Nine Ting - Review - Chinatown - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"At this Korean-style BYOB in Chinatown there’s a private room, comfortable booths, and dates fishing for the squid ring they plopped in the kimchi-style broth minutes ago. Boiling soup is the name of the game here. You can get individual bowls of broth, but if your friends are down to try a bunch, you can get up to three in a large basin. The spicy Thai is a must, along with the rolls of lamb shoulder and beef. Your table will get overcrowded with green onions, diced garlic, and a hybrid hoisin-soy sauce you just concocted at the topping station. But all that bowl carrying will help you work up an appetite. video credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO" - Candis R. McLean
