    Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Sophusion. First of all, the food is excellent and the service was very fast. The restaurant is beautiful and we went on a night when it wasn't crowded. Though I have to say the front room isn't huge, so on a busy night it might get crowded fast. Other than that, there are no drawbacks to this restaurant. Go and enjoy it. I took one star off of the review for something I didn't like. The gratuity is tacked on to the bill, even if it isn't a large party. There is a small sign saying as much up at the front, but my husband missed it so he ended up paying a tip on top of the gratuity. I'm pretty sure this happens to others as well. Not cool. Just be advised!

    Grits and home fries

    I've been to this great establishment twice, therefore this review is long over due! I visited Sophusion for dinner and brunch, so I got an opportunity to experience both vibes. The aesthetics is beautiful!! Very elegant, beautiful table setting for the front to the back, white linen tablecloth and draped curtains from the ceiling to the floor. The bathroom was also elegantly decorated. Check out the pics. The first time I was there I ordered calamari for appetizers, sesame cauliflower, spinach and sweet potatoes!!! They were served piping hot and it was deliciously seasoned! I also had a cucumber drink that was extremely refreshing!!! Brunch was sweet potato waffles and chicken!! The chicken was crispy and savory, the waffles were slightly dry, but good. Cheese grits, bacon and home fries were also purchased and got rave reviews from my husband. The menu is not huge, therefore we plan to visit more and order more things!!! The customer service is good! We were greeted by the staff and though during my second visit I didn't get the servers name, she was attentive and kind. One thing I noted during my second visit is the volume level of the music, we were near a speaker but the music was very loud. It was not many patrons there , though they were preparing for was birthday party. I'd suggest the establishment check in with patrons or gauge what volume would work in the future, but during my first visit I didn't notice the volume so it had to be different. Overall, Sophusion is at the top of my list for local go to establishments!! I will be back!!!

    Crisp Chicken and Sweet Potato Waffle
    Gerry B.

    My partner saw this on the Kelly Drives program on local TV. We dined her during brunch on a Sunday. The restaurant has a storefront in Lansdowne on N. Lansdowne Avenue. When we walked in, we immediately liked the relaxed atmosphere. Because of the large windows in the front, we were bathed in mostly natural light although there were a few light fixtures in the ceiling. There were sheer curtains hung at various intervals on the wall which added to the relaxing vibe. Throughout our time there, they played very nice music, mostly jazz. I had the Shrimp Tostones and my partner had the Oxtail Dumplings. Both were very good. The dumplings were a nice size and the oxtail meat was superbly seasoned. For our main dishes, we had the Crisp Chicken with Sweet Potato Waffle and the Shrimp and Grits. The Shrimp and Grits looked deceptively small in the bowl and ended up being plentiful. The Crisp Chicken (really a game hen) was well seasoned and crispy. The sweet potato waffle was good. It was heavy for my taste because I prefer light and airy waffles. I had a Tropical Passion mocktail with my meal. It was very refreshing. The restaurant has a back room which I suspect can be used for private parties and special occasions. The tables in that room were covered with linen tablecloths whereas the tables in the main dining area were not. The only thing that made our experience less than perfect was the noise we kept hearing. At first it sounded like small children running back and forth upstairs. After a while I detected a pattern, and guessed that it was a dance school. I was right. Hearing the pattering of feet detracted from the relaxed feeling.

    Birthday Celebration Card
    Donna W.

