“As soon as we got out from the parking lot, we could smell the barbecue. What makes this place special is that they use charcoal instead of gas. The waiter cooks the meat for you. The cooked meat was put on the side so that it wasn't overcooked. I picked beef tongue. Very short cook time because they were thinly sliced. I dipped them in the sauce that came with the order. Rich in umami flavor. The marinated beef and pork was well seasoned and not overly saturated salty soy sauce. They provide several side dishes but the portion was very small. The lettuce was fresh and big, perfect to wrap the meat. I ordered hot Korean tea. Unfortunately, they served the piping hot tea in a plastic jar. High risk of chemical leeching. It's not a BYOB , you can buy beer there“

“Sometimes you have to abandon what you know (burrito, hamburger, lamb kabob) and try something new like bibimbap (pictured) which means mixing of cooked rice with cool stuff mixed in. Seriously though, a few new places have opened up on the block: no knock on Rosy's Taco Bar, but you just might feel more satisfied at Nam Chon (Korean). The hot bowl/pot cooking technique puts their bibimbap dishes over the top. Come down towards the east end of South St. and check it out. The chef/waiter will give you a free appetizer assortment sampler for your enthusiasm.“

H Mart Philadelphia Korean •

“Me and my family really enjoyed coming to this location H Mart in Philadelphia. Very nice and clean stocked with wide variety of fruits and vegetables frozen good. My only dislike was on the variety of fresh products that were made especially with the brown sticky rice with the nuts and raisins.. And also with the mochi frozen and fresh that was not available. Food court was really outdated. Prices were pretty high.“

Let’s not forget pork buns, which got us started.All together the meal was less than $30 per person and absolutely worth it.“

“We love SavoriBowl as our go to spot when we're a bit too lazy or busy to cook, great poke bowls, good flavor, and the owners are super sweet. The last time my husband went in to pick up, they recognized him and recommended their favorite sauce combinations which we will surely try next time. Their poke bowls are solid, ingredients have been fresh and solid, and I like how easy it is to modify and create your own bowl here, and you get a loyalty discount if you use their system. My only comment is probably not a popular one - it's almost too saucey sometimes - but my husband for example, loves the over sauce and he loves their sauce. For me - I generally love ingredients as is, so sometimes the sauce feels like it overpowers the natural flavor of the vegetables or ingredients - but I do agree that the sauce is delicious! My guess it he majority of people like a very saucey bowl, and I'm the exception. We have also tried their chicken katsu - which was very well made, well fried, to perfection. I hope for the best success of SavoriBowl and will continue supporting them“

“⭐️4.5 - Amazing food that was incredibly unique! Only reason I can’t give 5 full stars is due to the atmosphere/ambiance.?Absolutely loved the food and wide variety of unique options.?Wonderful service. Restaurant was packed but we felt that the server was still attentive and didn’t rush us.? Get the mystery seltzers!! So fun. Happy hour deals are *okay* - 3⭐️. We realized that not everything on the happy hour menu is actually discounted.?Restaurant needs a better playlist! Or at least louder music. The atmosphere was a bit off. You could too easily hear neighboring conversations.“

“Fantastic place inside on the Philadelphia Hmart food court.Their combo deals for 13 are great and they throw 12 rolls of your choice at you, with you choosing the three types of four that you get. The inari are fantastic too, and while the price is a tad high for a food court place, I feel like the quality is good enough to warrant it. Definitely more American style rolls for sure (mayo and katsu and so on) but delicious all the same!The rolls that cost extra are pretty huge, I'd definitely order those again, despite the added cost. You can see how big they are compared to the normal smaller rolls on the side in my photo!I come here on the frequent, and I can never complain about the food!“

Everything in the Handmade Fried Set was perfectly crispy and not greasy, and the Fish Cake Skewers are a great add-on if you're extra hungry (we were stuffed).Heard someone call in to place a takeout catering order and I might have to steal that idea to get a party tray of Rosé Topokki for my next potluck...“

“this place is awesome, i enjoyed it a lot id definitely go here again, even though i dont think i did well with cooking the food, but I can't really blame the restaurant for that, because I'm just generally not a very good cook. everything they did to actually help prepare me for cooking the meal was done well.i especially appreciate the fact that i was able to get a fork when asked. i have dexterity issues due to dyspraxia so i tend to do poorly with chopsticks, and im glad i was given a fork when asked without anyone being condescending to me (something that has happened in the past before), so that makes this a great experience in my book!All in all I'd definitely recommend“

Not to mention that their service was phenomenal!!!There were 7 of us(6 Adults and a child) entered at around 4pm and the restaurant wasn't busy at the time but soon after, all tables were filled w/customers. Lucky us! We ordered 6 portions of Pork Galbi and Naengmyun(cold noodle), a few minutes later Pork Galbi w/side dish sets hit the table and all of us were just...'WOW'....the portion and taste were way beyond our expectations. Throughout the dinner, a young male server and a lady(maybe the owner..)kept us feel super comfortable and served all the extra items promptly. We will definitely go back and try other Korean BBQ soon.“

“There was a 45 min wait at K- POT and the kids were starving. This place is within 5 min drive of Kpot and cheaper too. With 9 people we were given a private room and unlike most K BBQ/hotpot places that all members of the party have to order same, half of our party opted for Kbbq and the other half preferred hotpot. There are cameras in the room so might not be a good idea to try and mix up the food. Service was fast, and to be honest, as we pulled up to this place we almost left coz it looked empty and definitely doesn't have the more hip atmosphere that kpot has. Upon entry, the place is spacious and they have a good selection of sauces and sides for bbq. There was no wait for us. The prices are reasonable and if ever we are in the area, would return !“
