If you ever get a chance to go here, you absolutely should. First and most importantly, everything…read moreon the menu is absolutely delicious. This is mostly a ramen place, and I have never had a cause for complaint - but my favourite food on the menu is one of their appetizers bacon wrapped quail eggs. They are always cooked perfectly. They also serve some really amazing platters. The price of the food is completely reasonable. The service is perfect for what this place is. When you walk in you're given a paper menu and a pen and you just check off what it is you want. There is never much talking between you and the waitstaff, but they bring your food to you quickly, fill up your drinks as you run low and are always very polite. One time, I was eating by myself and my waiter noticed I was watching Pokémon on my phone, and offered to put the episode I was watching on the big screen. They're just nice here. As for the ambience, I can't help it, I love it. They have a bunch of different anime themed drawings on the wall, like bleach and one piece. It's adorably kitschy.

There are several other restaurants in the large, mostly Asian strip mall, but some close as early as 8 o'clock on Sunday. We artived pretty late and about 45 minutes before closing, but the staff was really friendly and accommodating. There was only one other couple eating while we were there. We ordered the shrimp tempura udon and the black garlic Ramen. Both dishes were very good and had a lot of flavor. I really liked the black garlic Ramen. The interior of the restaurant is really nice. It definitely adds to experience. I will be back to try some other items on the menu. I really enjoy Ramen on a cold night. Prices were reasonable.

Tried this place twice now. First time was a couple of years ago and the food ranged from mediocre…read moreto bad. Second time was recently, and honestly by accident (ordered to pick up, thought it was a different place, then after ordering, realized it was this place again). And this second time, it was worse. Most of the food was completely bland. Only the soup was inedible, as they poured it into the plastic container when it was way too hot, I got home and found the container melted most of the way through, and tasted like salty plastic. And again, everything else was bland and tasteless. Had to HEAVILY doctor the food at home to make it edible.

The restaurant was clean and decorated with anime art and had some instrumental music playing. Overall good experience, and will be back!

Genji is located inside the Whole Foods in the Ellisburg Circle Shopping Center. (Side note is I…read moregrew up about a mile away from here andI I used to walk or ride my bike to this shopping center.) Anyway, one orders and pays from Genji separately then from Whole Foods. Genji also is credit card only. I have had the ramen a couple of times and it was pretty good but not great. However, it is nice to have this option while in Whole Foods. There are about 5 ramen choices. In addition, Genji offers Bao Buns, Sushi, dumplings and bubble tea. I have had the Bao Buns and their sushi and both again were pretty good. I do find Genji a bit expensive, especially since there is no real servers and the dining/seating area is shared with Whole Foods. There also is a dedicated Ramen shop less the one mile away so I would think their pricing should be more competitive. 3.5 Yelp stars.

Best ramen in the area but not many dedicated ramen joints locally. Very friendly front end staff…read more I had the shoyu ramen and some hibiscus iced tea. Ramen, at least for me and in my humblest of opinions, is affected by the quality of several components. -The richness and depth of flavor of the broth -Texture and way the noodles hold up -appeal of plating -quality of accompaniments -utensils The ramen here is plated nicely, the shoyu egg cooked perfectly and the broth is pretty good - not itoxicasting or addictive like what I have come to expect but pretty good. I give this place extra marks because the execution and eating experience is well above average in thoughtfulness. Your meal comes served on a nice wooden tray, a mini mortar and pestle is provided so that you can grind your own sesame seed, fried garlic and pepper flakes, the soup spoon is a nice size and shallow enough with barely graded circumference of the spoon to prevent chin drips, cuz ummm why waste even one dribble of broth and the chopsticks are nicely ribbed for your eating pleasure. Ahem, no dirty thoughts here, just think about it. Noodles are slippery so the ribbing/design creates the perfect utensil to grab those noodles and transfer with minimum casualty to your anxiously awaiting mouth. All of these factors added up makes Genji Ramen a solid 4 star experience. Don't be skeptical because it is located inside of Whole foods. The dining area is open and great for people watching and you can fill your belly then grab a cart and shop away!!!

Living in South Philly, everyone knows that Ba Le Bakery is the place to get banh mis. But, as good…read moreas they are, sometimes the quality is a little inconsistent. So, I like to check out other places that sell banh mis just to compare. Even though I have ordered from MoonNight several times, I've only ever ordered their banh mis haha. More specifically their lunch special. Their lunch special comes with 1 banh mi + 1 medium drink + 1 pudding for around $15. The restaurant is quite small with very limited seating so I usually prefer to order takeout and I don't prefer to take noodle soups to go. I like the toast on the baguette they use and I think the ratio of toppings to bread is perfect. Food and Drink Ordered: * worth trying - [Chicken Katsu Banh Mi]: I thought that the chicken katsu was a little dry. - [BBQ Chicken Banh Mi*]: The chicken is very juicy and has a good barbecued flavor. It was a pleasant surprise because I originally thought that BBQ chicken was going to mean chicken with BBQ sauce instead of barbequed chicken. - [Green Forest Sunset Tea*]: A subtly sweet raspberry tea with some raspberry pulp. It's very refreshing. - [Egg Pudding*]: I really liked the caramel flavoring of the syrup the pudding was in. It's a bit more firm than most puddings but still very tasty. Would I go back? : It depends. Ba Le Bakery still has a special place in my heart when it comes to banh mis but I do think that MoonNight makes a solid banh mi. Unfortunately, the options are a bit limited and the restaurant is located on a less busy part of East Passyunk Ave, so it's not as convenient to visit.