    The aesthetics and ambiance encountered at Sophusion Fine Dining from the concrete of Lansdowne Avenue is breathtaking. You're literally transported into a luxurious haven. It happened to be my Birthday Celebration and by indicating that on the reservation, I was met with a Birthday Card signed in gold and confetti on the table. It was a wonderful surprise! What was Well Done: The hostess who greeted us had a beautiful smile and was very welcoming, the ambiance, the Birthday decoration on the table and the R&B playlist that entertained us. What We Ate: Tropical Paradise French Toast - Sweet pea flower creme anglaise, and pomegranate syrup. (5/5) Crispy Bacon (5/5) Brioche French Toast w/mixed berries (5/5) Crab Fried Rice (5/5) What was Medium: Truffle Potato Wedges - The flavor was good; however, we expected potato wedges and not steak fries. (3/5) What was Blue: When we arrived and were seated, one of the tables was wobbly. As a result, when the hostess attempted to pour water in my friends glass she spilled it on the table and her pants. She was very apologetic, cleaned up the spill quickly and retrieved a leveler to put under the table leg. It just wasn't a great start. The service from our waitress was slow, it was difficult to hear her because she spoke low and we had to call her over to clear dishes from the table. Since I read previous reviews about the oxtail dumplings being delicious, I attempted to order them but they ran out the day before. That then meant the oxtails and grits I was considering as an entree was out and I had to pivot. What We Ate/Drank: Coffee (2/5) Calimari - It was super salty and we sent it back with only 2 pieces eaten. We advised the waitress the dish was too salty. We were still charged $19 for an inedible item. (0/5) Chicken and Waffles - The chicken unfortunately was very dry. (1/5) Turkey Bacon - My friend asked that it be cooked well done. They served a lot of slices; however, a lot were under cooked. (2/5) Eggs w/Mystery Cheese - It's never good when the conversation turns to, what kind of cheese is that? The cheese clung to the sides of the dish. We thought it may be Cheese Whiz or Velveeta. A Google search lead us to images that resembled scrambled eggs with Cheese Whiz. I do not consider Cheese Whiz or Velveeta fine dining ingredients. (1/5) We did not partake in the $7 bottled water or the $9 to $11 Mocktails; however, our check was $178 (20% gratuity is automatically added).

    Mocktail

    Everything was amazing, went for brunch and will definitely be going back! Lamb Chops 10/10 , Shrimp & Grits 10/10, Calamari 10/10, Lobster & Waffles 10/10, Mocktail 7/10, Service 8/10, Time waiting for food 9/10.

    Crab Fried Rice & A small Piece of the strip steak..
    Nicole S.

    What an amazing experience!! Came here for lunch today. We had the Steak Brunch platter which came with Fried Potatoes and eggs. We also indulged in the crab fried rice and Oxtail Dumplings!! Absolutely delicious!!! The best crab fried rice I have ever had with jumbo lump crab meat no imitation. The Oxtail Dumplings and the dipping sauce that comes with it were perfection by far! They also have Vegan options which makes them an all around go to for anyone. We were greeted by the hostess/Waitress. She was very friendly and Welcoming. We received great service, great vibes. Nice ambiance. I must say I didn't know Lansdowne has such a wonderful gem! Great job SOPHUSION

    I really really wanted to love this place. There are so many reason, ownership: woman of color, neighborhood: nearby and needed, fine dining: I love it. However it's not to be but it can be turned around! This is a beautiful restaurant the floor design and furniture is very appealing KUDOS to the designer. The service is extremely slow but it's newness may be the reason. BUT THE PRICES TELLS ME THAT DOESN'T MATTER! My appetizer took 30 minutes to be delivered thankfully it was hot and very good. The calamari was delicious nice balance of crispiness, sweet chili and peppers this is a winner. It can be said the timing of my entree was perfect it arrived when I had enough of my calamari. But wait there's more.. the crab fried rice was barely warm nevertheless good in flavor and balance of crab, my ny strip steak was ABSOLUTELY COLD, throwing on warm sauce, and onions will not warm up a steak that has been sitting!!! I just took it to go. The owner or manager was nearby and said nothing she was with family or friends. My check arrived and I used google pay, that went smoothly. The problem with the check? The menu shows the mocktail price as $9 I was charged $11 and a 20% gratuity was automatically charged. Normally and regardless of the service I offer greater than 20%. I understand how hard the work is. But what does it say for a single person dining to be automatically charged 20%? I understand they attach it to all checks, but what what are they saying? Too much to interpret and it's not a good thing! Will I return? NO sorry to say. To many things went wrong for the price and label of fine dining.

