"Guidebooks will point you to Pat's or Geno's for the best cheesesteak sandwich, but many locals tell you to go to John's Roast Pork. In South Philly near the Delaware River, city views are offered with your food. With breakfast all day and many sandwiches on the menu, if it's your first time, get the standard cheesesteak sandwich with American cheese. It comes out hot with melted cheese perfectly even through the meat. It's very tasty! So much that the James Beard Foundation gave it a nod years back. Being a Philly institution since 1930, they sell Pepsi products. If you go for lunch, expect to wait 20 minutes or so for your food, but it's worth the wait. Outdoor seating is in the back."

The food was incredibly over-salted; I couldn't even finish the first bite.

Best pork sandwich in the city. Hands down. Get the works with garlicy spinach and sharp provolone. Get here early for lunch like 11:45 or earlier to avoid the lunch rush even on weekdays. People will treck it here because it's that good. You don't want to get stuck behind a long office lunch order. Pork sandwiches are served very quickly and cheese steaks take a bit longer. I also got onion rings and they are crisp and flavorful.

John's is the place to go for sandwiches! We tried their cheesesteak with American cheese (they don't serve cheese whiz, just so you know) and grilled onions, and they grill everything together, ensuring each bite is packed with flavor. However, their pork sandwich is the absolute best. Be sure to order it with sharp provolone and spinach! We also got the long hot peppers on the side, and it was simply incredible! Plus, John, the owner, came out to chat with us and even gave us t-shirts! He's really down-to-earth and super generous.

"We were there celebrating two birthdays. Our server Faith was wonderful. She was attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable about the menu. We were a table of 6 and ordered quite a bit of food, some of which was great and others lackluster. The bao buns were great and the small calamari salad was huge and those who had it said delicious. The spareribs were good as well as the edamame dumplings, although the way those were served made it hard to fully enjoy. Each dumpling should be on a individual type spoon so you can enjoy the soup part as well as the dumpling. The way they were served in one large bowl with only one spoon made it so the soup part is left at the bottom. I did request extra spoons from the expediter but they never came. The worst part of our appetizer course was somehow an item was switched to another in the computer and served to us. It had shellfish in it and that wasn’t known when someone at our table who doesn’t eat shellfish ate it. The sashimi was good but the tuna tartare thing was really bad. The entrees we had were the duck, which I was told was delicious, the miso cod, which was fishy, the whole fish which was tasteless, the lobster fried rice, which was okay but lacking flavor. The best dish was the black pepper beef, it was delicious and elegantly served. We had all the sides and all were quite good especially the eggplant and the wasabi mashed potatoes. It was a nice evening but it felt a little stale for a Starr restaurant."
