“The food was wonderful as the service was fast. I couldn’t believe the check. Extremely reasonable for all you get. I’d definitely recommend Kanella to anyone“

“I had a great brunch. Loved the atmosphere. Food was excellent. I’ll definitely be back“

“It’s such a treat to find such a rare gem of original Mexican barbacoa in Philly of all places!“

“Shrimp Tacos crazy good… crab guacamole delish“

“Both the food and the service are Excellent.“

“The staff and patrons were all amazing! I felt the brotherly love Philly and the grease was on the bag before I opened it; so that was a good sign! I got the Chicken Cheesesteak my friend got the beef. Meat was seasoned and cut up nicely; however, the onions were laid on top of the meat in the hoagie and not chopped up with the meat. I think chopping them up together makes a more cohesive hoagie. Would also like to add bell peppers and not just hot peppers. The bread was also a little thick and made the hoagie harder to bite and more chewy. I toasted the bread later and that helped make it easier to chew. The bathroom was a tiny room, but Im glad they had one and it was fully stocked with toilet paper. Super cute establishment.“

“We dined here while visiting Philly for the weekend. We managed to walk in, but the restaurant is small and intimate so a reservation is probably best. It is also BYOB, so remember to bring a bottle of wine if you want something to drink.

The menu is clearly marked with gluten-free options, making ordering easy. Our server asked about allergies upfront and was confident handling the request when we noted my partner has Celiac (we mentioned it as a gluten allergy to the staff). We ordered the seared duck leg confit and the steak au poivre, and both were excellent. My partner had no symptoms the following day. We did not ask specific questions about shared kitchen space, but the clear labeling and great atmosphere made for an excellent dinner.“

“Great covered outdoor patio along with tasty food - perfect combination.“

“Unique food, cozy, candlelit atmosphere. Our group enjoyed it tremendously. Highly recommend.“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

“Gran Caffe L’Aquila has a beautiful atmosphere and some genuinely excellent products. The latte was expertly made with gorgeous latte art, and both the coffee and gelato were absolutely delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of what they serve.
Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food and drinks. Most of the staff came across as dismissive and unfriendly, which took away from what could have been a wonderful experience.
The only one exception to this was Luca, who was welcoming, professional, genuinely kind, and knowledgeable. He made us feel appreciated as guests and stood out in the best way possible.
At the end of the day, hospitality is about making people feel welcome.
The rest of the team could certainly take note. If the level of service matched the quality of the coffee and gelato, this would easily be a five-star experience.“

“Traveled from TX knowing my husband and I had to try this legendary place!
Ordered a philly, but it was the huge one you find youtube reviews on. It had pastrami, mushroom, cheese, onions, and brisket on a warm toasted loaf. Sandwich was huge! Split it with my husband and we didnt even finish half of our half.
Cant wait to go back and try more the next time I'm in NJ.
Service was great and the deli took you back in time. Only regret is that I didn't order a dessert to go.“

“We have eaten here several times and have always enjoyed great service and excellent food!!“

“Claire was awesome upstairs at the bar!!! Her recommendations were amazing for food and spirits!“

“I had the Tomo roll. Best roll I ever had. Great combination of flavors.“

“I absolutely love Taco Heart! Having lived in Austin for many years, I often crave authentic breakfast tacos and jalapeño crema salsa, both of which can be hard to find. Taco Heart is my GoTo spot now that I live in Philadelphia. The food and drinks, the vibe, the music, and the location are all exactly right.

One recent Saturday, Nano even let us stay in the restaurant well past closing time while a strong storm blew through. We got to sit inside, warm and dry, and watch the torrential wind and rain and eat his delicious food. It was amazing.

Can't say enough good things about Taco Heart!!!!“

“Excellent Food & Amazing Service 👍👍“

“The ambience was great! On a super hot summer day, it was super cool inside. The restaurant/restroom was clean, super clean!!! The servers were very professional. My brother suggested this place and it is a 10 out of 10. The herbs were super fresh and the Pho was refreshing! I’m going back fa sure!! 🍲✔💯“

“Love the breakfast basket!“

“Food was delicious and staff was friendly“

“Visiting Philadelphia and wanted an iconic cheese steak . Victory was very good. Three out of the five of us had them and the other two enjoyed a burger and chicken sandwich. Sampled a flight of brews and enjoyed the experience. Would recommend if looking for a sports bar atmosphere. Had a few of the local brews and even bought some to take home.“

“The waitress was wonderful…until I brought my slimy lobster to her attention. I ordered the paella which came with a split lobster and claw. The inside of the claw and tail was really mushy and slimy. The waitress didn’t attempt to fix the order. Also, an 18% gratuity is automatically added.
On another note, the empanadas (beef) were really tasty.“

“Absolutely delicious! Don’t sleep on this great restaurant for eat in or takeout. It’s great every time!“

“I had the opportunity to visit Uchi Philadelphia and decided to try the tasting menu. The food was exceptional, but I’ve always believed that great food tastes even better when it’s served by people who genuinely care—and tonight was a perfect example of that.

