Philly Food | Fine Dining That Feels Inspired by Chinese Flavors 🍜

A small restaurant by pasta master James Nardone β€” only a few tables, open for dinner Wed–Sat, sandwiches on Sunday. Not wildly hyped, but still book ahead due to the intimate space. They used to offer prix fixe only, but now Γ  la carte makes it even more wallet-friendly. The menu changes often based on seasonal ingredients, so no specific dish recs β€” just go with friends and try a bit of everything. Check out what we ate that day β€” every dish was so palate-pleasing we wondered if the chef had studied in Asia (turns out no!). Translated into Asian-style names, our meal looked something like: πŸ– Sweet & sour beef ribs πŸ₯Ÿ Wang Zhong Wang meatballs πŸ… Plum-infused tomatoes πŸ¦† Scallion oil duck drumettes 🍝 Laksa-inspired pasta 🌽 Corn soft candy πŸ₯― Cream puff 🍞 Crispy golden milk buns The quality ingredients and the chef’s heart came through in every bite β€” I finished a modern Italian meal feeling like I’d just woken from a savory Chinese food dream 😌. Definitely worth returning β€” and don’t forget: BYOB! 🍷 πŸ“ Elma 431 E Girard Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19125 #HiddenGem #Foodie #PhillyEats #PhillyLife #Philadelphia #Philly #StudyAbroad
