Spotted: Union Protesters at Cheu Noodle Bar

Posted by Foobooz on January 9th, 2013

The under construction Cheu Noodle Bar (255 S 10th Street) is facing union protesters today and had them yesterday as well. We’ve seen union protesters over the past few months at the Corner Foodery site and Philadelphia Cupcake at 20th and South.

Has anyone spotted them at any other Philadelphia restaurant construction sites recently?

First Bite: Bibimbop at Rice & Mix

Posted by Arthur Etchells on April 30th, 2012

Rice & Mix has softly opened at 1207 Walnut Street. Rice & Mix is Yong Chi’s sequel to Giwa on Sansom Street. The Walnut Street spot is open for lunch and dinner six days a week and offers many of the same dishes in Giwa, but in a much roomier 60-seat restaurant.

Today I stopped in for lunch and tried the hot stone bowl bibimbop with spicy pork. To anyone familiar who is a fan of Giwa, the sizzling bowl will be a welcome sight. The Stone bowl arrived via a service cart (no dropping searing hot bowls) with carrots, bok choy, egg, sprouts and the pork. It didn’t bring as much heat as I might have liked, but the spicy sauce on the side added some spice to the dish.

In addition to the bibimbop (available in a regular bowl or for $3 more, in a sizzling bowl) the menu also offers:

Dup Bop – protein over rice
Soon Du Bu – Soft tofu stew with vegetables
Jap Chae – Vermicelli noodles with vegetables
Galbi – Grilled beef short rib
