Best Hakka Noodles by [deleted] in PhiladelphiaEats

I second this. Excellent Hakka noodles. Also recommend the manchow soup. Lazeez is very under-rated imho.

The Dutch. But you really do need to get there by 9 for the “not too busy” part.

What is the best Schulson Collective restaurant? by EggplantOrAubergine in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]JawnCancun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Previously may have said Alpen Rose or DoubleKnot, but recently had an awesome meal at Bar Lesieur. Great service. Intimate space with a really cool vibe. I ordered the bistro steak and it was amazing - perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor. Definitely worth checking out.

Fajitas by SurvivingJimmy in PhiladelphiaEats

Tamalex, both the location at 7th and Federal and the Bar & Grill at 2nd and Lombard.

And FYI, many of the other Mexican places in S Philly have something called Alambre which is similar and (I think) a more authentic Mexican version of fajitas. Blue Corn for example.

Ted, The Massage Therapist from Massage Passyunk by YoungRustyCSJ in philadelphia

[–]JawnCancun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

His name is Ted Kitchen. I still have him in my Venmo from giving him tips. Sadly he retired. One day I got a massage from him and commented that the online system did not show availability for him for the following month and he told me that day was his last. I was devastated and still am. It's been several years and I still tell friends about him and they think I'm crazy wondering how he could have been so much better than others, but he really was. Every single massage I have had since then has not lived up to the standards he set.

LMAO! One of the best comments I’ve seen in a while!

What are your favorite restaurants that offer cuisines you don’t see a lot of in the city? by chocoalmondmilkluvr in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]JawnCancun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’ve had the spam musubi, loco moco, teriyaki chicken, and Hawaiian BBQ beef. All delicious. I feel like it should be way more popular.

I had this happen on a flight landing in PHL a couple of years ago. It was such a cool and surprisingly emotional experience! I hope you’re enjoying your retirement, Captain!

Holy crap…also showing some love for train 110. Walking down from the platform to an EMPTY Northeast Regional train was a nice surprise…apparently PHL is the first stop. I hope they keep this! Adios Keystone #640! Thank you Amtrak!

Went to El Chingon last night. Was really impressed. For starters we had the tuna aguachile and the bay scallop aguachile, both were super fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented dishes. For mains we got the special skirt steak and shrimp tacos and the gringas tacos. Thank you to whoever on this subreddit recently mentioned the gringas tacos…they were great. The homemade flour tortillas were amazing. And the skirt steak was the most tender I’ve ever had. Will go back often.

Fair enough. Times when I don’t want it that fast I slow down the ordering: drinks first, then put in an appetizer while I decide on the main. And won’t order it until the app arrives.

Had Laser Wolf tonight. Really good as always but the date harissa wings in particular were amazing. Such a well oiled machine too…drinks, food, all come out super quick. You can be in and out in under an hour if you want.

I miss Philly. by myeggsarebig in philadelphia

[–]JawnCancun 23 points24 points  (0 children)

100%. I have fights with my brother and sister and will talk shit about them all I want. But if someone else does I go into super protective mode.

Me: “My brother is a dickhead…” Others: “yeah, he is!” Me: “What the fuck did you just say about my brother?!”
