Top 6: Philadelphia comfort food - Part 3
6abc's Jessica Boyington has you covered with two more comfort food restaurants in this week's Top 6.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- This spring fling can't last forever! Since we're about to return to sweater weather next week, 6abc's Jessica Boyington has you covered with two more comfort food restaurants in this week's Top 6.

Chika Ramen Bar

Off Sansom Street in Center City, there's a small set of stairs that lead to the basement dining room of the ramen bar, Chika. Chika means "basement" in Japanese, and the entire concept of the neon lit space is inspired by the ramen scene from the movie Blade Runner. They're open late, so you can grab some sushi rolls or custom noodle bowls until 2AM.

What I loved:

-Spicy Chicken Miso Ramen

-Bang Bang Shrimp

-Deep Fried Ice Cream

-The Electric Sheep Cocktail (Think a gin and tonic but filled with Boba Pearls!)

Sometimes, there is nothing better than some great comfort food! In this week's Top 6, Jessica Boyington digs into some classic, cozy dishes.

Hook and Ladder Sky Bar & Kitchen

Attached to what once was the Washington fire station in Conshohocken, is Hook and Ladder Sky Bar & Kitchen. There's firehouse references all throughout the menu and the decor! (Don't miss the authentic fireman pole!) Order one of their torched cocktails for a fragrant sip to pair with an expertly cooked steak of your choosing.

What I loved:

-Sweet Potato Old Fashioned (The garnish is a fire roasted marshmallow.)

-Steakhouse Soup

-Sea Bass (With cauliflower puree that's so creamy, I thought they were potatoes!)

-Warm Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream
