“I didn't get to taste the food because one of her workers had a bad attitude. When dealing with the public professionalism is a must. I could have referred a lot of people that don't know it's there. Your tea was very good and I hope your service gets better. A vegetarian platter would be nice also.“

It was very pleasant and worth the money Mike gave me excellent customer service on the phone. This was my first order I will absolutely order again. Thank you“

Sa’ Kitchen Soul Food • $$
5200 N Broad St, Philadelphia

“5 star experience and service. I was very excited to come to this black owned restaurant in Philadelphia. It was me and my partner 2 year anniversary so we thought we would enjoy the live Jazz show as well. As soon as we walked it we were greeted with by warm smiling faces which made us feel very welcome. The ambience was amazing and decor was very unique We arrive about 30 minutes before the show and headed over to the bar to grab a drink before the show , the cocktails were very good and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. The bar is very small , all the seats were taken so we had to stand. Once we were seated in the jazz lounge area by our waiter he suggested somethings and went over the specials. We started off with the devil eggs and cornbread. For our entrees I had the Fried Chicken and my partner had the prime rib. Everything came out quickly and at the perfect temperature. The manager, host, waiter, and the band were phenomenal. They were even nice enough to give us a shout out and complementary dessert for our anniversary. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. The hospitality here is exceptional.“

“OMG! Yoooooo... This food was soooo good! Best of corner store Chinese food meets African diaspora faves. Soul egg roll... I want one for lunch every day next week. Jerk chicken egg roll... need one for dinner all next week, too. And that Mongolian beef plate with the cabbage?!? Jeez oh man. Made me wanna sit with the chef and get that recipe bc I live in Jersey. Kinda pricey yes but matches with the rise on food costs everywhere these days. And so worth it. I'll be back to try more“

“This cute little cafe is my new favorite spot! I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Although I got take out, this eat in cafe was very clean and nicely decorated. The pretty young girl with the head wrap that took my order was very friendly and greeted me with a smile. I had the combo bang bang shrimp and chicken wing platter with Mac & cheese and yummy yams. The shrimps were big and delicious. The wings were very crispy and had a decent flavor without any sauce. The Mac & Cheese was pretty good too. I also tried the pepper steak over white rice that my daughter got and that was really good too! I think I’ll get the pepper steak next time.“
