The 16 Best Japanese Restaurants In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"During lunchtime, this Chinatown restaurant can get packed. But once you get a whiff of miso in the air and taste the steamed shrimp shumai and ramen, you’ll know it’s worth the wait. Most things on the menu are under $15, and you’ll be thinking about the spicy miso ramen through dinner time. With curly noodles, heaps of cabbage, fried burdock root, onion, and chashu swimming in the bowl, the only thing that’ll hold you back is deciding whether to use your spoon or chopsticks for the first bite." - candis mclean, alison kessler
