50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Clifton Heights

“Tried a dozen places since we moved here 8 months ago. This is the first place we found with normal looking fried rice (Brown and white fried with char spots and multi colored) and not the all yellow rice. This was clearly cooked fresh, tastes fresh, will return.“

“My girlfriend and I ordered and it was just over an hour later. We called to get an update on our order. The manager or owner answered and gave him the order number. He said it was delivered. I told him it was not delivered. He called the driver and three waited the call. The driver said she handed me the order which she did not. Come to find out that she didn't call to say she was there and have it to an unknown house. So someone got a free meal. They made a new order and the manager/owner delivered it himself. I appreciate what he did and because of that I will order from there again. I hope the driver gets fired for incompetence.“

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

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

“Great Food and amazing drinks“

“Uniquely seasoned food served promptly and pleasantly. Outdoor seating is available in a private booth design that's very 'public' since it's on the sidewalk. The interior design is remincent of authentic Chinese culture with wooden dragons carved in the wall. You can sit at the bar or sit in the main dining area. The culinary delights are streamed, gluten free or lightly fried. The chilli sauce/oil is a nice surprise it's fragrant with a hint of perfume of anise, cardamom and clove, amongst other herbs,all smothered in oils and Sichuan pepper. I highly recommend this spot.“

“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.“

“Great local spot for fresh yummy food“

“Great food, great service, very friendly staff.“

“This is one of my favorite spots to eat at. They have a wide variety of tasty foods to choose from. This is my third time coming here. I got the creamy cod roe udon twice among other things. The service and atmosphere is amazing! They have great dessert choices as well.“

“I do hope the owners bring back their original menu and start offering biang biang noodles and the pork rib noodle again. Those noodles were so fresh, authentic, and flavorful. For our family, these items were what really set this place apart from other Chinese restaurants in the area, and why we visited multiple times a week. We are anxiously waiting for the menu to update again!“

“Boljug RASANE ..cuma PORSInya Krg NENDANK dr segicu HARGAnya!!!:D“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The food is as amazing as the owner. HAN IS THE MAN!!! Get the Dan Dan Noodles.“

“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.“

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

“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 LOVE coming to Bao Nine! Best place to eat! Great food, comfortable atmosphere, quick service! REAL FOOD!“

“This might be a hole in the wall restaurant in Chinatown, but it has the best BBQ in town. The BBQ pork (roast pork) is stellar, with great bean paste flavors beside the usual five spice, soy, honey. Roast duck, soy sauce chicken and the ginger and scallion chickens are all outstanding and authentic. Great prices too.“

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

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

“I was here today for the first time. Had a late lunch. Kosher vegan. The food is excellent. The service very friendly. I will definitely be back.“

“I just ordered from here a second time and it did not disappoint. The prices are reasonable, the portions are large, and the flavor is on point. THIS is what I remember Chinese food tasting like before prices went up and quality went down. Delivery is also incredibly fast.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Great service and food!“

“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.“

“Got general Tso chicken, pork fried rice and an iced tea for $10.50. No idea how they are able to charge this little but the food wasn’t bad at all. The pork fried rice was a lil blah, next time I will just get white rice. I didn’t call to order and my food took a lil while but I was very happy with the general tso chicken. Will order again.

Parking: Small lot. Shared with laundry.“

“Not that good“

“I love Sid!! That’s my girl. She always take care of me when I go in there. She’s also always SUPER NICE to my daughter and gifts her with little treats and snacks. Food is always AMAZING and service is always GREAT. 10 out of 10 would 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.“

“Chang San another hole-in-the-wall authentic, true Southern Chinese/Szechuan restaurant of a hidden gem. The aroma, flavours, taste are so immensely delectable and deep. Stir-fry and seasoned/sauteed dishes/sizzling dishes are impeccably tantalizing. Reasonable prices and portions, as well. Parking is yet another challenge in the Philadelphia area, so side-street parking may be available (metered, maybe)“

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

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

“We tried Super Wok for the first time because the place we usually order delivery from was unexpectedly closed. The food was very good, and the delivery was fast and food arrived nice and Hot. They had really good egg rolls, and I liked that the Szechuan and General Tso chicken was actually spicy as it should be. This may be our new "go to" place for chinese delivery.“

“Great steamed dumplings! We have tried many of the dishes and find everything to be very delicious. The owners are so sweet and kind. Always pleasing and pleasant. So glad they are so close.“

“Clean,food is delicious. Never disappoints. Great service.“

“I have ordered dinner delivery from here a few times. All of the food has been very tasty.

Sweet Water Noodles: I really enjoyed - they had a tasty chewy texture and flavorful sweet & spicy sauce.
Cucumber w Garlic Purée: very refreshing and tasty.
Chef Z’s Dumplings: high quality & flavorful.
Eggplant w Salted Egg Yolk: I loved this a lot and it balances out the spicy dishes.
Mala Dry Pot: wasn’t my cup of tea but was full of complex flavor that someone who enjoys that type of dish would enjoy.
Dan Dan Noodles: very tasty (keep in mind that the mild level of spicy is still spicy for most palates in this country) - the peanut flavor kept me coming back for more bites. Shredded Pork w Garlic Sauce: very flavorful and enjoyable as well - I gobbled it down.

Shredded Beef Burger w Green Ox Horn Pepper: very flavorful, but one of the buns was stale/too chewy/dry - weirdly the other bun was good.“

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

“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.“

“There food is always good. I love the shrimp and broccoli rolls. Not to many stores have them. I only knew of one other store that sold them when I was a kid. Thesgore still stands but no shrimp rolls. Hands down one if the best Chinese stores in west phiy“

“It is affordable and has a large portion. It is said that the beef brisket rice is delicious, but the quantity of beef brisket rice is limited, so it is best to buy it before twelve o'clock.
There were a lot of people queuing up and you had to wait for about fifteen minutes.“
