Great place to try dimsums out. I've been there a couple of times, and none of the food items ever disappoint. They also have a great vegetarian selection.

Gluten free dim sum! Its so hard to find but this place has multiple options! I got steamed shrimp rolls, fried shrimp and bacon rolls, and turnip cakes. All were so good. They have gluten free soy sauce as well and the menu was very clearly marked (X means gluten free). Staff was very knowledgeable on gluten free stuff as well! I can't wait to come back!

It was a very disappointing experience. The waitress was rude and with the place not very pack and people taking their time to leave we were hurriedly given out bill and were the only black folks in there. The food is not great but not the worse either. My first awful experience in Philly and it was very upsetting.

Great spot for dumplings and noodles. Excellent rice noodle rolls and siu mai, delicious soup dumplings, and really good pork bun with a good amount of filling. Quick service.

It’s been a while since our last visit, but Nom Wah never disappoints. Still one of our top-notch spots for dim sum!

No match for the original location, and because we came in right at opening we could tell some of the foods, not all, were prepared probably from the night before and microwaved for service (I.e. har gow with dried out edges and a lukewarm center, etc). If you are looking to experience nom wah and are in Philadelphia, do yourself a favor and come a few hours after opening after they've burned through leftovers so you can have a decent meal. Service was passable but kind of unfortunate since we were the only ones in the restaurant at the moment without much interaction with the staff member.

This is our favorite chinese restaurant in the city. We do take out several times a mobth. We eat there as a family. We had them cater the friday night family dinner for my son's bar mitzvah (and were back there today for his birthday). Awesome dim sum. We get frozen pork shu mai to make at home ;) Full of delicious classics. World's largest pork buns are like giant clouds of yum.

All of the food were amazing. Especially, I like spicy wonton (it's not soup), turnip cake, sticky rice with lotus leaf, and steamed lotus buns!

The restaurant is small, there is a long booth with tables and chairs on one side, a few tables in the corner and a small bar. I walked in and was seated with no wait. They dropped off a plastic menu with pictures and an order sheet, and you checked off what you wanted. There is no talking or communication with the server. The food comes out quickly in batches. I ordered soup dumplings, which looked small but were packed full of meat and had just the right amount of soup inside, pan-fried dumplings, shrimp balls, and shrimp fried rice. Everything was very tasty.

Great dim sum. Miss the rolling carts of food and choices. Everything was very good. Prices were very reasonable.
