50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Glenolden

“I walked in and ordered. I was treated with respect, guy took my order and listened to my requests. My food was made fresh and was still hot when I got home. Eggroll was crispy. Rice and sesame seed chicken on point. Not too expensive I spent 12$. Its hard to find a place to eat that's cheap and good also good size portions. I got 2 meals out of my platter. And they where cleaning while I waited for my food. It was clean.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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 :)“

“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. The owner was always checking on the guests and making sure everyone was satisfied. You can tell they really care about their customers. Highly recommend giving this place a try—we’ll definitely be back!“

“If I had to limit dining to one restaurant in Philly, this would be it.“

“Best bao buns in town I recommend it“

“Great Food and amazing drinks“

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu“

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

“used to loveeee their seafood spaghetti. cried when they downsized their menu T_T but i still enjoy the other dishes they still have up!!! only thing is that it feels like they change their format everytime i go in..? used to be a really nice, chic resturaunt, but now opted for a more take-out service, which i do not mind“

“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!“

“Great local spot for fresh yummy food“

“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.“

“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“

“all food Good 100 persen like“

“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 experience very happy with the staff and food and great atmosphere it’s at one“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent Asian food! Great service!“

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

“Not that good“

“Anyone who dares give this place less than 5 stars has got to answer to me! This is a phenomenal little place. A huge portion of Dan Dan noodles with minced pork for under $10. You cannot beat that. I can't wait to try other dishes from this place!“

“This local restaurant features authentic Xi'an-style noodles and traditional Chinese dim sums, showcasing a rich culinary heritage. I especially enjoy the belt-thick Biangbiang noodles, handcrafted daily by skilled chefs and served with a hearty, savory meat sauce that highlights their al dente texture. The hot sour soup they offer, brewed with a delicate balance of vinegar and white pepper, is regarded as the best in town, offering a tangy complement to the other dishes. Although the restaurant has been modestly remodeled, with simple decor and practical furnishings, it maintains high standards of cleanliness and warm hospitality, creating a welcoming dining atmosphere.“

“I had high hopes after seeing a tiktok about how someone enjoyed the food and service here. Having said that the service was excellent. The owner was very sweet and thoughtful which I truly appreciated. The food however wasn't the best tasting in the city. The chicken wings were the best part but barely noteworthy. It tastes like my shrimp and broccoli has been seasoned with old bay and my white rice was a bit soft. The fried was was tasty but the general tso chicken was small and a little chewy. Cheesesteak Roll was good. Overall I'm not disappointed with my experience but I would have second thoughts about returning.“

“Do not judge a book by its cover. I almost didn’t eat here because (in my mind) it looked too casual. It is very bare bones and only has about 6 tables. Me and my husband were looking for crispy duck. We ended up getting the “roast duck (Hong Kong style). It was a huge amount for $20!!! Lots of juicy tender duck meat with crispy skin in a sauce that was delicious. We also had the shrimp dumplings (8 but I had already eaten 3) where you could actually detect lots of shrimp, no mystery seafood filler. My husband ordered a side of fried rice. The whole meal was outstanding, delicious and at a great price.“

“Been wanting to try this place for years and finally made it today! The fried gizzards were good—perfectly cooked and not tough or chewy. The cheesesteak egg rolls were decent too. Glad I finally got to try it!
The area around this place is a little rough. The service was fine.“

“Delicious option for kuy teav[1] - Cambodian noodle soup - and they're open early (9am)! Besides noodles, try their special fried rice, it comes with all the proteins, including savory beef.

Full of locals. Bring headphones if you're easily triggered: a dude answered two calls while I was there, and when he wasn't talking on the phone, he was endlessly on the TikTok. When he left, it was blessedly quiet except for noodle slurps.

Quick service. Last I was here, the server was busy. When she had a moment, I left my seat to pay her early. When I got back to my table, my bowl was gone. :( On the bright side, there was very little left, but I was hoping to savor it... :D

Limited seating. Cash only. There's a TV. (Thanks to whoever put the BBC on!)

Warning: In the men's bathroom, the hot water can get extremely hot.

[1] Anyone who knows me knows that I'm extremely loyal to a different kuy teav restaurant - this is my backup kuy teav spot.“
