“Food was great, the level of spice was good. I would definitely recommend this place. It was also very busy and I think reservation would be good if you want to go there.I had my favorite eggplant with preserved egg ? , soup was good! Definitely will be back!“
“Cool vibe, friendly service, I love the logo! We arrived as happy hour was changing over and quickly ordered. We found that our happy hour tacos we considerably less enjoyable than the ones we ordered after happy hour concluded. Fun spot, certainly would go before a show at Union Transfer.“
“Great food! Got the Ma Pao Tofu noodles (hand drawn) and the Szechuan Cold Noodles (knife cut and pork and chive dumplings to go. I've always wanted to try these styles of noodles and since I am here visiting and it was close by I jumped at the opportunity and it didn't disappoint!The hand drawn noodles I would recommend for the dishes that have a thicker sauce or soups and the hand cut noodles for anything that is a drier type of dish. The hand drawn noodles were a bit softer than the knife cut which was great for the Ma Pao Tofu dish and the knife cut has more of that QQ (chewy type) texture and is great for the Szechuan Cold Noodles.The Dumplings were great as well! Flavor and texture were spot on.You do have to have cash or the ability to pay by Venmo, but otherwise it's a great overall experience“
“Really great. I had the Chongqing spicy broth, wagyu, head on prawns, scallops, and lamb as my meats and went crazy in the self serve area. Great quality meats and vegetable selection. Broth was good, service was good. I had to wait for about 1 hour because you cannot make a reservation for a 2 top, but it was well worth it. I left completely satisfied for 40 dollars plus tax, no uncharged. Highly recommended.“
“Soft instrumental music, friendly staff, excellent ginger dressing on the house salad, and impeccable fish in the sushi, this spot is a must go for any sushi lover. Immaculate cleanliness with superb presentation. Cannot wait to visit again.“
“Totally enjoyed every aspect of my experience. Last night on a work trip and heard the name of this restaurant 2x today and ended up having a hair appointment near by and was able to walk! I sat at the bar downstairs and had amazing service. Had the enlightenment martini and the cashew chicken with jasmine rice. Hands down some of the best food I’ve eaten!“
“I love the food here so much! I became a vegetarian during the pandemic because I realized how much environmental damage the meat industry causes and how they have no repercussions for any of the harm they cause. At first, it was hard! There’s few vegetarian restaurants out there, and those that have vegetarian options are normally not that good. Let’s face it. Most veggie-style versions of food aren’t as tasty when you’ve eaten meat your whole life. But let me tell you, this place breaks that stereotype. It was hard learning to cook again since I’ve mostly known how to prepare different meat-based dishes my entire life. (With few exceptions) But this place was truly inspiring in that way. I learned that anything you could want could be made without the use of animal products. It’s life-changing to taste the possibilities that well-seasoned and prepared food can bring. I have taken my family, friends, and coworkers here since 2020, and I will never not love this place. It even holds a special place in my heart for another reason. My husband and I ordered our wedding feast from them and it just added to the magic of that special day. ❤️“
“Cash only, no Venmo!!!Past review say Venmo is allowed but in-person, Venmo was declined, only option was cash, credit card with fee, Apple Pay with fee.Hand pulled or shaved noodles here are excellent! Had dine in and take out before.Service is bare minimum, but not surprising from a Chinese restaurant.“
“What an amazing experience. The food was SO GOOD! I am not vegan or kosher personally, but if I were, I would be even further over the moon. If you are in the area, I would consider this a must-try. Next time I come to Philly I will be back!“
“Good vibe and good food! I was a bit surprised by the portion sizes and how small they were, considering that I would say this spot is pricey. The menu is also small, most dim sum restaurants I go to have a vast menu and are relatively inexpensive.With that being said, the chicken wontons were the star of the show for me! Along with the green fire cocktail… MUST TRY. The shrimp dumplings were also delicious, and the korean fried chicken wings were just OK.If I go back, I plan on trying to the cheesesteak bao as I heard they’re incredible.“
“Food is always good. Our server was very nice, friendly and helpful. Noise was a bit tough as there were two very loud kids sitting on both booths on either side of us. Kids being kids. Made for hard conversations with my elderly friend who is hard of hearing. Otherwise great lunch!“

“Dim Sum House is fantastic! Every dish I've tried there has been excellent. The location is convenient, and the atmosphere is cozy. Great place to make a reservation for special occasions like birthdays or NYE. Definitely a must-visit spot for delicious dim sum!Kid-friendliness: My toddler enjoyed many menu items.“
