“This little Chinese restaurant was wonderful. The wonton soup was very good & a large portion ; the lunch special - shrimp , chicken & Chinese veggies was served with a delicious sauce. Our waitress Lu was great & really wanted to please us. I look forward to going back soon!! 👍👍😊🌟🌟🌟🌹“

“Listen Kay was not bad. He has a lot of potential. I really do think he try’s hard but lacks the skill of time management. I definitely do think he can throw a jab one two with his “heavy hands” on the soda machine(lil cherry). He hooked me up with that little cake good work. He did bark at me though. All in all he’s been hustling. Kay get yo money up not yo funny up lil bruh. Much love, Wroof-Wroof.“

“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“

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

“This place is great, and the staff is super friendly! They were only a few minutes late with my order when I arrived, but gave me extra food to compensate for this which was extremely generous. I will definitely order from this place again in the future!“

“We had my grandmother's 91st birthday celebration here in April. It was a party of 18, family style, and it was the best experience ever! The food was delicious, a great variety, beautiful plate presentation, and a warm atmosphere. The staff was attentive to our every need, the restaurant was clean and inviting and our entire group had an amazing experience! We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“CASH ONLY. They have an ATM on site though.

This place is great!

Typical Chinese takeout spot with a pretty standard menu. They have a great lunch deal during the week where you get an entree and either a soup or soda for like $10.

I’ve tried a bunch of things here and have never been disappointed. Portions are a good size and I usually have leftovers.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Not your typical strip mall Chinese restaurant. Food is largely authentic and done well. Most diners were natives, which is always a good harbinger. I'm writing this review to also compliment Monica, our server. Her recommendations were spot on and her service was outstanding. Management would be wise to hold on to staff like Monica. This was out second time there and we'll be back again soon.“

“The best Chinese around us. We drive all the way from north Doylestown because their food is so flavorful without being greasy. My entire family loves everything we order from here. The wonton soup is especially good as is the fried rice, hunan chicken, fried dumplings, and pork lo mein! The owners are so nice as is their son who is there whenever I pick up.“

“Food is fabulous!“

“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.“

“Just moved to Lansdale from Michigan and have been searching for a Chinese restaurant that met our high standards (We both lived in California where Chinese Food is AUTHENTIC). We decided to give Yantze a shot to see if they could succeed where others had failed so miserably, and we were ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY..Everything was fresh and made with DEDICATION as a main ingredient. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK.“

“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 😊“

“Can't even remember when I had curry chicken they seasoned it perfectly and that is my new lunch dinner and possibly breakfast because they made it great and it even helped inflammation in my body. My new go to .. the other food was the best as well! I'll add a pic later!“

“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!“

“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“

“Hands down the best Chinese food I have had in many many years. The quality is easily the best in the area. More importantly, the family is so welcoming and inviting that it makes you want to not only come back, comeback sooner. You will not be disappointed!“

“This was my go-to spot for delicious takeout food when I lived in Philadelphia. I'd drive out of my way to pick this up. The mango basil fried rice is amazing! I also liked the hunan shrimp. I moved away years ago but got some food again last week when visiting the area, it is still just as yummy as I remember it! The inside is bit rough around the edges but that's normal for takeout spots. Whenever I'm in the area the mango basil fried rice is a must get! Definitely a hidden a gem!!! 😋“

“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 🤝🔥“

“We don’t live in the area, but when we find ourselves nearby, we always stop in.
The staff is very friendly and food is delicious!
I have heard locals say this Chinese restaurant is a positive addition to the neighborhood and a gem.“

“The lunch specials are a great deal. The Mapo Tofu was great (and well portioned) and the wontons in the wonton soup were well made (the broth of the wonton soup was pretty middling but at the end of the day you're getting the soup for the wontons not the broth).“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Chinese food we have had in a long time! The staff were friendly. We all ordered different items and everything was delicious. The meat is hand breaded and fried. Towards the back you can see the staff hand making and stuffing dough. Would recommend to anyone in the area!“

“Not that good“

“We picked up and everything was just as we ordered it!!“

“Food is hot and portions are good.“

“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.“

“The food is amazing! Flavors are rich and spicy. The service was excellent! The restaurant is clean and welcoming. My only complaint (the reason for 4 stars) is a very big screen tv showing the news the entire two hours we were there. Not good for the digestion. .“

“best Chinese restaurant [Original] best Chinese restaurant“

“They cook all the food in front of you. always delicious.“

“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 “

“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 sushi! Kid friendly! Both Chinese and Japanese menu. They will make changes to your liking; less spicy, more or less of things. They have delivery 7 days a week!“

“The food is good one of the better black bean noodles I’ve had. My only complaint is not giving me what I ordered which was seafood black bean noodles($20.99) because when I came home there was no seafood in sight so I basically got the regular black bean noodles($12.99).“

“Angie Baker is full of it dude, idk never once had an issue in 8+ years, never once caught a stray order, the worst that ever happened to us with our meticulous instructions is that they gave us the wrong soda, and when I let them know they told us to keep it, brought us the correct one. Never disappointed by quality, speed, or price. Genuinely love her establishment!“

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

“I've been eating here since I was a kid and it's definitely just the best Chinese takeout I've had in the city. The general tsos are super good and have a nice flavor and consistency and the wings are also great. I prefer their fried rice as a side to their lo mein but can't go wrong with either. While there's other dishes I love these are the must haves, I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and hungry for some Chinese takeout. Remember though, it's cash only.“

“Sometimes I need Chinese food late night, or maybe I will go here to use their ATM: but nevertheless, it is a convenience that I have used over and over again, and it's good.

Vegetarian options: Many of their appetizers, and entrees posted, give you the option to order them without any meat“

“Food is always hot and fresh.“

“Accidentally went to the wrong China House in Roxborough…This one is on Greene St guys!! The person I called understood and was very sweet about it and helped me get to the right place. Food is amazing and large portions, so it’s worth the price. I haven’t had good Chinese food in awhile, so this was definitely refreshing!“
