"South Philly’s I Heart Cambodia is always bustling with people picking up papaya salads and noodle soups for a night in, and families drinking egg sodas and debating what else to order. But no matter how busy it gets, there’s always space for an impromptu solo meal. Go for the summer rolls, soy-drenched beef lok lak, and whole fish. It’s a lot of food, but the friendly staff will never rush you, and it tastes almost as good for lunch the next day." - alison kessler
