50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Merchantville

“Excellent food. It had flavor and was not a small amount. White meat was used in General Tso’s Combo’s; the appetizers were very fresh and delicious; the rice dishes were so authentic tasting. Usually my family and I order a rice dish as well as a vegetable option (the vegetable) and pork fried rice Quarts were 5/5 taste, quality and price (not expensive as other local Chinese food restaurants). Service was nice and they are working hard at the restaurant. Great job Grand China! 5/5; my family and I will be ordering again !

Vegetarian options: I didn’t just order vegetarian; but the one dish we did order was fitting my vegetarian heavy diet. The menu had plenty of options for vegetarian menu; healthy menu; and vegan options like rice dishes and veg Chinese dishes.

Dietary restrictions: They offer vegetarian and veg only options

Parking: Located on the restaurant side of the street and across the street.

Kid-friendliness: Friendly staff“

“Always a must stop when staying in Philly! I crave their cold sesame noodles!!! The fried dumplings are excellent as well!!!“

“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.“

“Uniquely seasoned food served promptly and pleasantly. Outdoor seating is available in a private booth design that's very 'public' since it's on the sidewalk. The interior design is remincent of authentic Chinese culture with wooden dragons carved in the wall. You can sit at the bar or sit in the main dining area. The culinary delights are streamed, gluten free or lightly fried. The chilli sauce/oil is a nice surprise it's fragrant with a hint of perfume of anise, cardamom and clove, amongst other herbs,all smothered in oils and Sichuan pepper. I highly recommend this spot.“

“all food Good 100 persen like“

“Great local spot for fresh yummy food“

“Excellent food, especially if you go early for dim sum, and the staff is polite and efficient. I usually get an order of string beans or whatever green veg I see first, then we pick from the rotating carts. I'ma say yes to everything that has shrimp. Lol. You can request custom orders during sim sum hours, too, FYI.

I've been there at night for traditional ordering, and that was really good, as well, but I like a little bit of everything, so I love dim sum.

Impressive space, too -- The chandeliers always catch my eye. I've seen several large events there, and there's a private dining room as well.“

“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.“

“Had Friday dinner out with friends!
Pricey but overall a good experience!
The restaurant is on the 3rd floor. There is an elevator going straight to the restaurant.
Spacious and family friendly.
Wheelchair accessible.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“China Wok is a take out style business. It is not a restaurant with sit-down dining. We've been using this business for many years. The food is excellent and the service is very good. Prices are very good. The family members who work here are very friendly. They are very punctual with their service. It usually takes 15 minutes to complete your order. Enjoy your dinne, everyone.“

Highly recommend Shing Kee!“

“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.“

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

“My father, grandmother and I visited this location today and had a good experience. We ordered a bowl of hot and sour soup which was shared between all three of us with some left over. Of course we had the lettuce wraps which were delicious as to be expected. I liked the way the meals were served... if you wanted to share your meal with others they provide extra plates. My firecracker shrimp was delicious. Not too spicy but not bland at all. My father had changes spicy chicken and my grandmother had the Teriyaki beef. Everything was delicious. Our server Sam was great and packed up all of our left overs. The best part of the meal was the limited time dessert called the Pink Slip cheesecake! It was to die for. I would recommend that dessert to everyone!

Only negative was that both my grandmother and my father thought the music was too loud but when we mentioned it to the server she tried to address the issue for us.“

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu“

“Great service and food!“

“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.“

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

“Chang San another hole-in-the-wall authentic, true Southern Chinese/Szechuan restaurant of a hidden gem. The aroma, flavours, taste are so immensely delectable and deep. Stir-fry and seasoned/sauteed dishes/sizzling dishes are impeccably tantalizing. Reasonable prices and portions, as well. Parking is yet another challenge in the Philadelphia area, so side-street parking may be available (metered, maybe)“

“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.“

“The food is excellent there and their hours of operation fit into my schedule..“

“Best Chinese food in the whole area. Highly recommend the bourbon chicken, vegetable lomaine, egg rolls, wonton soup, crab ragoons, and sesame chicken. Never tried the other food, but all of those are the best around. Always comes hot and cooked perfectly. Never had any issues here. ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“The best Chinese food I have eaten. Their fried rice was sooo Good. Every Chinese restaurant i ate at I always find the fried rice to lack flavor or the rice was just either hard or mushy but this place imo was just right. The lo mein was excellent as well. Wish this place was in North Carolina where I live. Ate here 3 times in the week I stayed out here in Philly.“
