Having traveled to Hong Kong and Mainland China I can say that the food here mimics the flavors and sparks inexhaustible memories from many meals shared with colleagues and friends. Go for Sunday dim sum brunch if you want to really get an authentic experience. My personal favorites : turnip cake, meatballs, soup dumplings and the taro dumpling. The waitresses are friendly and funny and more than willing to help you understand the endless options available. For 2 of us the bill was 60 bucks and we had 7 different dishes and fried rice. GO HERE! You won’t be sorry .

I've been coming to this place for years. This time I came on a Sunday first time I saw this place not that full. Service was pretty bad. Had to ask for water for the table at least six or seven times, from servers and even from another person who was the manager. Some of the regular dim sums were ok, not as good as I remember. The soup dumplings were pretty bad and staluck to the spoons. The dough was thick and pasty. The stuffing for lot of the dumplings was all mushi. The chicken feet and the short rib were good. The Chinese broccoli was good. The pork Schumai was nice, other than that it felt pretty meh. Hopefully was the one-time thing maybe I'll try them again we will see. But the next time I have a craving I'll probably try one of the other places either in Chinatown or on Washington avenue.

I recently visited and tried a variety of dishes, and overall, it was a pretty good experience. The noodles were excellent—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The soup was a little milder than I had hoped for in terms of spice - I had to add some chili oil to give it the kick I was craving. The shrimp was delicious, although I found it a bit odd that it wasn’t peeled, especially since it was coated. Unfortunately, it affected my overall eating experience. As for the steamed pork dumplings, I wasn’t a fan of the filling—it just didn’t quite suit my taste. The sauce accompanying the dumplings was delicious though - ask for more! Service was excellent, and the staff were attentive and friendly. The price was reasonable for the quality and quantity of food.

quaint little spot with some of the best noodles in the city! Ive been coming here for yeeears and they're so consistent and delicious! they nail the Szechuan flavor. the hand pulled noodles are superior!

This genuinely might be one of my new favorite places to eat, not only in Chinatown but in Philly. My mother and I came here this past Saturday for lunch and we both agreed that every single dish we ordered was FANTASTIC. It was one of the best meals I’ve had. I’ve always wanted to try a hand drawn noodle house and I am so glad this place was my first impression of one!! We shared a scallion pancake and vegetable dumplings as appetizers. SO GOOD. My mother got the Szechuan Cold Noodles as her main and I got the Beef Brisket Noodle Soup. AMAZING. The portions are quite generous and the prices are so reasonable. Can’t wait to come back!!

First off this place is cash only. Do not even think of going there without cash. If it is busy, they will see you with other groups at the same table. This is just because it’s a very busy spot, especially during busy times. With those two things in mind, I always know the food is going to be great and I have been here twice in a week to eat. Both times it was the same. It was excellent. The service was excellent and the food absolutely tasted exactly the same as before. Raised beef noodle soup is a great choice as is the saliva chicken And scallion pancake. Next time I’ll try the shaved noodle, but the hand-drawn noodle is absolutely stellar with great chew and lots of bounce and not overcooked.

I wouldn’t say this was the best dim sum I’ve ever had but it was good. Pricing on everything was also reasonable. Every staff member we encountered were very nice and service was very quick. One thing I will note is that they have a decent amount of vegetarian options which can be hard to find at dim sum restaurants. Everything did have flavor (the noodles were a little bland but great quantity). If I had to choose my favorite, it probably would be the shrimp and chive dumpling. My least favorite was the fried shrimp ball. It had a spongy consistency that was strange to me but again, it still was flavorful. They have a really yummy dumpling sauce and the chili oil that sits on the table was delicious as well.

Food was very delicious and flavorful, my only thing is that salt and pepper shrimp should be peeled before battered/fried to get all the flavor from seasoning. I know some people like to eat the shell, but I think people should be given a choice between shell and shell-less. Everything was good and the servers were nice, although short in service.

