Very clean, very good food, excellent service. We've been to many food places in Philly, but this one is THE BEST. Super friendly owner who puts in his 100% effort no matter what. Order pretty much anything and it will be delicious.
We came with big expectations due to google reviews, and it didn’t disappoint us at all, service is as good as it can be, and food is tasty and satisfying, we’ll definitely come back to taste other dishes.
This was a very good experience, we just wanted to have a simple lunch, but the owner and staff here gave me a very good experience!

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.

It tasted just like the one I had in Korea!The owner is very friendly, the food is delicious, and it is clean. I would 200% visit again~~!!The meat dumplings are really delicious! So delicious!!In general, fried foods are delicious! I don't often eat fried food outside because it's not that tasty, but it was actually better than eating it at home!I ate Dolsot Bulgogi Bibimbap and my friends ate different dishes, and all of them were delicious:-)

This is the first Korean restaurant I've been to in downtown Phila, and it was clean and the food was very delicious ^^The pork and kimchi stew is a bit sweet, but it's a rice thief... I emptied a bowl of ramen and a bowl of oden, and then ate a bowl of rice in the kimchi stew.^^I was so busy eating that I couldn't even take a picture ㅠㅠ
A hidden gem in Philly! Service and food were both excellent. Highly recommend for an authentic Korean food.

I usually never leave reviews but this was honestly the best Korean food I’ve ever had in Philly! All the dishes were seasoned perfectly and so good!

I have been and ordered a lot in a different Korean restaurant but Namchon is the best! Their bibimbap, bibimbob, and tkeokboki with cheese are the best that I can eat all day every day!
