This place is awesome. The food, the staff, the service were all top notch. It doesn’t feel like a stuffy 5 star restaurant but your food tastes every bit like it would at a 5 star. It’s BYOB and one of the wine bottle we brought had a cork that disintegrated and they kindly filtered it all out and put it in a decanter for us. Every single course was delicious!! We each got a different appetizer, two different entrées, and two different desserts. Every one of the appetizers was amazing, but I thought the wax beans by far were the best. The carrots were also delicious and everyone really loved the rice noodles too. Each dish was unique and super flavorful!! The steak appetizer was excellent. My scallops were good but not my favorite mix. The desserts were very good and we had to get them to go so I’m sure they would have been even better fresh. I will 1000% be back. Bravo Helm, you know what you’re doing!!!

Helm is outstanding, a neighborhood gem! Super cozy and cute space with incredibly friendly service. We tried almost every dish, the food was so so imaginative and tasty and an incredible value at $60 for 3 courses. One of our party was gluten free and was able to have just about everything on the menu including ice cream sandwich for dessert!

I've been to the majority of the highly regarded restaurants in Philly. To me, oftentimes it's the same old same old, big bill, kind of an assembly line to get you in and out. This place is the opposite. The two guys working are the owners. You can sense that it is their creativity that is being served, and it's not going through a massive buffer zone of 20 different preps and food runners and whomever else, where that creativity and personalization lessens each step of the way. I thought the dishes were way more creative than most places, different flavors for sure. Easily bumped to top of the list of favorite places to eat in the city. Everything I ordered was great.

One of the best meals I've ever had, every dish was creative yet familiar and phenomenal. Atmosphere got a little noisy in the small room and I wish there was an a la carte option, but the byob feel and superb dishes more than made up for it.

Mind blowing food at a surprisingly affordable price. The staff is friendly and one can tell they really care about the place.
My only negative is that I was too full to eat an entire second meal. 20 out of 10.

This is one of the best restaurants I have visited. We had a wonderfully creative diner. There were gourmet of us and everyone got a different dish. We honestly could not pick a favorite. The atmosphere was warm and friendly as were all the servers. I would drive from SC again to eat here. Bravo to the chef and staff.

Truly my favorite restaurant in Philly. The service is amazing. I am always impressed by their rotating menu. You get so much food for the price per person. It’s a great place to bring friends or family. I wish them only success and best.
Absolutely cannot miss this gem in Philadelphia. Cozy space with novel flavor/ingredient combinations. 6/5 stars.
