Great service and great overall overall vibe

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.

Yes!! Reminds me of my childhood. So many different options, including dishes I’ve never tried before! Awesomely authentic. 4 dishes plus a soup for $8 (real broth, not the fake yellow wonton soup you get everywhere else)! I’m so happy I found this through Google Maps. Definitely coming back again soon!

It wasn't too bad but not too good either. It seems like lots of Chinese restaurants cut back on using a lot of products they use to use that made the food taste really good. like sesame oil,and other spices.now they boil a their meats and just blend it with just one sauce and call it the day. 🫤The price not bad but not something I would eat regularly.😳 by the way I dint like the soup🫣

This place was a place that I visited as a child. Coming back though, it did not disappoint in food, service, and atmosphere. The dishes were amazing and felt really interactive while being surprisingly super hot, the staff was kind and understanding, and the murals and paintings in the menus and restaurants itself added a really nice touch to the place. Come here if you want an amazing time with cheap but delicious food. 10/10

Was dragged here by friends insisting that I must try what 'authentic' Chinese food tastes like. And it did not disappoint! A very homely and quaint shop around the corner in Chinatown. I got the Veg tofu rice noodles with tomato soup and it was absolutely delicious. The dish arrived boiling hot, and you're supposed to add your noodles and the side dishes to it and let them cook for bit before eating. I did burn my tongue throughout the experience but that did not stop me from scarfing my food down. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting chinatown.

Great little spot! I’ve only been for late night eats. It’s small but the food is good and plenty. I love that they are open late until 2am i believe. It’s not many places you can get full on authentic Chinese entrees that late at night. The portions are great size.

I got invited here so not sure on price. However I will say the food was great but when I went to use the bathroom I seen some things that make me not wanna come back here 😫 They had Karaoke which was fun. I think this place for sure needs some updating & a lil gem for what it is.

Got curious with this Restaurant so I decided to order via doordash. 左宗鸡 General Tso's Chicken - Some parts were not easy to chew. I had much better ones. It came with a side of rice. Soy 油鸡饭 Soy Sauce Chicken with Green Vegetable - this one my fave comparable to Sangkee. I love this one because tender, moist, juicy and has fat in the skin. Delish I am missing of the sauce on the side. This one is over rice. Huge portion of rice 烧鸭饭 Roasted Duck on Rice with Green Vegetable Q - the duck could have been better. The skin is not as crispy as I would like. Lack of flavor. Sangkee still has the best Roasted Duck. This one is over rice. Huge portion of rice I gave it a try but won't order here again. One and done

The shrimp dumplings was good and crunchy. The rice was Ard,very stiff and maybe microwaved, the wonton soup was ok. But that broth was popping. Most likely I won’t return.

This place has the best Peking duck in town! We ordered the whole duck, pan fried eggplant stuffed with shrimp, and snow pea leaves sautéed with garlic. Everything was delicious - the eggplant was caramelized in the best way possible and the peas leaves were yummy. The duck, however, was the centerpiece of the meal. It was juicy, and the skin was amazingly crispy. We wrapped the beautifully sliced meat with delicate pancakes, house sauce, and shredded scallions. It does take 40 minutes for them to prepare the duck. (This is normal for a place that specializes in Peking duck.) One thing I wish the restaurant would do better is the ambience. The place feels like a no-frills banquet hall with lights that are a little too bright. The duck that they serve deserves a slightly fancier atmosphere. That said, my family can’t wait to come back for the duck again. The dim sum menu also looks good so we’ll be back for that, too.

The service is great, the chef was cool. Food is worth it. We were there for the Peking duck. It's definitely a different taste experience. I highly recommend it. Had to get those feet and bean curds

Dim Sum Garden is a fantastic spot for a fresh, delicious and authentic meal! The atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming, making it a great place for the whole family to enjoy. We love the new place! Their soup dumplings are absolutely amazing—perfectly delicate with rich, flavorful broth inside. The chicken fried rice is packed with taste and cooked to perfection, and the chicken dumplings are a must-try, with a delicate outside and juicy, well-seasoned filling. Whether you’re a dim sum lover or trying it for the first time, Dim Sum Garden never disappoints! They also have a whole mocktail menu. We have been coming here for years and even though the building changed everything tastes the same! Highly recommend!

I've been coming here to dim sum garden for so long! But this was my first time at the new location The new location is very upscale and has a double four section Major upgrade from the last place still often with a line without the door though lol. Food here is amazing I recommend all the dumplings personally I like steam but they're good fried too they're dumpling sauces to die for scallop taking so great and of course they're sweet sour chicken not to mention all the noodle types this is definitely our top stop!

This is my happy place! If they had Dim Sum this would be my favorite place in the whole world. You can walk from place to place and mix up one of the most interesting meals ever. Japanese Hot Dogs, Halal, Korean Buns, Bhan mi, and much more. Not to forget great beer as well. I wish I could eat here every day.

I saw many live and suffering animals being sold for human consumption in markets in Chinatown. I don't like that e seeing made me feel bad and impotent facing the situation.

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.
