We were looking for a wonderful Asian place for dinner and we definitely found it. Our waiter was…read moreso kind and friendly. He made it a wonderful experience. Tuna Hand Roll was just ok. It had a fishy taste so I didn't like it as much as I wanted to. Waygu beef on a hot stone was absolutely fantastic. We loved it. My husband enjoyed his old fashioned. Drunken Noodles were so good. We loved them. I absolutely loved my cider. We'll definitely be back the next time we visit and have to try other tasty things on the menu.

From…read morethe atmosphere, wonderful and quick service to the delicious and comforting food - it was a hit and I am definitely looking to return with my husband when we are in the area. Everything we ordered from the mocktails, apps and dishes, it was all spot on. My pork belly ramen had the perfect amount of umami, texture and variation to leave me craving another bowl. Give this place a try when you're in Wayne!

Stopped by for dinner with a small group of people. We were seated immediately and were able to…read moreorder quickly. Frankly prices are a bit steep, but quality is above average, and that's partially expected I guess out here in the burbs. Sashimi in the appetizer was great-- thick pieces and the taste seems like high quality fish! Rolls were tasty, especially the seared tuna. We all left feeling fairly satisfied with what we ordered. Ambience is a bit dim in here. It was a bit hard to converse with folks as a result, and frankly was starting to feel a little sleepy. Maybe that's just the mood that they're shooting for here, but I'd appreciate something a bit brighter and more friendly to groups and chatter. Overall, solid if you need sushi around here, but nothing to go out of your way for. Think there might be better options elsewhere that are more reasonably priced.

Love this place! Been coming here for a while now and decided to stop in for a late lunch last…read moreweek. Veggie dumplings always hit the spot so we started out with those--Can't go wrong! I usually get the grilled shrimp pho but decided to switch it up and try the grilled shrimp platter which is another one of my personal favs--They did a great job it was yummy but could use maybe 2 more shrimp to make the dish more fulfilling; maybe advertise it as on add on if possible. The curry shrimp was also tasty, I don't think it had any sweet potatoes in it like the menu said and could've used less egg plant but overall was pretty good. Still one of my favorite places on main street to grab a bite to eat :)

So I was scrolling on TikTok came across someone that had Pho from a store in I believe West…read morePhiladelphia or somewhere far from me. But someone under the post commented that they enjoy coming to Main Street Pho so I decided to come to this location because this is close to me. You can go on their site and place the order for pick up. That was very convenient and easy. It's right on Main Street in manayunk so you already know the parking is not the greatest. I actually drove by the place. I had to circle back around and I got lucky and found parking. It's actually right across the street from Winnie's to be exact. It's a very small and quaint place and the gentleman at the counter was very nice and helpful. I got the brisket pho, eggplant with garlic sauce and shrimp, chicken wings and Vietnamese coffee. Overall, I was not impressed; disappointed in the lack of flavor. Their wings were with tamarind sauce and the sauce was not good so I did not use it so it left the wings very bland. All of the food really didn't have any flavor and Pho is supposed to have great flavor coming from the broth. Even the Vietnamese coffee was just OK. I've had better of all the above. I'm not sure if I will go back here. I'm a flavor person so that's what I would need to be sold. Maybe this is a bad batch day.

This time, with Center City parking more problematic, she introduced me to their Asian Bistro here. What a great lunch! Of course, I had Sang Kee's sensational Peking Duck Roll for a starter!

Everything was perfect, including the absolutely friendly and attentive service... not to mention the company too! Looking forward to our next meal at Sang Kee!

Sampan is probably my favorite spot in Philly for happy hour. The restaurant itself has such a cool…read moreatmosphere, with dimly lit seating, two bars inside, and a back graffiti bar that has a completely different vibe with a more open and lively feel. 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!

Amazing Pan-Asian restaurant in Center City that specializes in small shareable bites. Every time…read moreI'm in Philly, I try something new here. 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.

Visited this location recently for a late night bite and unfortunately our server Liz made the…read morevisit less than favorable. Asking for simple things meant her carrying eating utensils with her bare hands over to the table. Never in any world is it okay to carry straws from the middle of the straw where it will make contact with what you are drinking and give it to patrons to use. She is not well versed on what the restaurant has and seemed to be rushing us. She started taking things from the table before asking if we were done. These things were a first for me and I was shocked. She does not seem attentive or observant which is a huge red flag when it comes to service. She may benefit from additional training. The drinks (without use of the unsanitary straws) were delicious! The food was decent but there are items that I would not get again. If I were to give this place another try, I would hope to get better service from a different server for sure. The restaurant has a cute atmosphere but there are for sure better options in the area. This is okay for good drinks.

Made dinner ressys here as I was visiting Philly for the first time and heard so many good things…read moreabout the famous edamame dumplings. Parking was easy to find outside, and I was welcomed and greeted nicely upon entering. They provided me with a veggie menu upon seating me, which I really appreciated. I also had the pleasure of being waited on by the very handsome Vinny. He checked in on me often and made sure I was enjoying my meal. The edamame dumplings were pretty good! I had imagined whole edamame beans, but they were mashed inside, which was definitely a surprise. Also had the wasabi mashed potatoes, which had a very unique flavor that I hadn't had before. Overall my dining experience went very well. I accidentally dropped one of my chopsticks, and a gentleman picked it up immediately and got me a new one. Inside the ambiance was relaxing and the lights were dim, but I was still able to take nice pics of my meal. Highly recommend if you're in the area :)

We used to go to Buddakan in Atlantic City, but it was permanently closed during COVID, so I was…read morereally happy to see they have a location in Philly. We made a reservation for 5:30 tonight and were seated toward the back near the bar. Service: 5 stars. Our server, Ryan F., was excellent. He was very personable, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. He had the entire menu memorized and was able to explain the ingredients and dishes in detail. His level of service definitely added to the experience. Drinks: We started with the Honor cocktail, which was citrusy, refreshing, and a nice way to start the evening. Later, I ordered the lychee martini, one of my favorites, and it was just as good as I remembered. Food: For appetizers, we shared the tuna tartare spring rolls, yellowtail sashimi, and shrimp dumplings. The tuna tartare spring rolls and yellowtail were both very good and flavorful. The shrimp dumplings, however, were just okay and didn't really stand out. We've had better elsewhere. For our mains, I ordered the miso cod and crab fried rice, and both were absolutely delicious. The miso cod was flavorful and satisfying, and the crab fried rice was one of the highlights of the meal. Both brought back the flavors I remembered from our past visits. Hubby ordered the wok cashew chicken, which he found just okay and not particularly memorable. Overall: A very good dining experience, but not everything was a home run. The service was outstanding, and the miso cod, crab fried rice, and lychee martini were the highlights for me. A couple of the dishes were less impressive, especially considering the prices. Still, it was great to revisit Buddakan in Philly. There are several other dishes I'd like to try, so I'm looking forward to another dinner here.
