Hit up this bustling AYCE dim sum joint with a friend on a Sunday noon and wow, the energy was alive! The place was packed (good sign) and the vibe is that classic, no-frills, authentic Asian eatery feel--busy, a little chaotic, but totally charming if you're here for the food. They offer a legit variety of dim sum, and I'm telling you, their tripe and chicken feet are next-level authentic. If you're into those adventurous eats, the tripe was tender and richly seasoned, soaking up that classic soy and ginger punch. The chicken feet had that perfect gelatinous bite with a subtle hint of star anise and black bean sauce that true dim sum lovers crave. Also snagged the cute little piggy buns, soft, fluffy, and sweet with that savory pork filling that hits just right. The beef short rib was meaty and tender with a savory glaze that felt homemade and comforting. I was obsessed with the honeycomb cake for dessert. It was light, spongy, and sweet with a subtle caramelized note that balanced the savory feast. Bonus points for the egg tarts, which came from those warmers and were buttery, flaky, with that classic creamy custard that just melts in your mouth. Service is speedy but no-nonsense. You grab a tray and head to the back to pick your steamers, and as soon as you're done, they whisk them away. It feels like a little dance of efficiency behind the scenes even if it's a bit hectic. Heads up: you gotta take the full steamer, no sampling just a few pieces. It's definitely a rush to get folks in and out so the vibe isn't "hang out all day," but it works perfectly if you're craving quality dim sum without the fancy frills. Oh, and a tip, bring cash! Paying cash means you pay exactly what's on the sign, but they do accept credit cards with a slight upcharge if you forget. No biggie, but worth knowing. Overall, this place nails the authentic food part. It is somewhat messy and a little disorganized, but that's all part of the charm for a spot like this. The service isn't stellar, but honestly, I'm here for the eats, not the ambiance or white-glove treatment. Definitely coming back for that tripe, chicken feet, and honeycomb cake combo. If you want real-deal dim sum at a steal, this is your spot!

Not near the top of the list of dim sum places in Philly but still a decent choice if you're on a budget! Most stuff was lukewarm as I got there in the early afternoon and stuff was sitting out for a while. But it's nice to not have a whole plate of something and be able to try everything in smaller portions. They did come around with certain dishes when it was fresh out of the oven, like the dan tats. You get what you pay for but still pretty good.

Dim sum has gotten so expensive in recent years that something once enjoyed casually for family has become a luxury. I usually don't like buffets but I'm glad that this exists because you can enjoy all of your favorite dim sum foods with a reasonable price of $20. The dishes aren't rolled on carts like traditional dim sum establishments but are in grab and go stations. Food is still warm and workers are attentive. I will be back.

All-you-can-eat dim sum. Quality is decent but nothing particularly standout. The restaurant is relatively small, so come early--there's usually a line during peak hours. Worth trying once, but I probably wouldn't return.

They're offering an all you can eat dim sum special from 11 AM-4 PM for just $16.99 per person, plus $2 for tea. The food is a solid 3.5 out of 5, but the value is unbeatable, five stars for price alone. All you can eat dim sum is a rare find in the city and definitely worth checking out. The taro bun was my favorite.

Decent price for what you can get. As other reviewers have pointed out though, the food can be lukewarm at times and also not taste the freshest. The selections are pretty decent but flavor wise it is nothing special. Great value though, which is why I am giving it four stars. You get what you pay for, and some reviewers on Google and Yelp don't seem to understand this. Decently clean bathroom (no paper towels or anything though) and service was pretty good. Definitely bring cash to avoid the 3% credit card surcharge (if you did not know, Restaurants actually have to pay the 3% cashback from dining from most credit card lines).

Went here for the AYCE dim sum deal. It's $16.99/person but they intend to charge an additional $2/person for tea, even if you just want water (which never got refilled). I wish this $2 was included in the price if that's going to be the case. The food was okay but it is AYCE. The chicken feet and pastries/buns seemed to be a hit with my table. Definitely a no frills spot when it comes to dim sum. Unfortunately, we saw some unsanitary handling (using the same gloves to change the trash bag and continuing to touch plates and food). If you want to get an affordable meal, this could be a good spot but don't expect any type of service. I grew up eating dim sum and this spot has the worst service.

