“Seated super quickly with a big group, wasn’t very busy. Got our food quickly, and it was delicious! All 7 of us loved our food. Pretty reasonable prices for large servings, definitely recommend the hand pulled noodles and scallion pancakes. Clean bathrooms! Make sure to have venmo or cash on hand.“
“La Chinesca exceeded expectations. Our server was so welcoming & she made the experience here. The fried wontons to start & the pork belly bao buns were delicious. We will be back when it gets warmer to take advantage of the full vibe of the restaurant & check out the downstairs bar. This place is a gem ?“
“I am surprised this place has only got about 350 reviews at time of writing.This place was very good for hotpot options. When you arrive, you get asked if you want the normal or premium option (you get to pick 2 premium options as a once off per person). We just went for the normal one and it was great!You order the hotpot meats via iPad (and even had option for Sashimi which was unexpected, but very nice!). Everything else you go up and get yourself, which I prefer as you can control how much you get.They also had a small selection of cold "salad" items such as chicken feet, cold sliced beef, wood ear and chilli. These options were delicious.Re drinks: The price includes all you can drink. They have a fridge with bottled drinks that you would expect to find in a Chinese supermarket, and you basically help yourself to as much as you want.There is also a small selection of deserts - I am always too full to eat these so cannot comment on it!Would love to go back here again in future.“
“I went for my birthday and the service was exceptional. My server was a pisces so she already earned some points just for that. Her food recommendations were right on point. She definitely knew her job! The atmosphere was really nice. I enjoyed myself.“
“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.“
“Fantastic selection of Chinese vegetarian dishes. Food tasted great. Services was good. Prices were reasonable compared to what other restaurants of similar standards have hiked up prices. One of the best crispy spring rolls one can enjoy. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: The restaurant serves only vegetarian dishes.Parking: Hard to find street parking“
“Love this place. Went here with my sister and love that they opened a spot in Chinatown. The location is great and love the interior. We first went to the location in southwest philadelphia, and ice cream and boba is definitely a YES. Tried the taro boba milk tea with taro ice cream in Chinatown and is truly my favorite now. They have other items on their menu, so if you love boba and ice cream I highly recommend going here.“
“My boyfriend brought me here last night. He had been here once before for a business meeting and thought I’d like it a lot! And I did! Everyone was super nice and the food was delicious! The servers ask everyone if they have an allergies or dietary restrictions. Neither of us have any, but I’ve never heard servers anywhere ask about that which I thought was very cool and thoughtful. We’ll be back!“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“Great beef noodle soup! Great depth of beefy flavor to the broth. You can tell the broth takes a long time to make. Although you can't see the brisket in the photo (my bad), they give you very large pieces that are tender and delicious. Great noodles too. A little pricey for soup, but it's really a meal. Super nice lady/owner server.“
“Food tastes fresh and great, it was ready to eat in 10 minutes after I called. The fried chicken wings were crunchy on the outside and soft tender meat in the inside. But the French fries were average. The home made hot sauce that I asked her to put on them was surprisingly good and not too spicy.“
“Our waitress Sarah truly made our night out extraordinary! Her fantastic recommendations and attention to detail transformed our dinner into an unforgettable experience. We're already planning our next visit, and you can bet we'll be asking for Sarah as our waitress again, along with the amazing Wagyu beef!“
“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 is our default restaurant to come whenever we come to Philadelphia.We enjoyed the fish fillets in spicy soup. Their other dishes were good and good size. The servers were friendly and attentive.We were here last at 7:30pm on a Saturday night and waited about 20 minutes to get seated. So plan your visit accordingly.Highly recommended.“
“First time here, the building was clean! Not much space but quaint and chill. I got the Chicken Potstickers and their Happy Hr Turmeric Chicken Wings, SCRUMPTIOUS!!!I enjoyed the service from the Startender and will most certainly be returning for a future Happy Hr :-)“
“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.“
“Great Chinese food. Everything on the menu was solid, but I’d definitely lean towards their “dry” menu options. The scallion pancakes and dumplings were tasty options for an appetizer.As far as ambiance: we loved the cool vibes the restaurant had to offer.My only thing I’d give a heads up on is the parking situation in the area. It is difficult to find parking and you’ll likely have to pay for a lot and walk, so plan to get here early.“
“We happened upon this restaurant when we were looking for dim sum. When we arrived we were greeted with a warm smile from the hostess and seated immediately. The food is prepared to order and comes out fresh and hot. They have by far, hands down, the best soup dumplings I've ever had. Paired with the fried rice, Mongolian Beef, Walnut Shrimp, and Scallion Pancakes we had a wonderful meal. We've come a few times since then and the food is consistently fantastic. I appreciate this from a restaurant. 10/10 would come everyday if I lived in the city.“
“Consistently high quality takeout Chinese. Pros: food is always hot and tastes good, delivery is SUPER fast, food is more than affordable. Cons: no online ordering (old school, pick up the phone), can’t see a current menu online, cash only. Pretty much the best I’ve found in this neighborhood.“
