When Spice End first opened, I ran over to check out the kati rolls and was pretty pleased, especially by the lamb kebab. On my revisit, almost exactly a year later, I intended to try a Spice End platter. However, the new 1 year anniversary lunchbox caught my eye- a kati roll and biryani for $7.50. It is available Monday-Friday, during lunch.

Chinese food west of Broad street is usually a bad idea. Although I was pretty skeptical of Jane G’s, the new lunch combos looked somewhat decent and was a closer walk compared to Chinatown.

The Foolish Waffles truck is only a few months old. More of a savory gal, I was really intrigued by the meat topped waffle options. I tracked the truck for a few weeks, finally finding a convenient location for me to check them out.

Hai Street Kitchen opened at the end of May and has been busy every since. Philly seems to be responding well to oversized, sushi rolls made to order with traditional and non traditional ingredients. I waited a bit for my chance to try them, the line out the door the first week was too much for a quick lunch break. When I went, the line was contained to the inside and moved fast. Pick a protein, sauce, and vegetables or choose from 6 preset signature rolls. Set up like other build your own style places, you make your way down the counter as your ingredients are added to your roll.
