“The food was great, and the staff was also great The only negative thing I can say is that we were told they had no reservation in my name because they don't work with open table . Luckily, it was a slow day and we were still able to get a table.“

“Our favorite restaurant! The best food around! This is the must-go for our family, we recommend all family and friends! Worth every penny!“

“Ashley was a 10/10. She was nice, attentive, she honestly went above and beyond and it felt natural. Those brussel sprouts do it every time. So good. The drinks were just OK /not her fault. Tons of ice in the marg and not really any flavor. She fixed this tho. The atmosphere is low because there was flies every here and there. Other than that we had a great time. Will keep coming back!“

“Make no mistake. Don’t expect awesome Chinese food. This place serves its purpose incredibly well which is food that tastes good enough for incredible value in price and portion sizes. If you like Panda Express, you will like this place. For $47 we got enough food for 4 meals (5-6 if you are a light eater or with kids). The value is crazy good and perfectly met expectations.“

“Cindy is very nice to her customers! She loves to greet everyone when they come in to support her business. Yes I recommend this business“

“Solid spot for Chinese takeout! The menu has a wide variety of food. I would definitely come back when I'm craving Chinese food.“

“I was looking for roast crispy duck. I didn't want to go to Chinatown because its gotten rundown, yucky traffic, expensive parking and horrible SEPTA. I decided to stay in my neighborhood so I could walk. I worried about it being expensive. Chestnut Hill is high end and the restaurant looked pricey. What a WONDERFUL SURPRISE! I was a solo table but still treated like a queen with lots of servers checking in, giving water and smiling. The roast duck in black bean sauce on the cast iron plate was SCRUMPTIOUS. It comes with a healthy side of white rice and delicate, flavorful bok choi. The skin was crispy yet NOT oily or greasy. The CHUNKS of tender duck meat were excellent. The sauce was thick, savory and yummy. FOODGASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The portion was so healthy that I was able to take a container home for lunch the next day. Then I ordered the Mudslide ice cream pie for dessert. PERFECTION. Dense, creamy, sweet but not cloying with nut accents, fresh strawberries and cream as garnish. Cool treat on a humid Summer night. When the bill came, I was shocked that it was less than $40. I did not order a cocktail because I wanted to concentrate on the food. I gave them a big tip and said I am absolutely returning. I am also addicted to their spring rolls too. Two perfect crunchy flaky rolls filled with a balanced combination of shrimp, cheese, and cabbage that you can dip in duck sauce or mustard or just enjoy plain.“

“Pleasantly surprised upon finally finding a very solid Chinese restaurant. We’ve been in the area over 2 years and have lamented the lack of great Chinese food until my delivery order just came. I had orange chicken and steamed pork dumplings. Both were great. I don’t usually order orange chicken but glad I did tonight. I’ll be back for sure“

“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!“

“The Mongolian Beef was absolutely fantastic! Tender slices of beef cooked perfectly with just the right amount of spice. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely coming back for more!“

“I highly recommend Yantze Gourmet for authentic and delicious food. Jack and John are great hosts and make everyone feel welcome.“

“Best Chinese dinner I've had in a long time! We will definitely be back!“

“It’s by far the best Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. Not only is the food delicious, the owner, Cary and his staff are the nicest people. I highly recommend them! Also, they deliver. #wontonsoup #exceptional“

“Today May 31st is our first time ordering and I must say food is amazing and staff is very friendly. We will definitely order again 😊“

“Updating my review from a few years ago to 5 stars (again) because Ichiban is great! It’s our go-to Chinese and sushi spot that’s more reliable and affordable than others! The sashimi appetizer is always delicious, the hot and sour soup is tasty and complex and balanced (hard to find that!), and the Chinese dishes are flavorful and not too greasy with fabulous sauce. My husband and I are grateful for the quick service and smooth online portal for pickup or delivery orders. Tonight’s meal was exactly what we needed with fabulous flavors and lots of extra garlic sauce. Recommend!!“

“Food is fabulous!“

“Food is hot and portions are good.“

“The establishment was very clean the staff members owners and everyone working was very nice very helpful very welcoming when I came and didn’t know exactly what I wanted they were patience and helped me decide on the best dish Philly can offer which ofc was the chicken and broccoli most def going back 10/10 recommend 🤝🔥“

“Got a general tso combo platter. Super fast, the staff is very friendly, and the portion size is easily double anywhere else in east mount airy for a dollar or two less. Downside is the chicken was not crispy, and it was barely in the box for 5 minutes so i know it didnt get soggy that way. Also the fried rice and egg roll were only so so. Because of the huge portion im having some of the chicken for lunch the next day, 100 percent better cold so it isn't soggy.“