“Truly exquisite Chinese restaurant. There are always a lot of people waiting to get in because the food and service are truly excellent. I've been several times over the years and the thing I like the most is their steamed dumplings or dumplings as they call them here. But it's not just that, there's everything good here.“
“This place was very cute..The food was delicious..We are out of towers and we use yelp for everything..The reviews is what made us decide on this place. The Buffalo chicken pizza was bomb, and the ingredients were very fresh.Also for checking in thru yelp my husband and I received to free pesto garlic knots..Yummy yummy yummy is all I can say.“
“Wings are fried to perfection in a clean workspace (atleast it's cleaner than most establishment) Been watching imperial turn to Kensington and Allegheny. Haven't had a bad experience yet at the kitchen. Just my humble opinion which isn't worth much. Do your homework “
“You don’t go here for the atmosphere- you go for the food. It’s a small place, with five tables total that does an amazing amount of takeout business besides their dine in business. We had steamed pork dumplings which were good. We had the House Special Pan Fried Noodles and the Shrimp with Snow Peas and Mushrooms which were both excellent. Portions were generous and the service was good as well. We definitely plan to return.“
“Everything was great except for the music they were playing in the front area which had a lot of base which I don't find very appropriate for nice dining. Had the scallops and vegetables and it was wonderful. The staff were very friendly.“
“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'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.“
“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!“
“I order the sesame chicken lunch special takeout whenever I’m tired of my packed lunches and the quality/freshness of the food is always consistently great! It never takes longer than 10 minutes from the time I call it in, and the staff is very welcoming.“
“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.“
“Hunan Palace is take out only. That doesn't bother us at all. This was our first visit. The food here is much better than our former Chinese restaurant. We ordered a variety of items; springrolls, general tso chicken, beef and broccoli, bbq spare ribs, chicken on a stick, vegetable lo mein. We felt the springrolls could have used a little more flavor but that's just our opinion. Every other dish was excellent. Plenty of sauce on all the dishes. The spare ribs were tender and moist not dry or stringy as they can be from other restaurants. Their chicken on a stick is prepared differently than I had ever had it. It had a light coating on it. No dried out, leathery chicken here! We will definitely be making Hunan Palace our regular chinese restaurant.“
“Everything we ordered came out quickly and fresh to order. We ordered several plates to share, including scallion pancakes, dumplings, lo mein, tofu hot pot, and dan dan noodles. All the dishes were full of flavor. We were looking to grab something quick to eat, and this was better than we expected.Vegetarian options: Vegitarian dumplings, and and dish can be done with tofu as the protein.“
“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.“
“I try to visit as many restaurants as possible at least one time. This place had decent food service was okay atmosphere was okay definitely would come back again in the future. Keep up the good work God bless to all go eagles win the super bowl.“
“They wings are good my only problem I have with them is they never open when they suppose to be open it says 12 and they literally don’t open til 12:30 almost 1 my break at 12 so I be wanting to order at 12 they need to do better with the time they open“
“This was a pleasant surprise for really good, cheap, Chinese takeout.I had 0 expectations but the reviews said the food was good so decided to give it a try. The first picture posted is beef and broccoli which was amazing.I got the chance to go back and got general Tso's chicken. This place is the bomb. I wish I could understand anybody there but with the thick plate of glass in between us it just doesn't work. I don't care, go try this place. Every time I go back I'll post a new picture, lol. (Btw the beef and broccoli pic is better than the pic general tsos chicken but trust me, it's good)It's in a bad area, the windows have bullet holes in them. If you scared, go during the day. They only take cash. I posted a pic of the menu as well, it's old and idk what the new prices are but just add 1-2$ to whatever you order.“
“Best General Tso's chicken I haver ever had. And through the years I have had many different restaurants General Tso's chicken and by far, this was the best. All the takeout Chinese that I have been to, all give you two pieces of broccoli. I got at least 7-10 pieces of perfectly steamed broccoli. The chicken was cooked to perfection. My food was very fresh and delicious. The price was the cheapest, I ever paid for a large General tso's Chicken. I will come here again, and try other dishes.“
“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.“
“Barbuzzo you are absolutely exceptional, I had an incredible experience here yesterday. It's amazing and everyone who works here seems like they are really proud of it. The staff are always so pleasant. Every single thing that we have ordered was very fresh and delicious. I can't praise Barbuzzo enough.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“The best place for duck. I have out of state family who will always ask to eat here everytime they’re in town. My go-to dishes are: Peking duck, Sangkee seafood fried rice, beef chow fun, clams in black bean sauce. Food is always great and comes out fast. Waiters could be a little more friendlier.“
“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.“
“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“
“The food was amazing! My friend and I came around 7ish on a Sunday and had to put our names down. Not too much of a wait so we went next door and got tea. Once we were seated, our waiter was so helpful and explained everything to us since it was our first time there. The food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were amazing. The Year of the Rabbit so good, definitely recommend! I will definitely be back!“
