The staff overall also wasn't particularly friendly or welcoming. The bar seating area was another letdown. The table was sticky and clearly needed to be wiped down. This could have been a stellar experience, because the food itself was good. But better customer service, more consistent portions, and simply keeping the tables clean would make a big difference.

I come here for happy hour every now and then because the prices are really great, and both the food and drinks are delicious. We started with the specialty cocktail and the Thai Punch, and both were really good. They had fruity undertones, and the alcohol wasn't overpowering at all -- I could easily have a few of these. For food, we got a few orders of the kung pao chicken wings. They were perfectly crispy with a really flavorful glaze. The portion size was also very generous, especially for the happy hour price. These are a great example of Asian-style fried chicken wings done right. I definitely want to come back and try their full dinner menu since I've only been here for happy hour so far. Luckily, it's not too far from where I live in the city, so I'll definitely be back!

Place is super trendy with an open concept kitchen and dark lighting. I might be getting old because I find myself wanting more lighting lol Service is spectacular and if it's your first time here they'll fully explain their menu and recommendations. This time our server explained the tasting course, but we decided to order a la carte. A refreshing Ming Mule came out first and it was just what I needed after being inside of a stadium on a 100 degree day. We also ordered an order of the pork bao which was so tasty. You can never go wrong with a pork belly appetizer and each order comes with two. The shrimp pad Thai had all the flavors you expect from a classic pad Thai but with their own twist. The Szechuan chicken was crispy and had sweet notes. Definitely two great picks. Opted out from dessert because we were so stuffed but they have a great ice cream cone option if you are in the mood.

One of the people in my party had the buffalo chicken sausage on a plain roll and raved about it as well. Definitely looking forward to tracking this food truck down again!

Our waiter was excellent, he was fast and efficient, very friendly and helpful. We had asked to move to a different section and he was very understanding and helpful.

The scallop toast was another standout, and I can completely understand why this is a staple on their ever-changing menu. All of the courses were fantastic, and I left feeling perfectly full. As the menu is seasonal, I'm sure I will be back sometime soon!

It began at 63rd & Lancaster Aves and stretched a few blocks down to 61st Street! The blocks were filled with food trucks with many offerings from: Turkish, Mexican and Indian Cuisine To Soul Food and desserts to finish off your evening! There was beer and water ice too! I really enjoy seeing families and community members who come out to these events to celebrate the diversity of what each neighborhood offers! Downside: The lines...they are soooooo long and this is disappointing because you can't sample all the food you would like! I am excited to eat and drink my way through the next one! See ya there!

I am loving these block parties where they block off a street for the masses to come out. Mind you…read morethis was my first ever Night Market experience where it was a sea of people. Foodies taking over Old City like it was nothing! If you have A.D.H.D. or A.D.D. this could be your nightmare, but if not than let's get it on! Myself I'd have to say what better way to start it off than in Old City where they had 3rd St. blocked off from Market to Race. An event where they had an over flow of food trucks that just spilled into the side streets along the way. If you couldn't find something to satisfy your crave , your hunger, your thirst with 85 plus vendors I don't know what to tell you. Yes you read that correctly 85 food and beverage to tickle anyones fancy. Lines and more lines just to sample amazing food that these little restaurants on wheels provide for you. The food, if it wasn't on wheels then there were in tents set up to feed the hungry. I myself was overwhelmed with the options. A big block party of all sorts was going on, where you didn't know what to try next. Do I go meat? A Meatball line, well I am a carnivore. Do I go with lobster or crab ? Hmm well let's make it a Surf and Turf combo, problem solved. Do I go with pasta? Gnocchi or 4 cheese Mac and Cheese? Wait did I just see a Perogie stand? Why is his Pork sandwich better than yours? Stuffed sausage with provolone ? Pork Roll fries seriously? I think I smell donuts? That is what you'll experience, an endless amount of options to peruse. The food from a variety of cultures from European to Asian, American to Indian, a world affair of deliciousness! I also loved the tents of alcohol that were set up in just the right spots. Strategically placed with Yards being the one of the main choices for beer to Cuba Libre's tent of mixed concoctions. HELLO this event just blew it up with the perfect 1, 2 punch, great savory food and drinks. The dessert, simply unreal if the food didn't do you in, this did. Underground donuts is all I am saying with that sweet aroma filling the night air. As much as I am loyal to Federal Donuts, seeing I feel they are superior, Underground was pushing the limits. Yes there were more desserts , cupcakes, ice cream, pies and so forth to be had. A fresh hot chocolate donut coming out of the fryer and to your hands , it simply doesn't get any better. I know this is not your usual suburbia types of block parties, Philly basically just showed you how its done. Along with the great food, hoards of on goers getting their faced stuffed, drinks being drank. They also have vendors who sell trinkets to buy . I'm hooked on Night Market , can't wait for the next one and so forth.

The staff made sure I was ordering what I wanted and they were super sweet. Will definitely be coming back to try other items on their menu. Also you'd be supporting small business!

We were a party of two and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. ​The Highlights: ​Quality: This is hands-down the best quality "all-you-can-eat" (AYCE) sushi I've had. Unlike other places where the fish can sometimes taste frozen, everything here tasted fresh and high-quality. ​Service: Our server, Jordan, was incredibly attentive and made our lunch even better. ​Menu: The miso soup was delicious, and the salad portion was generous. The fried calamari was also great, though the pieces were on the smaller side. While the chicken teriyaki was a bit disappointing, the rest of the meal more than made up for it. ​Value: At approximately $33.85, the AYCE price is a great value for the quality you receive. They also have an extensive ramen menu--while it's not included in the AYCE price, it looked delicious and is something I'm excited to try next time. ​Overall Thoughts: The restaurant was very quiet during our lunch visit, which made for a relaxing meal, though I imagine it gets lively during happy hour. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for fresh sushi and great service!