    The ambiance, food, and service was 5 star; a bonus for me is that it is BYOB and black owned. Our server as well as management of the restaurant checked on us throughout our dinning experience, attentive but not smothering. There was five of us, we each got appetizers...my least favorite was the crabcake, it wasn't flavorful but it did have lumps of crabmeat in it. My favorite appetizer was the sweet chili calamari and pan seared oxtail dumplings; both were delicious. We all loved our entrees, the presentation of each dish was 5 star and the food lived up to the beautiful presentation. I got a side of the crab fried rice, sooo good!!! The cajun seafood alfredo as well as the salmon dish was delicious. The ambiance and decor is classy. It is not a large restaurant but we did not feel crowded, I would recommend making reservations. I look forward to dining here again, next time I will try their brunch menu.

    This place is cute, def needing something like this outside of the city. The location is good and there is ample parking. They are byob but I hoped they had more mocktails or non alchoholic drink options on the menu. The food itself is top tier, loved the presentation and taste. Portion wise it's not as big for the price point but I can't deny the quality was great. The customer service was decent. The staff wasn't as attentive but the fact that they are just starting I will give it a pass. I would def recommend this place. The chef came over and asked how the food was. I enjoyed her presence. Will def Support this black owned hidden gem again!

    Lamb chops medium rare with a sweet potato side.

    When one of my closet girlfriends chose this place for dinner I was pleasantly surprised. I actually live in Lansdowne but had not seen this restaurant but I kept seeing things on social media. So boom you walk in and it is really nicely decorated. The vibe is very inviting. The music was a very nice jazz fusion. I loved it! Lets get into those appetizers!!! The oxtail pot stickers were very good but the Goat (yes capital G) were EVERYTHING! MY GAWD!!! I was not ready for them to be that delicious! So much so i didn't share with my friend. Lol we both had the lamb with a side of spinach! I cant even begin to describe the flavor the tenderness. Omg!!! They have a customer for life! I just need to know can i get the goat empanadas to go The only thing I would complain about is the waiter. He barely checked on us and forgot our drinks. But other than that AMAZING!

    One of those specialty drinks - Hibiscus Lavender I think, Delicious!

    Amazing find African American owned restaurant located on Landsdowne Avenue in my old neighborhood. Food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. Company and colleagues attendance make this night fantastic! I will have to go back for a special occasion.

    Crab cake dinner
    Janelle B.

    Visited this restaurant for a birthday dinner. There were 11 people in our party. Upon walking in, I was pleasantly surprised with the decor and atmosphere. Quaint but upscale decor. We were seated in the 1st dining area. There was another large party celebrating a birthday as well, so we were the only two groups in the 1st dining area. Although our entire party wasn't there yet, the waiter greeted us and asked if we'd like to put in appetizers or wait on the rest of the party. Because I had read the reviews about the long waits, I was first to say let's place some apps now. Apps came out at scattered times, but it was ok because we passed around what did come out. Shortly after everyone arrived, we placed the dinner order. Again, some dishes took longer than others, but because the wine was flowing and folks were fellowshipping, it wasn't a big deal at all. I did walk past the 2nd dining area to get to the bathroom and I have to say I wouldn't have been happy to have been sat back there. There was actually another bday celebration going on back there as well. Overall service was great and all of the staff were friendly and attentive considering they had at least 3 bday celebrations going on at the same time. Now about the food.... IT WAS ALL GOOD!! EVERYTHING!! lamb chops (well done), crabcakes, fried fish, calamari, shrimp tostetones, lobster mac, crab fried rice, asparagus, and much more. We brought our own cake, and they had no problem cutting it up for us. Things to note: BYOB- $15 corkage fee. 20% gratuity added. Not sure if there was a cake cutting fee. FREE parking on street or in lot next to PNC.

