I recently visited Ernest and Sons and had mixed feelings about the experience. The place itself is…read morenicely decorated with a cool Philly theme, and I appreciated the variety of Philly-style sandwiches and specials on the menu. Unfortunately, the service really fell short. It took way too long just to be acknowledged. The hostess was friendly, but the big man behind the counter, looked right past me twice and took another customer's order before mine. Thankfully, a younger gentleman stepped in and took my order, which I appreciated. As for the food, the cheesesteak was very disappointing. It lacked seasoning completely, and the only thing that somewhat saved it was the extra ketchup I added. I couldn't even finish it there, I ended up taking it home and fixing it myself just to make it edible. Being a Philly native, I had higher expectations. The hoagies are actually good, but the cheesesteaks just don't live up to what you'd expect. Overall, not the worst experience, but definitely not one I'd rush back for.

Their boba drinks are so good -- super flavorful, perfectly sweet, and the tapioca pearls are always fresh and chewy.

The chicken teriyaki dumplings are also amazing -- juicy and flavorful inside, and that teriyaki glaze ties it all together. Such a perfect combo.
