Noodles in Philadelphia, PA

“Eggplant yum. Dan Dan noodles yum. Delish.“

“Definitely the best Pho joint in Philly. This is one of the Pho 75 mini-chain restaurants starting in DC & Northern VA area (7 corners). Solid broth, chewy noodles and loads of different cut of meats. Add-on prices are also reasonable ($2.5 for meatballs as an example). Service is just meh... but you don't come here for service....“

“We wanted to try something new in old City. Love the area. There was great smell coming from the place and it drew us in. The food was good and our server was good.“

“Always a must stop when staying in Philly! I crave their cold sesame noodles!!! The fried dumplings are excellent as well!!!“

“we moved to Texas and miss the delicious Indonesian food“

“Great atmosphere, service and food.“

“Delicious food. Great service. Clean and delicious !“

“This place is a GEM hiding in plain sight! The food is GREAT. (The space is a former long-time Chinese-American spot, so don't get worried about the atmosphere or service.)

Curious for a long time and more, I ordered Summer Rolls (#2), Shrimp Summer Rolls (#3), and Spring Rolls (#1). I ate the first two (two of each per order, fyi) and they were SPECTACULAR. Particularly with the table side brown sauce and chili dips that were available. The Shrimp Summer Rolls are filled with veggies, clear noodles and come with two large shrimp. The wrap of the roll is also clear, so you see what you get. GET THIS.

Next, I got three Bahn Mi Hoagies. Pork (#18), Chicken (#19), and Tofu (#20). I had the Pork and Chicken. Like the Rolls, they were GREAT and of course I added the above sides.

Regarding the Spring Roll (#3) and the Tofu Banh Mi hoagie (#20), I brought this to a family member who is part Asian and a Pacific Islander. She said the food was *a ten*.

Finally, I got Fried Dumplings (#12). Same as above. ?

At the end of my visit, pleasantries were exchanged in French (the colonial experience) and it was a perfect finishing touch to this awesome, rather unplanned experience.

GO HERE. SUPPORT SOUTH STREET.

Vegetarian options: My mention family member here is vegetarian and is highly complimentary of the food eaten here.“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“Had a very satisfying meal here. The dumplings were delicious. I tried the boiled and pan-fried dumplings, and I like the boiled ones better. The pan-fried ones looked smaller than in the picture, and the filling was a bit too salty for me. The boiled dumplings were perfect though. The dumpling skin was just the right thickness (not too thick, but also not wonton-wrapper-thin), and the filling was flavorful and juicy. There were probably 1-2 shrimp pieces in each filling.

The scallion pancake was also so good. It was flaky (like a roti) and really not too greasy, which I appreciate because scallion pancakes usually are really greasy. They were very fragrant and just made perfectly.

The beef tendon was also good. It had a good chew, and wasn't cooked down too much, which is how I like it. It was on the saltier side though.

The mushroom meat noodles weren't bad, but probably my least favorite thing out of everything we ordered. Everything else was just really good. The mushroom mix was a bit sour (and not from the picked mustard). The noodles were a bit overcooked and a little bit too thick for my liking. The clear broth it came with was fragrant, light, and comforting though.

Would love to return. Food was delicious and satisfying. Out of everything, my favorites were the boiled dumplings and scallion pancakes. Service was great, and atmosphere was clean and calm (they were playing some jazz music surprisingly). I did find it odd though that the servers rushed to give us the check and made us sign when we were still eating, even though the store was 90% empty (we came in at 11am Saturday). I wasn't sure what that was about, but the service leading to that point had all been fine.“

“Great food! Easy walk from convention center! Enjoy!“

“Oh wow this was an awesome find. Staff were so nice and accommodating, food was fantastic, restaurant is beautiful and spacious. Oh did I mention the awesome prices — what a steal of a deal— only $13 dollars for an amazing hot pot of noodles ????.

We figured it was a great place when the couples we saw leaving the place were smiling and stopped to tell us it was a fun time.“

“Great wonton noodle soup house. Quintessential Chinatown experience. Wonton Soup still pre-Covid priced at $7.50/bowl. Extras inflated the cost but brought me back to lunches and its friends and family. Served with hot tea and appetizer plate of roast pork,duck, and crispy pork belly. Fed four of us at $80 with tip. Come in for a regular meal in Chinatown. No fancy experience but good home cooked meal.“

“I came in person July 5th and only bought a few Inari which were very good. Today July 9th I ordered through Doordash and bought Mari Rolls and Miso Bacon Creamy Udon. OMG!!! I can not BELIEVE that udon is not the best seller. It was DELICIOUS!! It reminds me of an Alfredo but better...WOW!! The Mari rolls were very good as well. HIGHLY recommend this place, it's amazing!!“

