Kitchen at Bala 5004 City Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19131

"For $25 I got the proportion the size for a five or six-year-old and it was extremely salty!!!!!"

"I wasn't expecting a pool hall and arcade games, but the vibe was relaxed and everyone was friendly. The food though! While the bar is cash only the kitchen (a window on the back wall where the entrance is) takes cards, and makes delicious everything. I really enjoyed my stir fry (bright, flavorful, really generous portions) and crunchy delicious brussel sprouts (crispy, lightly greasy and addictive). They're open late (a Philly rarity) and less than 20 mins from The Mann, I highly recommend this place!"

"DO NOT ORDER TAKE OUT FROM THIS RESTAURANT. I received this order of what is apparently a wing of some creature that may have been mauled by some creature. Or it's unclean chicken the restaurant did not even bother to defeather.I have never eaten here in person but I imagine the kitchen is unsanitary."

"My salmon cheesesteak seemed like it was sat on top of soup.. the bread was SOAKED. 100% inedible. I will not be ordering from here ever again."

"Sasha is the best chef in town! She took all of my personal requests into mind. Through her customer service, it becomes evident how she really cares about making food that her guests will love. Below, I’m sharing a photo of my go-to mouthwatering plate from Bala Inn! The Mac n Cheese is so rich and perfectly cheesy. The sweet potato fries are made to perfection — and they get even better with the house brown sugar + butter sauce that Sasha invented. DONT GET ME STARTED ON THIS SALMON! MINDBLOWN! Didn’t know salmon could be cooked this well — perfectly crispy on the outside and JUICY and flavorful on the inside! You’ll never have a bigger, better portion of salmon anywhere else!! (The shrimp is from my partner’s plate of Cajun shrimp from Bala Inn!)"
