Where to eat in the Northeast?
I recently moved to Torresdale and am looking for recommendations of some good local places to eat. So far, I have heard great things about Sweet Lucy's for BBQ and Malik's for Indian....but not much else. Is there any good Chinese in the area? Do you know of any places we should try? Thanks!

A little more upscale that the places you mentioned is Moonstruck, on Oxford Ave. just below Rhawn Street.
We have enjoyed several dinners here - lovely ambience, excellent service, and some very good food. And a parking lot!

Paloma at 6516 Castor Ave is "Haute Mexican" and I have enjoyed several meals there when I have been in the Northeast.

Picanah Brazilian Grill on Castor near Levick.
Near Moonstruck is a fantastic Italian Deli for Hoagies: Pepinella's at 118 Central Ave.
Gallo's Seafood at Holme Circle.
Charlies Pizzaria on the Blvd for great pizza
Steve's Prince of Steaks on Bustleton
Kelly's Seafood on Bustleton near Welsh
Jannie Jananese Chinese on Cottman east of Castor is a great bet for your Chinese fix, and sushi too, of course.
Check out Krewstown for Russian/Jewish fare. There is also Indian and Chinese in that strip too, oh, and a bagel place.

Makiman Sushi at Five Points at Cottman and Oxford is one of my favorite places to eat - best sushi I have ever had.
The Fox Chase Deli on Oxford Avenue is a GREAT place to grab a sandwich - they have phenomenal sandwiches that are made fresh. The place is always stocked with homemade salads, soups and one of the women there makes a terrific classic Italian tomato sauce and pasta dishes. It is family owned and operated, which I always like to support.
For a different spin on pizza, Santucci's is great, they make square tomato pies that I love - they have a few locations - the one I know is on the Roosevelt Boulevard at Solly Ave in the Acme lot.
I can agree with the other reply that Jannie, in the Roosevelt Mall on Cottman Ave, has great Chinese, but if your looking for sushi, make the short trip down Cottman Avenue to my first recommendation - Makiman.
