    Birthday Dinerrrrr with friends! The vibe at Asian Palace is so tranquil and welcoming with fairly upscale decor and soft lighting. The service is quick and efficient. The food was good, super fresh seafood boil but flavor a bit bland. I've been a few times and this place is very consistent. Definitely recommended!

    Came on Mother's Day for a quick bite with a friend. I've passed by hundreds of times but never popped in. When you first walk in the smell is a little off putting. It's a mixture of cleaning supplies but with a dirty mop. The place however is huge and beautiful. They have space for private parties. Flowers, waterfalls and a swing indoors. The place was empty besides a family of 10. Another family of 8 came when we were close to leaving. It was only two people in my party. The food was meh and the service mediocre. Had I checked the reviews we would've skipped here. Both glasses on the table were filthy and we had to flag our waiter down to get new ones. My glass had a lip print on it like they just flipped the dirty glass over after the previous party left. They have a menu full of non alcoholic drinks but the only thing available was 12oz can sodas for $3.99. I don't drink soda. They didn't have bottle water. No alcohol. Thankfully the tap water was good. The server had no clue about the menu items. Every time we ordered something he requested we point to it on the menu. I wasn't really interested in any entree and decided to order a couple of sides. I got the pork dumplings, crispy shrimp dumplings and scallion pancakes. The pork dumplings were good in terms of flavor. However I requested them pan seared and it was like the steamed them and only pan seared one side. The side they pan seared wasn't seared as well as it should've been. You get 4 pieces for 8.95. I've received more, better executed dumplings for cheaper at other places. The crispy shrimp dumplings were horrible. They use wonton wrappers and they put one baby shrimp inside and deep fried it. I crumbled the entire wonton in my hand and it turned to dust. The only flavor was oil and fried wonton. The sweet chili sauce they served it with was okay. I was really upset with what was served. But I didn't want to make a big fuss as we were the only black people in the place. Never received anything like that in any dim sum, sushi or Asian restaurant I've frequented. The pickled daikon served with it was delicious. The scallion pancakes was another huge disappointment. It's like they used phyllo dough which is too thin and flaky. It was also super oily and greasy. They served it with some kind of curry sauce. The curry sauce was good. But way to heavy for the pancake. I also never received that sauce with scallion pancakes before. It's usually a soy based sauce. Another thing I could crumble in my hand. Every other scallion pancake I've had, has been more of a thick crepe consistency. I only ate a few pieces. My date got the kung pao chicken. His dish was tasty. You got hints of garlic and ginger the cashews added a nice crunch. Though the cashew to chicken ratio was off. The chicken was cut into small chucks and it was more cashews then chicken. They also served it with a cup of rice although the entree portion was enough for two people and rice is pennies so why so skimpy. Towards then end another server came he was friendlier. The other two families dining were Asian and there food smelled and looked delicious. It was also nothing like what we were served. So I guess I just didn't know what to order. Either way I won't be back. I've had better food from a Chinese restaurant.

    Mixed feelings about this place - in many ways, the space and decor seems like an ideal place for hosting large events, especially if you want a festive Chinese feel to it. On the other hand, I think their pricing seems questionable, and I felt rather duped during my dining experience here. For starters, their food is meh. But what was worse is that for the dinner event being hosted at the Asian Palace, the meal was advertised as an 8-course meal (you think wow!) and then you find out it's really more like 4 large dishes that they bring out one at a time (what in the world). They included cut up oranges as part of their 8 courses for "dessert" (um, excuse me?). One of the "courses" was rice, and another "course" was rice crackers (o.o). Many of us at the table were definitely still hungry by the end of the meal. Oh another funny part of the story, dumplings were supposed to be served as part of the "course menu" and somehow it just got skipped. At the end of the meal, when our table asked why we had never got dumplings, they said sorry there isn't any left (I think maybe two or three other tables had gotten dumplings earlier on). We were not happy as we were still hungry, and then all of a sudden the server was like, "actually wait, let me check" and goes back to the kitchen. Literally 2 minutes later, they come out with multiple plates and plates of hot steaming dumplings for the different tables. Were they just lying to us before? Clearly they had cooked and ready but was just going to bypass it for some unbeknownst reason. I personally had a great evening with friends, as the dinner event was hosted through a school program, but the cost + food + service left much wanting in my opinion.

    I pay for my son graduation family dinner for two tables it cost $358 per table and I brought cookies also 3 bottles One litter soda they charge me for $20 extra for the soda , they say their rule of their restaurant. All my family say they never and ever go there again. It's insane...! Party or family dinner should included soda because it's $358 dollars per table. Most Chinatown they do most of restaurants,but we want to try the foods there. The manager gave us two glass of ice that they charge us. 20 people two glass of ice and all other my kids they have to drink hot soda. On Sunday Father's Day June 16,2019 also they should give it to us free of charge because we didn't know their rule should give us warnings its okay too. I just want to let the the owner knows We don't get poor or rich in $20 dollars,but it's just disappointed our family. My first time there and I wanted to do my oldest son for temple graduation big party upstairs. Now no thank you . We consider go to Ocean City restaurant at Chinatown better then you. The place is huge upstairs we try dim sums and dinner couple times at Ocean City Rest. The food is good the owner and the servers are great friendly most importantly they come to talk to you or ask you what else do need . Corkage fee for Alcohol not soda 1 litter of 3 bottles 20 people that we have for two tables that I bought with me. Thanks anyway and no thanks you never seen us again. The manager are rude too. The prices are too high also Nice place - bad services - bad attitude- bull shit service I ever seen in my life . They charge nickels and dimes in that restaurant Good luck with your business and I hope you don't close the door soon. 1 star luckily no zero stars for me. I'm the father of my son graduation party and Father's Day too. Disappointed Look at my 2 tables nobody drink wine or alcohol My kids drink hot soda because they don't give us glass of ice. Does the owner knows what is Corkage meaning. They should google before they charge the customers. Never ever do any party or special events in Asian Palace . Not or never recommend this place to anybody ...! Pieces shit ...!

    Beautiful backdrop provided by restaurant, we added the balloons!

    Asian Palace helped my mom plan an amazing 50th bday bash! Phuong, the owner, was a great help throughout the entire process and the party was a huge success! The food has been consistently delicious (as remarked by my Vietnamese family as well), and we are so happy we chose this as our venue to celebrate my mom's special day. The venue is the most elegant and clean in comparison to the other Asian places I've been to in the Philly area, and the service by our three waiters was astounding. Any time a request was made, the waiter came back in less than 3 minutes and was friendly throughout the entire night. 3 waiters for 80 guests and extremely efficient.. that is impressive! Thank you Asian Palace, we will be back!!

    First and foremost, this place is beautiful. Love love love the atmosphere! The boss lady is very nice and welcoming. Finally shaking crab in South Philly. Flavor was good. It wasn't the best I had but I can say I don't mind returning for more. Pineapple ribs was really good. Flavoring was just right. Not too sweet and not too sour. The consistency of the sauce was perfect as well. Definitely will order that again. Salt and pepper silver fish, it was ok. I believe just a little more salt and pepper and it would be more tasty. Fried spring roll was probably the least favorite or our order. I really didn't like it. The cabbage over powered all the flavor. Didn't like the Baby shrimp that was in it. There was barely no flavor but the cabbage. Overall, I wouldn't mind returning again.

    Beautiful atmosphere. Bathrooms beautiful and clean. Always a determining factor w/me. If the bathrooms are clean i can feel comfortable eating there because that shows they're conscious of cleanliness. Food Amazing!! My husband and I ordered General Tsao Shrimp. The sauce very good. Jumbo Shrimp lightly beaded. My sister order Singapore Noodles (ordering next time) Service- fast, Very Friendly. I didnt like the jasmine tea so much but did like the green tea.

