I want to split this review into 2 areas. The first concerns the atmosphere, drinks, and food. The restaurant was nicely decorated and inviting, with relaxing vibes and an upscale atmosphere. Drinks, while pricey, were good and they did have a mocktail available. And finally the food overall was great - the shrimp dry pot was particularly excellent, with our general tsaos chicken also being a standout. We would have appreciated crisper tofu and more rice, but those were minor issues. The second half of the review needs to address service and overall speed. On this Saturday evening at 7pm, I think there was only one waiter on staff. He did a great job, but food took a long time to arrive, ordering was difficult, and the time to get our check and pay was frankly ridiculous. A table nearby had similar issues. If the service had been on the level of food, this review would have been 5/5. Unfortunately - it was not.

Authenticity is not so important due to the natural adaptation to new environment. Are they still Good Chinese food? YES. We enjoyed all of our dishes. The place is clean with tasteful decor. The chef is from Chengdu成都,China. Due to pandemic, this restaurant is only opened 2 weeks ago, so it's still very new. Ling, our server is super friendly and helpful. Is this place worth going? YES! Go give it a try. For sure we will be back when we visit Philadelphia next time. Hope the restaurant can keep up the standard and get even better. Good Luck!

This place was good, seated fast on a Saturday night which was nice. Big vegetarian section on menu. Everything was good and really satisfying to eat, better than your local take out Chinese but not fancy, just perfect mix for food before going out for drinks in the area. Great vibe and cute seating up the stairs and cute window booths over looking the street.

Very authentic Chinese food. They just hired a new chef and he takes the restaurant to the next level lol. We ordered crispy pork with sweet and sour sauce, sauerkraut, and general Tao’s chicken. I have to say it is the best Chinese restaurant I have had for years in Philly!
