“amazing food. extremely quick service.“

“We called the night before and made reservations for our party of 6 for lunch at 1:30 PM on Saturday (today). We arrived early and we’re seated immediately. Food was delicious and service was friendly and courteous. We had a mix of starters (beef jap chae, Korean fried chicken, Dakgangjeong & chili calamari), entrees (bulgogi, 2 Dolsot Bibimbop & ramen), table bbq (Joo Mul Luk Marinated ribeye & Samgyupsal Thinly sliced pork belly), and drinks. Entrees and table bbq comes with white rice, ban Chan, and veggies. We ate everything and we’re satisfied with happy bellies. The restaurant is quaint, nice atmosphere, and clean. Metered parking is available in front of restaurant. We recommend trying this place, and will be back again.“

“A very good restaurant. I enjoyed the food.“

“I got the fire cheese chicken here for lunch, and the service was excellent and the food was delicious. The cheese chicken was saucy and went well with the rice; it wasn't spicy but was still very flavorful. The side dishes were very tasty as well.“

“Not many Korean places in Philadelphia alone and the bulgogi tasted beautifully. The perfect traditional marination.“

“The honey soy garlic Korean fried Chicken was some of the best I have ever had, if not the best. The Banchan was very good. The Pickled Chayote and Radish (Mu) were the stars for me. The Kimchi was good, but a little too spicy for me (I should've put in on the grill and cooked it a bit). The corn-cheese sausage as amazing. The Brisket was amazing. Pork belly was very good too, but I wish they had some Shiso or Red Leaf, so I could make a ssam. The ssamjang was very doenjang forward. Not sure if they have more than one type, but I prefer mine with more gochujang. Overall, Pocha Street is a must try.“

“Delicious food, friendly service, quick turnaround time, and very fair prices.

The dine-in setup is very casual — there is table service but you order/pay at the counter & self-serve water. There is a lot of natural light inside, a good view of the sidewalk to people-watch, and the two folks running the restaurant while I was there (possibly the owners) were phenomenally gracious hosts. There is a cold case of to-go snacks and drinks. The rice balls are a must try!

Having tried the chicken galbi lunch box and the squid dolsot, I can enthusiastically recommend both, but the dolsot was truly the star of the show in my opinion. The combination of buttery squid, jammy egg, umami & spicy sauce, veggie mix, and that crispy caramelized rice at the bottom is just absolutely magical.

This is an absolute gem of a restaurant.“

“For me, Mr. Pig is now my go to Korean restaurant in my neighborhood. The space is big and well-ventilated - love watching the K-pop videos while enjoying. Staff is welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The menu is comprehensive, if you don't want to do BBQ, and you can pop in to just have a bowl of raemyung (cold noodles), so don't be intimidated. I just tried the Combo Beef BBQ for dinner, it was very good and plentiful. The namul (side dishes) are simple yet delicious - I personally love having the potato salad, my favorite. Everything was so yummy, I forgot to take photos. Next time.“

“Best Korean restaurant in SE Pennsylvania.“

“The wait staff is super friendly. The food is delicious. The Korean Stews are our favorites!“

“The food (bulgogi birria tacos with salsa Verde and a side of churros) was fresh, well portioned, incredible tasting, perfect in texture, and drippy in the right way. The churros have a caramel sauce I can't wait to try but I downed all 3 tacos. Thank you!!“

“This was our first time here. The gentleman who helped us was super friendly and described the different flavors. We ended up ordering the sweet & spicy chicken with a side of cheesy fries. The order came out super quick and SO FRESH! The chicken was extra crunchy and the sauce was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I will definitely be retuning to try the rest of the flavors!“

“Stopped in for some lunch with my son after some golf, and it did not disappoint! Junior got the secret sauce rice bowl, and I got some wings for me and the family. The customer service was great and after a short we were able to enjoy our lunch! Great food all the way around, will be returning!“

“Found this spot on Tik Tok! My family and I loved it! The young lady working the counter was very nice, even had yummy samples of the popcorn chicken! We tried the Crunchdogs, Crunchball (beef), Half of chicken and the Beef Bulgogi Taco. It was a real treat and we will be back! 10/10 for sure! 😊“

“First time trying Korean bbq. Our waitress Esther was super sweet and explained everything to a T. The marinated beef and chicken were tasty and the short rib she suggested was delish. We’ll definitely be returning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Wanted to try something different and everything that I saw coming from there had looked good and the smell made your stomach growl. I had the "stir frie noodles" with beef and the spicy 🌶 chicken wings. They were both wonderful! I throughly enjoyed my meal and would definitely go back there again! So glad I tried them!“

“Our first time here and it was amazing and different from the usual eating out! We will be coming back!“

“I liked their Seolleongtang (ox bone soup) and stone pot bimbimbop! Their banchan (side dish) was fresh and yummy. I liked how their seafood pancake was very fluffy and not too oily. But if you’re more into crunchy ones you might not like it!“

