My roomie, Eman and I have gone every year since freshman year of college.
This year we hit up Mantra, and o man was it awesome!!!
This was probably the best restaurant we went to for restaurant week yet!
It had a very unique menu, and they classified their restaurant as Asian Soul Food.
My personal favorite were the Salmon Nori rolls pictured below:
It's a small cafe kind of place with really cool looking Asian decorations and designs. It's got a full on bar with flat screen TVs and private dining up stares for parties of all sorts.
Our waiter was this guy named Kevin, who told us he's also the bar tender and he was probably the coolest waiter I've ever met. He had cool lookin tattoos and was so funny, but the only problem was, he graduated from VILLANOVA!!!!! Hahhaah
I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for some awesome food with friends, or even that special guy or girl you wanna impress!
Mantra is located on 122 South 18th Street in Philadelphia.
Here's a picture of all of us eating at Mantra:
