Olivia Gillison: The salmon, shrimp and tofu are all good options. Plus the vegetable sides are very flavorful and well seasoned. Definitely will be back again.
Tarah Feinberg: Good choice for paleo, vegan, generally healthy choices. Cajun shrimp, sweet potatoes, kale & squash salad were all good.
David: The pork is good. The carrot fries are great. Everything is gluten-free, and they have vegan options. Everything is flavorful.

Vietnamese Restaurant · Bella Vista - Southwark · 39 tips and reviews
cupkeyk: I ordered #1: Slices of Eye-Round SteakWell-done flank, fat brisket, soft tendon and beef tripe. Delicious, hot soup. Add some fish sauce, hoisin and shiracha then it'll taste amazing. Drip coffee.
Philadelphia Magazine: Anthony Bourdain ate some pho for breakfast at Pho 75 to cure the hangover from his first night in Philadelphia while filming for The Layover.
Serious Eats: Sparse, efficient pho restaurant that defies the "fast, cheap or good, pick two" ethos. Excellent pho, but don't look for much else.

Middle Eastern Restaurant · Cedar Park · 27 tips and reviews
Sophia H: Get almond-crusted french toast!! BEST french toast ever, even better than Sabrina's french toasts. It's perfect, not too heavy or overly sweet. Shrimps and grits and brussels sprouts were great too.
BeWhy Wisdom: Try the Beat Salad. The beets are sweet and the sugary walnuts contrast the goat cheese nicely.
Layla O'Showy: I heart their foul.

Matt Sandy: PB and bacon burger with a side order of tater tots topped with pulled pork. BOOM
Philly.com: Check out the "Voodoo" – a hot dog with shredded cajun chicken, American Cheese, onion strings and string sauce on a toasted New England-style roll. Read more.
Jake Smith: Order a side of onion strings and ask for an extra side of the special dipping sauce. Whatever it is, this creamy orange magic does deliciously impressive work on taste buds.

Ethiopian Restaurant · Spruce Hill · 17 tips and reviews
Cheapism: Best cheap Ethopian food in W.Philly, hidden in this split-personality coffee shop/authentically ethnic East African cafe. Try a tangy dorowat stew of spicy, slow-braised chicken in red pepper gravy. Read more.
C Love Lee: Great cafe options, smoothies, and dishes.
Karla Sosa: Generous portions of great Ethiopian food
