In the Reading Terminal Market. Best cheesesteak in Philadelphia. Don't go to touristy Pat's, Geno's or Steaks on South. I recommend getting it with friend onions, mushrooms, American cheese and ketchup. It is a humongous cheesesteak for $10.

Tastiest pho in Philadelphia. When it comes to pho, there are many options in Philly. Some say Pho 75 is the best. I beg to differ. Pho Saigon has the best broth in Philadelphia. The large size is extremely filling. Yes, it is a bit more expensive than other pho establishments, but I think it's the best.

Get the tofu banh mi here! I can't attest to the other flavors of banh mi at Nam Son, but the tofu one is the best in Philadelphia! For less than $5, you get delicious crunchy bread with seasoned tofu and the acidic pickled radishes/carrots with a hint of spice.

One of the best Korean restaurants in the greater Philadelphia area. I love their bulgogi (marinated sauteed beef) and they have kalbijim (steamed beef ribs in sweet and soy)! Best kimchi I have ever had and their lunch specials include a free soondubu (soft tofu soup)!

Don't let the name fool you, this is not "real" Cantonese dim sum. This is Chinese dim sum from Shanghai. However, their scallion pancakes are amazing, pork and cabbage fried dumplings are good, and of course, the best xiao long baos (steamed soup dumplings) in Philadelphia.

I love their tinga (shredded marinated chicken) quesadillas. It's not quesadillas we often get, it's made with corn tortillas, and sour cream, lettuce, and pico de gallo on top. Best of all, an order of 3 is only $8 and it is open until 10 or 11pm.

If you want an authentic Cantonese cafe experience, go to Wong Wong. It has delicious Singapore rice noodle, and "with rice" dishes. You can order fish, beef, chicken with rice for about $6-7 and it is absolutely delicious. They also have great roast pork.