“The service was very good at Wing Lee. The food was ok. All food items came out very hot. They do not have egg rolls. The spring rolls were ok, not what I usually prefer. Portion sizes for the entrees was medium compared to other restaurants and rice was small, im sure they'd bring more rice if needed. In the photos is sesame chicken, the coconut shrimp special, and boneless spare ribs, all tasted good. The place is worth a try, you might like it“

“I’ve been coming to this place for years, my last recent visit motivated me to make a review. This place is quick with orders, and the person who takes the orders, is always friendly. This is a go to spot in the neighborhood, especially for very good Chinese !“

“The general tso's sauce IS the best! I get the general tso's tofu (don't knock it till ya try it) and it's great every single time. Their tofu(or whatever)+ broccoli (brown sauce) is really good as well. I don't usually get the fried rice but I recall it being decent. Not a sit in restaurant and it isn't the most welcoming store front as another person as mentioned, but the food is fast and delicious and I have never had a single issue.

Vegetarian options: General tso's tofu“

“My Mom and I went for lunch, and we were impressed at the lunch specials. They included a soup, drink, and lunch portion of your favorite combos. I believe we added an on an egg roll. Perfect amount of food and very tasty. I enjoyed the beef with broccoli special with fried rice. The shop is now available for dine-in again, but they do a ton of takeout, and the pricing was very reasonable.

I would recommend checking them out! I will be coming back because I want to try their sushi menu. There were sushi lunch specials as well.“

“First time here !!!!! Love the foods ... so good😋😋😋😋must come here.....“

“SIMPLY THE BEST CHINESSE RESTAURANT IN THE AREA. We go all the way from Hatboro to this place because is good. They put lots of different vegetables. It is the best in this area. It is not gourmet but the average Chinese restaurant is the best. The people is super nice. The guy cooking is real Chinese and you can tell that he cares. You go to other places, and they just put a bunch of broccoli with a little bit of sauce and they call it Vegie Mix, here, you get a variety of vegetables. The food WAS NOT salty at all, natural.“

“Today was my first time ordering from this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. It was so fresh. I had sweet and sour pork and the hot and sour soup. It was the best soup ever! It's the only Chinese restaurant I will order from in the future. Also, the person who took my order was so friendly as was the delivery person. And the food was nice and hot when it was delivered! Thank you!“

“The people who run this are really nice. First time ordering here since 2020, we had a small issue and let them know, and they apologized and went out of their way to make it up to us. Overall extremely satisfied and appreciative of the wonderful service! The food is great and the pricing is better than other nearby places. Can't ask for a better place for Chinese food.“

“Amazing food . The Price is even better.

Parking: If you are not familiar with driving in a city, parking may be difficult for you. Just keep calm, and follow what the other drivers are doing. But please...Do not leave your car doors unlocked.“

“Amazing! We loved all of the food but the service was fantastic! All of the staff was friendly and helpful. Our family will definitely be back. It was a great experience.“

“You can order online from a website that kindly reminds you what it was like on the internet in the 00's, before every millimeter of your screen was optimized and monetized. Things are misspelled (Chicken w/ borcolli; Singapore Rice Noodel) in a way that doesn't interfere with intelligibility, and provides yet another reminder of charm from a past you might not have experienced but can still, if only faintly, remember. Similarly, the interior harkens to a China that likely doesn't exist and never existed, but is convenient for the American perception. A large palm stands tall yet sheds two or three yellow leaves, suggesting that most attention is paid by staff behind the counter, not in front of it. A calendar shows an impossibly skinny Chinese woman looking at you genially. The wallpaper combines shades of jade and a muted yellow which, alongside the mahogany-colored chairs and tables, creates an inviting environment to wait for your food, seemingly on accident (though one can never be too sure).
It's a casual experience from start to finish. It weighs only very lightly on you, and the action causing the most resistance is when you try make a final decision on what you'll be ordering. The prices are cheap--one order of food, for just one person, could feed you for three whole meals. Therefore, this decision has a three day consequence--and don't be fooled by the casual nature of everything, there are definitely wrong choices. Any non-breaded chicken you order will be soggy and formless, and most beef will be similar. However, the spare rib and the breaded chicken (specifically General Tso's) are full of flavor and savory texture, as is the pork-fried rice, as are the eggrolls. The canned sodas from the fridge even taste better than store bought.
The family who owns the place are incredibly kind, even in the face of hardship. I ordered on Christmas Eve when they were absolutely swamped, since no other restaurants in the area were open. In total I waited 2 hours for my food, as did other patrons whom I waited with. We were all given an entire bag of Chinese tea candies as a token of the staff's appreciation, as were handed the bag with a disproportionate amount of glee and genuine cheer. I also live near some of the people who own/work the place, and they are some of the only people in the neighborhood willing to be vulnerable enough to smile and wave as neighbors cross their path. They are caring and patient towards their young children as well, and they work their tails off.
American-Chinese takeout, like most things for sale in today's markets, is both great and terrible for you. The levels of sodium, if consumed everyday, would cause severe inflammation in your body. However, your pockets will be happy that you chose to settle down with a 9 dollar 3000 calorie deal instead of doordashing Popeyes and paying $30 for it. And, most importantly, something in your soul will feel called to, catered to, held, and loved. Food is love, and that is one of the few human universals. New China JAMISON is a method for tapping into this love on an as-needed basis, and offers even more in terms of nostalgia and warmth for those with the minds open to perceive it. I give them 4/5 stars.“