10,000 years to Dim Sum & Noodle! Most superlative service! Outstanding authentic cuisine! Modestly priced menu! Family friendly atmosphere! As an American who has lived in China extensively for many years, I am proud to endorse and recommend the amazing cuisine and even kinder staff here at Dim Sum & Noodle. I have been a regular at this fine establishment since they open doors back in 2016. What was simply a quick fix of authentic Chinese food has now become a weekly tradition for me and my family. This authentic eatery is most accommodating and patient to children guests which only makes this culinary experience all the sweeter. Top marks and continued success to Fairmount premier Chinese restaurant!

Great food and great service. The scallion pancakes are perfect and the grilled short rib lunch special is a steal. I got egg fried rice and wonton soup with mine. I will be back for dim sum next time.

The rice was delicious, had alot of pork in it the general toas chicken Was good too but , the only downside for this place was that, the fact the platter itself was 12$ which doesn't include an egg roll, being in that area that's pricy. platters usually are only 950-11 max .. plus I think there should of been a bit more chicken then was given especially to accommodate with these center city prices in the hood ,

Highly over priced on everything now. No heat in customer area in fact there's no heat in the store at all. Service people wear coats all the time. People can be seen shivering while waiting for food. Avoid if at all possible! There are getting complaints from customers all the time now. Volume of customers are shinking daily.....

Best halal Chinese take out in Philadelphia. They do have seating of four for 2 groups. They are also very clean and nice. Even the bathroom and the kitchen is clean. The best part is their food actually taste good and they have a good deal on the lunch special.

This is a takeout only Chinese restaurant. You can also order on delivery apps to have a delivery straight to your door. I recommend this Chinese store to anyone. Of course the location is in North Philly but the food and service is great. The owners talk to you. The customer service is exceptional. Don’t take my word for it. Just go there today.

November 2020. Craving Chinese take out. Called in advance. Picked up in 15mins. Cash only. $12.40 for Pork Lo Mein and General Two’s chicken. Both small orders. Food is hot and tasty and will last me two days.

I don’t know why Ho’s doesn’t have 5stars! They are a mom and pop owned and operated Chinese food restaurant. Everything on their order is cooked fresh and it is very tasty. I ordered boneless spare ribs and sesame chicken! Both were amazing!!!! 10/10 will be back again, and would recommend to a friend. Fairly priced, fresh, delicious and tasty.

Visited my cousin in downtown Philly and my bf was craving Chinese food so we ordered from here. Seamless was quick with the delivery, my cousin enjoyed his sesame tofu and my bf enjoyed his sushi. The shrimp fried rice that I ordered was NASTY, no egg or veggies in it at all. It was basically grease rice with some shrimp. Would not recommend it unless you’re starving.

Drunken noodles are in a basil tomato sauce, the dumplings are flavorless, it’s just not good. Super disappointing

I’ve only gotten takeout sushi from this place, so I can’t provide much insight on other menu items. However, I’ve never had a bad meal from this restaurant, especially the tuna avocado roll, salmon avocado roll, and shrimp tempura roll, which are my go-to’s.

Ordered via Uber Eats. Everything came warm and delicious. Ordered the scallion pancakes, house special tofu soup & 3 rolls: salmon, tuna, and Philly. Everything was delicious.

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.

We came here on a recommendation from social media. I really enjoyed the food. We had the duck for two, coconut shrimp with mango sauce, and a spicy beef dish. This was more than enough food for the three of us that went out, and there was enough for two lunches the follow day. My Chinese husband thought it was good, but did not taste as authentic as it could be. I did feel like it was similar to take out food rather than dine in Peking duck I’ve had before. I was not a fan of the thin pancakes that came with the duck as I felt like they tasted more like a wrap. I like more of a fluffy bun like pancakes. The duck was juicy and flavorful. Service was great, and we will overall be back!

Came for lunch and the wait was very short! We put our names on the Yelp waitlist w/ their iPad. We ordered: • Peking duck w/ buns (choice of pancake or buns) ($52) • beef chow fun ($16) • sautéed snow pea leaves ($16) The Peking duck was delicious, the skin was so crispy and everything about it was just perfect. I also really liked the beef chow fun. Their plates are perfect for sharing. The vegetables were quite good too, just a little too salty for my taste. I would absolutely come back if I were in the area again. Service was unremarkable. They gave us what we needed but it was nothing above and beyond, which is OK. They have call buttons on the tables and came almost instantly when they were alerted!