“We initially just picked this place because it was right next to our AirBnB and convenient. Let me tell you...this place was awesome!! The food was fantastic, service was great...we loved it. My husband admittedly ordered his food wrong and the server and chef were super cool and accommodating about it when they didn't have to be. Regardless of where we stay next time we're in Philly, we'll definitely be coming back here.“
“Absolutely loved this restaurant! I came here with my girlfriend on a random Wednesday evening and we were seated immediately. They even gave us a new table when they realized our first one was wobbly. Our server was incredibly polite and gave us details on all of the items we were interested in ordering. We had the vegetable egg rolls, pan fried pork soup dumplings, extra spicy shrimp dumplings, pickled garlic cucumber, scallion pancakes, and chicken & mushroom dumplings. As they bring the food to you, they announce the meals so you don't have to remember/worry about what you selected. They also have really delicious cocktails that I suggest.“
“Great Pan-Asian restaurant! Came here on a Monday evening with friends to celebrate a birthday! Definitely make reservations if you have a large party. Nice bar area to wait in or even grab a before dinner cocktail!Menu is amazing, so many great options!Definitely a must see if you’re in the city!“
“Small quiet cafe in china town. There are signs that say no cell phones but really they just don’t want you talking on the phone or web conferencing to keep the chill vibes. Most of the food is a bit pricey but the breakfast sandwich is cheap and worth it. They do have great coffee and tea. There is a fancy selection of coffees and teas for around $15 each which are definitely nice but not worth it on the regular.“
“Food was incredible, the atmosphere was lively and warm. I felt the service was super, helping me understand the menu and giving me tips with what I should order. This is the best Chinese food I've ever had, hands down. The winter melon tea is delectable btw“
“My daughter and I go to this restaurant every Saturdays after her tutoring at church. The food is always excellent. Food portions are always big and tasty. The owners are always so nice to us. We always get their orange chicken, shrimp with garlic sauce and shrimp fried rice. We highly recommend this place.“
“It’s my fav spot in center city for date night especially. It’s a chic, upscale vibe. A bit cozy but intimate seating. I have been fan of the food. Haven’t been there in a while, but it still the best spot. Fav dishes are dandan noodles, scallion pancakes, cumin fried dish(beef or chicken). This time tried double roast beans chicken , pepper fried fish, sichuan clay pot. Everything was amazing. The food comes in good quantity so we could eat family style. Or at the least share by two if you are stuffed with appetizers.“
“I’m crazy about this restaurant! I pickup at least once a week. General Tso is my absolute favorite. The egg rolls are amazing and I love the egg drop soup. The portions are big! Always leftovers. They have a ATM inside if you don’t have cash.“
“Fuji Asian is amazing! I have tried all of the restaurants in the area, and Fuji is by far the best of them all! Not only is their food incredible, the prices are extremely reasonable. I come every other week and always get the steak hibachi. Consistency and quality are important and it’s always amazing every time. They also have the best spicy mayo, which I love! It is a family owned restaurant and I would advise anyone in the area to support this local business. Give them a chance and like me, you will become a customer for life! Thank you Fuji“
“One of my favorite spots in the city! Great food and the service team feels like family. They’ll never steer you wrong if you want to try something new, and always deliver your favorites at a high and consistent quality! Maybe I’ll go this weekend - getting hungry while writing this review.“
“Unassuming location but fantastic food and service. We ordered a few appetizers - shrimp and pork sui mai, bbq pork bao bun, and the spicy chili oil dumpling., All were delicious but the chili oil was incredible, we poured and dipped everything else in it. We split an order of the crispy shrimp and walnut entree and had the lychee and honey lemon green teas to wash everything down. For a no-frills but tasty dim sum night, give this place a try!“
“I drive 45 min from where I live to get their food. It’s always fresh which you can’t say about every Chinese restaurant’s food. So far I’ve tried the vegetable egg foo young, the shrimp with broccoli, and the shrimp with garlic sauce.. I0/10 recommend this place.“
“This place is a gem . Don’t know why it wasn’t busy as hell when we went there because the service was great, the food was easily the best Chinese I’ve had in the city, and the portions were at least twice the size of any other place I’ve been to. Expect family style and leftovers . Orange chicken , hot and sour soup , scallion ginger shrimp and salt and pepper tofu are all perfected versions of themselves.“
