Ming River Sidewalk House Reviews
came here since i was a kid to get peanut noodles -- always hits the spot everytime. lady also makes me fried eggs on request too. love this place
A very homey and authentic Chinese restaurant! Trust me on this because I’ve been eating here since I was in Kindergarten(I’m a college student now!) If I were to count how many times I’ve been here it’ll definitely be way over 100 times. They’ve basically watched me grow up throughout the decade.

Had pig liver with rice and vegetables in a sweet sauce. Very good. I want to try the peanut noodles and the fish ball soup next time. Fuzhou food. Thank you.
The Ming River Sidewalk Cafe offers a solid dining experience, focusing on Fujianese staples. Customers recommend trying the ding bian hu with seafood, noted for its homey feel and generous seafood portions. The foo chow pancakes are a highlight with their light and airy batter that provides a good crunch. Other popular dishes include the beef tripe noodle soup, peanut butter noodles, fried dumplings, and oyster omelets. The restaurant is known for serving the best mini wonton soup in the entire Philly Chinatown area, and the prices are excellent, though customers mention that the menu prices may not be up-to-date.
The service is unique, reflecting a strong Fuzhou accent, and diners can order in the Fuzhou dialect. This place is a go-to for authentic Fuzhounese comfort dishes at great prices, with three dishes often available for less than $10. The establishment can be described as very simple and bare bones, perfect for a quick meal. The interior is quaint, with a good amount of seating. Each table has a squirt bottle of vinegar for garnish, adding to the dining experience. Overall, the food is mild and savory, and customers express a desire to explore more items on the menu, particularly the variety of soups offered. The restaurant is cash-only, so guests are reminded to bring cash when visiting.