    Came here last night with a group of 9 people total. This was my second visit. My first visit was about 3 weeks ago for my cousin birthday and the food tasted fine so decide to come here with my friends last night for dinner. Here's my overall experience based on last night's visit only. The food was very pricey and the portion was very small "individual serving" as we were told by the owner. I understand we have a large party but it's pretty bad when you have to cut a piece of squid or shrimp in 1/2 just so everyone can have a taste of the dish. We have to keep asking for water refill service definitely need some improvement. We ordered 9 dishes but everyone left hungry, we all ended up going to Chinatown for round 2. We had to picked up buns from the bakery and wings from David's to fill us up.

    This place is consider new in town. The location is great with parking lots so u dont have to worry bout paying parking fee like in chinatown. The place is beautiful and it really great for party. I tried to have dinner with my husband and toddler son. It was Saturday night, but only me and another guess. I saw only 2 waitresses. The service was okay, I just dont agree that u clean the table while we're still sitting there. The menus are similar like u get in chinatown. We ordered dumplings, seafood and spinach soup, sweet and sour fish, crispy spicy beef. It tasted okay. Not so fabulous, but decent enough. I paid for 58 dolars. The price is higher than David's, but i like David's more. U can try to eat here if u need a beautiful place to eat. Or if u are too lazy to go to chinatown.

    Nice dining area

    Good service. Complimentary crackers. Lunch special comes with rice and spring roll. It is OK. My shrimp dumplings are pretty good. I will give this place another try

In general, it is an incredible space for the community to get together and/or enjoy works for local artists across the floors of the building.

    I visited the BOK Building this past Saturday when we were visiting Philly, and it was everything I…read morewas expecting! So what is it? The BOK Building is a former vocational high school. It closed in 2013, and the city put the building up for auction. Most of the time, developers will tear a building like this down, to build something that has no history, no character, and looks like every other new multi-use build. But every once in a while a developer does something special. And the developer who bought the BOK Building did just that. The design firm that won the contract to renovate the BOK had incredible vision - to maintain the integrity and history of the structure while updating it for new and modern uses. So the outside still looks like a historic high school (it was built in 1936). And the inside does, too! They kept so many touches that make it clear that it was a high school. (It's hard to explain; you'll understand when you see it for yourself!) So the space is amazing. But it's also home to some amazing shops and businesses (plant, ceramic, bike stores and more), cafes (a coffeeshop, a bakery), a restaurant (Irwin's), and a rooftop bar! Like many other places/neighborhoods in Philly, parking in the area around the BOK Building can be tough. And not every entrance to the building is a public entrance (their website has information about the entrances and signs outside were helpful, but it is a little bit confusing). The building is really cool; I really respect their approach to the space, its architecture and its history. Visit, explore, eat, drink, and shop!

The fair was only 4 hours and in my talks with them, someone mentioned they were only accepting 700 resumes that day so I imagine they were expecting alot of different people to come whether they drove or not throughout the day.

The Down Town Club is located inside a very large building in Old City and takes up at least one floor. Once you're out of the elevator you are greeted by a giant glass table and a centerpiece. For the wedding, this table was used to hold the place cards, which informed you of the the table you would be seating at. Behind that table is a large hall with a few tables, a bar and some counters, which can be used to plate food and serve horderves. I suppose it could also be used as a simple waiting area. There is also a piano located i that area, which can be used to play some live music. The horderves, which were served were top notch. Some of my favorites included the lamb chops, lobster, shrimp and ravioli. I also loved how they had a full sushi bar along with some other traditional Japanese options including ahi tuna. The dinner and dessert was great as well. The dressing on the salad was very tasty and the filet minion was perfectly done. The dessert options here were out of the world. Mini-cupcakes, cannolis, funnel cake and more were all provided and they were all very delicious. The view of Independence Hall is absolutely spectacular as well. The Ball Room wasn't giant, but it easily held over 200 people without as if the room was, too crowded. The ball room was also quickly transformed from hosting the wedding ceremony towards become a place to hold a fun party. While I didn't use it, valet parking was available, which was a nice touch. Altogether, the Down Town Club is a very nice space to hold a variety of events including weddings!