“My friends and I came to Philly for a day trip from MD! As soon as we reached the city, we came to Chuan Kee Skewer for lunch :)The service was really good with the workers greeting us with a smile and wishing us a happy lunar new year. The food also came out really fast!We ordered an assortment of skewers and non-skewer dishes, my favorite being the Taiwanese sausage and chicken wings! I also really loved the eggplant dish too with how soft and runny it is :) All of the food definitely hit the spot after the long travel! I’ll be sure to come back when I’m in the area!“
“This is a hidden gem in Philly. The roasted pork was perfect and most melted in my mouth. Duck was phenomenal, all the greens were tasty and fresh. 10x better than any other place with a line out the door, which Lau Kee should have.Will be back for this amazing food and kind staff.“
“All I have to say is WOW! I'm always in the lookout for good Chinese food and I've found a hole in the wall place that's great. Fresh, hot & flavorful. I would suggest ordering ahead of time as this place is steady busy.“
“I've dined at this restaurant twice. I ordered the roast duck both times and found that the quality was much better the second time! This restaurant is a good option for folks who want authentic flavors WITHOUT the excessive grease and salt. Usually I don't care for the ambiance when dining in Chinatown because I'm just there for good food, but it's refreshing to get good service and enjoy a comfortable, clean, and less noisy dining experience overall while eating a tasty meal.“

“Great little spot for a quick dine-in or takeout. Good food at good prices. I had the chili oil wontons, which were great, and a lunch special order of chicken pepper and onions. Additionally ordered a lychee jelly green tea which was awesome! All made for a nice lunch.“
“I used to work in Chengdu China and the food here is pretty authentic, would highly recommend the eggplant with duck yolk sauce or the chefs special tofu. It’s spicy! But in the best way ?, also a bit pricey so more of a special treat for me.“
“It is hot pot buffet. very tasty and fresh. It is a good comibation of BBQ and hotpot. I have ordered BBQ beef, prawns, abalone(鲍鱼）for hot pot.。 I got mushroom, vegitable, beef, clams by myself. There is plenty of great food. I really like the delicous food and service. The waitress is very patient and pleasant. I will definitely dine there again. It is a hidden jem.“
“To start off, there was no wait!! Already off on a good note. When we arrived, we were directed upstairs where there were bigger tables and a great atmosphere. We were seated by to coolest server who went on to explain how their hotpot works. She really took her time and answered our questions. I was treating son and granddaughter to dinner. It was my granddaughter’s first hotpot experience and she was excited. They had a tablet at every table so you can pick out what you want a send it straight to the kitchen, which I thought was a great touch. When the food arrived to our table, the cook time was explained to us about every item. Everything was really good. We had both the waygu brisket and the waygu ribeye. We also had the seafood combo which came with abalone. I had never had it before but always wanted to try it. It was pretty good. Both broths were really delicious. My granddaughter and I choose the mushrooms broth and my son choose the original bone broth. The only thing I didn’t like was that you had to share the sauces with the other tables. You also had to pay for all of your drinks (soda, juice, milk tea). Other than that everything else was all you can eat. We had a great time a would definitely be back. I highly recommend this place.“
“Solid to go lunch options and one of the few prices point you'll still find for under $10 for lunch. No frills take out joint. The lunch egg roll has been downsized a bit here to more of a spring roll. The fried rice is passable but not the best out there.“
“Soy milk, steamed buns, tofu curds, and rice dumplings are all authentic and delicious. The boss is very friendly. Go early in the morning when there are fewer people, sit in the shop and eat slowly, with the sun shining on your face, it is very comfortable.“
“Swung in for a quick afternoon drink with my wife, server was very friendly & answered questions. However I noticed other staff didn't really speak much, and spoke to other patrons as they left, not sure what that was about. However the establishment was very clean, and our drinks was very good.“
“I highly appreciate this restaurant and the hard working and courteous restaurant staff. We as a family have eaten here for lunch and dinner, experiencing very well prepared meals including the steamed dumplings, chicken with vegetable sauté, hot and sour and wonton soups and chicken as well as shrimp with black bean sauce. In addition to an efficient and attentive server staff, a very helpful Manager Allen made a point to come over and greet me, my Bother & Sister-in-Law and my Aunt and Mom, giving my Mom & Aunt a slice of ice cream cake with candles spontaneously (when he learned that we were celebrating my Aunt and Mom's Birthdays)! Highly recommended“
