50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Bala Cynwyd

“My family and I 5 generations have enjoyed your food over the years. From my granny (who has now past) my mother, myself, my children, and now their children. The food is always fresh, tasty and having moved down south trips back up North include a 30 - 40 min drive from New Jersey. Love the family, when we come for food we often talk about our children as we are in the same age group and update on the new things. Visiting soon will be making a trip over.“

“My family had a wonderful time here for my son's 11th birthday! He wanted to try out the hibachi experience, so we reserved a hibachi table. There was another family at the table across from us enjoying a meal as well. The food was incredible (though not one of us managed to catch a piece of it in our mouths), my husband said it was the best meal he's had all year. The hibachi room is decorated with murals of video game & cartoon characters like Mario & SpongeBob, which was great because my son is a gamer. We brought a birthday cake in with us, and the other family joined in to sing "Happy Birthday" & shared his cake with us. The service was great. It was an all around wonderful time, & we will definitely be returning!“

“The food was delicious and the service was great. Already looking forward to returning and trying other items on the menu.“

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

“The first meal we had as we were visiting the city. The xiao long baos hit the spot. The forbidden ribs are good to the bones. The place is neat and cutely decorated. Staff is personable. We totally had a great experience here. So worth it after a whole day of travel.“

“All the rave reviews are true! I visited with a friend from out of town and we had a feast of our favorites. Nearly everything on the menu is vegan, and it was hard to choose! The lunch special is a fantastic value and includes soup and a spring roll. We chose the miso soup, which we agreed is the most flavorful we've ever had. The staff are friendly and really helpful, and the food came out really fast - truly cooked to order. And, as if that weren't enough, the prices are incredibly reasonable. 10/10. I can't wait to go back!“

“Fresh ingredients and reasonable prices — everything came out crisp and clearly high quality, and the broth had real depth. Service was attentive without hovering, and the lobster feast was a highlight. Easy five stars, we'll be back.“

“We had a few different things off the menu and shared. Everything was amazing. All of the ingredients were fresh, the servers had great recommendations, and the service was prompt. We will definitely be back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoor seating.“

“food is fresh and it's same as it was in the Bronx“

“When I saw how affordable this spot was, I wasn’t expecting to be wow’d by the food but oh my goodness it was good! I got the chicken chow mein, pork dumplings in chili oil and the crunchy spicy cucumber. The heat levels were perfect (I got medium for the chow mein and dumplings, and the recommended level for the salad). I could still taste all the flavors but my mouth was coated perfectly in sichuan. The balance of sweetness and aromatics in everything - especially the pork dumplings - was delicious.

The staff was friendly, the wait time was short, the food was fresh.

I will absolutely be coming back and you should too :)“

“Great food with great service and the atmosphere was a Vibe....will be back soon.“

“I’ve never had such a cool and friendly experience at a restaurant. Everyone was so nice and the food was great! One of the staff members even played a song on the Jing Guan for our son! One of the best experiences I’ve ever had!“

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

“I had an absolutely delightful experience at TingTing’s! The food was exceptional, with every dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service was prompt and friendly, making the entire meal enjoyable. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a nice balance of comfort and style. While the price per person was a bit on the higher side, the quality of the food and the overall experience justified it. The noise level was just right—quiet enough to have a pleasant conversation without being too hushed. I would highly recommend TingTing’s to anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“Great Food and amazing drinks“

“Delicious food. Great service. Clean and delicious !“

“Maybe the only spot in Chinatown that serves the sweet (or savory) tofu dessert! I’ve come here many times for that and the pork & vegetable buns. Both are so satisfying and hit the mark every time! I recommend this little spot to anyone craving nostalgic Chinese breakfast treats!“

“The atmosphere was warm, welcoming and comfortable. I recommend the dumplings, they are amazing and their Tea was extremely good. I made sure to get more to take home.“

“The food at Ji Bei Chuan was delicious, and we were not disappointed. It’s a small, cozy place with very good service.

Highly recommend giving this place a try—we’ll 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“

“Best bao buns in town I recommend it“

“Great Food and amazing drinks“

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

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu“

“Made reservations at 7pm at loch bar for my sister’s birthday. I got there first and since my sister was a few minutes away, the host couldn’t seat me without her. My sister arrived at 7:05pm and the host informed us that it was busy therefore we would have to wait at the bar until there is a table available. I’m not sure what is the point of a reservation, if you won’t be seated right away. The bartender was really nice and welcoming. 20 minutes later, there was an open table. The appetizers were delicious especially the mussels!!!! The caviar and potato skin were sooo good as well. The oysters were fresh & cold just how I like it. I ordered shots of clase azul for my sister’s bday and we decided to do a bump of caviar & a shot of clase azul. It was a great combo! Thank me later.“

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

“This was the best Cambodian spot I’ve been to. It was tucked away in a small street and looked like a local spot. I’m not from Philly so I was skeptical of it at first, especially with so little reviews.

It was so good. Best spring rolls I’ve ever had. And the broth was clean and delicious. My toddler loved it too. I got 2 #2 and spring roll and it was only ~$30. I will def go again and recommend it to my family and friends.“

“Great local spot for fresh yummy food“

“Just had this place for the first time. Got the lunch special garlic chicken. HIGHLY recommended. If I’m being honest, the non-lunch-special prices are a little high for the area, but that’s not to say it’s not worth it. Best Chinese food I’ve had since Flushing, Queens.“

“The best“

“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!“

“all food Good 100 persen like“

“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.“

“Great food! Easy walk from convention center! Enjoy!“

“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.“

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

“The chicken frames are full of great flavour. In my opinion, their braised chicken with brown sauce tastes even better than dedicated braised‑chicken chain restaurants — definitely give it a try!
If you can handle spicy food, go for extra‑hot on the grilled skewers. They taste fantastic.“

“Food is fresh, restaurant inviting. Nice large tables/booths. Food is delicious. Successfully met tastes of all 50 party guests“

“Eggplant yum. Dan Dan noodles yum. Delish.“

“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“

“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!“

“Authentic Taiwanese style dim sum and Asian tapas. Fantastic local joint located in a small mall complex.
•Braised pork belly tapas, ultra sumptuous with sweetened, soy sauced pork belly meat cubes with complete layering including translucent gelatinous pork skin. Ultra satisfying bite. Slivers of spinach in sauce perfect for flavoring rice
•Sauteed Mongolian beef, more like iron plate beef with the smokey wok hei kind of flavor vs sauced Mongolian but enjoyable still. Purple onion refreshingly crunchy and slightly sweet
•[not pictured] Dan dan noodles with tofu noodles with tender fresh thin wheat noodles and a savory umami punch of dried bean curd and spicy pepper oil, chili crunch, minced meat sauce.
•[not pictured] Osmanthus short ribs, richly honey sweet braised tender meat wrapped around the bone.
A bit unfortunate how there was a water problem which preempted availability of steamed dishes. Hoping it's a rare phenomenon.“

“Excellent Asian food! Great service!“

“Recently tried this place and the food is delicious. I did a make your own bowl and the broccoli was crunchy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I wasn’t a fan of dumplings wish they were chicken but weren’t bad . Definitely recommend“

“Not that good“
