“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.“

“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.“

“Great local spot for fresh yummy food“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“😄🙏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 😃😄“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu“

“Great service and food!“

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

“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 😊“

“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!“

“Family Friendly. Amazing food with kind service. We have been coming for almost 20 years. BYOB!!“

“Grabbed some premade banh mi hoagies from the counter because I saw them through the window. They were about $5.50, and average tasting. The bun is soft, and not toasted. They don't put pate spread in them.

Not much else is open this early around here. If you want a quick bite, this place has it.“

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

“I’m from Taiwan, and finding sushi this perfect here was such a delight! The sushi was incredibly delicious and truly authentic. The environment was quiet and peaceful — my mom and I were tired from walking, and sitting down here to enjoy such tasty, reasonably priced food made us genuinely happy. If you come across this restaurant, you absolutely have to try it!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Glad to have you up here! Fresh Hot Crispy Spicy, all those things!“
