Mawn
Price: Very Expensive•Cambodian•5(134)Mawn is a noodle house with “no rules,” and the first restaurant for Chef Phila Lorn and his wife Rachel, who bring with them close to 20 years of experience in Philly’s restaurant scene. Phila, pronounced “Pee La,” broken English for Philadelphia, is a first-generation Cambodian-American chef. The first in his family to be born here, his parents and siblings came to Philadelphia as refugees in 1985 after surviving the war in Cambodia.
Mawn, which means “chicken” in Khmer, the Cambodian language, represents more than one thing. To Phila, chicken was at every meal growing up, and to his parents, chicken represented peacetime. During the war and genocide of the Cambodian people, there was mostly only what was found in nature to eat, including rice and salt. If there was chicken, it meant no war. At the end of that dark time, recipes were lost, and culture was wiped out, but through survival, a new authenticity was born.637 Philly Sushi Club
Price: Very Expensive•Japanese•5(14)Welcome to 637 Philly Sushi Club — an 8-seat omakase theater hidden behind a bookshelf in Northern Liberties.

This isn’t just dinner. It’s Yanaga Theater — a 20+ course sushi journey told one piece at a time.
Expect dishes like the Japanese deviled egg with toro tartare, hand-pressed bozushi, and our signature black cod hand roll, all prepared and served as part of a carefully choreographed progression.
There are no substitutions, no menu, no compromises — just surrender to the rhythm of the night.

Pizzeria Salvy
Price: Moderate•Italian•4.9(31)“Pizzeria Salvy is my father’s Philadelphia story. It’s a story of persistence and perseverance. It’s a story of my childhood, and all the flavors and experiences I remember.”
The latest from acclaimed Chef Marc Vetri, Pizzeria Salvy borrows its name from Marc’s beloved father, Sal. “My father has been at the center of everything when it comes to my restaurant career,” says Marc. “From the meatballs to the family meals he has made for the last 25 years, it’s only fitting that we dedicate this project to him."
Pizzeria Salvy offers a curated selection of 12-inch pizzas. Salads, seasonal vegetables, and (of course) Sal’s Meatballs round out a menu inspired by heritage and heart, family and Philadelphia.

- CChrisNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was the first time we were eating at Butcher and Singer. Everything and everyone were all good. It was a little dark inside but everything turned out fabulous. I would definitely returnMore infoButcher & SingerPrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Center City•4.8
- WWendyVIPPhiladelphia County •35 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoIt may seem strange but I took two pescatarians to dinner at Fogo de Chao, where we all found more than enough to make an outstanding meal. We dined only at the salad bar aka Market Table. A great choice of items, from the expected lettuce and tomato to roasted eggplant and zucchini, heats of palm, a few cheeses, some smoked salmon, a variety of fruits, lots of salad-related edibles (from a chicken salad to a Brazilian bean salad and more). The wealth of choice made this an easy place for my two non-meat-eating friends to make a super dinner. The service was exceptional, even as we did a self-service meal Staff were appropriately attentive, even plying our table with a few on-the-house items from the kitchen (roasted plantain, roasted polenta, mashed potatoes, all very good). Yes, it's a big expensive, but it was worth it. One further note: the restaurant was pleasantly quiet, even as it filled with customers. What a pleasure!More infoFogo de Chao - PhiladelphiaPrice: Moderate• Brazilian• Center City•4.5
