I wanted to like this poke spot because it's a really cute place next to the train with a nice…read moreoutdoor seating area. Ultimately would not venture back out here. The poke itself was very fine. Not a lot of options in either the fish department or the toppings department. And there are up charges for a lot of ingredients I feel are typically standard, like seaweed salad. I also got a creme brûlée drink which was definitely not worth the money. It feels mom and pop which I appreciate and do feel like with some small additions to their poke options this could be a nice spot if you're in the area.

An impromptu lunch date with my partner was a good opportunity to try this renewed local spot! The…read morefolks who run the place are super nice and attentive, definitely family-run, and because of that I am going to do what I can to support this local business because we don't need another chain joint in our area. And good on them for taking a risk on Bala village where few retail businesses have been willing to invest. Similar vibe inside to when it was Trails End but they have opened up all of the internal space for dining so plenty of options to sit inside on a cold day. Lots of take-out snacks and drinks are available for trail users, including a nice selection of iced cream bars, coffee, bars, etc. On to the food. I absolutely love ramen, so honestly, I'm happy to have someplace in our neighborhood where I can get a decent bowl. Overall everything was good. Solid bowl of homemade ramen. Not at the level of places like Hiro or Terakawa, but not at all flat and the noodles were well cooked. I got it with shrimp tempura which came with 2 small but super crunchy shrimp that went well with the soup. Also, I got an order of takoyaki which actually was surprisingly yummy. Good texture and flavor came on a nice little bed of lettuce. Again, not the best takoyaki ever, but still pretty yummy. Was happy with the milk tea I got, tasted home-brewed and they got my sugar level just right. The tapioca was just ok. My spouse got a creme brulé bubble tea which was similar to mine but with a custardyness to it that I was jealous of. For a small shop run by 2 people that sells a lot of different things in a super odd location in Bala, this place surprised me with how good it was. I'm giving it 5 stars because they are new and are still building the business and getting the kinks out. I really do think this place can become awesome if people keep going and give them feedback to allow them to make it even better. I wonder if having so many options (poke, ramen, etc) is hurting them as people are used to either going to a poke place or a ramen place. Is it possible to do both types of food really well, maybe. But honestly, I think if they chose one and really nailed it, this place would take off. My vote is for ramen, but that's just because I'm not big on poke and there are already a number of sushi spots in our area. Overall, if you live in the area, and have a craving for some poke, ramen, or bubble tea. Please, support them, and help them get even better! I'm rooting for Platform Z!

I noticed it was always full of Aslan people eating here as well, which seems to usually be a good sign of authenticity. I got the chicken with mushrooms in noodles one night and the braised beef the second night and some chicken dumplings. I loved it all, thank you!

traveled to philly for a basketball tournament, and needed to get a bite to eat after a day of…read moretraveling . so let me just start off by saying ... this is a dressed up chinese spot . so we walked in and were immediately seated. our "server" (& i use that term lightly) comes and hands a tablet with no direction . so the tablet is literally the menu and where you order from. okay. so we ordered our food. my daughter got the chicken lo mein and a milk boba tea. i ordered an egg drop soup, chicken and broccoli, and a fresh lemonade. my entree comes out first. the chicken and broccoli was just okay . the broccoli was literally the star of the dish bc the chicken was not seasoned at all. after almost eating my meal , i realized i hadn't gotten my soup. the "sever" said they were in the back making , which was a fib. he forgot bc i saw him scoop the soup from the pot it was in. i did try my daughter's lo mein , and that was good . and the lemonade was fresh , just hot . the actual restaurant itself is pretty nice on the inside . it's in the city center and they have a free parking garage . i wasn't very impressed, so can't say that i'd be returning it i ever visited philly again.

We love their XO shrimp- the sauce it comes with is so good and the shrimp is fire perfectly. The lemongrass beef and lamb chops are other staples of ours. Really enjoy their Singapore noodles and have recently been getting their Chilean sea bass- cooked so perfectly - it melts in your mouth! In addition to the amazing food, I need to recognize New Leaf for their exceptional service as well. We recently had an issue with one of our orders and New Leaf stepped up big time to rectify the situation, which went beyond our expectations. We have been recommending them to friends and family for a while now and will continue to do so because they are the real deal! Thank you, New Leaf team!

I've gotten the sushi and chicken/eggplant special in the past, generally doing take out. The order is always ready when I arrive, and the food is standard and solid for what you'd expect.

Also $15 minimum for credit card fyi Solid neighborhood spot, would recommend this local restaurant for anyone craving Americanized Chinese food and simple sushi cravings.

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 :)

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.