Our server, Bre, was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without ever being intrusive, she made the entire experience feel personal and effortless. Every course was explained with enthusiasm, and her positive energy elevated an already incredible meal.

A special shout-out as well to the managers, Kinsey and Ashlyn. It’s easy to see that they have built a culture where hospitality comes first. When the leadership sets the right example, it shows in every interaction with the guests.

The tasting menu was outstanding, but what I’ll remember most is how the team made us feel. That’s the difference between a great restaurant and a truly memorable dining experience.

Thank you, Bre, Kinsey, and Ashlyn, for a wonderful evening. Experiences like this are why I look forward to coming back—and why I’ll continue recommending Uchi Philadelphia to friends and family.“

“Loved dropping in here on a Saturday. Very relaxed vibes walking in here, perfect for a relaxed meet up, coffee or quick bite. My wife and I ordered the Ume Plum Tea, Vietnamese Latte, Khang’s Special Banh Mi, Crispy Tofu Banh Mi, and Doenjang Butter Fries. The Ume Plum Tea is so unique, and their Vietnamese Latte is the best I’ve had. Their food portions are big, and will definitely leave you full. Highly recommend this place!“

“My friends and I have lunch here about 5 times a year before attending shows at the Walnut. The food at Moriarttys is consistently good and our usual waitress, Nicky is the best. Nicky treats us like family and we just love her.“

“Food was delicious! Good vibe!“

“Hi we had a luncheon yesterday 8-4-25 it was a celebration of my cousin’s life. There was 10 of us and they knew what service was outstanding. My cousin always was at your place for breakfast or lunch. It was perfect send off in her memory. The servers went above and beyond to take care of us. I will definitely be back. Donna P“

“Great neighborhood spot in Rittenhouse — awesome vibe, fantastic service. Caesar salad with chicken was a must-order, and the white pizza with olives and mushrooms was cooked to perfection. But the real standout? Their natural wine list — beautifully curated with so many interesting bottles to try. Everything here is done really well. Will definitely be back when in the area. Highly recommend!“

“Honestly surprised more people aren't talking about Tataki Ramen! It’s a quiet, humble spot, but the flavor speaks volumes. Easily my favorite ramen in Philly right now.

The chicken broth is amazingly rich and full-bodied—pure flavor, no doctoring up required. Pair that with their incredible gyoza and you've got a top-tier meal. If you love authentic, soul-warming ramen, put this spot on your list immediately“

“Great desserts. Perfect cap of the night after Dinner in Chinatown.“

“We organized a meeting for our Tech Community here and had a great time! The management and staff did their best for us. The restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere, which is perfect for talking and meeting people. Also, the kitchen is great with many different dishes for every taste. The QR codes made it very easy for everyone to pay for their own food and drinks. Thank you for the great service!“

“The lemon chicken tagine is to die for, and the macaroons are so delightful and flavorful. Soufiane catered for a small gathering and the food, presentation and service was excellent. I can't wait to visit the Cafe in person! Congratulations on your opening!!“

“Beautiful shop, vibe matches the coffee. 10/10 taste /presentation/ barista. A nice stop for coffee truly.“

“Fantastic food. Great spot. Would recommend to anyone.“

“Highly recommend Dizengoff if you’re in Philly and craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors. This cozy spot, from chef Michael Solomonov delivers Israeli street food vibes with serious flavor. The Lamb Köfte wrap was amazing! 🌯 Fresh lamb meatballs, chopped Salad, Sumac Onions, Tehina, Israeli pickel, hot pepper, wrapped in pita Isralie Breakfast also a MUST try! Za’atar Omelette, Labneh, Schug, Olives, Chopped Salad, Pita Our table shared an unbelievably smooth and rich plate of Hummus Yerushalmi 🥙 Beef, Baharat, Pine Nuts, Parsley, served warm with pillowy, freshly baked pita that’s worth the trip alone. The atmosphere is casual and energetic, with friendly staff who are happy to explain the menu. WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS CONCEPT IN BALTIMORE! 🇮🇱 ממש טעים“

“We just had the best breakfast here - amazing food, even better service. A true hole in the wall spot (because it’s tiny but so cute, lots of character!). I got eggs benedict and my husband got a breakfast burrito. We cleaned our plates! We’re from out of town, headed back to the airpot later, and our server offered to fill up our water bottles too. She was a delight. I thanked her for being so lovely and without missing a beat she said “I’ve learned that being mean to people doesn’t make me any taller!”“

“We love Herman’s Coffee both as a business and a customer. They have good coffee and a great environment to start your day!!! +love their collaborations with small businesses 🤩“
