Yi Pin Restaurant

Yi Pin Restaurant in Chinatown, Philadelphia, is a hidden gem that has quickly become one of my favorite dining spots. Their late hours make it a perfect choice for a delicious meal after a long day or a night out. The pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the quality and freshness of the food. The shrimp fried rice was absolutely delicious, with perfectly cooked shrimp and flavorful rice that had just the right amount of seasoning. The shrimp dumplings, which were truly popping with flavor, were a standout dish that I will definitely be ordering again. The atmosphere at Yi Pin is both relaxing and inviting, making it an ideal place to unwind with friends or enjoy a quiet meal alone. The host and staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience with their warm hospitality. Whether you're a local or just visiting Philadelphia, Yi Pin Restaurant is a must-visit for fresh, tasty food and a delightful dining experience.

This restaurant was PLEASANTLY SURPRISING. It was a quaint off the grid kind of place that serves authentic Asian dishes. It was not busy but I believe they should be because the food and service was AWSOME! We had 3 different people serves us & they were all gracious, kind & knowledgeable. We started off with the famous imported Korean wine, Soju (Leechy flavored) 12% proof. The waitress was kind enough to explain the taste & how people traditionally mix it with a carbonated beverage. It was VERY mild in taste but it was warming to the body & will sneak up on you if you’re not careful. For appetizers we went with the scallion pancakes, pan fried shrimp dumplings & pork soup dumplings. I cheated on my vegan diet last night and it was definitely worth it! Now that I’m back to my regimen I’m definitely going to try to figure out how to add scallion pancakes to my rotation of recipes. It was my first time having soup dumplings & it was the cutest tastiest way to have a shot of soup. Reminds me a reverse wonton soup because the soup is INSIDE the dumpling! The shrimp dumpling were not bad but weren’t the star of the show. My husband had the pork belly & I was definitely reaching for some over on his side of the table. We could taste notes of cardamom in the dish which was very nice unique flavor. The dish came with rice and it did have tofu pieces in it which was surprising as well because they kind of tasted like the pork’s consistency. I ordered the spared ribs & YES! Get it it was tender flavor packed and worth it! Also came with a side of rice & a really cool burner to keep them warm while you’re finishing off the rest of your appetizers. All & all we’ll be back because being from NY and moving to Philly we are noticing Philly likes to sleep so restaurants close early. Yi Pin is open late and the food is GREAT 👌🏾 Thank you for a wonderful evening immersed in Asian culture from the decor the music the drinks and the food.

A+ Food A+ Customer Service A+ Setting This was my wife and I first time here and the food was awesome! The Pork Fried Rice was honestly the best Fried Rice I've ever had. The texture of the pork was ok. I also had this watermelon drink that was really good as well. The atmosphere was really great as well.

My husband was looking for authentic Chinese food, and felt this place was as close as he could get. The food was amazing! We had lamb, eggplant, shrimp, and pork belly. The pork belly and shrimp were my favorite. My husband loved the lamb. This will definitely be a place in our going out rotation!

we went around 12:30 am and the atmosphere was still lively. The food was better than I expected...dumplings with chili oil and dandan noodles we're amazing Instead of main dishes appetizers were better..dry pot dish was OK but all appetizers were soo good
