“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.“
“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.“
“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. ❤️“
“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!“
“Great food at amazing prices - well worth your visit. One of my favorite appetizers is crab rangoon. I've tried a bunch of places and this is by far the best. They are full flavored, crispy, and the perfect pull-apart star shape.We tried both the hand drawn noodles in a soup and the shaved noodles in a stir fryThree treasures - amazing! The shrimp was perfectly cooked, plus you can add your own spice level with Sriracha or house made chili paste.It was hard to pick a favorite dish between the two, but luckily they are large portions so I'm bringing home leftovers!“
“ive been to many american chinese places in philadelphia- Asian Bamboo is definitly one of my top 3! Their chickn & broccli is uncompatable! They have very fresh food. Also, as an added bonus have sushi ....again extremly fresh and tasty! i drive 15 minutes past probly 15 other chinese resturants to get my take out here!“
“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.“
“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.“

“Well well well... why didn't I know about this place sooner?! My mommy treated me out for dinner in celebration of my birthday and we decided to eat family style because duah were family but because we are greedy too haha. Anywho.. I was very impressed by the interior as the restaurant was so cute inside--Very dim, and just a complete vibe. Our server was very patient and helpful with guiding us through the menu items. I had a blueberry lemon drop to start out which was very light, sweet and refreshing--My kind of drink. We ordered the salt and pepper wings and trio seafood, along with the string beans, authentic fried rice, shrimp pad Thai, sui mai and for dessert we tried the egg custard buns. Everything was quick, hot, flavorful and just perfect. I have not stopped thinking about this place since, and surprisingly the star of the show for me was the Egg Custard Buns which I tried for the first time and I was super impressed--They were warm, fluffy, and paired perfectly with the sweet custard on the inside, and it wasn't heavy either!! 10/10 across the board for me... Thanks Dim Sum House!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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!“
“It’s been a few months since I last ordered from Asian Fresh Kitchen. As they say first impressions last !! The first time I ordered here the food was amazing, the second not so good. Last night feeling under the weather, I decided to give Asian Fresh Kitchen another shot.II ordered General Tso’s chicken, vegetable, lo mein, one shrimp roll, and two orders of chicken on a stick. I ordered on Uber eats and within about 20 minutes the driver arrived. the food was delivered in a paper bag that was sealed. The food was piping hot. I was really impressed with how well it was packaged. To my delight General Tso’s Chicken was moist, savory, spicy and delicious the broccoli was perfect !!! The vegetable lo mein was very tasty ? The noodles were cooked to perfection !! Chicken on the stick was a first for me. I thought that it was Salty, crunchy and very tasty and lastly the shrimp roll was moist and delicious.I’m not sure what happened this past summer when something just seemed to change here but regardless these pictures and this tasty food says that Asian Fresh Kitchen is back on track serving delicious savory Chinese food !! Take a look ? you know your mouth is watering, so do what’s right and make that phone call and order some of this amazing food !!! Well Done Asian Fresh Kitchen !!“
“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.“
“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.“

“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“My husband and his family have gotten food from Sandy (owner) since he was a little boy and now he is in his 40s with a family of his own. Even though we don't live close by for delivery anymore, we still order from them and I will go and pick up the food. Their food is delicious, the price are reasonable and the service is great. Sandy and her team are awesome. When I go to pick up my food and get to watch her in action, it amazes me how she remembers her customers' names, thus the loyalty she gets from repeated customers. She is so nice too. Not only do we order food for our meals, I also like to order her food for parties that I host. Price are reasonable and my guests always compliments the food. Less cooking I need to worry about. Some of our favorites when we order are: general tso chicken, fried wonton (my husband only like hers), sum gum lomein, pork fried rice, chicken wings, boneless spare ribs (one of the best...i tried other places... not the same), spare ribs, stir fry pork bean sprout (i don't see this on other Chinese food menu), sweet and sour chicken. Shrimp egg foo young, and her soups. We tried other items on her menu, but these are our favorites.“
