“Fish Fried Friday!!! My coworkers told me about this place! 😲 Omg, their food is so damn good!!! The fried whiting fish was amazing, hot, and crispy. I had 2 sides, potato salad and fresh green beans. I will definitely be back on Wednesday to try the $1 shrimp. The portions are huge, too. Y'all have to try their food. It's worth it!“

“Found off the Hook on Google maps and figured I would give it a shot based off the reviews. GLAD I DID. Great food, a lot of food for the money, very nice and laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend, the fried shrimp platter. WOW. I will be back.

“Jalaf rice with mackerel was delicious, and the portions are HUGE. Easily two meals worth. Their hot sauce is super flavorful and packs a punch! The restaurant was clean, colorful, and all of the staff was friendly and helpful. If you’ve never tried west african food just tell Aunty K what you like and take her recommendation on what to get!“

“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.“

“Always a Pleasure to have a Pleasure Platter. The lobster Bisque is my favorite.“

The interior might remind you of an old time elegant railroad car with curved ceiling, crystal chandeliers, etc. great place for special occasions.“

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

“I love everything about this place. I started coming here looking for a quick place for lunch close to my job. They have the freshest shrimp rolls with the freshest seafood I’ve ever had? I’m completely addicted. I took my co-workers there for lunch and they all were completely happy with their order. I come here often, and my coworkers said they’re definitely returning also. This place is tops for quality, speed, freshness, presentation all at good prices.

Parking: They have a good sized free parking lot.“

“Great menu, nice bar scene!“

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

“This might be one of the best ayce hot pot places I’ve been to!

You place your orders for meat via an iPad and all other foods (vegetables/fish balls/tofu etc) are self serve like a buffet. The meat comes out quickly and is good quality. The servers are very attentive and do a great job of taking away empty plates and replacing napkins. There are also some prepared foods, fruits, and desserts at the self serve station, as well as a full sauce bar. Drinks are located in the fridge (non alcoholic) and self serve, and are the classic Asian drinks like milk tea, aloe drink, and soy milk.

All tables have one large burner/one pot, so I wouldn’t recommend coming with a part of more than 4-5 people“

“Illata has become our favorite Fitler Square restaurant, and we've been in the neighborhood for 22 years. It's a little gem, nestled on Gray's Ferry Ave just steps from South Street. The staff is extraordinarily pleasant and helpful, and the food is - in a word- exquisite. All delicious, all prepared beautifully, a very balanced menu of seafood, red meat and vegetarian options. Their desserts are divine!
But perhaps the most amazing, and extremely reasonable addition, to the menu is their sourdough bread- hearty and flavorful, with a perfect slightly chewy feel on the tongue. We've taken to order some to go!
Don't miss this extraordinary experience.

“The shrimp smd the crab devil eggs was delicious 😋“

“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.“

“Me and my wife went here 10/30/24 based off of reviews we saw on Google and this place didn't disappoint the food was incredible. Thr price was fair for what we got. The people are very pleasant and the restaurant is clean food is very tasty indeed.“

“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.“

“I really wish I could give a stellar review because the food is absolutely fabulous here. Not to mention, they will modify anything on the menu to food specifications, for instance for me who can't have gluten, eats only seafood and no cheese. Yes, they work with this with ease and everything is delicious.

The reason I can't give an amazing review is because having gone twice now, the first time our service was excellent and the second time more recently the service was very poor. Our food came out at different times to the table and as a group of four it was very disruptive. Also, many tables were turned over before we even got half way through our meal. I'm not sure what happened to be honest. I will say this was not our experience the first time we went and given how amazing the food is we will try it again.

The response from the owner that he would reach out was completely false. It is over 2 weeks now and I have heard nothing. For me, the irony was I was actually planning to come back out. But now…. ?‍♀️.

Dietary restrictions: They will modify any item on the menu to meet your needs. They are very good with handling gluten concerns particularly.“

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

“The Best Restaurant/Bar in all of Conshohocken. Whether you are going for wings and a pitcher with friends or dinner with your family, the food is always good, the service friendly and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Thankful for this neighborhood gem!“

“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.“

“I recently went to Thailand this year and wanted to find a local Philly Thai food spot because I missed it so much. This place did not disappoint!!!!! I am SO excited to go back again. The service was great! The staff was so sweet. The food was incredible!! The menu has a great variety of things so there is something yummy for everyone and it’s BYOB. I can’t wait to try the wings🤤“

“My boyfriend proposed to me here last weekend, and the staff at DePaul’s table were incredibly warm, professional and helped make it so special. They were all in on the surprise, and helped us capture the memories. They paid attention to every little detail. I’m forever grateful ❤️🥂💍“

“Loved it here! A huge part of the good experience was the affordability, how quick the food came out, and the great appetizers. I absolutely loved the gobi manchurian and samosa chaat! Will absolutely be back & will make the drive from Philly.“

“We ordered a medium steak at this restaurant, but both steaks we received were almost well-done. It was clearly overcooked and we pointed this out to our server. She cut into the center of the meat, acknowledged it immediately, and made me a new steak. The new meat was a satisfactory medium cooked steak. After that, the manager came and checked again to make sure there was no problem.
Overall, I think the service here is top notch. The distance between seats is appropriate, so it's not uncomfortable, and the interior is also great. I just think the quality of the steak taste wasn't as great as I expected. I think it's a great place to go to set the mood for a special day, or just have a glass of wine with a light menu. However, if your goal is to experience the best steak taste, we recommend going elsewhere.“

“We have been dining here while visiting from another state at least annually for the last 13 years. The food and service have been consistently excellent and we have had large family gatherings in a private room here. All family members were very pleased with food quality, selection and service. Highly recommended !!!“

“The staff was absolutely lovely from the hostess to the server. The atmosphere was intimate, the decor throughout was very cool. The menu is very fairly priced and the food was incredible. I brought a friend here last night that was visiting from out of town, she can be a hard critic but she left happy. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! I will be back!“

“This is our second time coming as a family (this time for my brother's birthday) and we love it! The food is delicious and the service is great, will definitely look forward to coming again!“

“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.“

“It's in a difficult spot, but the owner is magnificent. I have been eating there for 20 years and the food quality has not changed.

Parking: There is always street parking. And it's usually about a half hour wait. But good things come to those who wait. ;)“

“Excellent Happy Hour!!! Will definitely dine here again!!“

“My daughter and I have been wanting to try the soup flight for a while. Today was the day! We both had the daily lunch soup flight special. We both ordered corned beef sandwiches which were delicious and came with fries, coleslaw, pickle, and the soup flight. For the soup choices I got the cream of potato, split pea, and vegetable beef. My daughter got cream of potato, tomato orzo, and vegetable beef. They were all so good! We can’t wait to go again! Looking forward to coming for dinner and trying the salad bar which also looked delicious. Very friendly service as well!“

“Finally went and boy it was worth it!!! Came from Zerlin (Berlin NJ) and got the chicken hoagie with fries. I have no idea how they keep that roll so flavorful and juicy! The chicken was to die for and perfectly seasoned! I hope you are in Zamden again Friday even though it’s going to be a rain soaker.“
