That place has been around for at least 15+ years. The guy started out as a cart near venango and germantown. Only sold pork and chicken kebabs before he opened the restaurant. Always had a line bc it smelled so good walking by. Glad to see he survived Covid and the bad neighborhood.

North Philly is wild but I found ppl tend to be nice and personable. When I brought some friends to N Philly and we were standing in line with that long azz Max's wait time, the locates had me cracking up.

Love this spot! I use to work around the area and would order food from here all the time. Cheap, clean, "healthier" than most joints. I sometime would come in and order just chicken kabobs in the rolls or the kabobs itself. But hands down, one of my favorite spot and I love the people who works there. Thank you for shining the spotlight onto this spot. Those are good people who works there and deserve the attention. 🙏

My guess was $60 plus tax. Figured $20 for each platter. That was a lot of food! That place is a hidden gem. Well it was hidden until this vid. 😂

The music in the background on point 👍🏼

It's one of those times you DO NOT want to watch on a empty stomach.. Man food looking good

Oh man, that food looks so fresh and delicious. That was so sweet of you to pay for that lady’s food. May God bless you and your family. ✝️

The prices just went up cause of this video also they either cut the portion size or gave you extra

I just went the prices are the same

The way you smiled on that first bite looked like one of those “I feel like a kid again” moments. Mad blissful. It’s cool what food can do to the soul.

Real talk with JL in the hood 😂That’s unbelievably affordable and you’re hilarious! 😍😂

Nothing better than an Asian Restaurant in the Hood. Best Chinese I had, was a fusion shack that sold collard greens on the menu alongside of dumplings and sweet ribs.

Is that portion because it’s you, or is that their normal portion amount?

One of your best episode ever! Asian hood spot with real, good food. 10 out of 10 is the right score. Most in important, bang for your buck. $38 for 3 combos! That place is feeding the community, but now you put this Philly joint on notice. Feeding the whole, damn city! Plus, respect for supporting that meal to the lady, who didn’t have enough money because of “Cash only” orders.

Every time that I turn around you've got me driving from Baltimore to Philly for a meal.

Coming over to Philly from Jersey this week and the way my mouth is watering rn! I am excited for the visit!

I love following Philly area content creators. Glad I found you!

Holy cow!!!!❤ @12:49 From the beginning I had the $50 in my pocket... What a great place. I've been stating for years, 'if only we could teletransport', I'd be there tomorrow. This food looks to be fabulous on every account. What a find. May they prosper evermore, in great health. ✌️❤🍀🌻❤️

THAT SPOT I UNDERRATED THEIR PLATTERS ARE ON TOP

This had my mouth watering the whole time! What a great price for all of that food! Happy Holiday's to you & your family JL! 💖🎄

this is actually the first time I wanted to go to philly from watching one of your videos

$38 is the best deal ever. Here in Missouri ( it depends on where you go & what area) it’s going to cost you a good $55 & up for all 3. Plus you have to pay for the sauce

@JL JUPITER Thanks SO MUCH JL JUPITER, I Tried the 4-1 platter at Venango BBQ TODAY 3/25/2024...Chicken & Shrimp Kabob with Fried Rice, Onions & Peppers Sauces on the Side... VERY TASTY, DeLish & Only $11 platter

🤣🤣JL tired of the Chinese spots. I could feel your emotions when you said that bro (9.07) 😆😆🤣. Love the videos bro, keep em coming.

Love the new voice overs in the beginning

JL: that was unbelievable ! You're right just for short ribs alone in a Korean bbq restaurant they charge $30! I was guessing $45 for everything but at $38 it's a steal. Now, when I visit Philly I need to stop bye after picking up some cheesesteaks at Max's! Happy Holidays🎉

That short rib price made my mouth drop. Gotta hit this place up soon!

This has been a staple in the area for a hot minute. The way it looks on the outside puts people off especially since your in the hood. I walk pass there everyday and its a chill spot BUT NOW jl about to have the lines out the door again 😂

That food was amazing!! Those short ribs looked so good. It's 9 PM and I could go for that right now.

My guy, we all appreciate what you are doing. Sending you blessings and wish you growth and prosperity in 2024.

A good $68.00 bucks

The shrimp,chicken job,ribeye steak is the best one very tick,everything looked great .like said you cook from the heart and love what you’re doing,will go along way.

They been there for a long time, I left Philly in 2003.

This is fair priced food& stacked high! I only do buffets$14.99 for Chinese like food since the price is the same for a meal these days...but this looked good

You funny when you said with a serious face, “I love the hood” great video will try the chicken and shrimp

Every plate looked amazing

When we stop calling it a hood and go back, yes back to calling it neighborhood , business will pick 🆙 . Great content JL ☮️

Facts are facts North Philly is the hood period. That doesn't mean you need a bodyguard with you to get food. Be aware of your surroundings like you should no matter were you are and you'll be fine.

$38???? That's a steal

Looks delicious 🤤🤤

Venango Asian BBQ ⛩️

JL that food looks delicious and I cannot wait to go there Saturday and I think you paid about 60 $70 dollars for those three platters

I like this review! Well done JL!