“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🤤“

“I’ve been coming to Chengdu Famous Food regularly—it truly feels like my second dining hall. The food is made by authentic chefs and aunties from Sichuan, and it shows: every dish is bursting with flavor, the portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly fair.
What really sets this place apart is the warmth of the service. Every staff member is kind, attentive, and welcoming. It’s rare to find a place that tastes like home and treats you like family.
If you're craving real Sichuan food near Penn or Drexel, this is the spot. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing restaurant featuring high quality sushi and house made noodles. The sushi bar chefs are fun and informative and the servers are knowledgeable and efficient. The quality of the roe/caviar and uni on the sushi dishes really stood out. The hot tea with roasted rice was also very good!“

“The best vegetarian Pho I’ve had in a long time. As well, the seafood Pho is awesome. They have a great take out setup.“

“Great local spot for fresh yummy food“

“Drinks are delicious and amazing! Bartenders are
very nice and attentive! Karaoke is fire!!!! I didn’t try the food yet but everyone around me was, they look like they was enjoying it a lot. I just love all the amazing cocktails! I definitely had an amazing time!“

“Took advantage of a Too Good to Go (get the app!) offer while on vacation in Philly. So glad I did. The pasta was perfect and the pesto absolutely ruined me for all other pestos. Seriously, I have contemplated the 3 hour drive for just that pesto. Super friendly staff as well!“

“DELICIOUS! Wokworks(Temple) came all the way out to my job in Horsham and did not disappoint. The Szechuan Lo Mein may be my future go-to. The spice was right and they don’t skimp on portions. Everyone was very friendly as well!“

“Asian Fresh Kitchen is my new go to for delicious food! Just made my first order yesterday & everything was delicious!“

“I was first brought here around 2001 with a family friend when I was 11 years old and it has been my favorite restaurant ever since. I would come here in highschool, college, and even when I moved away from Philadelphia whenever I got the chance! Love the food and everything about this place!!“

“Enjoying my lunch The atmosphere is beautiful the food delicious the host was amazing and the place was nice and clean a place where you go and enjoy your company the food and don’t forget the cold beverages the strawberry lemonade is unbelievable“

“The overall food and service is great. The person who attended was very kind and helpful. The food was great, we loved the soup and the chicken dish. By asking they can make it spicy and it definitely makes it great for some cold weather.
The best part of these meals are it’s a combo of veggies and meat so it just tastes great.
I would recommend this place and give it 5 star.“

“Having to enjoyed places like Yank Sing in San Francisco, Din Tai Fung in Los Angeles, Lunasia in Pasadena, Boston Seafood in San Gabriel, and many more, this place is among the top and the best value.

Pork Soup Dumplings at $6 and Crystal Shrimp Dumplings at $7.50 is a crazy deal for such quality and taste.

We paid $165 per person ($500 total) on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for a set menu which provided 8 dishes. Vs. Heng Feng paid only $46 for two people enjoying five dishes. I must say, I had a 10x better experience at Heng Feng than 10x more pricier fancy place.

Even the owner was so nice and cool.

Will come back again for sure.“

“Delicious food! I loved it.“

“My First Time Trying This Restaurant. Very Clean , Service was Great. Food came out very quickly. I order. Ginger scallion Lobster, pepper shrimp, seafood fry rice, pan fried noodles with Chinese broccoli. Thai fish, salt & pepper wings. Everything was amazing.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch of Garlic Butter Shrimp with brown rice instead of noodles. Then washed is down with a refreshing Strawberry Guava Lemonade.

Friendly staff, clean location, close to my office building.

I’ll be back to try one of their salads my coworker raves about.“

“Absolutely amazing vegan tofu and noodle dish with Dan Dan sauce with a nutty tahini flavor and chili oil. Their descriptions are really helpful on the menu. Very glad to have them in south philly near us with so many vegan options and gluten free options on top of the regular menu that my husband chose from.“

“This place is a must try if you are in the area. It was delicious.“

“Got to the restaurant and we were seated immediately, given menus, and they seemed to sense as soon as we were ready to order, no waiting involved. The food was amazing! The broth of the beef noodle soup was so rich and hot, the cold sesame noodles were the right level of spicy and very chewy, and the Chinese hamburgers were fresh, warm, and crispy on the outside/soft on the inside (try adding chili oil!) Everything came out very quickly and fed our whole table for such great prices.“

“We wanted to try something new in old City. Love the area. There was great smell coming from the place and it drew us in. The food was good and our server was good.“

“Cheap! This is a noodle factory, and you can see the staff making noodles in the back. They have a few prepared selections that they will heat up for you, including tasty BBQ pork buns. Most of the single serving options they have are about $2. You can also buy homemade Chinese desserts and pounds of fresh noodles.“

“The lady who takes orders here does her best to understand me, and I am grateful for that. I had to leave another Chinese restaurant in the area because he couldn't understand me. The food is better than some other places here. The only thing I don't really like is the atmosphere with the loitering and begging, which makes me not want to stop sometimes. I usually have chicken lo mein and sesame chicken.“

