Heng Seng Restaurant - Review - South Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"You won’t log many steps heading from New Phnom Penh to Hen Seng—they’re down the street from each other. And while they both have throwback charm (and hours that only allow you to dig in during the daytime), there are a few reasons why this decades-old business stands out. At the cash only spot, large booths line the walls, deep-fried dough gets dunked into a warming bowl of congee at almost every round table, and although the noodle soups average around $5 more, they’re generously portioned for two or three. They’re all excellent, but we love the hieu tieu nam vang. It’s smoky pork clear broth, stewed veggies, tender shrimp, and thin rice noodles come to mind every time it rains. photo credit: Gab Bonghi photo credit: Gab Bonghi photo credit: Gab Bonghi photo credit: Gab Bonghi photo credit: Gab Bonghi Pause Unmute" - Candis R.