“Not that good“

“Excellent dinner. Entrees are family style, so for a table of 4, we had one spring roll each, an order of dumplings, dry pot beef, garlic chicken, salt n’ pepper shrimp and Bok Choy with mushrooms. Delicious! Not your ordinary American Chinese food.“

“Wings are fried to perfection in a clean workspace (atleast it's cleaner than most establishment) Been watching imperial turn to Kensington and Allegheny. Haven't had a bad experience yet at the kitchen. Just my humble opinion which isn't worth much. Do your homework “

“Everything is fresh and delicious! Atmosphere is very friendly, they treat you like family!“

“Been craving Chinese for over a week now. So good totally hit spot. Chicken broccoli house fried rice was perfect. Crab ragoon was good. The only complaint I had was that the general tsos chicken was too hard I couldn't really chew it. I was upset cuz it did taste good and I couldn't eat it. Would definitely order from here again tho“

“We enjoyed numerous take-out menu items for a group of 6 for a family dinner. The portions were very generous and delicious.“

“The food here is amazing. Their service here is very quick, and everyone is friendly. There is no seating, tho, for dine-in in so there would only be a take-out place. Would definitely recommend for people looking for Chinese food around this area.“

“I've been on the hunt for Crispy Beef in the area for years now, and little did I know that this hole in the wall Chinese take out place in a reasonably empty strip mall serves it. And it was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be back here.“

“Great place for vegetarians. Been going here for years. They have a dedicated vegetarian menu that has an incredible selection. I am a big fan of the vegetarian general tso’s chicken. I also love there veggie egg rolls, steamed vegetable dumplings, scallion pancakes and pineapple fried rice.“

“Clean fresh food, plus a clean cook/chef. I asked for my broccoli to be steamed 10-15 minutes soft and they cook my broccoli soft/ perfect, not hard or crunchy and fix my food perfect cooked, they have Good / the best Wings. Food cooked the way I wanted and perfect. No bad attitude. My first impression clean people, good food and It look like they clean their waiting / order room. My New place to go to besides a block up Frankford Ave, young people snooby funny acting like are black kids rubbed off on her at the Chinese store a block away and cook food to their liking/ way they want, I will definitely order here again, thou. Love this place“

“I've been ordering here since 2007, when I used to live in Silly Philly years ago. This was and still is the best spot to grub. When I am in town I don't hesitate to get my sesame and general tso on, taking some back home as well. Where I live now my spot is called" Asian Yummy ", the only equivalent to " Hot Wok ", but Hot wok will always be first. They need to expand!! I would invest into a chain of Hot woks!!!!“

“My family and I order from here periodically. The people there are always friendly and courteous. The food is always ready on time and is tasty each time. If I had to conjure a complaint, it would be that I have a hard time getting my food as spicy as I like it to be. But to be fair, I have the same problem wherever I order chinese food.“

“food very fresh, I enjoyed what i purchased, fast service. I would go back“

“great customer service, food is always hot and made well never had a problem been going there for many many years :)“

“I Love this place been going here for over 30years. A hood staple. If ya want some great food especially the Chicken broccoli or Shrimp and broccoli it is the truth. The other dishes on the menu are good as well. Open late for the club crowd which is always good for the weekends“

“Tonight was the first time ever ordering from here and I always get the general tso chicken because it's the trickiest to make right and will definitely order there again so good. Very fast delivery and they called me when they arrived.“
