    Walnut shrimp, fried rice, and general tso chicken
    Stan H.

    The food is fine but definitely doesn't hit the standard of good quality Asian food. There are Asian restaurants that probably do worse but definitely ones that do better. I had cheese wantons and I enjoyed all the food but have had better walnut shrimp in most other places. Service was okay but you could sense they felt tired and typical city vibe but still very professional. Coming here was like for me being a little kid that just wanted to try this chain out to see how it is because I was passing by it and I finally did. I miss the Pei Wei chain lol.

    This place is my go to after coming out of the fashion district. I was coming out of the mall and looking for a good place to eat. There was a long line of people, so I figured I would stop by here. You can't usually go wrong with their orange chicken, which is the best. There's a lot of space and great seating available. Everything is clean and the staff is very helpful. I was able to go through the line and order food easily. I sat down and enjoyed my Orange Chicken with Fried Rice. The food was great. I had a great meal here and would definitely come back again next time. I am in the city.

    This is where the restaurant is located

    The manager Edmond is the most rudest person I've ever met, very unprofessional and has a bad attitude. I had to buy a $3 soda for my 4 year old to use the bathroom and she was very close to peeing on herself at the time of the encounter after I assured the manager I was prepared to not only pay but to dine in. Do not eat here, they are rude and racist if you are a person of color we are not welcomed in the establishment. They were very arrogant. I will never ever go back.

    Mouse under the buffet. I took a video of them all running around and. Its on IG

    They had mice! multiple mice and we saw them jump into the buffet after closing time when walking back to the hotel. The food was mediocre and I wanted to puke after seeing that. The service was about the same. I will never Ever eat here again! No one should until they get their pest issue handled.

    Honey walnut shrimp
    Jenaya P.

    I've been hearing so much about this honey walnut shrimp at Panda Express and last Friday was the perfect oppurtunity for me to try and see if its all it cracked up to be. Well the dish was delicious. Since seafood is my thing and shrimp is the best in the seafood game. I knew that I prolly would like it being as tho I rarely met a shrimp I didn't like. My honey walnut shrimp had a nice crispy coating on the outside that was sweet but not too sweet. The glazed walnuts was the perfect consistency, it definitely added great flavor to the shrimp. Overall I think the honey walnut shrimp would pair well with rice or a side salad. Great service, the line moved really fast even during lunch hour. My dish was pretty pricey. I paid about 14.00 for my side only but for the quality of the flavor. Its worth it plus they offer other items that are pretty reasonable like orange chicken and beef and broccoli. This was definitely a treat and a splurge for me. Definitely would return anytime I want to get my honey walnut shrimp fix on!

    First time at a Shake Shack! Arrived in town and wanted something quick and unique for dinner. I…read moreused to kiosk in store, grabbed a number and picked a table. Food was out quickly. The chicken sandwich was crispy and tender although I would have liked more sauce on the sandwich to balance out the bun. The crinkle cut fries had plenty of Parmesan on top and a side of a garlic aioli sauce that was delicious. The shake was thick and with large chucks of nuts. I ended up just using a spoon!

So when my wife said she wanted a little something while we wandered through a heatwave in Philadelphia, I thought this would be a safe harbor. It was not. We ordered cheese fries and a banana pudding milkshake. The fries arrived looking as if they had been cooked last Tuesday and kept under a damp towel since. The cheese was cold and had formed a sort of yellow skin. It reminded me of school cafeteria food, but with better marketing. The shake was okay. The banana flavor was nice enough. But the Vanilla Wafer Cookie Crumble inside was too ambitious for a straw. Every third sip turned into a game of suction-based roulette. You could pay fifty cents extra for rainbow sprinkles to support GLAAD. That was a good idea I could get behind. The execution, like the fries, was half-hearted. It felt more like an upsell than a cause. The worst part was the store itself. We had planned to sit inside for a few minutes. Restore our core temperatures to something in the double-digits. Regain a little hope. But the tables looked like they had not been cleaned since lunchtime and the floor was trying to become one with the food. We took our sad little snack and walked back to the hotel. Two stars. One for the idea of Shake Shack. One for the milkshake trying its best. That is all.

