Philly Is Seriously Not Short of Amazing Restaurants

Little Fish is unreasonably good… like, every single dish is a hit. No misses. 🐚 Scallop Toast Raw scallops on buttery, crispy toast, drizzled with spicy chili oil, tamari, and chives. One bite and the layers just explode in your mouth. Pure magic. 🐟 Big Eye Tuna Crudo Charred onion bits, refreshing cucumber slices, melt-in-your-mouth thin-sliced tuna, and fresh parsley sauce. Completely shattered my impression of tuna being heavy — this was light, bright, and honestly feels like something I could recreate at home (famous last words). 🦐 Shrimp Papaya Salad Herbs, cabbage, finger chili, vinaigrette. The shrimp was tender and aromatic, with this lovely rich oiliness. I never eat radish or purple cabbage — but this plate? Sweet tangy dressing, crispy fried shallots, cilantro, mint… every bite was like a kaleidoscope of flavor. 🐟 Some soft white fish (can’t remember the name), served with grilled Chinese broccoli, refreshing, thin rice noodles, and a tangy herbal sauce — totally transported me to Southeast Asia. Unexpected MVP? The grilled Chinese broccoli. No one understands my obsession with wok hei 😭. 🦀 Loved the crab pasta — crab, fish roe, uni, all swirled into a creamy sauce that clung perfectly to the pale green noodles. Every bite made me think: thank goodness my mom gave birth to me. (Mother’s Day vibes still lingering — gratitude forever.) 🥖 Bread & butter Butter was mixed with rose petals — so fresh and fragrant! Just don’t eat too much or you’ll fill up before the good stuff 😂. 🧺 Plates were stunning too — vintage, delicate, ceramic. 🍃 Open kitchen — honestly felt like hanging out with a bunch of friends who just love life and food. They chatted and laughed while cooking, and it really felt like dining at someone’s private home. The warmth, the flavor, the vibe — it all comes down to the owners’ passion, their pursuit of good food, and their genuine love for what they do. #Philadelphia #LittleFish #ScallopToast #HiddenGem #OpenKitchenVibes #SeafoodLover
