Pennsylvania. A Food Review, Part Deux.

Part 2 of my culinary adventure. We travel to Allen Town, PA. Where I cross two restaurants off my list.

Chen Vegetarian. A vegan Chinese Restaurant. I love this concept. I find Chinese food pretty heavy feeling after eating it so finding a healthier lighter version using plant based foods is amazing. Luckily it was right along the main strip of Allen Town as I walked around a bit and shopped.

I got a carrot, apple, beet, and ginger juice and some steamed dumplings. I wish I would’ve taken a pic of the dumplings….the skins were bright green! They looked crazy. The juice was super refreshing as I had been traipsing around in the heat for quite a bit by the time I stopped. 8/10 would totally go again and get some takeout. Unfortunately I wouldn’t eat in the restaurant during the summer because like many places in PA…no Air Conditioning. It was so stuffy in there. The food was delicious though!

Takki Ramen! A little of the main beaten path in Allen Town but still easy to get to. I placed my take out order and waited in this cute little restaurant and enjoyed the ambiance. I got Karaage Chicken and Black Garlic Tonkatsu Ramen. 10/10 would eat there again. The chicken was spicy but the perfect amount where you wanted to keep eating it and the Ramen was beautifully packaged and traveled really well. Pork Belly is so good! A bonus…I got to eat someone’s leftovers for lunch the next day and got to eat the Sukiyaki Beef Udon. Also fantastic.

It was a bit of a heft to get to Allen Town but I’m glad I made the trek. I believe there was another restaurant over there I wanted to try but never got the chance so next time!
