    Best dumplings ever!!

    I mostly go for their dumplings and hong kong wonton soup which are out of this world. Everytime i have strayed to another dish it was great as well.

    Service

    Been going here for 15yrs & I will never go back. Quality of food was poor & the service is obnoxious. Party of 4. We ordered apps. & Entries. They brought out all the food at once. We asked them to keep the Entries warm & they said they couldn't. I ordered salt and pepper shrimp and got Tempura shrimp. My wife told them to take her's back. Will find a new place.

    Poorest Chinese I've ever eaten.

    This place's food is way worse than your standard Chinese/American restaurant's. Everything we ordered was subpar: the General Tso's Chicken (which I consider to be the old standard for Chinese cuisine in the US) is unspeakably poor, the fried dumplings too, the egg rolls are soft and bland, the 'pan fried' noodles are simply uncooked and are only edible if you douse the bland sauce that they come with in tons of soy, and everything else I had a bite of seemed less-than-mediocre at best. I can understand that one might go here after 2 am, and I admire that it is open so late and sells beer, booze, and cigarettes, but I really can't understand why anyone would make this their go-to Chinese restaurant in Philadelphia.

    Not recommended

    The service was poor! I went here at 12:30 on my lunch break and was ignored! My food took 30 minutes and was cold and drenched in soy sauce.

    great food not service

    This is a great place to go to for food late at night. I love the food, but I hate their service. Some of the waiters give you attitude when you order. Each and everytime I go there, their service stinks. I've also heard this from a lot of my friends, that they don't feel respected whenever they go. I still go from time to time, but not as much anymore because of their service. They are so lucky that the food makes up for their behavior.

    flavorless, low quality

    The pork dumplings are almost totally devoid of flavor, wrapped in a gummy, doughy skin. They could have been saved by the dipping sauce, except that sauce was little more than a mince of ginger swimming in oil. The satay squid was even worse--overcooked, dull, and drowning in a greasy brown sauce with no depth or character. The food's not disgusting, it's just carelessly prepared and kind of tame. The dudes even managed to screw up steamed white rice. It was undercooked. White rice!!! Not recommended. There are far better options in Chinatown and beyond.
