offers very consistent products. The deli meats and salads are always fresh and delicious, and the employees are always friendly. You also cannot beat the snack options. I'm amazed by how much they manage to stock in these stores! Don't sleep on the cold cases, which have a nice variety of fresh fruits, veggies, cheese and other staples. The fresh cut fruit is always delicious year-round. I'm not a big fruit person but even I can get on board when Palm Tree does all the work of chopping it up for me!"
