“Fresh seafood, all of it is amazing 5 ⭐️“

“I had snapper soup there. It was an 11 out of a possible 10. My wife had New England clam chowder it is (her score system) a 10 out of 10. Best ever. Unfortunately, they do not currently have snapper soup. Missing the old Bookbinder too. Signed, Old Philadelphia natives.“

“The Food was Fresh ad Incredible“

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!“

“Finally, my husband was able to get a reservation at SAO! It’s honestly crazy how fast spots disappear, gone within seconds.

We’ve been fans since their time at Mawn, so we had high expectations for this new spot, and it did not disappoint. As someone who is Cambodian and grew up in Cambodia for half my life, I can confidently say Chef Phila and his team really delivered.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but the spicy crab gravy noodles were our favorite, packed with bold flavor and real crab meat. A must-order! Every dish was cooked perfectly, and I loved how rich and flavorful everything was.

The space is a bit small, though. I’d love to see them expand so more people can experience Cambodian cuisine.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Overall, it definitely lives up to the hype. Highly recommend if you want to try Cambodian food. This place truly hits the spot!“

“We found Pearl and Mary quite by accident while looking for out door seating so as to enjoy a beautiful Philadelphia evening. And we were not disappointed. Location; perfect, food; perfect, service; exemplary...doesn't get any better👍🏻“

“Came here with my wife, and after we agreed Illata is one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Philadelphia.

You can tell they’ve put care into making the place inviting.“

“Love their seafood boils“

“We went for Valentine's Day. The food was delicious. I got the surf and turf and everything was cooked perfectly. Service was awesome - the hostess, servers and busboys were great. I'm so glad we went last night. Thank you !“

“Hello, I wasn’t sure because of the name but I’m glad I stopped. I had the Hibachi mix vegetable w chucks of chicken and nice size shrimp and fried rice, everything was deliciously fresh my rice was not sticky, and it came with a side salad, Thumps Up to #DrunkeCrab!! top off w a breath mint.“

“Holy moly, this is a true hidden gem. The food was outstanding. A great menu and even better execution. I didn’t take pictures of everything but they wouldn’t do the food justice anyway. The pork chop was one of the best I’ve ever had. If you like pork chops like me you know that a juicy, tender, flavorful pork chop is the holy grail and this chef pulled it off. Everything we had was excellent. I’ll admit, I don’t like pumpkin but I tried my wife’s pumpkin risotto and I may be a convert. It’s amazing what a perfectly cooked pumpkin risotto can do. I can’t wait to come back to Philly and eat here again.

Drinks were also great and the bartender was a seasoned pro. Service all around was easy going and servers were just really nice people.

Run! Don’t know walk…“

“Everything was so good. No fishy or stale flavors. Staff were very friendly and very informative on all the different types of sushi. Will be coming back. The A5 Wagu Uni hand roll was amazing!“

“True hospitality! I arrived last night after evacuating from Florida. Kenja and the executive chef brought me to tears because of the hospitality, warmth and concern for me and the people of Florida. 🫶🏼. This is what a high end restaurant is supposed to be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.“

“Customer service was exceptional. Seating area was a bit small but everyone was so friendly and worked as a team. Honestly the best service I ever had. I went for restaurant week and ordered the shrimp creole. Omg I cleaned my plate and was still salivating over the idea of more when I got home. My partner ordered the crab soup and the salmon. Eyes rolled in the back of his head y’all. Everything was so well and for my first time they left a lasting impression. Would definitely dine here again. I’m just disappointed the shrimp creole isn’t on the regular menu.“

“Omg I was so hungry so I said I would give it a try i know that Pam use to cater for us at Kimberly Clarke.. I had the fish and Chicken wings ate myself silly..her staff Ms Fatine love her was so glad too see her. Omg if you haven't you need too get there, the best I mean the best. I will be back .Thanks so much“

“Hello everyone! I just finished another order from my new favorite seafood spot, and l had to share my experience with you all. This was my second time ordering from here, and I couldn't resist getting the exact same dish again - it's just that good!
Everything about this place is amazing: it's incredibly clean, super organized, and the food? Absolutely delicious. The flavors are truly unforgettable, making it one of my top choices for seafood right now.
What really sets this restaurant apart, though, is the palpable passion. You can tellit's not just about running a business; it's about a genuine love for what they do. The owner pours so much heart and care into everything, and you can taste it in every bite, from the exquisite presentation of the dishes to the incredible flavor. It's clear that every plate is made with immense dedication and love!“