My Favorite Asian Spot Ever 😋

Jl Jupiter u always find the most delicious 😋 restaurant, make me wanna come through this phone. Good job.

We love Venango BBQ!! I work around the corner and go there often.😂

In the hood for some good food. Facts. Thanks JL. 👍🏿

West Philadelphia Born n raised!!!! Me and my wife went there 2day....the food was the BOMB!!!! U blew it up because it was crowded and it ran out of Short Ribs...I got the 2 ribeye steaks over Rice and shrimp n my wife got the chicken over rice. Game changer!!!!! That's one of our new go2 spots!!!! But we will be there early next time!!!

I'll be back up in a few weeks and will have to go check it out for sure.

Wow great deal and looked delicious

Everything looks Delicious! 😋😋😋😋😋😋

Came up in "the hood" in NYC, down on the LES, what some folks would call the place not to go. That don't really mean much to me. And I've been to North Philly back in the day. All I know is that food looks damn good, and the prices are unbelievable. I'm not that close these days, but my son's working in Pa, and I might just make a little detour to get me some on the way there or the way back home. Thanks for this, and I hope this episode don't screw up their vibe.

Draymond Green swinging at my nose. 😂😂😂. You are the best. Honestly the best foodie.

Looking good 🎉

Philly networks please give this man his own show.

Bro 😭😭😭it’s already hard enough to compete with all the health care workers that come in for lunch and now I have to compete with the whole JL Jupiter community.

Shorty that came out the door in the beginning sheeesh.... food looked crazy tho fire

🔥

I can’t wait to go to the hood 😋

Him saying the Asian lady inside spoke perfect English was hilarious

Hi JL, I forgot to mention that I have also been to the Pub, and their steaks are fantastic. Like I said before, if you received my comment from before. YOU ARE GREAT! I love all kinds of food. Those 2 guys need to keep quiet because they are acting like children. Too LOUD and attracting attention. I will continue to watch you. We have a new barbecue that opened last week in Willingboro NJ. It's called either 1191 Barbecue, or 1911. I have to try it. BTW, I LOVE your Wife. She's sweet and pretty. The one guy that is really annoying is MIZZ.💕 Jann

Respect fam I really appreciate the love and support 💯💯🫡

U are great, thanks

Steak looks great. I'm surprised they dont slice it for you, tho.

Great Indian Spot in Voorhees NJ you should hit - NIMIT PALACE. An absolute gem of a place with fantastic food, fantastic staff, and fantastic prices (lunch special).

Agree on portion size and price and grilling vs fried is world of difference.Only thing good fried is chicken,do the rest over coals or flat top and that joint serves what appears to be STREET vendor food or food truck and thats a compliment as there rocking it in a building.

hello, JL...thanks for your vids. love it. i have one suggestion, if i may. think about getting a window tray to free up your hand.

It looks yummy 😋🍽

It's all about the hood 😊

I forgive you JL❤❤ imma have to give it a few months before I go because I know the lines bout to draw 😂😂😂

That place been there for years they just upgraded the place I use to go there as a child

This man crazy with that Draymond line 😂

All three look delicious 😋

The food looks bangin'.

Yeah. Another great video. Guess total $47. Food looks fresh and tasty. I'm good on the shrimp. Stay Blessed. ✌🏿

On time I have to go to my old hood tomo. 👍🏽

Yea,been going here a few years..those short ribs musta just been added to the menu they lookin husky,park up right across the street you good,bout as safe as anywhere else,right behind Temple hospital

😂 2:46, DAMN, JL caught the holy ghost, talking in tongues! 😂😂😂

I'm stopping by next time I'm in North Philly! Great meal for Uber drivers

Looks good 👍🏻

Everything looks amazing. You're always eating good. I stay in Alabama we have no food scene.😢

Dont know how i ended up on your channel but im glad i did. Anyone from the hood knows theres no food like hood food. Its because the food is cooked just like mom and pop would cook it if they were cooking if for their own family. No recipe book.. just a feel for how food is supposed to taste

I learned the hard way, NEVER cheap out when buying meat

Making a trip here most definitely

The food looks good and fresh Jl

Yes sir

Another good one as usual I must say $38 is a real good deal and the meal are huge. I guessed $52

That’s the SPOT! I love them. Their food is top tier!!!

$50 including tax? In S. Cali, a plate like that would cost at least $15, so 3 plates with tax would cost around $50.

Yo that food is the move 😋. The portion sizes are dope. Excellent review JL. 👏🏾

That's another 1 on the list... 👍🏽

I will be going there for sure

The short ribs and steak looked chewy. I would order the chicken and shrimp combo. Will check them out.

Man that all looks good

Looks good, somewhere around $40 then the tip

I drive from Virginia to Philadelphia for that Asian BBQ restaurant

Bro you got me ready to drive from Newport News VA. TO GET THIS!!

Wow what a great spread for the buck I live in Spfld,MA we have nothing like that ,the rib eye grilled was a game changer for me mmmm mmm good.

Damn all three dishes look good
