“Listen Kay was not bad. He has a lot of potential. I really do think he try’s hard but lacks the skill of time management. I definitely do think he can throw a jab one two with his “heavy hands” on the soda machine(lil cherry). He hooked me up with that little cake good work. He did bark at me though. All in all he’s been hustling. Kay get yo money up not yo funny up lil bruh. Much love, Wroof-Wroof.“

“I can’t say enough great things about PF Chang’s and their catering team! I order catering for my 2 offices 1–2 times per month, and the service and delivery are always spectacular. Holly is nothing but professional, punctual, and incredibly pleasant every single time we work with her.
Every PF Chang’s needs an employee like Holly — someone who is truly dedicated, dependable, and so kind. Holly, thank you for everything you do to ensure smooth deliveries and EXCEPTIONAL food for my company. Your hard work and consistency never go unnoticed!“

“Great Food and amazing drinks“

“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.“

“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!“

“It’s legit the best Chinese takeout in the area, bar none. I’ve spent 5 years looking for somewhere like this.

The Singapore mei fun is chock full of deliciousness, the lo mein isn’t greasy or stingy on the veggies, and the staff is super sweet.

I’ve never had anything from here that’s disappointed me.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great local spot for fresh yummy food“

“Elegant interior, tailored menu and combos.

Order upfront and served takeout style so easy to go, but portions should be just enough for a meal. Appreciate drink sizes seem like a large.

Best is the like new and clean seating and marble tables and restrooms.

Price seems high to reflect so enjoy a pleasant and cozy seating, at least not too busy on weekend brunch.“

“Excellent food and very reasonable price compared to other Chinatown dim sum restaurants. The food is self-serve: you grab a tray and go pick what you want and bring it to your table on your own. Staff take away your used trays and empty dishes.“

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

“Solid spot for Chinese takeout! The menu has a wide variety of food. I would definitely come back when I'm craving Chinese food.“

“The best“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Do not judge the elevator entrance, this restaurant is my favorite hidden in the open gem. Their broth is deep with flavor and aroma. Lots of options to add into your HotPot. Big tables, lovely atmosphere, a never miss when we visit Philly.“

“My husband and I love this place what makes it so good is the fact the lady and her husband know my husband’s order, no matter how often go as soon as walks in and they see it’s him, they’ll say same thing then say order…..down to the Ttttttt; always so nice and food is always fresh and hot.“

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

“Best bao buns in town I recommend it“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

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

“Comforting meal for an affordable price. Loved how efficient the ordering process was and how fast the food came out. Piping hot and delicious

Not pictured in this are the rice rolls my friends ordered. As others have mentioned, they are on the thicker, more chewier side. Personally I like mine silkier so it wasn’t for me, but it was still enjoyable“

“Went to China Town today looking for Peking duck. We came across this restaurant and decided to try it. I was not disappointed! This might very well be the best Peking Duck I have ever eaten! We will be back for sure! The customer service was outstanding as well!“

“Wait staffers very helpful with menu“

“I ordered twice from them through Uber Eats and the food is fantastic! The first time I had fried rice, bbq spare rib tips, blue lemonade, and cheesesteak roll. This time I had regular lemonade with young chow fried rice. I sprinkled soy sauce on it in the picture, but trust me, it didn’t need it, it’s good on its own and I was just being extra lol. They’re officially my favorite Chinese food spot. They’re flavorful, consistent, and always piping hot!“

“I had such a good experience here. The broth was genuinely flavorful — not watered down or overly salty like some places. We did a split pot and both sides stayed rich the whole time. The spicy broth actually had depth to it instead of just heat, which I really appreciated.

The ingredient quality stood out the most. The meat was thinly sliced and fresh, not frozen-tasting, and the vegetables looked crisp and clean. Their sauce bar was also surprisingly good — lots of options, and everything tasted fresh. I liked being able to mix my own without it feeling messy or picked-over.“

“Can't even remember when I had curry chicken they seasoned it perfectly and that is my new lunch dinner and possibly breakfast because they made it great and it even helped inflammation in my body. My new go to .. the other food was the best as well! I'll add a pic later!“

“Moved to the area 5 years ago. Have struggled to find a half decent Chinese restaurant anywhere nearby. After dozens of really terrible local options we just gave up. In a desperate need to feed the family without time to go grocery shopping, I finally tried Golden Key. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and food is as decent as I make from scratch at home.

Most notably, they seem to make an effort to wash their vegetables really well. I can rarely eat restaurant vegetables 'cause they're so poorly cleaned & still covered in industrial ag chemicals (I work in the industry, as such I'm sensitized to the chemicals. Any residual in the produce I consume makes me sick)“

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

“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“

“This was my go-to spot for delicious takeout food when I lived in Philadelphia. I'd drive out of my way to pick this up. The mango basil fried rice is amazing! I also liked the hunan shrimp. I moved away years ago but got some food again last week when visiting the area, it is still just as yummy as I remember it! The inside is bit rough around the edges but that's normal for takeout spots. Whenever I'm in the area the mango basil fried rice is a must get! Definitely a hidden a gem!!! 😋“

“Best Chinese food we have had in a long time! The staff were friendly. We all ordered different items and everything was delicious. The meat is hand breaded and fried. Towards the back you can see the staff hand making and stuffing dough. Would recommend to anyone in the area!“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Jiang Nan has a dark, intimate vibe, but the spotlight lighting on the food makes everything look extra good. Service was quick and way more friendly and hospitable than most Chinatown spots. They even gave us a small complimentary spicy cabbage that was super refreshing.We ordered the Peking duck, salted egg yolk fried prawns, and Dan Dan noodles. The duck was sooo tender and the skin was crispy but light, not hard or chewy like Sang Kee can be sometimes. The salted egg yolk prawns were really good and nice and crispy. The Dan Dan noodles were okay, just a little basic compared to the other dishes. I’d definitely go back to try more. Just FYI, happy hour is only Monday–Thursday!“
