Picked up order from them today, the supreme chicken fish maw noodle. There are only 3 pieces of chicken breast as shown in the picture. If you want to try how it tastes. Don’t go to this one, it’s not even worth it! Other yuan noodles restaurant are much better and more ingredients.

I was around Chinatown by myself so I was looking for a sit down restaurant that was suitable for just one person that wasn’t fast food. I was intrigued by their supreme chicken soup （花胶鸡米粉）and walked in. For those who don’t know, 花胶, which is in their house special noodles, is fish maw. It’s essentially like fish gelatin, and is very delicious. I haven’t had it for years so it was nostalgic for me. It’s highly nutritious and I recommend it to anyone who hasn’t tried it. This restaurant offers a cash discount so bring cash if you can.

A rare full-service spot for a hearty Chinatown breakfast. For me, there’s something special about starting the day with a hearty Asian breakfast, and this spot is one of the few places in the city—let alone Chinatown—that offers a full-service experience. I like to come here once in a while, especially on holidays, and even as early as 8am, this place could get busy. Like many Chinatown staples, the menu here is extensive: huge selection of small plates, from dim sum and dumplings to rice rolls and more. Each visit, I try to get something new, and so far, the fried turnip cake and deep fried spareribs were my favorites. Other classics like the Xiao Long Bao and Duck Noodle Soup were solid and on par with the popular spots nearby. However, the bakery section has been a bit of a miss. While the egg tarts are great, the other pastries and cakes were subpar. The cakes have an unbalanced ratio of bread to cream, and the tarts sometimes taste like they’ve been sitting for a day or two. Nevertheless, Great Taste will always be one of my go-to spots in Chinatown. There’s something irreplaceable about a hearty Asian breakfast, and this place delivers that in spades.

A little bakery that if you go to the back and turn around the corner, a little hotspot for dimsum and Cantonese food. The daikon radish cake grilled was great (once they gave us the right sauce), congee was solid, but the ginger tripe and the chicken feet in a "black bean sauce" were bland, lacked any flavor. Seating is first-come, first-served, tight little tables, and they give you a menu while you wait so you can order and be ready when you sit down.

Lunch specials here are okay for the price. They are definitely more affordable than most for the amount you get. Definitely worth checking out for a quick lunch, just remember to bring cash.

Best value in Chinatown. Specially on their lunch specials. Both service and food were very good. Must order their House Roast Beef. It look more like a steak either their house sauce on top. Most tasty, tender steak I had for a long time. Even better than most steakhouses for only $24.95

HORRIBLE!! The place is nice & I think the employees are nice, but they were talking in different languages & I was getting a vibe that they were talking about us. The food was sooooooo bad & expensive! I got shrimp fried rice, sweet & sour shrimp & fried scallops & shrimp. The shrimp fried rice had so much egg & onion in it. The sweet & sour shrimp was so big & mushy. The sauce was good though. The salted scallops & shrimp wasn’t seasoned. Was mushy & didn’t come with the chili sauce that they advertised. The drinks are can soda, no refills. I also think they charged me $10 extra dollars for no reason. The whole place was definitely sketchy. I won’t be going back.

Came to this place for a dinner, I ordered sweet pork, and indeed, it was sweet a little bit too much for myself. The place looks old but clean, it has an atmosphere of an old china restaurant, the service isn't the best, the waitress barely speak English so it was difficult to ask for advice or about the food, however the portions are good and the close late, so for me isn't the best option, but if is late it might be your best option. Prices are average, so around 20us per person. Also you need yo take into consideration that there is no free parking available.

Went here for dinner with some friends. The food was delicious. It's small and cozy inside but worth the coziness for the delicious meals. The good was very reasonable and easy to get to. Parking wasn't easy for Philadelphia, but that's nothing new. The service was amazing as well. Will definitely be back.

Best hot and sour soup in Philadelphia. Had a wearwolf brunch here today. "I saw werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand, walking through the streets of Philly in the rain. He was looking for a place called Lee How Fooks for to get a big meal beef chow mein." They don't have beef chow mein, but the flounder and salt baked squid are awesome.

Overall, the food was average, but the Dan Dan noodles were a standout. The rest of the dishes were just okay. The environment was nothing special—pretty noisy due to the crowd. I recommend making a reservation in advance. Even on weekdays, it’s quite busy, and on weekends, expect to wait in line. Recommended Dishes: Dan Dan Noodles – Highly recommended! Fragrant, slightly spicy, and really appetizing. It had that authentic flavor that reminded me of home. Stir-Fried Pork Trotters – Served with green peppers and small chunks of pork trotter. It’s decent, but picking up the meat takes some chopstick skill. Spicy Boiled Beef – Quite disappointing. The beef had an odd lamb-like taste, and it was coated in a thick layer of seasoning, which overpowered the meat’s flavor. Surprisingly, the cabbage in the dish was more enjoyable than the beef.

