The Once-Over: Koo Zee Doo

After a much-anticipated opening, we sat down and enjoyed a meal at the new Portuguese BYOB, Koo Zee Doo. The Northern Liberties restaurant serves their entrees and appetizers family style, allowing the table to enjoy favorite ingredients and to try new ones. Delicious and unique, the portions are just right, leaving you satiated but not [...]

The Once-Over: Kong

For this edition of The Once-Over, Phoodie man about town Collin Flatt and our editor Joey Sweeney checked out Kong, a new (and reasonably priced) Chinese Street Food sit-down (with bar, no BYOB here) in Northern Liberties. After the jump, the gruesome twosome jaw about what’s great — and what could use a little work [...]

The Once-Over: Ken Shin Asian Diner

A heads up to Phoodie readers to check out the new Asian-themed restaurant, Ken Shin Asian Diner at 3rd and Spring Garden in Northern Liberties. The atmosphere? Modern, simple and relaxed.

The Once-Over: Prohibition Taproom

Curiosity got the better of us last night, and we surrey’d on down to Prohibition Taproom at 13th and Buttonwood last night for a hearty test drive. And guess what: We kinda loved it. More than kinda, even. In fact, we’ll be back as soon as we can. Nestled firmly in what one friend calls [...]

The Once-Over: University City Dining Days at Marigold Kitchen

I’ve been itching to check out Marigold Kitchen since I read about the chef change in December, but the two times I went to make brunch reservations I couldn’t get a table until 2:30 in the afternoon, which we all know is nap time. So when University City Dining Days came around I booked a [...]

Phoodie on Location: Opening Night at Parc

Forget what you know about Stephen Starr, as we did after walking into Parc. Yesterday’s Bastille Day celebration had the perfect postlogue in a trip to the new French Bistro on Rittenhouse Square. Collin Flatt ate his way through a surprisingly affordable meal at the latest in a growing empire. Read it all after the jump.

The Once-Over: Kanella

We’ll admit it. Our knowledge of Greek food doesn’t go much beyond Gyros, Baklava, Tzatziki, and Moussaka. We like it, we love it, but that’s all we know. We haven’t been pushed or challenged with any Greek dishes. Enter Kanella.
 
Chef Konstantinos Pitsillides has created the restaurant of his dreams and ours. A Cypriat by birth, [...]

The Once-Over: Les Bon Temps

The rebirth of Center City Gastro has been much discussed and pontificated upon by locavores, foodies, and folks hoping for that Renaissance that’s been promised for what seems like FOREVER. Bindi, Apothecary, and grocery are the New Kids On The Block, joining Capogiro, El Vez, Lolita, and Vintage as the anchors of the Midtown Village [...]

The Once-Over: Devil’s Den

The opening of Devil’s Den just off of Washington Avenue means less crawling to the Pope and Cantina in SoPhi for us. We’ve actually been to this South Philly den of sin twice now. At exactly 6:20 PM on opening night, a fire broke out in the kitchen. Drinks continued to flow at the bar, [...]

The Once-Over: Tria In The Gayborhood

Real talk, Phoodie-delphians: Phoodie.info is a no-budget, yo-budget startup. We do it on the hunch that the Philly food scene is a wild jungle of see-ers, fools and mysterious miracles that makes the music scene look positively staid and boring by comparison. But rules are rules: And to do the legit restaurant review the right [...]
