If you want trendy asian snacks, this is the most comprehensive store in Philly! They have mainly…read moreChinese, Japanese, and Korean snacks, with a lot of things that I've never seen in other typical East Asian grocery store. Various types of candy, frozen foods, specialty drinks, ice creams, mochi, potato chips, ramen--each aisle is packed with goodies. It is a little pricey, but I like buying interesting candies for care packages or unique gifts. Definitely recommend! - open for covid as of July 2020 - under $10 is cash only

I really enjoyed visiting S.mart! You can't go wrong with anything you buy here…read more I spent less than $20 and got a decent amount of stuff: Black Truffle Velvet Mashed Potato Pringles Ritz Crackers with Chocolate Matcha Chocolates Watermelon Konjac jelly pack Japanese Oreos Gift Box (not pictured) So far, I've had the Oreos, Matcha Chocolate and the Pringles. All were pretty solid! The Pringles remind me of something other than mashed potatoes but I can't put my finger on it. The Oreos are all different flavors and are slightly thinner than the Oreos sold here in the US. The flavor I tried was White Peach and Crystal Grape. Interesting combination to mix with chocolate but it was actually tasty. The matcha chocolate doesn't taste like chocolate. The matcha flavor is very strong and it tastes like you're biting into a block of matcha but with the consistency of chocolate. I wasn't helped by anyone besides the cashier so I can't speak too much on the staff but overall I was able to navigate the store without any questions. The store is a little tight especially when you're sharing the aisles with other people. My understanding is that the S.mart directly next door is owned by the same family and is a store specializing in skincare. They share the same name but sell different items. Great selection of international treats and a nice place for gifts, too!

The other time it was a traditional cookie - fantastic. I like to get the halva- it's the best. I forget where they get it from but thru usually have two flavors and they cut it fresh for you. The flavors range from the usual to some really interesting variations. I also love getting salmon trimmings. They have many unusual food items.

We really enjoyed our visit here and were lucky to get a table since we didn't have reservations…read more We arrived near the beginning of the dinner crowd on a Monday or else we probably would have been turned away as it filled up fast. The inside is fairly basic but not in a cheap way. Service was a bit slower due to how busy they were, but it wasn't bad. The dishes that come out of the kitchen look like they could be served in an upscale restaurant. My orange chicken was great, but you do need to order rice separately. My husband's beef and onion had a LOT of onion, and much of it was still on the plate when he finished. He enjoyed it though. One of my sons ordered a chicken dish that was just a large plate of chicken pieces with nothing else, not even a sauce. We both thought it was too dry and boring. My second son had lo mein though and really liked it. The scallion pancakes were also some of the best I've had in a long time. They were thick and not too greasy with a crisp outside and soft center. I just wish they had more scallions/flavor. The prices were higher than what we are used to, but they're probably in line or even lower end for a big city. Four of us ate for $100.

Service was so quick we were able to make it to our next appointment on time. Bathroom rating: 4.5/5

I Would Revisit Philadelphia JUST for This Market!…read more Reading Terminal Market was easily one of our favourite stops during our Philadelphia trip, and honestly, I would come back to Philly just to visit this market again! The sheer number of incredible food options is overwhelming in the best possible way. There are so many vendors, cuisines, snacks, and treats to choose from that you almost wish you could eat ten meals in one sitting! We spent quite a bit of time exploring the market, trying different things, and figuring out what we wanted to eat. There were so many tempting options, but we were ultimately EXTREMELY happy with everything we chose. Here are just a few of the highlights from our visit: Miller's Twist: They made the best soft pretzel any of us have ever had. Seriously, it was THAT good! Really Reel Ginger: We picked up some incredible ginger snacks that were delicious and definitely worth trying. Kamal's: We tried knafeh here, which was a fantastic way to sample something different while exploring the market. Famous 4th Street Cookie: Their cookies were delicious, soft, and incredibly moist. Our favourites were the Blueberry Muffin and Ginger Molasses cookies, and they stayed soft for DAYS! Umi Seafood: The deep-fried crab sticks were insanely delicious! Perfectly sweet and flaky on the inside, with an excellent crispy tempura batter. We also loved how friendly the staff were. Hatville Deli: I went with their popular Corned Beef Sandwich, and it was fantastic. The coleslaw added a great crunch, making it a seriously satisfying sandwich. And that was just SOME of what we tried! There were so many other vendors and food options that caught our attention, and we barely scratched the surface of everything available. What makes Reading Terminal Market so special is the variety. Whether you're craving a hearty sandwich, freshly baked treats, international cuisine, seafood, or something you've never tried before, there's a good chance you'll find it here. It's the kind of place where everyone in your group can find something they love. My biggest piece of advice? Arrive hungry, take your time exploring, and don't commit to your first food choice before seeing what's available! You'll probably find yourself wanting to try half the market. We absolutely loved our visit, and Reading Terminal Market is easily one of our top recommendations for anyone visiting Philadelphia. It's not just a place to grab a bite to eat; it's an experience in itself. Would we return? In a heartbeat! In fact, we might have to plan another Philly trip just to eat our way through more of this incredible market!