“Food. This place is now the best dim sum anywhere in the city. And for dinners they are well known for the fresh lobster. Get it with hot peppers or with salt/pepper.Service. The owner is always on site, tireless and attentive. Staff are dressed on point and an extension of her charisma.Atmosphere. This venue hosts the main Chinese New Year and community events every year. You can see all the Chinatown restaurateurs and community builders here. This is the place that organized to change Phila voting ballots to add a third language choice next to English and Spanish, reflecting the new demographics of the city.“
“I called them if I can pay by cash when they deliver and they were very informative and nice about it. They close at 11:30 at the time of ordering and I ordered at 11:00 and they came around 11:40, they were not mad about it at all and the food was sooooo Delious. 2 fried rice with orange chicken and god was that chicken so good“
“This place is legit. Spicy, but they nail the spice level exactly what I wanted (your mileage may vary). Fast service, nothing special but very polite. The dining room has a college area vibe, stripped down and simple but clean. It's all about really good, fresh, well-executed, spicy Sichuan food. I'm a fan!“
“We ordered online for Christmas Eve Dinner it was easy & quick & you could leave any special requests with each dish It said 45-60 mins & it was here in less then 25mins & each request was done & FOOD WAS AMAZING TY King Wok for making our Night so AWESOME!“
“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“
“Pretty good food, flavorful broth, good variety of meats. Attentive servers. Nice decor and atmosphere.The tray of sauces that stops by your table for 0.2 seconds, was also pretty cool. Though each table should have their own in my opinion.“
“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 ?“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“We ordered late, at 9:30 pm , for delivery. The came fast, hot, and delicious. First, sorry for the late order, our cat went into labor earlier today and we lost track of time. Second, thank you so much for the continued excellent food and service.“
“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 “
“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“
“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.“
“This place is a hidden gem. The food came out in less than 5 minutes so consider staggering your order unless you want to feast like a king. It was hands down the best chicken satay I’ve ever had, we had to order a second one after we finished all of the food. Beef Rendeng was fantastic as well. Only thing we ordered that I wouldn’t get again was the spare ribs which were overly fried. Overall this place is fantastic and a BYOB, will be going back very soon.“
“I hadn’t had salt pepper spare ribs（椒盐排骨）cooked this way for a long time so I was very happy.I am still giving 5 stars because I personally didn’t care too much. But I noticed a small piece of plastic (from a plastic bag or something like that) in the rice. I guess this happens when you have a small kitchen on a truck.“
“Been craving Chinese for over a week now. So good totally hit spot. Chicken broccoli house fried rice was perfect. Crab ragoon was good. The only complaint I had was that the general tsos chicken was too hard I couldn't really chew it. I was upset cuz it did taste good and I couldn't eat it. Would definitely order from here again tho“
“I seriosuly drove 40 minutes more only to eat in here rather than going to other hmart. There Jjam-bbong is more like a Gyo'dong style, which has a very deep and smooth soup, loved their noodle and Tang-soo-yook as well.I highly recommend Kongnamul Gochu Jjam-bbong.It's a truly great tasting party. Gyodong Jjamppong has been well researched and the soup has a strong aroma and taste, but it's not too irritating or irritating and has a high level of taste bb.“
“Your boneless Duck in brown sauce and vegetables is the best. It went up in price a few dollars but it’s worth it. Best Duck I ever had and I’ve been around a long time. Your General TSO’s chicken is also the best I’ve ever had and my wife confirms that. Along with a side of Pork Fried Rice, oh boy yummy. Best Chinese Food by far.“
“Great food and quick service. Came here with a hungry group, and our food came pretty quickly and hit the spot! A few of us split a scallion pancake, and it was quite good--flaky/not hard and had some nice layers. It was on the small side but still good for sharing. I tried the knife cut roast pork stir fry noodles and enjoyed the flavor of the meat and the slightly varied textures of the noodles! Very flavorful but not too rich. I enjoyed the veggies that gave a nice texture contrast with the noodles. I also sampled some of the house noodle bowl with the hand pulled noodles, which were also great! The broth was tasty, and there were a lot of varied meats and veggies included. With the solid food, fair prices, and good location, I'd definitely come here again!“
