“Dinner, Saturday night. Begin with saying I think this is an excellent, authentic, under the radar classic Italian restaurant with a menu of the standard, classic dishes one would want without any unfamiliar or experimental flourishes. I had pasta puttanesca and honestly feel it's the best puttanesca I've ever had -- large caper berries, anchovies you couldn't see but definitely taste, rich tomato sauce -- really good. Wife had the veal milanese and, again, cooked to perfection, not breaded too heavily, fresh arugula. Calamari appetizer not overbreaded, nor overfried, nice mildly spicy sauce. The bread they serve with the meal -- an important, often overlooked item -- was high quality with thick crust, served with quality olive oil and canellini beans. The one miss of the entire meal was an appetizer they're supposedly known for -- Artichokes Core de Roma. Unfortunately, we found this tasteless. Literally without taste. With that one exception, we found everything about this restaurant high quality and will return.”

“Anchan is a culinary treasure trove that promises an authentic Thai dining experience like no other. From the moment you step foot into this cozy establishment, you’re greeted with warmth & hospitality that’s as genuine as the flavors they serve. Owners Apple & Adam set the tone with their welcoming demeanor, ensuring every visit feels like a homecoming. The staff, armed with a wealth of knowledge about Thai cuisine, guide you through a menu brimming with tantalizing options. From the zesty Tom Yom soup to the delicate vegetable dumplings & refreshing Som Yom salad, each starter sets the stage for a culinary adventure. The Pad Thai, a perennial favorite, delights with its harmonious blend of flavors, while the crispy duck emerges as a true star, boasting unparalleled succulence & flavor. But the delights don’t end there. Anchan’s curry dishes, such as the green curry with vegetables & tofu, showcase the restaurant’s mastery of Thai flavors, leaving taste buds tingling with delight. And let’s not forget the blue of anchan itself, a charming touch that adds to the restaurant’s allure! From the Anchan rice & tea to the coconut ice cream, every dish is a testament to the culinary prowess of this beloved Thai eatery. In a sea of dining options, Anchan stands out as a beacon of excellence, earning its place as a favorite among Thai food enthusiasts. If you’re in search of an unforgettable dining experience that’s as delightful as it is delicious, look no further than Anchan!”

“The pizza is phenomenal, easily the best Kosher Pizza in Philadelphia but I want to call out this restaurant's excellent service.We had placed an order for delivery to a new mother so that she would not have to worry about dinner. Right before the restaurant closed we were notified that the pizza had been delivered to the incorrect address. I called Slices and they were able to put together a new order immediately despite closing within just a few minutes.”

The food is always fresh, tasty and having moved down south trips back up North include a 30 - 40 min drive from New Jersey. Love the family, when we come for food we often talk about our children as we are in the same age group and update on the new things. Visiting soon will be making a trip over.”