“Ordered the beef stewed with noodle soup and the beef and beef ball noodle soup and it was amazing. We got the egg soda and it was also delicious! I should’ve ordered the regular size instead of a large because the portion size was huge. Will definitely come back“
“WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!It's hard to know where to start....my husband loves that the Schezwan food is spicy and delicious. I don't eat spices and there is a great variety of "not spicy" food for me to enjoy. The portions are HUGE so there are always lots of yummy leftovers. We've gotten food at China King 3 times now, and we will definitely be back. Every time, we've had a hard time picking what to order because there is such an extensive menu. But we pick, and then we order something extra just to try something new. We have not been disappointed!We call, we place an order, we pick up and take it home. The orders are always correct and complete. I've seen other reviews that were less than 5 stars, but those appear to be delivery orders -- I would blame the delivery service - not China King.“
“A very nice, quiet, casual eatery in Media, PA. A great place to meet when you want to enjoy a lovely meal, and be able to have a conversation at the same time. Unlike most area restaurants with loud background music or bands. The food is spot on, fresh and delicious. The service is wonderful. All staff are delightful and caring. Additionally, they make one Hell of a delicious Asian Pear Sakatini! :)“
“Amazing roasted duck!!! Not very fatty. The sauce come with the duck is very good too. The dumplings soup was okay, not very juicy but acceptable for me. Fried rice is good too. Highly recommend this place if you want roasted duck !!! Service was good ?“
“Love this place! The food is excellent and inexpensive for what you get, the service is great (they treat you like your family or their favorite customer), and to top it all off… they are a byob establishment. No need to pay inflated prices for your poison of choice.“
“Quick cheap tasty and my go to for rainy cold days. Takeout staples like egg foo young and general tso’s are consistently solid. I would say they also have the freshest tasting egg rolls of all the takeout spots in south Philly. The veggies on the inside actually have some texture instead of being defrosted mush. Fried rice has decent wok flavor too surprisingly. Just can’t go wrong as long as you stick to the familiar dishes.“
“Best halal Chinese take out in Philadelphia. They do have seating of four for 2 groups. They are also very clean and nice. Even the bathroom and the kitchen is clean. The best part is their food actually taste good and they have a good deal on the lunch special.Dietary restrictions: HalalParking: Usually parking is available but sometimes you might have to park far“
“Tracy Chinese Restaurant is the best in that particular neighborhood. I've lived there almost my whole life and this is the cleanest and tastiest Chinese restaurant around Kensington.... but it's Kensington so you already should have any idea of what's outside of the “
“Jin Ding is really good. The owner is now cooking here, and he’s atop Hong Kong chef. If you haven’t been here for a while, you should try their Christmas special. It’s really good and reasonably priced. But you better hurry because it ends by the end of the year. We had the Christmas special and we had stuff to take home. we came back again for an early dinner. Ming, the owner head chef out did himself we had roast duck, bean shoots with garlic, and a fish hot bowl. Super good stuff. Really Chinese tasting food. Felt I’m back in Hong Kong.“
“This establishment offers three main category of Chinese cuisines: Dim Sum, Noodles, and Traditional entrees. So if you can't decide, try all three! Although their menu is not as diversified as other dim sum places in Chinatown, all the dishes that we've ordered were quite tasty.Service was quick, as we waited just a few minutes before dishes were being served. Portions were generous as well. Be aware that some of the photos on their menu/signs did not match the actual entrees served. So if you have a dish that you really wanted to try out, make sure you get a confirmation with the staff on what it is you've actually ordered.This place do take credit cards as well as cash. But on credit cards, they have a minimum of $ 25 order. So make sure you have cash if you stop by for a quick bite.“
“Just moved here & wasn't sure where to choose. Normally, we look at the reviews. Golden Kitchen was rated the highest. We ordered & now are permanent customers!! Food arrived on time, fresh & hot!! Tonight's meal: Boneless ribs, Wonton soup, fries, 1 of each flavor egg rolls, fried wonton, fried crab stix & they threw in FREE a delicious order of General Tso's Chicken. LOVE GOLDEN KITCHEN!! WHY HAVEN'T YOU TRIED THEM YET!!!! ?? ? ???“
“Classic Narberth spot, it's been around for a grip. Awesome midday deal for lunch, and usually very quick when ordering take out! Very friendly too! It's a classic place with classic food, ifykykSome might not like the vibe but the food is very good for the price.“
