50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Riverton

“I don’t understand the complaints. I always got really great food here. The general tso’s tofu was always great. The wonton soup was as well. In this area specifically, this is one of the best around. I don’t know if the same person is working the cash register, but a little boy always rung me up and he was perfectly kind. While also doing his homework on the job. The whole family was always very sweet to me.

Vegetarian options: Always many options.“

“Went to china gourmet for lunch midweek. Not crowded at all although the large free parking lot was pretty full due to the nearby Asian supermarket. We were seated immediately and the dim sum carts came by very soon after. There seemed to be 3 carts with dim sum and one with soups. Plenty of choices although the language barrier made it something of an adventure. For instance I ordered some buns which I thought the server had said were poppyseed, which I confirmed with her. They turned out to be some sort of onion mixture. They were delicious nonetheless. We also tried the signature salt and pepper squid dish. It was different for other fried calamari we have had and was very good. We tried several varieties of dumplings and they were unremarkable. Service was efficient. The place is very large but lacks atmosphere. Other than the fish tanks and tvs on the wall there wasn’t much decor. For to try the different options from the carts but we could have benefitted greatly from having someone with us that could tell us what the choices really were.“

“Amazing! Do not miss out on this place! It’s our favourite Indian spot to eat. This is authentic and delicious food. The staff is so kind and friendly, making suggestions to suit our taste. They even shared some specialty spicy dishes for us to try which made us feel very special and so tasty! We will be regular customers to this place.“

“I love the lemon grass soup w/the scallops & shrimp & rice noodles. It’s actually the only thing I have been getting there for the past 2 years. Yesterday the scallops were HUGE & whole...they’re usually broken, small ones!“

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

“use to be a cash only but as of 8/23/24 they asked if i wanted to pay by card!! which is major because as said before it’s been a cash only place for YEARS. foods always good never had any issues.. Kim is a sweetheart. great ppl, great food just a great place all around. 10/10“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“The quality of food and preparation of meals is outstanding - best General Tso chicken I've had in 50 years!!!!!“

“Enjoying my lunch The atmosphere is beautiful the food delicious the host was amazing and the place was nice and clean a place where you go and enjoy your company the food and don’t forget the cold beverages the strawberry lemonade is unbelievable“

“We had catering for Thanksgiving 2025 and every dish was fantastic: Here was had: ducks off the bone, beef and scallion pancake roll, crispy cucumber in sauce, scallion pancake, wonton in chili oil, honey walnut shrimp, String beans, braised tofu in brown sauce, eggplant garlic sauce“

“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.“

“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.“

“Just had the best food delivered fresh and hot!! Delivery said 45-60 minutes but was here extremely quickly in less than half hour! Will definitely recommend and will order from here again! Thanks Place One for a job well done!! *****“

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

“We called for delivery and waited an hour and the driver still hadn’t showed. We called them and they said they were very busy and we would have to come pick it up. At first I was angry but then I got there and saw how busy they were. The lady was very nice and gave me 2 dollars back and a free 2 liter of Pepsi and was very apologetic. Food is great but sometimes you just need to be patient when they’re slammed. It’s a small restaurant.“

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

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

“Had a boys’ night out here and it was fantastic! Every dish that came out was a new surprise — full of flavor, fresh, and perfectly cooked. 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu“

“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.“

“Run by a great family/caring, loving people“

“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.“

“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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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.“

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

“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 😊“

“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!“

“Started with marinated semi spicy sliced cucumber and it was AMAZING omg I could have made my meal on that. Had the large bowl of thin rice noodle soup with shrimp wonton and Bok choy 🥬 excellent and nice clear clean broth. Love the food and service“

“The food??? AMAZING!! The chicken wings got so much flavor and the rice is perfectly seasoned not too much not too little. Now my favorite thing??? That shrimp tempura poke bowl is AMAZINGGG. I literally will gladly take that 16 minute drive any day. Edit: ordered again today, got the same bowl but with brown rice due to diabetes, was SUPER GOOD. Will never complain !“

“Asian Fresh Kitchen is my new go to for delicious food! Just made my first order yesterday & everything was delicious!“

“Everything was fresh and delicious! Coming back soon!“

“Good place if you are craving skewers. They have a lot of options. I'd reorder all the skewers I tried except for rice cake and fish tofu. The honey rice cake in appetizer is way too sweet, I'd not recommend. I have mixed feelings about the rice noodle and quail egg under foil grill. It's numbing spicy but the seasoning is okay. The noodles is chewy and quail egg is all right. It has bean sprouts and naba cabbage. I probably won't re-order cuz I would prefer more space for skewers. The restaurant is pretty small.“
