Morimoto
723 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19106
215.413.9070
Traditional Japanese eats in an uber-hip setting. From the moment you arrive you know Chef Morimoto (of TV's Iron Chef, by the way) and jedi-master restaurateur Stephen Starr are not messing around. Get frisky with a couple oyster shooters from the raw bar and warm up with the always tasty a la carte apps. You have to pay to play here, but trust us, it's worth it.
Buddakan
325 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19106
215.574.9440
Nothing puts you at ease like enjoying delicious food in front of an enormous statue of Buddha. Another Stephen Starr production, this place makes you feel like you're in the heart of Hong Kong. We half-expected Jackie Chan to waltz in and start kicking somebody's ass. The dumplings can't be beat. It's family-friendly and enjoys a great location right in the heart of Philly. Oh yeah, and there's a waterfall.
Susanna Foo
1512 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19102
215.545.2666
World class wine list? Very French! Delightful dumplings with names like Mongolian lamb pillows? So chic Chinese! Welcome to Susanna Foo, where a unique mix of Chinese and French ingredients, techniques, and flare are the order of the day, every day. While it is mildly expensive and the portions are small, the upscale ambience more than makes up for. Sit in the Red Lantern room and order a Chinese Firecracker to drink to make your meal super-sneaky.
Pod
3636 Sansom Street Philadelphia, PA 19104
215.387.1803
This Steven Starr restaurant is flashy with futuristic décor, with sit down, light up stools. Light that ass up for everyone to see! Sushi and small dishes are carried around the seating area by a conveyor belt; watch your fingers!
Cin Cin
7838 Germantown Ave Philadelphia, PA 19118
215.242.8800
This excellent Chinese restaurant is located on Germantown avenue with an elaborate menu. The General Tso' Chicken is must. Wait staff also rock!
Osaka
901 Market Street Philadelphia, PA 19107
215.627.6797
Roll with the punches for some of the most excellent fresh sushi roll combos around. You can also order off the Japanese-fusion menu.
