"After 5 years of great buzz, the owners decided to end its operations in Philly at the end of June to focus on Tokyo." - Ernest Owens
"This Queen Village BYOB stands out in a sea of Philly ramen shops because they make their own noodles. It's pretty casual: order at the counter, take a number, and serve yourself water while you wait for the goods to arrive. Their rotating Monday night specials are reliably good. But, when in doubt, go for the shoyu ramen. Each bowl has a couple of pieces of pork chashu in a deeply flavorful chicken broth with house shoyu and toppings like scallion, menma, and ajitama." - Candis Mclean
"You’ve found yourself displaced in a sea of Flyers, Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers fans. The one thing that can comfort you is a brothy bowl of ramen, so why not go for the best? Head to Queen Village’s Neighborhood Ramen for tan tan with a spicy pork broth and crunchy sesame seeds, and pair it with a refreshing sesame salad to counter some of the ramen’s subtle sizzle. The BYOB doesn’t take reservations, so the line can get pretty long on the weekends. But it’s worth the wait, and it’s not nearly as long as the one your friends are in at Xfinity Live!" - Candis Mclean
"When the seasons change, one of the first things you want is a bowl of hot soup to warm you up. Neighborhood Ramen, one of the best ramen spots in the city, has you covered. When you stop by the cozy noodle shop, try the shoyu ramen. Each bowl has a couple of juicy pieces of pork chashu seeping with flavorful chicken broth, house shoyu, and toppings like scallion, menma, and ajitama. It’s a comforting blend that will make you feel almost grateful that the temperature dropped below 50 degrees. Almost. " - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
"Sure, most of the bowls of ramen on Neighborhood Ramen’s short menu have a chicken or pork stock base, but they also happen to have our favorite vegetarian ramen in Philadelphia. The Yasai has a vegetable dashi broth with roasted mushrooms, bamboo shoots, shiso oil, and a soy egg, and it’s our go-to meal whenever we’re under the weather. There are a couple of vegetarian sides that are excellent as well, like spicy pickles and a crunchy sesame cabbage salad." - Candis Mclean
