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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Strongly recommend the GuangDong style roasted duck. Presentation is good. The flavor is unbeatable. The portion is big. The roasted pork is also very good. I love the milk teas.

The restaurant is a hidden gem serving authentic Hong Kong style food. Everything we tried was just simply fresh and delicious. The staff were very friendly. Highly recommend.

Clean, comfortable, simple place located at the far north end of the very boring Dynasty Mall. I had the $8.00 combo for lunch, which is rice plus your choice of two veggies and two meats. Friendly fast service. The food is okay, but if you're coming to China Town for a culinary experience, this is not the place. Atmosphere is classic shopping mall. There are better options in much more interesting malls just a few hundred feet further down Bellaire Blvd.

This restaurant is one of the oldest established in Houston's Chinatown. Although many customers claim the flavor has changed throughout the years due to ownership changes, $8 for a four-item self-pick bento box is not bad. The Danzai noodles are also $8. The food and environment are fresh, and there are many choices if you come in early enough. The only problem is that the flavor is a little bland, in my opinion. I recommend this restaurant for people who want some Taiwanese style lunch.

Only Chinese customers here, that to us speaks as very good! We were looking for Chinese too early for Dim Sum. Freshly made buns & douhua ( Tofu flower salty) . Highly recommend the broth from the northern region.

Whenever I visit Houston Bellaire Blvd, I normally go to San Dong for pan-fried steam buns, but unfortunately, they ran out of them today, so I decided to try Lu Xiang Village instead. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of buns they had and how affordable they were. They offered three varieties of fried buns, and I got two of each at just $2.60 per bun. The buns were outstanding. Each bite had the perfect balance of crispy and chewy textures, with a generous amount of savory filling that really hit the spot. My favorite was the pork and cabbage, followed closely by the pork and onion. Both were packed with flavor, and the fillings were juicy and well-seasoned. The buns themselves were very filling—two were more than enough to satisfy my craving, making them a great value for the price. I also picked up 10 of their steamed pork buns for $6.50, which were equally satisfying. The steamed buns had a soft, pillowy texture and were stuffed with a hearty pork filling. While I loved everything I ordered, I do wish they had chili oil available for dipping, which would have elevated the flavors even more. Overall, Lu Xiang Village exceeded my expectations and is now on my list of go-to spots on Bellaire Blvd. If you’re craving delicious, well-made buns at a great price, I highly recommend giving them a try.

Tainan Bistro is hands down the best place for Taiwanese-style food in Houston! I’ve been coming here once a week, and it never disappoints. Their 3 Cup Chicken is absolutely phenomenal... perfectly cooked with incredible flavor. The dishes are always fresh, authentic, and satisfying. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is cozy. If you’re craving authentic Taiwanese cuisine, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

The food made me miss home. The chicken was so juicy, and the eggs were excellent. It was true Taiwanese-style food, and my girlfriend and I had a very satisfying lunch.

Is this the BEST Chinese restaurant in the world? No, but it's pretty darn good. From China King Express you can expect: 1. Juicy, flavorful chicken (grilled Teriyaki I thought was a gamble, but very impressed) 2. VERY good value for your money, other restaurants with same quality or less charge 30% more. 3. You can expect consistency here, I've ordered numerous times, and the amount, flavor, and customer service is the same. (Time of review dishes are $6 - $9 for Medium size)

Usually a good spot but not today. The food was very old and greasy. Egg rolls and rangoons were both old and burnt. Won't be going back.
