“South Sichuan is serving up some massive portions of delicious food!

The dan dan noodles are spicy spicy, not just a lingering heat but heat as you chew. Definitely not for the faint of heart. The sauce was so creamy, nutty and savory. They were addicting! Such a large portion as well.

The salt and pepper wings were crispy, even with delivery. Massive wings. The slaw in the box added a nice freshness.

I ordered this for Christmas dinner, and they were so kind and put a cookie in the box as well. That was so thoughtful! I will definitely be ordering from here in the future.“

“Delicious food. Great service. Clean and delicious !“

“By far BEST Chinese food we found.
It's rough finding a good location. This one has the food, pricing and cleanliness. The kitchen and crew are in direct sight of patrons. I like to know how clean these places are and this is a good start.
Combo platters for 4 people under 60.00. Yeah that's a bonus. !!
We will be hitting this place more.“

“all food Good 100 persen like“

“They have so many options for vegetarians/vegans! The veggie dumplings were nice and I’m looking forward to try more dishes like orange tofu while I’m at Temple. Great option for late night eats. The place is clean and relatively easy to find healthy options!“

“Went there with party of 4 on Sat evening. Good thing we had reservation. They were pretty full and people without reservations were turned away. We did have to wait before they sat us but it wasn’t too long. It’s a byod place so bring your own 🍷 🍻.
Parking was difficult - but that’s typical in downtown Chinatown. Recommend the calamari appetizer that was made just right. Lightly battered and flavored. Really enjoyed the sauté mushroom - flavored very well. I had the egg pancake with scallion on rice… which reminds me of my childhood. Others in our party had interesting options too. I tried the salmon over sticky rice - that was hands down the best dish on the table that night! Cooked perfectly - when the salmon flakes but not overcooked and rice was delicious! The chicken dish was also good.
We tried two of the dessert that turned out perfectly - not too sweet. Mango sago had something like grapefruit in there adding a twist to the dish. I would go back !“

“Absolutely the best Chinese food in the area. 5 Stars. Peter has the freshest, most delicious food in the area. My husband and I highly recommend a visit. You will NOT be disappointed.“

“We had a few different things off the menu and shared. Everything was amazing. All of the ingredients were fresh, the servers had great recommendations, and the service was prompt. We will definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor seating.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 :)“

“I absolutely enjoyed the hot pot here. They had a variety of meats, veggies, and seafood. Everything here is fresh, I can certainly say you get a lot for what you pay for here. The servers here are friendly and very welcoming. There is a lot of space inside the restaurant, it gives a traditional atmosphere.“

“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“

“This place is our go-to whenever we don’t want to think too hard about what to eat — we just know we’ll enjoy something delicious every time! The staff are always so friendly and attentive, making sure everything from the food to the service is spot on. My personal favorites are the sautéed string beans, salt & pepper pork chop, and the eggplant with garlic sauce — absolutely crave-worthy every time! 😋✨“

“Great good greasy service this is the best food ever“

“My son and I ate here today for the first time and loved it! Everyone is so friendly and food was excellent!!“

“Best bao buns in town I recommend it“

“best local Asian food in the area“

“If I had to limit dining to one restaurant in Philly, this would be it.“

“OMG BESTEST FOOD EVER FRESH YUMMY AND A VERY CLEAN PLACE HAPPY STAFFJYST THE BEST PLACE I BEEN TO EVER!!!!!“

“Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Great fresh vegetarian options with delicious tomato broth. Good vibes and music. Clean bathrooms.“

“So glad I found this restaurant amongst the many in Chinatown. I enjoy the roasted duck noodle soup from another restaurant but I decided to give this a try and I was happy I did!

I like how Lau Kee separates the broth from the noodles and vegetables! The flavor of the broth alone was delicious! When I put the two together…it was perfection. The duck is seasoned well and there is a nice portion of noodles.

I will definitely be adding Lau Kee to my fav list!“

“Being from nyc, and have had many a many different Asian foods … this.. this place has the most authentic taste ever… from noodles to your comfort favorites of garlic shrimp or general tso, you can really tell it’s not the same sticky or hard or typical fast food Chinese! Always come only here when visiting Philly!“

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu“

“Great food! Easy walk from convention center! Enjoy!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Great steamed dumplings! We have tried many of the dishes and find everything to be very delicious. The owners are so sweet and kind. Always pleasing and pleasant. So glad they are so close.“

“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“

“Okay so the thing is when I went to the actual location and dined in everything 11/10 from service to food. Like I’ve been thinking about it since I went and i decided to order delivery today and am so sad will only be dining in for future. Ordered at 1pm my driver was on his way at 1:08?? General tso chicken was tender, great portion, white meat but I think from the steam in the packaging the chicken got soggy and the sauce got loose, like really loose. Wonton noodle soup was packaged very well with noodle dumpling and veg separate from broth, and their dumplings are so good I think they are shrimp - but the broth was not seasoned like it was when I dined in, just bland. Lastly I’m sad to say I won’t even try the spring rolls because they look like they’ve been sitting out for a while but I’m sure they are tasty I just cant get over that they look super crunchy in a bad way. Photos are from when I dined in vs when I got takeout.“

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