Philadelphia | Generous Deal $25.99 Covers 2 Days of Meals

🍲 I stopped by for sukiyaki after work—I’d been craving this sweet flavor for a while. Pairing it with Japanese sparkling juice really elevated the vibe! Personally, I love the Mikan (mandarin) flavor sparkling juice. The sukiyaki is packed with ingredients: the beef is fresh with beautiful marbling. For $18.99 plus a side of rice, it’s small but satisfying. I ordered two appetizers: karaage (fried chicken) and takoyaki (octopus balls). Recommend the fried chicken! The batter is super thin, simply seasoned with salt and pepper, and it’s so juicy—totally memorable. Only wish the portion was a bit bigger! The takoyaki is topped with tons of bonito flakes, haha! Inside, there are plenty of chewy octopus pieces, and they didn’t overdo the mayo—definitely a plus. Now the highlight: The Big Eater Challenge For $25.99, the challenge comes with heaps of meat, 3 soft-boiled eggs, loads of cabbage, bean sprouts, green onions, and ramen. It’s easily enough to take home and eat for a whole day! The ramen is full of flavor—rich tonkotsu (pork bone) and garlic taste, which I love. The huge amount of toppings makes it so satisfying. Finish it all, and you get 3 free ramen coupons—but here’s the big find! Even if you can’t finish it, you still get a reward: 1 free ramen coupon! So if you don’t want to take the challenge, you can just take it home for a day’s meal, and the free coupon means your next day’s meal is covered too!! You can come back and try a different ramen flavor—$25.99 covers 2 days of meals, straight up. The owner is super generous—they even gave us extra boxed homemade coconut jelly. It’s a natural, delicious treat that left me totally full and happy! 📍 Ramen Umai @Ramen Umai 32 S 40th St, Philadelphia, PA 19104 #PhillyArea #Philadelphia #PhiladelphiaLife #DailyFood #PhiladelphiaFood #PhiladelphiaFoodTour #PhillyCheesesteak #GrilledCheeseSteak #PhiladelphiaEats
