    Happy Hour is great because the food is fantastic, the drinks are reasonable, and there is room to sit at the bar! Also, Bartender Tim rocks, charming both with knowledge & sincerity. Go!

    Inspired by the unique hybrid of Peruvian and Cantonese cuisine more common in Peru. This Jose Garces spot, known for its Pork Belly Buns, has an tasting menu that is to die for!

    Food was delicious! Get the pork buns. Staff was super nice. Waitress accidentally spilled red wine on my coat, but they cleaned it, gave me a free drink, and said to send them a dry cleaning bill.

    The crab empanadas, barbecue pork ribs, and mussels in fragrant coconut broth are all things we'd recommend and that landed this place a spot on our list of 50 Best Restaurants in Philly! Read more

    Chifa's concept raised a few eyebrows when first revealed, but the Cantonese-Peruvian fusion restaurant proved that with the right execution, anything is possible. Pork Buns and Ceviche are the stuff. Read more

    Lobster bowl, and house Cheng Chao-Chilcano to drink. You'll never be disappointed. Oh, and plenty of pan de bono, of course. .

    Ask for the yuca/cheese bread they serve at dinner if you're at the bar--it's not on the menu, but you can order it and enjoy the cheesy goodness. Read more

    Peruvian/Cantonese fusion. The unique dishes such as the duck tacos and crab empanadas are worth trying. Many types of ceviche are also on the menu.

    If you get nothing else, get the Chinese five spice pork. One of the best dishes I have ever eaten.

    Order the Thai Sausage Sandwich. The slightly sweet, aromatic Thai sausage is house-made, and the perfect counterpoint to the fire of the mayo and hot peppers. YUM! Read more
