Szechuan Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“When I saw how affordable this spot was, I wasn’t expecting to be wow’d by the food but oh my goodness it was good! I got the chicken chow mein, pork dumplings in chili oil and the crunchy spicy cucumber. The heat levels were perfect (I got medium for the chow mein and dumplings, and the recommended level for the salad). I could still taste all the flavors but my mouth was coated perfectly in sichuan. The balance of sweetness and aromatics in everything - especially the pork dumplings - was delicious.

The staff was friendly, the wait time was short, the food was fresh.

I will absolutely be coming back and you should too :)“

“Great Food and amazing drinks“

“Delicious food. Great service. Clean and delicious !“

“Great food! delicious soft shell crab, vegetable dishes, soup dumplings, & more!“

“Nice spot for quick Chinese food. Spacious inside. All dishes were good and enjoyable, but nothing to rave or write home about. Would recommend for an easy casual meal for convenient location. Would not recommend for out of towners as there are other options a few blocks away.

Between 2 ppl we had dan dan noodles, spicy cucumbers, Tom yum soup, miso soup, and 2 orders of twice cooked pork belly (with mushrooms).“

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

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

“While out in the field working, I stopped at Kung Fu Tea/Dumpling District on City Avenue. It’s a convenient place to grab something quick, with a nice variety of drinks and food options available in one location. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, and the service was efficient. I would definitely stop by again while working in the area.“

“Great, spicy food per my request. The chili oil dumplings just disintegrate into your soul. The crispy tofu also slapped. Honestly, I couldn't find anything out of the 6 entrees we had that was anything less than great. This sated the need for great Sichuan.“

“Best food in Philly (especially their chicken wings) You have to try this place out at least once. Workers are so kind and efficient in working. It was very quick, easy and simple. I got all my foods packed within 20 minutes after I called in for pick up. :)“

“We wanted to try something new in old City. Love the area. There was great smell coming from the place and it drew us in. The food was good and our server was good.“

“Have been ordering with them since they first opened. Food is amazing. Always get General Tso’s chicken. Boneless spareribs and any kind of Lo Mein. Sometimes sweet n sour chicken too. Egg rolls n pizza rolls. No one has compared yet“

“I have only ever ordered delivery from them. Everything I have ordered has been deliscious, though. Like anywhere, there are very occaisonal minor hiccups in quality over time when you order from somewhere a lot: things along the lines of something being slightly overcooked, or very occaisonally recieving the wrong drink. It is one of my go-to places when I am sick or am looking to eat something comforting. I really ought to visit in person sometime as it is not too far from where I live.“

“Spice Bistro exceeded my expectations! Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and tasted fresh.
The crispy stir-fried meat was perfectly crispy on the outside while staying tender inside, coated in a rich savory-sweet sauce with peppers and onions that added a nice crunch. The pickled pepper fish soup had a bright, tangy broth with just the right amount of spice, and the fish was incredibly tender. We also had the clam steamed egg, which was silky smooth, comforting, and full of umami from the fresh clams.
The portions were generous, the ingredients tasted high quality, and each dish had its own unique flavor. If you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine with bold flavors, Spice Bistro is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!“
