Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Old City

Amazing food and experience. Loved the whole experience.

First off I want to shout out our server Padraig. 11 out of 10 when it comes to service. From the beginning of the meal to the check, he made sure to check on our table and make fun conversation which was welcomed and appreciated. We asked Padraig what the best dishes on the menu were and he reccomeneded the Crispy Brussels (5 Stars) huge serving and we finished it all, Mandoo Veggie Fried (4.5 Stars), Ssam Bossam with Baechoo (4.6 Stars), and finally the Galbi Jjim (5 Stars). Everything was amazing and the timing of expo to table was perfectly executed. Highlights were the Crispy Brussels I also tried the Spicy Soju which I highly recommend if you like very spicy drinks. We went with the Apple Mango Soju which was very delicious, and was also recommended by Padraig. We will be back!

Delicious food, cool vibe and ambiance. So many fantastic choices to choose from. Our 2nd time there in a month from out of town. Our top rated vegan restaurant in Philly, and I've been to them all.

Again, this is a 4.5 star restaurant—across all categories, including value and quality of food. The service, for me, was top notch—not only were servers attentive but were very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in making my experience enjoyable. I had some nice recommendations regarding some simple questions posed (burger or fish and chips? For which I was guided to an excellent burger at perfect requested temperature!) and my water and Guinness glasses were kept filled without the servers being too cloying. The Guinness was an excellent pour as well, and the Brussels Sprouts appetizer with kielbasa was a different twist and also well prepared. The only nitpick I had in terms of food was the hand cut fires, which were house made and fresh, were a bit tepid and flabby when served. The other nitpick was a seating issue—I was a bit nippy while seated at a hi-top in the bar area—the side door which was directly behind me let in cold air each time it was open. This is practically uncorrectable by the restaurant—so treat this not as a condemnation but as a pro-tip for your experience there (don’t sit behind that door in the winter!) And you should go—this was a quality experience and would go again (and again).