I've seen the chicken and waffles on their menu many times and was always hesitant on ordering it only because I didn't want to feel disappointment and possible regret for not ordering one of their well-known, delicious options of chicken sandwich (the Sando) or chicken fingers. I don't know why I was so afraid to order it other than thinking the waffle wouldn't be that good, but I was so very wrong. Their chicken and waffles are great! Let's start with the chicken... fried to perfection and slightly lathered in your choice of mild to spicy sauce, these chicken tenders are simply amazing... and huge. Bite into a chicken tender and juices shoot out of it. That's how juicy they are. The waffle (divided into quarters) was so good. Lightly crisped and dusted with powdered sugar on the outside and a beautiful soft texture inside, this is a great waffle. You get syrup for the waffle and your choice of sauce for the chicken. All for $12.95. So good! Other options include a Korean chicken nugget combo that includes steamed white rice and fries, chicken wraps, and wings. Service is pretty quick. I ordered to go ("ASAP - 10 mins") and the order was ready in 14, but please don't fault them for this. Once you taste the chicken, you will forgive them for any tardiness.

The Love is better. The space is beautiful, the service is consistently warm, and Stephen Starr's fingerprints are all over it. I love the painted white brick, the floral artwork along the walls, the street-level energy, and the outdoor seating. I also remember taking the elevator upstairs once. I can't remember whether we actually stayed and ate up there or asked to move back downstairs, but the space was charming and extremely private. It would be a great setting for a group dinner or event. Personally, I prefer downstairs. It's darker, livelier, and I like being at street level. The menu historically leaned more heavily into elevated Southern comfort food, which has never been my favorite style of cooking. That's probably why I've tended to prefer The Love for lunch over dinner, especially when Philadelphia has so many Starr restaurants competing for the same night out. I used to get what I remember as a salmon and farro bowl, although the menu appears to have evolved since then. Whatever the exact iteration was, I loved it. Fish and farro are both right in my wheelhouse. I've also enjoyed the kale salad and other lighter dishes. The thing I remember most vividly, though, is the cornbread. It is outrageously good and reason enough to order something for the table. I also give Starr credit for continuing to broaden the range of food styles in his portfolio. Once you've built restaurants across Italian, French, Mexican, English, steakhouses, seafood, and the rest, there are only so many obvious boxes left to check. The Love feels like its own lane: distinctly American, approachable, comfort-driven, and still polished enough to feel like a Starr restaurant. Looking at the menu now, it seems broader than I remember, with more options that appeal to me, and I'd be psyched to go back. The Love probably isn't the first Starr restaurant I'd choose purely based on cuisine, but that says more about the depth of his Philadelphia portfolio than it does about this restaurant. The room, hospitality, location, and execution are all excellent. I'd happily come here any day. Starr doesn't miss.

They have a great Taco Tuesday deal with $1 tacos, offering carnitas and chicken tacos as part of the special. The carnitas tacos were seasoned perfectly -- 8/10. The only thing that would elevate them even more would be adding pico. The chicken tacos were a 4/10 unfortunately. They lacked flavor and tasted like plain boiled chicken placed on a tortilla, which was disappointing. We also ordered the Tres Salsa and chips. Out of the three salsas, the green and red were the standouts and packed the most flavor. For drinks, we ordered margaritas on the rocks ($5, plus $2 additional for flavor). I tried mango and passion fruit -- the mango tasted more like orange juice, while the passion fruit maintained its flavor much better. If you're looking for a family-friendly indoor/outdoor spot, this is a great option. I noticed a good mix of couples and singles, which made for a nice atmosphere. Bar seating is limited at night, and outdoor seating closes around 7:00 PM. Overall, for Taco Tuesday, I'd give it a 7/10 -- great atmosphere and deals, but food consistency could use some work.

It feels like a completely different dimension of what "healthy" food can be. Both chicken options are incredible and my go to every time. The Jamaican dry rub chicken is on another level, and when you pair it with the Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, it will take you straight to another galaxy. It's the kind of meal where you pause mid bite just to appreciate it. The sauces are a whole experience on their own. They're healthy, packed with flavor, and they let you try as many as you want, which just adds to the fun. Real Food Eatery is a sleeper and one of the best under the radar spots in the city.

We ordered the lemon tahini chicken, which comes with your choice of rice or greens. You can also split the base, so we did half rice and half greens. The meal includes two sides, and we chose the carrots and broccoli, then added a third side of cauliflower. Depending on how hungry you are, the portion was big enough for both of us to share and still feel completely full. Everything was fresh and really flavorful. The lemon tahini chicken was especially delicious. It's not a fancy sit-down restaurant, but the food quality is excellent and the service was exceptional. Most importantly, it's great knowing there are places we can go where she can eat safely without worrying about gluten. We would definitely return without question.
