Ninja Bao by Bao Button
Asian fusion restaurant
👍👍 The food was amazing. Prices are very reasonable. I got the "I don't know bao" box which was prefect because I didn't have to pick just one. My kiddo got the Roast Pork. We both loved what we got. Side note: my daughter left her purse. We realized an hour after they'd closed. Because we were passin...

Kichi Omakase
Japanese restaurant
😐 Sushi was fine, mostly good with 1-2 misses and definitely nothing special. The dining experience is 1 hour but they seat a new group every hour, which makes you feel very rushed at the end when new patrons are entering and watching you finish. Even a 30 min buffer would drastically improve the expe...

👍👍 I'm from northern Japan and Terakawa’s Spicy Miso ramen reminds me of my hometown’s ramen. I’ve never tried Hakata style ramen from here so not sure if it's good yet, but about miso ramen, Terakawa is the best in Philly. Very authentic Japaneseramen. Curry rice is super delicious too!!!