5/5 for an amazing selection that is quality…read more It has food from all Asian ethnicities, they have fresh seafood and regularly change over their packages of cuts of meat. They had discounted Moon Cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. They also have consistent pricing for chicken thighs, vegetables, regular sale pricing for Apples and oranges, etc. As for cleanliness concerns, I think when you go to an Asian Grocery store, you have to expect a sort of controlled chaos. I will say that it can be hard to social distance, but you know that coming here, everyone will be wearing a mask, multiple cashiers and customers will be wearing face shields, most people will be using gloves and everyone will be rushing to get in and out once they've loaded all the bags they can carry with everything they can to buy all at once. I come here for things like hot pot meats, seafood, chicken, beef, drumsticks, live crabs, different vegetables, soy sauce, etc. Tips/Takeaways: -Love this place for all my weekly grocery needs -Definitely great prices, quick staff, patrons all wear masks/gloves, would highly recommend!

Grape plums were something new to me, and I became addicted to them rather quickly. They taste just as their name depicts, a hybrid between a black grape and a red plum. The skin is thick and tart, just like a plum, while the inside resembles a black grape in taste while the texture is a bit chewy like the grapes used to make wine. I ate these almost every day while I was in town!

All of us loved the seafood udon, which was not overcooked and had a good bite to the noodles and was deliciously garlicky and creamy. The mala chicken bowl has great umami with the slight numbing of the peppercorn sauce. The chicken remained very crispy and honestly, the rice was cooked to perfection. The beef bowl was equally flavorful and tender. The cucumber salad was refreshing and had a dressing that was unique. It wasn't my favorite but that's also because the other dishes set the bar so high. The ambiance is nice indoors and the service is quick and attentive.

The food was decent overall, and the combo meals were a pretty good value for the price. One thing to note--the char siu (叉燒) was more like braised fatty pork rather than the traditional Cantonese-style roasted char siu we were expecting. Some items we were interested in, like the squid ink pasta, are also no longer on the menu. Not quite what we expected going in, but still a solid casual meal. The service was okay.

I am so happy that Condiment opened! Fair Food stopped selling my ketchup and I needed a new…read moresubstitute. If you want fresh ingredients and condiments that don't contain any hard-to-pronounce-bad-for-you chemicals, then please come to Condiment. Friendly owner Elizabeth explained to me how everything is freshly made and you can get daily "mix-ins" with the different condiments available. Mustard, ketchup, mayo, jellies/jams, and they also have pastries and fresh made butter! You can sample anything and the three things I did were great. The ketchup is meant to rival a super large ketchup producer and the taste is spot on to that brand. The strawberry and raspberry jams were outstanding from the small tastes I had. Elizabeth said they purchase a lot of their ingredients from the RTM including the Fair Food Farmstand. She also mentioned when I asked that the products will last for some time in the refrigerator. I'm certain they will be gone very soon at my house! You can purchase 8 or 16oz portions, and for a little more you can get a squeeze bottle. I got those and if I bring them back, they'll refill them (still have to pay, though)! I believe it is $6.99 for the 16oz size and another buck and change for the squeeze bottles. I'm so glad I work nearby. Hope they start a frequent buyer program...come to think of it, I wish the Valley Shepherd Creamery did, too. I'll be back. Definitely!

I love to come here after I have picked up steaks at a butcher and either get a butter that has herbs and other cool things in it or have them marinate my meat while I shop around. Yes, that is right, they will marinate your meat while you shop! Just buy your meat, bring it to Condiment, and they will put together a delicious marinade for you while you shop! Just pick it up before you leave and you are all set! I also really like their pot pies, roasted eggplant, and other pre-made items to grab for an easy meal. Their sauces, condiments, dips, and butters are so good, it is hard not to buy everything in sight! They are a little pricey, but it honestly is so worth it! Everything is so fresh and yummy. You can find almost any condiment here, and if you don't see it, the staff is so friendly and helpful, I feel like they would see what they could do to help. Absolutely a place to check out if you are in the area!