“The best dumplings I've ever had! They're so delicious you don't need sauce; you can't even tell they're vegan. I like the Spinach and Potatoes but my favorite is the Butternut Squash. I buy them frozen from Market at the Fareway to cook anytime. If you love dumplings, you need to try MoMos!“

“The place is very cute. The service is friendly and enthusiastic about explaining their concept.
It’s not celiac friendly, but they do have gluten free option. There’s heavy cross contamination so possible to eat at depending on sensitivity/severity.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options, heavy cross contamination. The staff is willing to check everything for you. Peanut allergies labeled v well.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not handiaccessible . Stairs to get in. Restrooms located on second floor“

“I’m so glad I stumbled upon this restaurant. As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted with fantastic customer service, which confirmed I made the right lunch choice. I got the Chesapeake Crab Stir-fry Bowl and it was DE-LI-CIOUS! I highly recommend all because of Emerald. Thank you! 🩷“

“Leslie, Was the associate that served me and greeted me at the register I cannot say enough on how polite she is how helpful she is, and just the all-around beautiful person and soul and was so very helpful and really turned my day around after having a horrible month to just have a small conversation with me when the dining room was emptied out and she had just a few minutes to spare. She used that time to tell me about One of the desserts I was asking about she was making prior to me talking to her and after our conversation, I wind up purchasing that specific dessert and it was amazing just like her personality once again I just want to say thank you your store is always playing atmosphere is always positive The food is always amazing and fresh and I can’t say enough about this place or Leslie and the rest of the workers that were working with her on that shift awesome team awesome people they knock it out of the park every time so just wanted to leave a positive review because of this. I feel not enough people leave positive reviews. They feel reviews sway more to the negative side and when I get the chance or when the opportunity strikes and you have a very good experience, I mean above and beyond the standard professional experience I want to say it was exceptional if they had 10 stars of 10 stars for this place Thank you to the night crew that was working today Wednesday at 7 o’clock and thank you personally to Leslie. I appreciate your hospitality thank you. !!!!!“

“Lunch at a restaurant serving Fujianese food, which I was unfamiliar with. Very simple, bare bones place for a quick in and out meal.

Pork dumplings - Solid

Peanut butter noodles - Good. Very mild in flavor but nice.

Fishballs - Came out as a soup with meat stuffed in balls of dough. Was expecting something else. But a light, pleasant soup.

Lychee pork - Kind of a higher end version of sweet and sour pork with more emphasis on the sour. Made with deep fried pork and came with tomatoes and broccoli mixed in. Good and would get again.

Fried taro cakes - Mildly flavored with nice texture.

Everything was nice. Overall food was mild and savory. Each table had a squirt bottle of vinegar for garnish. Wish I knew what I should put it on, ha.

Would definitely like to try some of the other items on the menu. A variety of different soups seem to be a highlight at the place.

Excellent prices. Only take cash.“

“Charlie is an amazing dude! It was a busy saturday night but he handled our own blunder and re-prepared our soup for us. The food is absolutely delicious and at a good price. Please come here if you’re looking for good service and food. Thanks again Charlie, go sixers!“

“I had poke for gluten free meal and my wife had chicken noodle. Both meals were great. There were plenty of tables nearby. We will certainly come back to this place when we pass through the PHL airport.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“The servers were so friendly. The food was amazing. The perfect menu we didn't know what to get. The prices were unbelievable we ordered so much food and we didn't break the bank. You must try the scallion pancakes i'm still thinking about how yummy they were.“

“Whether you want to come in for a noodle soup or come with friends for family-style, Sangkee is always my go to. Love the tomato fat beef noodle 😋. Their Canto and Szechuan cuisines are just as good.“

“First time there. Foid and services great“

“I recently made an impromptu stop at honeygrow in Philadelphia, and it turned out to be a pleasant experience. We ordered the Red Curry Noodle Bowl and the Spicy Garlic Noodle Bowl. Both dishes had good flavor, but they really would have been much better if made with more sauce. Without it, they felt a little on the dry side, so I would definitely recommend requesting extra sauce when ordering.

The serving portions were generous and filling, making it a satisfying meal and certainly value for money. The overall atmosphere was casual and inviting, which made it a nice spot for a quick and enjoyable bite. The only other small letdown was that the Coke bottle we ordered was not chilled enough, which would have made the experience even better.

All in all, I would rate my visit a solid 4 stars. Good food, decent service, and a convenient stop if you are in the area.“

“The best Honey Grow I’ve been to in Philadelphia thus far. They’re great on portion sizes and everything was fresh and hot and sealed for greatness. My food was still hot after my 25 min drive back to my destination and the food was just amazing! No skimping on the portions either. Keep up the great work guys!! 👌🏽👍🏽🤗“