After being directed to the kiosk, I was unsure of what to do while waiting for my order. When an employee (who identified herself as the owner's wife) approached me, the way she addressed me regarding sitting down felt dismissive and unprofessional rather than welcoming. As a new customer who was already confused by the system, this left a poor first impression. I came in hoping for a great experience at a local business, but I felt disrespected during the interaction. I was hoping to try their ramen, but ended up ordering the shrimp tacos based on the suggestion of the day. I hope the management considers how they interact with new customers, as it really impacted my desire to return. Although the food was great and the owner was very kind and respectful, the way his wife acted wasn't very kind and professional. Maybe next time I'll DoorDash.

This was a really great spot. My coworker and I were over in North Jersey for work but flew in and out of PHL rather than facing Newark. In order to beat the crazy construction traffic outside of Philly and to have a buffer for whatever TSA nightmare we were going to face, we got back near the airport early... like 4 1/2 hours before our flight kind of early. I wanted breakfast outside of the airport so I found this spot while he was refilling the rental car. I got the French toast with homefries. The french toast was perfect, with just a tiny bit of crisp in spot from the griddle. Same with the homefries. I would have liked a bit more seasoning while they were cooking, but a bit of salt and pepper and I was good to go. My coworker got the big breakfast but subbed out the homefries for corned beef hash. While I'm not a fan of corned beef hash, it looked exactly like how my mom and grandfather like it, with a little bit of crisp to it. The pancake was huge and he said his over medium eggs were cooked exactly like he hoped they would be. Now I just need to plan out my flights so I can come get breakfast here again and try one of the sandwiches, or omelettes, or maybe get French toast again...

    After an early morning drop-off at the airport, we ducked into Folcroft Diner for breakfast. More…read moretimes than not I order something non-breakfast-y for my first meal of the day. Today was no exception. Their grilled chicken sandwich was not what I hoped for. On the plus side, it was a generous portion of chicken, most of which I took home. As a negative -- at least for me -- I like a flat filet, with grill marks. This was "chunky," rendering it clumsy to eat. It simply didn't taste grilled at all. And the chicken was dry. T ordered a country omelet that was filled with breakfast meats, cheddar and peppers. Though not my thing, I agreed it was pretty good. His grits were creamy, buttery and delicious. Coffee is strong and served in the old-fashioned heavy mugs that I favor. Our server was friendly. ("Where are you from?" she asked, picking up on my Brooklyn accent.) I asked if Greek lemon soup is ever on the menu. She said that the owners are Turkish, then gave me a rundown of their specialties, all of which sound delish. (Alas, no avgolemono.) I wouldn't hesitate to return to Folcroft. The menu is diverse, the restaurant is clean -- as pointed out by another Yelper AND our waitress. If you order the right thing, you'll no doubt be pleased.

Hoping that what we say online from so many people in Delco was the definitive answer for a wonderful Stromboli, the drive out to Lansdowne was done and there I stood in front of the unique counter that drops down about six feet into the kitchen, a setup I simply still don't really understand, waiting for the boli promised to be the ultimate in its field by the people of the area. We had ordered the roast pork stromboli and when it arrived from deep within the bowels of the seemingly subterranean kitchen, I could see the steam coming from the box and could smell the delicious amalgamation of cheese, meat, and sauces within the folded dough. I raced the box back to the car and quickly drove home to cut the thing open to find exactly what I had hoped. An explosion of delicious flavor in all of its glory; still piping hot, quickly devoured! While I cannot say definitively that this is absolute best Stromboli in Delco or "that I've ever had" as I was guaranteed it was, it was exceptionally outstanding. I will be returning here whenever I am passing by the area and will be trying other stromboli offerings. If you are local or simply nearby, you should check out Paul Revere as well and experience the wonder of a top-tier, interestingly different, Stromboli from the heavens of the kitchen of deliciousness.
