Noodles in Philadelphia, PA

“We were visiting the China Town in Philadelphia and chose this place based on the existing reviews and our love for noodles. I was recommended to try Thai style spicy beef slice rice noodles and my choice did not disappoint. The meal was delicious and service kind and fast. We were able to get hot tea and iced water as our drink options. 5 stars overall!“

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

“This Mari Mari is inside H Mart z it can be overwhelming with a big crowd . This is my first time trying Mari and they did not disappoint. Most of my rolls were cook rolls and only $11 I believe for 18 rolls . I also had an refreshing lemonade drink with was on a sweet side my good . Will be going to the eat in Mari Mari in center city soon“

“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....“

“Had a great meal and an even better experience at Mana – Modern Chinese. The standout of the evening was the Shiitake Bao — pillowy buns filled with perfectly seasoned shiitake mushrooms. I could easily eat a whole plate of these!

Next up was the Jade Harmony Fried Rice, a vibrant vegetarian dish wok-tossed with fresh mixed vegetables. It was flavorful, beautifully presented, and definitely another highlight.

For the main course, we shared the Clay Pot Braised Salmon — slow-braised in a soy-infused broth with ginger, scallions, Chinese broccoli, basil, and bell peppers. This dish was a favorite among my dinner companions, with the rich, aromatic broth complementing the salmon perfectly.

The only slight miss for me was the Forbidden Ribs. While the ribs themselves were tender and well-prepared, the sweet-sour balsamic soy glaze wasn’t quite to my taste — so that may just be personal preference so I don’t see as negative.

Overall, Mana delivers an elevated and creative take on modern Chinese cuisine. The service was top-notch, the staff attentive, and the atmosphere comfortable. I highly recommend visiting — and I’ll definitely be back!“

“I ordered the fish fillet in garlic sauce thinking it would be sautéed like the chicken in garlic sauce, and it came fried. Due to a medical issue, I can’t eat fried food. When I told our server my situation, she very kindly offered to remake the dish sautéed for no extra charge. It came out so quickly and was absolutely delicious. I really appreciated the accommodation. I will definitely be returning!“

“The fish was great! I had the omakase, but I really say it was kaiseki. The night I visited was super busy, and it seemed like the sushi chef needed a wakiita. It seemed like it maybe would be smoother with the counter for omakase at set times with tables for everything else. Maybe a piece of the counter for a ramen bar? But the food is superb, service spectacular and ambience is nice! Definitely returning.“

“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🤤“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Great local spot for fresh yummy food“

“The service was amazing! They were very friendly, always made sure we had everything we needed, and kept our drinks full. We ordered the soup dumplings and they were delicious, as well as the Thai milk tea. I highly recommend the soup dumplings, especially if you’ve never tried them! One of my favourite comfort foods and full of flavour!“

“Viet Bistro 2 has *the best* vegetarian/vegan pho in the city—hands down! As someone who’s been vegan for years, I can’t begin to explain how rare it is to find a Vietnamese restaurant that serves truly vegan pho (not just veggies tossed into a beef broth). Viet Bistro 2 makes their vegetable broth from scratch, and it is SO flavorful!

Just the other week, I was dealing with significant GI upset. None of the over-the-counter or prescription meds I tried made a difference. But one warm, comforting bowl of their Vegetarian Pho? Total game-changer. It soothed my stomach, and I was finally able to get a good night’s rest.

My partner ordered the steak and beef pho and loved it just as much. I can also vouch for their tofu rolls! So whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or a meat-eater, Viet Bistro 2 has something delicious for you.

If you’re in Philly and haven’t made it to Viet Bistro 2 yet go try their pho! You won’t be disappointed!“

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

“Went here for the first time and Alex, the bartender and server delivered one of the best service experiences of my life! If he tells you you want something, trust you will and love it too! He knows how to read people and the room and connect with literally anyone. It’s magical really. The food he recommended was 10/10. Would come back for more food and more fun with Alex!!!“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“Great atmosphere, service and food.“

“Delicious food! I loved it.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Wow! Delightfully surprised by this place. I didn't expect much, but the food was delicious with excellent flavor and texture. The bowl was big enough that I got lunch and dinner from it, and I truthfully thought it was even better the second time! The smoothie was also spectacular; I got a simple mango and pineapple smoothie but it was so refreshing that I almost wanted to finish it and order another one! Good option for anyone looking for healthier ingredients.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The Pho was delicious 😋 the portions are huge - we struggled to finish our meal. Service was nice... A bit slow but I guess they were full and busy that day! It's a smallish place and a bit crowded to sit but that's how most delicious Pho places are! Would definitely go back.
There is a paid parking lot just next to this place so parking was relatively easy.“

