Hiro Ramen

"This small shop in Midtown Village almost feels like a small noodle shop in Osaka, except there are Phillies fans out front. The main attraction here is the black pig ramen with creamy Berkshire pork tonkotsu broth and slow-cooked pork belly. It’s rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced between heat and saltiness. " - Candis Mclean

"Hiro Ramen House is a small, low-key ramen spot in Center City that’s open every day for lunch and dinner. It’s dark inside, with just a few tables and a bar, but that makes it a perfect place to stop for a quick bowl of soup during work by yourself, or with a few coworkers when you’re trying to hide from the rest of your office. The menu is mostly ramen, with variations like chicken soy or a spicy version called “Gates of Hell,” plus smaller plates like pork gyoza and seaweed salad." - Sydney McElwee

"Most of Hiro’s seven ramen offerings start with Berkshire pork tonkotsu broth and then get layered with ingredients like pork belly, corn, chili oil, and roasted garlic oil. There are also options with chicken broth, chicken and pork bone broth, and vegetables." - Sarah Maiellano

"You could easily stay at Porta after SIPS ends and have a full meal of pizza and wine. But if you want somewhere a little more low-key for dinner, walk down the street to Hiro Ramen. It’s a small place with just a couple of tables and a bar, and it’ll work perfectly whether you’re with a few friends or just want to get some food by yourself. The menu is mostly ramen, with options like chicken soy or a spicy version called “Gates of Hell,” plus smaller plates like pork gyoza and seaweed salad." - Sydney Mcelwee