The spicy home style tofu was delicious. The dried sticky rice cake with brown sugar dipping sauce was an absolutely life changing experience and I can’t stop thinking about that delicious doughy dessert! Very vegan friendly. I had no problems here. Great staff too. And quick service.

Delicious food and comfortable atmosphere. My girlfriend and I loved the visit here! Great place to experience Hunan style food. Wonderful flavors, great if you like spice. For vegetarians and vegans I can recommend the dry hot pot with fries.

Great friendly and efficient staff. Food came Out relatively fast. We had two kinds of soup dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, hot oil wontons, and shredded duck with pepper, scallion, and ginger. All were great.

DO NOT EAT HERE! FOOD quality is terrible and they are RACIST! We dined in just to have a family night in china town. Usually we go to David’s and don’t have a problem.. The food quality was so terrible that my stomach began to turn after the first few bites. The chicken tasted extremely old in my house lo mein and the water chestnuts were sour as if they were bad. My sister had ordered the shrimp and broccoli and her food was so cold that the host admitted and said “oops” and sent it back to reheat Our host (pictured below) gave me a very hard time when my friend sent their chicken and broccoli back. Our food was cold to warm in temperature and it had a stale old taste.. once he sent it back, the server said “I’m not taking it off the bill because we made it already” . My friend literally did not eat it at all. Just tasted the sauce. As we were ready to pay (even though the food was disgusting as well as the service) the host made a very prejudiced remark and said “make sure you tip me” we said “maybe next time” and he said “you people so cheap, you probably don’t tip anywhere” . I usually tip 20-25% wherever and had plenty of cash on me and still did not feel inclined to do so after such a terrible experience.. but the service was so terrible and after “telling” me to tip it felt so insulting that I did not do so.

The service is great and the food is fantastic! Highly recommend the Taiwan Rice Noodles Soup with Chicken and Shrimp! Also the Vegetable Rice Noodles are delicious. Love that they are open until 2:00 a.m. on weekends.

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.

Went for a bowl of soup and some crispy squid. On the plus side, the squid were good and the broth and noodles were nice. On the very negative side, they decided to give me what was predominantly a bowl of beef tendon soup (also on the menu) when I ordered the soup with beef brisket, sliced beef, meatball and pork sauce. I do not care for beef tendon and did not order beef tendon. I understand that sometimes there are bits of tendon in the sliced beef but that is not what happened here. When I pointed out that there was little beef, my waiter explained that they used tendon instead. I wasn't happy so he proposed a solution.... He gave me a plate so I could fish out what I didn't like. No replacement with the items I actually ordered. No adjustment to the bill. Nothing that indicated he cared in the slightest. See my photo of the "sliced beef and beef brisket" portion of my soup. At the end of my meal they gave me a receipt that indicated I could pay by card and be charged an extra 4%. Or if I paid the whole bill with cash they'd discount it 5%. I paid cash. They did NOT discount it and after giving me my (shorted) change the waiter would not pay attention or come over. Presumably he knew I'd been overcharged and didn't want to deal with it. In short - replaced the better meats in my dish with less expensive and unwanted beef tendon - was not willing to make it right - did not give me the discount that the receipt promised Would not return to this restaurant. This is the first time I've failed to tip, due to service issues, that I can ever recall.

Unassuming spot for good noodle soup. Smaller sized proportions but satisfying none the less. Got chili wontons, very tasty great flavor (needed a bit of salt), Good protein to noodle ratio. Great service.

We were in like after 9pm (9:05pm i think) before their 9:30 pm closing time. We were asking if they still accept dine in, the lady owner is nice and still welcomes us. I usually won't dine in when it is about any restaurant's closing time, but my friend and i were so hungry. Excellent food and the owner is very nice, thank you so much!

Best authentic Cantonese restaurant in town! The photos are the customized dishes we ordered for a family gathering. “House Empress Chicken” on the menu is the most popular and my favorite.

Just arrived in Boston and decided to take a walk through Chinatown, and just happened to stumble across this spot. It was located downstairs in an unassuming building and peeked my curiosity. When we entered, we knew immediately that we'd found dinner for the night. The food was amazing, and the staff was very friendly. Every table was full, but the service was fast and efficient.

Seafood boil for 2 was delicious, order a side of rice or something else.... Left a bit hungry...but the taste was terrific. Piping hot and super fresh.
