J117 Fu Ji Roll for $14
Adam H.

The positive is the sushi is delicious. The negative is the price point. An 8 piece sushi roll for $14 is crazy. That's $1.75 per piece.

Side Salad
Kathleen S.

My boyfriend and I ordered curry tofu, sesame beef, and a side salad. My side salad was very sad. It's the main reason this order is 4 out of 5 stars. We paid $4 for it, which isnt much but I expect more out of a side salad than some iceberg lettuce, iceberg hearts, and some sad carrot and cabbage shreddings. At least put in a couple of REAL slices of cucumber, carrot, tomato, WHATEVER. I didnt pay $4 for a literal cup chopped lettuce. Also the only reason I usually buy these side salads like a lot of people do is because of the ginger dressing! The dressing was subpar though so I really dont reccomend wasting your $4 plus tax and tip on this salad. The tofu curry was pretty good. Actually spicey like advertised. The tofu was cooked well, fried in oil. It's hard to find places that don't just serve you practically raw tofu. It comes with ALOT of onions, I wish there was more real veggies than the mass amount of onion. He said his sesame beef was very good! We have a hard time finding good Chinese take out in the city and he said this might be the best in Philly so far. I agree with him mostly but I'm looking forward to trying other menu items before saying that.

Fast service. General Tso chicken is delicious. Chicken is tender and not dry at all. Not too salty. Great flavor.

On a sushi adventure through Philadelphia. I ate a sushi lunch special on Saturday, which came with 3 rolls and soup for $11.25, then added some shumai for $4.50. They have cheaper lunch specials ($8 for 2 rolls) but I was super hungry! Came in here on a whim instead of J Sushi (next door) because I have a soft spot for Asian Fusion. Miso soup was good, but a light broth. Shrimp shumai were super good, very soft and steamed perfectly, meaty and came with an interesting sauce - thicker with red chili flakes, and it tasted good although different. The 3 roll combo sushi lunch was great. Rice was a little sticky, but the rolls were packed well. I got sweet potato tempura, crunchy spicy crab roll, and avocado cucumber. The rolls were cut in 8 pieces instead of 6 which is actually nice! Atmosphere wise, it's super casual, there's no hosts/servers (at least the time I was here) and you're served by a kitchen hand. Doesn't really matter to me because it was fast and pleasant. I came at 12 and got my soup, shumai, and sushi rolls all by 12:30! I would come here again! I would like to try their Chinese. All in all, $16 for lunch isn't bad when it's good, fast, sushi and even leaves you leftovers for later. If this review was helpful in your decision to eat at Green Garden or not, give me a thumbs up plz!

Great lunch deal for 3 rolls ~$16, which is very affordable. Nice ambience to dine in and celebrate after an exam or end of a long shift.

Great Happy Hour Tuesday - Sunday! I stumbled across this place wandering around Sansom street and…read moreI'm glad that I did! They have really great options to choose from on Happy Hour and their regular menu! The Bao Buns & Steamed Dumplings did not disappoint! I was full after those two options but the HH menu had plenty to choose from. Fresh sushi is also prepared as you walk in! Beautiful dim lighting right at the entrance. That was my first time having that beer, not bad. I switched over to a special cocktail made my the bartender; great customer service! The host was also incredible with his greeting and recommendations. The place is clean, spacious and cozy. I say the bar, much space and many TVs. Check it out!

FOOD We ordered their spicy tuna roll, pork belly sumo buns,…read moremushroom sumo tacos, spicy citrus sumo wings, and fries. All of them were tasty and filling, and for happy hour, decently priced. It's a good place to try and to meet up with friends. DRINKS We had their yuzu paloma and one of their specialty cocktails. Both were good but VERY strong, so if you're looking for something sweeter or something that doesn't pack too strong of a punch, then they might not be for you. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. AMBIANCE It's a great place to catch up with friends over some finger foods and drinks. Located at the heart of Center City, it's also nearby a variety of other establishments if you want to hop around. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity. Parking garages are also located nearby at a fee.

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!

TLDR: mediocre food and dessert. You will be rushed out and treated like a nuisance. Go if you…read moredeliberately want a short basic, salty meal and don't mind feeling rushed. The details: This place is WAY overrated online. It's amazing what a little publicity can do for a place... Honestly, I wish I had something good to say about it, but all I can say is that a couple of the dishes (mushroom shumai and salmon skewers) were just "okay". The fried items (spicy chicken bao, cauliflower) were greasy and tasted half burnt; they were clearly fried in old grease, which leaves burnt crumbs on the batter and also doesn't drain from the food as well. The short rib dumplings were salty and the meat was overcooked and mushy. Besides the poor quality food, I strongly disliked that (at a regular table with a dinner reservation) they asked for a card up front to "open a tab". Really?? That seems so weird and tacky. Very few people "dine and dash", so what would be the reason behind this? It felt especially "interesting" given the diversity of the patrons, if you get my drift. I've never been to a restaurant that does that, unless you're at the bar. Speaking of the bar...FYI They only honor the happy hour menu at the bar. The last thing I'll say is this isn't a place where you can eat comfortably and relax socially. They are literally at your table every 5-10 mins trying to get you out. It's sort of "tapas" style but they don't allow you to finish a bite before they bring the next item. We felt like we had to rush to taste everything before it got cold. To top it off, we ordered the $56pp meal thing and the dessert was 4 tiny, tiny finger-sized ice cream cones. They brought them out without warning, so they were melting right away...again, forcing us to eat or lose out. And of course the waitress brought the check out shortly thereafter. When I made it clear that we wouldn't be rushed out, she kindly gave us more water. I questioned her about rushing us, and she said they "run a high volume model". Lol doesn't every restaurant want high volume (I.e., more money)? But at the expense of service? I guess they found the sweet spot of mediocrity and profit that keeps the doors open. Maybe 10 mins later, the manager came over and picked up drink glasses and asked us how things went (another "hurry up") signal. It was truly bizarre. Unfortunately, I didn't get to finish telling him how terrible the food was because he had a nose bleed and had to run off, and didn't return right away. We just left because it was no longer worth staying around somewhere that made it uncomfortable for us to have a leisurely dinner. I definitely would never go again. I didn't take any food pics because none of it was appealing enough to make me take my camera out, and again, we had to eat fast.

​I recently dined at Aki Nom Nom for lunch on a Tuesday, and it has easily become my new favorite…read moresushi spot! 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!

Guys this food was a bit below just okay. The service was great, we were seated immediately! But…read morethat's where the good stops. The presentation for some food was fine, others was not, and everyone left like.. well that was just edible. I'm sure this is just for tourists who want to grab a quick bite to eat. So in that way I think it was probably great for them.