“Do not judge the elevator entrance, this restaurant is my favorite hidden in the open gem. Their broth is deep with flavor and aroma. Lots of options to add into your HotPot. Big tables, lovely atmosphere, a never miss when we visit Philly.“

“I have been going there for years in the food is always very good....“

“Awesome that’s all I can say.“

“I came here to eat with my girlfriend, and we also ordered takeout a different day. We both agreed this is the best sushi we had so far here in the city. Lived here for 5 years, and the sushi and sashimi here are great and taste fresh. The takoyaki unfortunately was very cold when we got it, but I understand it's takeout and would be better in the restaurant. Definitely give this place a try.“

“1)wonderful food and a goodly portion.2) BYOB 3)Not cheap but reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. Hits the Restaurant Trifecta!!!“

“Great seafood restaurant in the Fairmount area!!!“

“You will not be disappointed, from the ambiance, the friendly, professional service and the delicious food!“

“Wonderful meal! This was a great restaurant with great service and fantastic food. Really enjoyed our meal. We had our kids with us who are accustomed to eating out in nicer restaurants. They were welcomed despite it being a quiet restaurant and even had a small kids menu.“

“It's your average Hood Deli. Breaded chicken wings are to die for. No thrills, but always FRESH. Mother and Father own and run the business. Both can be a little brash but overall it's a good place to get a quick bite that isn't expensive. Never ever have to worry about the food not being fresh either.“

“Crabs are great, love the DJ music Lol , will be back for more crabs“

“I stopped by 16th Street Seafood in Philadelphia and it turned out to be a great spot for simple, satisfying seafood. The place is small and casual, but the food comes out fresh and full of flavor. I ordered a fried fish and shrimp combo, and everything was crispy on the outside while still tender inside.

The portions were generous for the price, and the seasoning had that classic Philly takeout style that locals love. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, which makes it a convenient stop if you're craving seafood without the wait of a sit-down restaurant.

Overall, 16th Street Seafood is a solid neighborhood spot for affordable, no-frills seafood that hits the spot. Great for a quick lunch or takeout when you’re in the area.“

“Here’s a cleaned-up, polished version that keeps your voice and reads smoothly for a review:

Please don’t let the outdated atmosphere keep you from experiencing this place. The service was terrific, and the food was even better. I ordered the fish hoagie and could only eat half; there were at least four pieces of fish on it, plus a side of potato salad. The potato salad wasn’t the best, but it wasn’t bad either.

My husband had the fried shrimp platter with six shrimp, coleslaw, and fries. He said it was delicious and only struggled to finish because the portion was so generous. Overall, I’m honestly upset it took me so long to try this spot. I drive by it at least three times a week!

If you want it shorter, more casual, or more enthusiastic, I can tweak the tone in one pass.“

“We visited Pera and it is great to know that the restaurant met expectations and was consistent with the excellent review in the PHiladelphia Inquirer.“

“S & J Seafood is a delightful seafood haven tucked away in the vibrant heart of Philadelphia. This unassuming gem has become a local favorite. Picture this: crispy chicken wings, succulent jumbo shrimp, and mouthwatering seafood platters that transport you straight to the coast. The staff at S & J Seafood is like family—they know your name, your order, and they greet you with a smile. And let’s talk about value: generous portions of good-tasting food that won’t break the bank. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or indulging in a seafood feast, S & J Seafood is where flavor meets community.“

“My first time having their food which came highly recommended from a picky foodie, like myself! We did takeout which was fast and the young lady was extremely nice. The vegetable rice, sweet chili wings and shrimp rolls were delectable! Not one complaint! I will definitely be back!“

“Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Great fresh vegetarian options with delicious tomato broth. Good vibes and music. Clean bathrooms.“

“Our second visit to Village Deli was as good as the first time. I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and my wife gad the chicken salad sandwich. Both were very good. The atmosphere of the place is pleasant and the counter people were very friendly and efficient. We recommend Village Deli and will definitely return.“

“I was skeptical because I absolutely love eating meat. Meat and bbq is a huge part of my life. That being said dinner Saturday night was unbelievably fantastic. I absolutely loved everything that we ordered. Moms meatballs were my favorite dish. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they are vegan. The cocktails were also delicious and strong. A++++ for this restaurant!“

“My boyfriend and I wanted to try something new in the Northern Liberty area as we frequent the area quite a bit, and decided to give Yanaga a try. After just one dine in experience, it's become one of our new favorite spots to eat, and it's definitely on the restaurant rotation for when we go out to eat!

The place is very decked out with anime stickers, manga panels, and the like, while also playing different kinds of anime on the TVs they have on premise. I really recommend the spot, for just the food alone even if you don't like anime.“
