“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.“

“Found my new chinese food spot for sure. Been trying a bunch in the Jenkintown/glenside/elkins park area. And this is for sure my favorite. Kinda bummed to see some of these ratings, because i dont think its representative of my experience.“

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

“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.“

“What a wonderful gem! Delicious food, magnificent service. Absolutely no complaints.“

“All around my favorite place to go when I am in or even passing by Philadelphia. The food is fresh and authentic. My favorite thing to get is the dim sum and salt and pepper squid/shrimp. The staff and attentive, friendly and and fast. This a great place for a date, solo eating, birthday party for any age. The provide live music some nights.“

“Great Food and amazing drinks“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 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!“

“Great local spot for fresh yummy food“

“Excellent food, especially if you go early for dim sum, and the staff is polite and efficient. I usually get an order of string beans or whatever green veg I see first, then we pick from the rotating carts. I'ma say yes to everything that has shrimp. Lol. You can request custom orders during sim sum hours, too, FYI.

I've been there at night for traditional ordering, and that was really good, as well, but I like a little bit of everything, so I love dim sum.

Impressive space, too -- The chandeliers always catch my eye. I've seen several large events there, and there's a private dining room as well.“

“This might be one of the best ayce hot pot places I’ve been to!

You place your orders for meat via an iPad and all other foods (vegetables/fish balls/tofu etc) are self serve like a buffet. The meat comes out quickly and is good quality. The servers are very attentive and do a great job of taking away empty plates and replacing napkins. There are also some prepared foods, fruits, and desserts at the self serve station, as well as a full sauce bar. Drinks are located in the fridge (non alcoholic) and self serve, and are the classic Asian drinks like milk tea, aloe drink, and soy milk.

All tables have one large burner/one pot, so I wouldn’t recommend coming with a part of more than 4-5 people“

“They’re offering an all you can eat dim sum special from 11 AM-4 PM for just $16.99 per person, plus $2 for tea. The food is a solid 3.5 out of 5, but the value is unbeatable, five stars for price alone. All you can eat dim sum is a rare find in the city and definitely worth checking out. The taro bun was my favorite.“

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

“The loaded sweet potato fries are delicious. The cheese burger and chicken sandwich were both fantastic. This place offers a neat twist on most of their dishes you probably have never tried before. The menu is very diverse, plenty of options for everyone.“

“😄🙏今晚很开心和感恩🉑️以与老闆和同事參加一药廠在唐人街的百味餐館搞的免费晚餐講座I had a great, free CE dinner with my boss and colleague at Chinatown tonight! We actually got 4 courses dinner, including those delicious desserts at the end 有很多东西吃呢！The boss of the restaurant was very nice and great in service- checking on us here and there; and then gave us something for complementary! All of the dishes that we ate and shared were delicious 😃😄“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“This is my absolute favorite place to eat chinese food when I come home. Its just a tiny unassuming place in a shopping mall. Their Chinese Pizza (scallion pancakes) and Eggplant with Garlic Sauce is incredible! Their vegetables are so fresh. The delivery is always fast. The portions and prices are great. And they are lovely people. My parents have ordered from here for decades.“

“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.“

“I have never left a review so quickly!! First timer and did pickup. O m g. This is the best, freshest Chinese food I’ve ever had. Any other place you cut open the chicken and it GRAY. This was white meat chicken. My husband got sushi and said it was phenomenal. The restaurant itself is spotless and the woman behind the counter was so friendly. Absolutely will 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“

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

“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.“

“It’s hard finding good Chinese food in West Philly & my standards are high. I ordered won ton soup, veggie lo mein & spring rolls. Delivery was timely, the food was hot & delicious! This may be my new go to spot to order from.“

“Food? DELICIOUS. Drinks? AMAZING. Service? TOP NOTCH. Staff? FRIENDLIEST people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I will be back. Count on it!“

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu“

“Pussy driver shook my Pepsi up I’m calling back and telling him he forgot his tip n do my American best to break his jaw…. I recommend they insure their drivers health for shaking my Pepsi- he forgot it not me-“

“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 😊“

“Amazing sushi and service! Great for families with kids too!“

“I was blown away by this place, I can’t wait to come back!

The atmosphere is clean, modern, and sexy inside!

Blueberry General Tso chicken - 10/10 - it is bright, light, crispy, the flavor combination really works!

Stirfry Beef - 10/10 - excellent presentation, the beef was extremely tender, the flavor profile was super savory.

The complimentary cabbage salad that they put out when you sit down was so spicy, pickley and delicious!

Bonus, they have lychee martinis on the menu!

Our server was super friendly and attentive.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My First Time Trying This Restaurant. Very Clean , Service was Great. Food came out very quickly. I order. Ginger scallion Lobster, pepper shrimp, seafood fry rice, pan fried noodles with Chinese broccoli. Thai fish, salt & pepper wings. Everything was amazing.“

“This was perfectly executed New York-style takeout. Everything was delicious and the chef was accommodating to my special requests. I got one of the dinner combos. The egg roll was made in-house, stuffed full of veggies and seasoned with pork. The pork fried rice was delicious with strong char siu pork flavor. And the General Tso’s had a great sweet flavor with a hint of five-spice and a hint of heat. I’m new to town, this was my first Chinese order. I found my place!“

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

“I’ve been coming to Chengdu Famous Food regularly—it truly feels like my second dining hall. The food is made by authentic chefs and aunties from Sichuan, and it shows: every dish is bursting with flavor, the portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly fair.
What really sets this place apart is the warmth of the service. Every staff member is kind, attentive, and welcoming. It’s rare to find a place that tastes like home and treats you like family.
If you're craving real Sichuan food near Penn or Drexel, this is the spot. Highly recommended!“

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

“Great wonton noodle soup house. Quintessential Chinatown experience. Wonton Soup still pre-Covid priced at $7.50/bowl. Extras inflated the cost but brought me back to lunches and its friends and family. Served with hot tea and appetizer plate of roast pork,duck, and crispy pork belly. Fed four of us at $80 with tip. Come in for a regular meal in Chinatown. No fancy experience but good home cooked meal.“

“Delicious Cantonese style roast pork and duck. Fast, friendly and efficient service. The menu is pretty straight forward (meat, rice or noodle or soup, veg combos) and you can enjoy your lunch at one of the nearby tables if you're able to snag one. Very generous portions and flavorful with the meat drippings that they ladle over the rice.“

“This is our go to Chinese restaurant! The first and only that we really love around here! It’s a 20 min walk from us and in hot weather it feels longer, but it’s ALWAYS worth it! They’re so nice, the food is awesome, fair prices, and our order is always right! Their cheese pizza rolls are so good! Which are a nice treat when you want pizza and Chinese lol. Their shrimp eggs rolls are also my favorite! I usually get two :)“