“Great authentic Korean food.“

“I've only ever gotten take out here, but the ramen is always so good. I think the best I have had in the city so far. They package to go orders very well, which is great. The sushi boats are also very very good. I highly recommend if you're looking for a good ramen spot in the city.“

“This was my first time at a Hot Pot. My daughter has been wanting to try it and my friend goes there a lot and she recommended it. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice n patient. It was so much to choose from. The location is peaceful and not far so I will be going often. I recommend to try the soup because you can create anything you want! They just keep bringing things as you ask for it. I will try the other foods I see on this fb page it all looks delicious!“

“Go Hyang San Chun is hands down one of the best spots for authentic Korean food! The dishes are packed with traditional flavors, and the banchan (side dishes) are out of this world—there's such a great variety, and each one is so fresh and delicious. The service is also top-notch; the staff is warm and welcoming. The owner is absolutely wonderful—she always makes you feel like part of the family and truly cares about every customer’s experience. If you're looking for a genuine and heartwarming Korean dining experience, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!“

“Food was delicious � and the service was excellent!!!! I would recommend this place, also it BYOB ����awesome sauce ������“

“We visited last Sunday around lunchtime, and it was quite busy. We tried the special spicy bulgogi, which was meant for two people, but the portions were generous enough to share among three. We also ordered the 돈까스, which was much bigger than expected, and the 떡볶이 made a great appetizer. The side dishes were delicious as always! I also appreciate the thoughtful touch of serving warm tea for adults and cold water for kids. Overall, a fantastic experience with generous portions and great service!“

“I bought takeout here when I was living at the nearby Motto/Hilton. Probably the best takeout Korean food I’ve had. The folks who work here were also super friendly. They explained all the differences between the different dishes (bento vs rice plate vs cup bap) and gave me their recommendation as well. Highly recommend, and thanks to the staff for the service.“

“Unique and delicious spot at the Upper Darby H Mart food court. Love to order their jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) takeout. Authentic and chewy with good size portions. Easy to call over the phone. Simple and well priced. Service is excellent.“

“Casual korean fried chicken spot! Saw this on my way home and was craving soy garlic wings so I stopped in.

I got the 10 piece soy garlic wings and it came out to $16 with tax. Service was friendly and quick. The wings themselves are small but the sauce was delicious. I did feel like they could have been a bit crispier - I prefer Cafe Soho or Bonchon just a bit more.“

“If you know what to expect from a Korean dog on a stick, you'll be happy.

I ordered the "potato & sausage." It's a great value: inexpensive, but very filling.

Basically, it's a hotdog, coated in pancake batter, covered in diced potatoes, dusted with sugar, and squirted with ketchup. The whole game is about a marriage of sweet and savory...plus, juxtaposed textures.

The hotdog is salty and smokey, with a juicy and buoyant bite--the hot dog "snap." The batter is chewy and cakey. The potatoes are crisp and creamy. The sugar is sweet. The ketchup brings a burst of vinegary acid that balances the whole thing out.

It's a very particular flavor experience. I'm sure lots of people will think it's gross. If you're one of them, don't order it. If you like this kind of thing, you'll be grateful that there's a truck on campus that serves it.

One caveat: the wait is longer than it should be. So, even if it's not busy/crowded, expect it to take longer than you'd like.“

“I got the tofu curry rice. It came with a lil bit of cucumber kimchi, white rice, steamed tofu, and vegetable curry. It cost $10 and took ~15 minutes.As for the dish itself, the cucumber kimchi was amazing and the portion of the meal was big, I had leftovers. The curry was sweet, not at all savory, and it had the texture of a loosely gleatinzed stock. It might sound bad, but the texture isn't bad when you eat it with rice. Doesnt feel like curry though.The menu seems pretty affordable and expansive. Unfortunately they only accept cash but I would definitely go again!“

“Tucked away in the bustling food court of Upper Darby, Mong Shil Tong Tong is a hidden gem that offers an authentic taste of Korea. This cozy eatery serves up a delightful array of Korean dishes that are both traditional and innovative, capturing the essence of Korean cuisine with every bite. From the sizzling sounds of bulgogi on the grill to the comforting warmth of sundubu-jjigae (soft tofu stew), the menu is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Korea. The restaurant’s commitment to quality and flavor is evident in their popular dishes like the cheese ddeokbokki and crispy cutlet, which are praised for their generous portions and homestyle taste. The friendly atmosphere and the personal touch of service make Mong Shil Tong Tong not just a meal, but a cultural experience that leaves diners longing for more. ?️??“

“This place is great! I passed by so many times then one day finally tried it. I was amazed & dreamed about that burger. So good. Koreans can cook well I should know lol. Everytime I go it’s passed the operating hours now though so sadly it’s been a while but I wont miss it next time. Yummmm. People inside are really nice as well“

“It was fun trying different kind of brewed beer on tap. You can choose 4 kinds of beer from the menu. I like light beer and enjoyed light lager and pilsner ❤️
Burger was so juicy and so tasteful. Also there's no sports blaring on TV so you can enjoy conversation. Pizza was so good including the dough so I ate all the crust. I'll definitely come back here often?“