“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.“

“Okay so the thing is when I went to the actual location and dined in everything 11/10 from service to food. Like I’ve been thinking about it since I went and i decided to order delivery today and am so sad will only be dining in for future. Ordered at 1pm my driver was on his way at 1:08?? General tso chicken was tender, great portion, white meat but I think from the steam in the packaging the chicken got soggy and the sauce got loose, like really loose. Wonton noodle soup was packaged very well with noodle dumpling and veg separate from broth, and their dumplings are so good I think they are shrimp - but the broth was not seasoned like it was when I dined in, just bland. Lastly I’m sad to say I won’t even try the spring rolls because they look like they’ve been sitting out for a while but I’m sure they are tasty I just cant get over that they look super crunchy in a bad way. Photos are from when I dined in vs when I got takeout.“

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

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

“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.“

“I rarely take the time to write reviews, but my experience with Jaedan at Honeygrow truly deserves recognition. From the moment I walked in, Jaedan greeted me with an energy that immediately stood out — warm, professional, and sincerely kind. It’s not often you encounter someone who clearly loves what they do and takes pride in making sure every guest leaves happy.

What impressed me most was how attentive and detail-oriented Jaedan was. He noticed I looked undecided about the menu and took a moment to walk me through some of the popular options, asking about my preferences and even suggesting small customizations to make my order perfect. It wasn’t just customer service — it was personalized care. You could tell Jaedan genuinely wanted me to enjoy the meal.

Throughout my visit, he managed to balance efficiency and friendliness perfectly. Even while handling multiple customers, Jaedan never seemed rushed or distracted. Every interaction — from placing my order to handing over my food — felt effortless and polished. He communicated clearly, smiled the entire time, and treated every person in line with the same level of patience and positivity.

When I received my order, everything was fresh, perfectly prepared, and beautifully packed. Jaedan even double-checked that I had everything I needed before I sat down. It’s small gestures like that which make such a big difference.

Beyond great service, there’s just something authentic and uplifting about Jaedan’s personality. You can tell he takes real pride in his work and cares about creating a good atmosphere — not only for the guests but also for his coworkers. It’s the kind of energy that transforms an ordinary lunch stop into a bright spot in your day.

If Honeygrow is lucky enough to have team members like Jaedan, it speaks volumes about their culture and leadership. Every restaurant needs a Jaedan — someone who turns customer service into an art form and makes people feel seen and valued.

Thank you, Jaedan, for your outstanding attitude, professionalism, and kindness. You’ve earned a lifelong customer and a lot of respect for the way you carry yourself. Keep shining — people like you make all the difference!“

“I used to go to Cava but got tired of the bad service and dirty counters. I started grabbing lunch from HoneyGrow 3 weeks ago, and this place rocks! The staff are very nice, restaurant is always clean, food taste fresh and they consistently delivery high level service! Hopefully mgmt is paying the staff great.“

“One of the best Malatang restaurants I've ever been to! The food was excellent and the workers were all very nice and pleasant to talk to. There are also a lot of different bases and ingredients that can appeal to anyone's palate.“

“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 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 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.“

“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.“

“Phenomenal food and exceptional service at a reasonable price point.

Heng Feng is serving quite possibly the best dim sum in the city right now. The crab pork soup dumplings were some of the best I've ever had — juicy, flavorful, and with a wrapping that was juuuust thick enough to securely contain all of the delicious soupy filling. The crystal shrimp dumplings were surprisingly unique — there is a subtle sesame flavor to the wrap that I've never experienced with this dish, they also use whole shrimp for the filling. The garlic cucumber salad was everything I wanted it to be, and went so quickly that I forgot to get a picture of it. Oops!

After demolishing our dim sum spread we followed it up with the Shrimp Ho Fun, a perfectly prepared and incredibly well balanced thick noodle dish — delicious, no notes!

The only thing we had that wasn't super memorable from a flavor/texture standpoint was our dessert, the sweet custard buns. They weren't bad, just not the best I've had. That said they were 100% the most ADORABLE custard buns I've ever had!

Mentioned at the top but it bears repeating, the level of service was exceptional. Fine dining level, in fact. Given how great our overall experience was here it was shocking that this place wasn't more crowded on a Friday night at peak dinner hours. They must not have had a chance to grow a neighborhood following yet since it's fairly newly opened. Highly recommend getting in while it's still easy to grab a table!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“The best customer-friendly service ever! I truly appreciate being treated like a valued customer when spending my hard earned money. I will definitely purchase food at honey grow again.

The stir-fried shrimp with noodles was delicious, and the fruit topped it off perfectly. I enjoyed every bite. Valencia took great care of me and even called me by name, which meant a lot. She also made sure I was comfortable with how my food was packed.

If you enjoy fresh, great tasting food and excellent service, I highly recommend honey grow.“

“Roccp was great and very accommodating. Staff was very friendly and acknowledged my wife and I as we went through line. Rocco should be in Mgt. Thank you. Everyone in that store should get a perk. If you've never been in a store and the staff was as great as they were that means that that they're that good all the time. This comes from retirement from retail 35 years.“

“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. !!!!!“
