“Great food! delicious soft shell crab, vegetable dishes, soup dumplings, & more!“

“Atmosphere is super good. Restaurant opened only about a year so not well known yet but dishes are authentic and delicious. Restaurant is very clean and neat. Very large menu with all kinds of dishes with quite good vegetarian selections as well! The restaurant is right on the race street in Chinatown I have been passing by many times but never paid attention to probably because their sign is not very obvious to people on the sidewalk. Great place to eat in. They have dim sum in the morning.“

“Every time I order I get exactly what I what. I even some times put special notes in for the restaurant and they always follow the order. Food is always hot and good. Great prices as well. I have no complaints..My favorite and only place I order chinese from.“

“Toothpick Lamb – 🏆 favorite! Was a dry rub spice on small pieces of lamb on toothpicks. Learned the toothpick is so the lamb doesn’t stick together when cooking

Salt & Pepper Fried Frog 🐸 this was good. Would have liked a little bigger pieces

Sautéed Eggplant with Green Beans 🍆 well flavored. I liked that the eggplants were not falling apart. The skin was soft but not mushy

Mapo Tofu with minced meat 🍛 we felt this was average. Not bad but would get something else instead next time to try“

“Talk about good food! Every single thing I tried from the tofu with broccoli to the scallops and the shrimp tempura sushi, it's all good! No matter what you get, the food is fresh, tasty and the staff is so friendly. This is my go to place. Thanks guys for providing amazing food and customer service. Keep up the good work. You guys are the best! Til next time :)“

The food was genuinely amazing — every bite tasted different in the best way possible. Great spot for sharing plates, good laughs, and an overall awesome dining experience. Highly recommend Shing Kee!“

“Awesome dumplings. Food seemed very authentic. Great service, quick too.“

“For those who grew up in Cantonese households all know what “熱氣 (yit hei)” is all about lol.

What first caught my eye was the name: “Heung Fa Chun” (杏花邨) is actually the name of a real housing estate in Hong Kong, which instantly gave me a sense of authenticity.

They serve all kinds of nostalgic HK style snacks, from steamed buns and zongzi to traditional pastries and desserts. A true hole-in-the-wall gem in Philly Chinatown.

I was feeling a bit “yit hei” (literally “hot air” in Cantonese), so I grabbed myself a 龜苓膏 (herbal jelly/gui ling gao, aka “turtle jelly”). It's one of the go-to remedies for combatting yit hei. If you’re feeling yit hei, like breaking out, getting sore throats, or even indigestion, you need to eat some gwai ling go.

I was quite surprised to find it here. My mom would be so proud I got it without her having to tell me.

Warning: it’s VERY bitter if you eat it on its own. Definitely add the syrup to turn it into a healthy sweet trea.“

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu“

“I have a shop in blackwood and come here for lunch. I must tell you the food is far above others. They only have take out , staff is nice, and the food is really homemade, I highly recommend“

“Jiang nan is always my go-to option when I don't know where to eat. And whenever I'm here, I always order peking duck. It's probably not the best pecking duck out there but is pretty solid. I discover that this salted egg shrimp is soo good! Each shrimp is big and has a crunchy shell covered in delicious salted egg sauce. The veggie is also good with the bean curd seasoning. I would not order dan dan noodle again because it is pretty bland.“

“Got to the restaurant and we were seated immediately, given menus, and they seemed to sense as soon as we were ready to order, no waiting involved. The food was amazing! The broth of the beef noodle soup was so rich and hot, the cold sesame noodles were the right level of spicy and very chewy, and the Chinese hamburgers were fresh, warm, and crispy on the outside/soft on the inside (try adding chili oil!) Everything came out very quickly and fed our whole table for such great prices.“

“We wanted to try something new in old City. Love the area. There was great smell coming from the place and it drew us in. The food was good and our server was good.“

“Food is amazing and service is outstanding! Cherri and the rest of the staff are always so warm and friendly!“

“Believe the reviews this is a hidden gem I’m happy I found it I doubted at first based off the way it look meaning the space but this is authentic Chinese food clean, fresh and the sauce is different then any other Chinese store I went to in south Philly it’s so good this my new favorite spot“

“This place is a must try if you are in the area. It was delicious.“

“Our favorite Chinese restaurant, in Philadelphia, is Ho Sai Gai. Clean, fast service, and wonderful service. Delicious food.“

“WE LOVE MANDARIN COURT!! Highly recommend if you are looking for a good Sushi + Chinese food in South Jersey that you order out or dine in at Mandarin. The food is so good we order takeout at least once a week! The entire staff + owners are INCREDIBLE and so kind + efficient. We've been going here for years (generally takeout that we call in) and every experience is a great one! CHEERS =)“

“Great service and food!“

“I think this is an excellent deal when it comes to price. $40 for everything! For the ones in the menu plus for all the drinks! If you are a foodie and can stuff alot, I mean alot lot!, this is the place to go to!

The food taste is amazing in general! I just doubt the freshness of all foods served. But overall, they still are palatable!

The place is not well-lit. I know that there's a reason for this and I also believe that they should put more lights to see, monitor, and maintain the sanitation of the place.

We had a good experience. Will visit again next time to see if there's improvement 😊“

“Great food with great service and the atmosphere was a Vibe....will be back soon.“

“I’ve been looking for a local chinese restaurant ever since the one we went to burnt down. After driving a lot further than I prefer I found this hidden gem. My orders are generally simple general tso, sweet and sour chicken, and shrimp and broccoli. But you’d be surprised how different or how bad they can be from place to place.
The portions here were great and the food delicious! Even had chop sticks and free kiwi candies!

Staff was friendly and the food was cooked and ready for pick up in under 20 mins. Plenty of parking in the back.

Take out night for the family had finally found its Chinese restaurant!“
