Hind R: Tuna spring roll, Edmami dumplings and their Dumpling donuts are so good.
Bloomingdale's: A huge gold Buddha beams down as you live it up, modern Mandarin-style, in this dark dramatically lit palace. Contemporary Chinese dishes and the house Zen-gria keep the Asian spirit flying.
JJ: Trendy atmosphere, great service and awesome food!! My favs are the calamari salad, shrimp and lobster spring rolls, chilean sea bass and dim sum donuts for dessert!!!

Sherri Wayne: Seafood fried rice is delicious. I also enjoyed the rising sun cocktail. Its a sweet drink served in a martini glass.
Philadelphia Magazine: The University City sushi restaurant offers a $25 all-you-can-eat sushi deal on Tuesday nights after 9 p.m. Reservations (and gluttony pants) are highly recommended. Read more.
The Corcoran Group: One of the very best places to eat in Philly. Reserve your table beforehand and try to get seated in one of the Pods, where you can change the lighting and be separated from the rest of the crowd.

Mayskie: The restaurant highly recommends this dish out of their top 4. I love the basil flavor in this dish.
Emily Anastasi: Volcanic hen takes a while to prepare, but is worth the wait. Other must haves include: chicken coconut soup, mango curry, Thai dumplings.
John Anastasi: The spicy seafood soup/drunken noodle with pork is a solid order here.
