50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Somerdale

“First time ordering from here, ordered through Grubhub and had it delivered. Had the General Tsp chicken with white rice and the beef lo mein. The General Tso’s was the best I’ve had in this area! Yes it was dark meat chicken as it should be. It was fresh and crispy under a perfect sauce with just the right amount of heat. The white rice was fresh and all the food was hot. The beef lo mein was good with tons of meat and veg but I’d definitely ask for more flavor. Like a little more garlic or soy sauce, whatever you put in it to flavor it, it just needs a little bit more. The price seems a little higher than other places in the area, but I’ll still be ordering again.“

“Food here is usually good. I really like their Sweet and Sour Chicken. On my last order, I picked the order up. It was my first time picking up from there. When I got there, a woman was ordering at the window and had questions about multiple items on the menu. The lady working the counter saw this person was not close to ordering, asked me if I was picking up and gave me my order. Really appreciated the service and good food. Will go back“

“This has become our new favorite Chinese restaurant! Prices may be a little higher than other restaurants around but the quality and the quantity of food are outstanding. Deff worth it! This is our second time ordering and we wanted to try something different. The Fiancé order beef Lo-mein, I order a MaLa Dry pot with chicken, baby corn, carrots, broccoli, cashews, pineapple, lo-mein and fried rice and sesame seeds. This was my first time ordering this plate, and let me tell you it was huge!! For $15 this plate can easily feed 4 people. I took some for me and my 6 year old and there’s still enough for 3 people. The picture was after dinner and does not include the rice that came with it. The chicken was tender, the broccoli was crispy and the pineapple was sweet. If you have never had fried pineapple and cashews rice you should definitely try it from China Cook. We also order cheese wontons and they were sweet and crunchy. Delicious! The spring rolls are freshly fried and have great flavor. The chicken and cheese roll was really good. We spent around $38 but the food is worth it. They have plenty of other items, like sushi and bento boxes. Order online and pick up in store is as easy as it sounds! Try them, you won’t regret it!“

“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!“

“First time trying this place I took picture with my digital camera that’s why it might look different but I would say the food taste is amazing but I was mostly was into spicy kimchi spaghetti then went to order other appetizer because I was very hungry the sweet potato Fries when I bite into them it was like wow the taste amazing the popcorn chicken taste good too.

“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.“

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 :)“

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

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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! 😋✨“

“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“

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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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 !“
