“The soon du-bu is so soothing and yummy 🍲 Lots of veggie-friendly options on their menu - they’ve got a whole page+ for vegetarians. I would skip the pancake next time, but the sides are amazing and they have great service. Free private parking lot too! I love the peaceful ambiance. This is a great spot for a comfort meal in the winter ❄️“

The food was excellent and tasted very authentic. Everything came out fresh and full of flavor, and you can tell there’s real care put into the preparation. Between the quality of the dishes and the kindness of the staff, the whole experience felt genuine and enjoyable.

“The food is good one of the better black bean noodles I’ve had. My only complaint is not giving me what I ordered which was seafood black bean noodles($20.99) because when I came home there was no seafood in sight so I basically got the regular black bean noodles($12.99).“

“This is my go-to place each time I'm in the food court. The tteobboki with ramen is my absolute favorite. The gimbap is also delicious. I usually prefer to go on a weekday when it's a bit quieter. The owner and her son are both so kind and professional. I enjoy seeing them each time.

Don't overthink it! Go here for the best meal at the food court.“

“yesssssssss! such a good place“

“Kim’s Restaurant is one of the best spots for Korean BBQ in Philadelphia. The meats are high quality and really stand out, which makes the prices completely worth it. The staff is attentive and explains the grilling process if you’re new to it, which makes the experience easy and enjoyable. The restaurant is clean, and the tables are set up well for grilling without feeling cramped. Overall, the combination of great food and solid service makes it a place I’ll keep coming back to.“

“Best food on the Ocean City boardwalk hands down, coffee was also amazing, incredibly friendly service, cant wait to eat there again! run there dont walk!“

“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!“

“This is my first time living in the US since I was born haha.
As a black bean paste fan, I ordered jjamppong at Yonghwaru, which I visited in Philadelphia, USA because I was missing the taste of Korea.
I actually ate everything except the soup.
Was Jjamppong this delicious? I didn't find it particularly attractive in Korea. Maybe it's because it's in America?
Anyway, friendly and delicious!
It’s worth coming here on purpose~~~
I really enjoyed the meal.“

“The Soon Doo Boo soup is surprisingly fantastic. It's some of the best I've ever had. Hot, spicy and really great on a cold day. Sometimes they make it with soft tofu and it's even better. I highly recommend the Soon Doo Bo here! Everything is pretty ok, too, but that soup omg.“

“Second time having it. Food is amazing each time. I ordered in first time and second time doordashed. Presentation is amazing and nice and crispy outside and tender juicy inside. I called to make sure they include pickled radish. Because sometimes other places dont give it unless you request. Owner was nice and kind to offer bigger size radish. And I didnt pick sauce. He included some sauce on the side for me to try. Each time their service is amazing. Offering additional flavor to try. Etc. I cannot wait to try more.
Update. I ate again leftover
Even after several hours, cold one was still so good. Reminded me of authentic Korean chicken I had when I was growing up in korea. Brought me right back to that old memory. Never thought fried chicken would make me sentimental by reminiscing old days......“

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

“Amazing food! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Koreana is hands down one of my favorite quick food spots in Philly. The food is always delicious, fast, and consistently hits the spot-perfect for when you want something satisfying without the wait.

Huge shout‑out to Lily for her incredibly friendly service and to Mieke for being so quick and efficient. They truly make the experience even better and always bring such great energy.

I used to come here all the time with my best friend, and every visit brings back those memories. It’s one of those places that’s more than just food- it’s comfort, familiarity, and good vibes all around.

Highly recommend if you’re in Philly and looking for a go‑to spot that never disappoints.“

“My experience was wonderful the food was delicious the drinks were great! After we had dinner we walked over to the club side and drank some more and just danced the night away! It was awesome thank you so much for letting me celebrate my birthday with you guys! Thank Red Wine you guys are great ! Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful!“

“I love Chinese food, and every time I visit a Chinese restaurant, I try to taste something new. This time I went for the chicken and rice. It was quite spicy, and I really liked it! The only downside is that the place is very crowded and the wait time is long, but everything else is great.“

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

“If you’re looking for delicious Japanese comfort food, this place is definitely worth a visit. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and the spicy crab inari, and both were absolutely amazing. The tonkatsu ramen had a rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and tender toppings that made every bite satisfying. The real surprise, though, was the spicy crab inari—it was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy, and quickly became my favorite dish of the meal. The quality of the food, attention to detail, and great flavors made for an excellent dining experience. I can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend!“

“Tina’s kitchen located in Suburban Station. They have good breakfast. Small place with small amount of tables and chairs. They also make sandwiches and have different Asian dishes. Place is pretty decent all around. Tina and her husband are really nice! Had Turkey BLT on Rye.“

“This was first time here. I got the Spicy Tan Tan Miso Ramen. It was delicious! I will certainly come back. Our cashier was very busy but made sure to be attentive to us, let us know she would be right with us and was extremely pleasant
Her name is Sierra, she is very helpful and pleasant. I would definitely come back.“

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

“To say I’m OBSESSED with this place is a giant understatement. No really, I visit at least once a week and no I won’t ever get tired of it. I love the atmosphere, staff and food. It’s so easy and you just order everything you want and it comes out in seconds ! Seriously love you guys!“

“Another great little hidden gem so many in philadelphia, we had an awesome cold soba noodle salad and spicy marinated cucumbers on the side.The bowl was very big so we were able to share what a nice place.Great place to come and just relax and enjoy nice summer night. People were very nice“

“Love there � dumplings��� i can eat them all day�“

“Never disappoints“

“la comida es lo mejor que hay en el sur de Philadelphia ; todo fantastico , Los tacos ,burritos quesadillas, fajitas tortas riquisimas etc y mucho mas banyan se Los recomiendo“

“A very affordable and nice hot pot/KBBQ experience in the northeast! It's well decorated, has great ambience and some of the ingredients are excellent quality. Some of the ingredients aren't as great though (I recommend staying away from the sausage and spam). The LA Galbi (bulgogi) and lamb were excellent though. Service was really nice, but I strongly recommend taking a picture of the ingredients you order before giving it to your server, they definitely missed a few items we put in. Overall, I had a great time and recommend this for experienced hot pot goers who want an affordable experience in the NE.“