My family came on a Tuesday afternoon for the AYCE dim sum. The first thing we noticed was that the interior of the restaurant was quite warm and humid but otherwise, the place wasn't too busy and we were immediately seated. All the dim sum is somewhat self-serve in that there is no cart service and there is a designated area where all the dim sum is stored and a staff member will hand you what you want. If there is something they currently don't have, you can ask and they will make it for you. I was impressed with the quality and size of everything and it was definitely worth the $18.99/person. The youtiao in the zhaliang were a bit hard, which might be due to the lack of sauce, but I still enjoyed it. The egg tarts were large and nicely buttery and we also noticed that the siu mai were also quite large and filled with shrimp. Overall, I was impressed with Beijing Duck Seafood Restaurant and would definitely return and recommend to others!

New spot in Chinatown with an extensive menu for dinner and also a lunch time dim sum 7 days a week. Beautiful interior with nice tables to enjoy a meal, and they also have private rooms upstairs for dinner / karaoke. Dinner menu noodles was a huge portion, with lots of good quality meat and veggies. Dumplings are also very big here, pan fried nicely. Dim sum has dozens of options and everything was great quality. Baskets come out quick after you order. Very good. Thanks

Beijing is my hometown, so I'm admittedly picky about Peking duck, both in China and abroad. Beijing Duck Seafood Restaurant absolutely hit the mark. The duck was rich, juicy, and genuinely authentic--very different from the Cantonese-style roast duck often mistaken for Peking duck. We'll definitely be bringing friends back. We also enjoyed the eggplant with shrimp. The mapo tofu, in my view, could use more heat. Overall, a very good experience. It's not the cheapest option, but for proper Peking duck, it's well worth the price.

Had Dim Sum here and forgot to take pictures. I was with friends old and new. I like the slight alternatives on various dim sum and it was buffet style. Don't leave waste unless you want to pay extra though. The servers explained what the items were which was really nice. They do take cc here unlike what I was told over the phone but a reasonable 3% charge. They only take reservations for evening hours after dim sum ends at 3 PM but duck should be reserved at any time of day beforehand. They did not tell me this over the phone either even though I had mentioned this. When I was asking a staffer on site about how the bill could be split, the staffer, I am guessing the manager, seemed concerned that I could not pay and even seemed to imply laughing at me a bit. I did not like that feeling- especially since my family was there 6 days later. A small complaint but I would certainly come again.

Duck

Came for dim sum and the duck! Next time, I'll skip the duck. For $105, you get table side cutting service and a gong, and some very crispy duck with homemade crepe/pancakes for wrapping, but unless you are a Peking duck purist, it doesn't feel as satisfying to me as some of the cheaper ducks around town. The dim sum was tasty, fresh, and reasonably priced, though! They also have live seafood tanks in the back, so next time I come, I'll probably try the seafood and more of the dim sum. Restaurant is new and clean and the service was fast, but make sure you double check the check--we marked the paper menu with which dim sum items we wanted and they missed a few things, so we sat waiting for a while, thinking they were still coming!

4.5 stars rounded up…read more Though I had but a small sampling of Nom Wah's extensive dim sum offerings, I liked what I tasted: -- Stuffed Peppers ($5.95): loved the textural contrast of crispy pepper & springy shrimp paste; a shallow pool of savory brown sauce served as the base. -- Pan-Fried Chicken & Cabbage Dumplings ($5.50): crisp wrapping encase a substantial & juicy filling. -- Shrimp Rice Rolls ($5.95): wasn't the best version I've ever consumed, but I appreciated the delicate noodle wrapper. I do prefer the shrimp to be more plump & flavorful, & my favorite ones tend to have sauces other than soy to drizzle on. My trio of items were a steal at barely $20. Nom Wah is an excellent pick for quality dim sum at rock-bottom prices. I arrived early to a mostly-empty restaurant which allowed their staff to be extra attentive. The waiter described what sauces & dishes he was placing on my table, & the waitress offered to fill my water bottle before I left, as it was a 90° day. A lovely first impression!

The sticky rice in leaf had a good consistency although small with minimal ingredients. The shrimp dumplings are a staple but maybe too much flour which made the outer layer too doughy and chewy. The pork dumplings are good although smaller and tasted more like the frozen variety. Service was slow although there was only one waitress for the several tables. She did fill my water but I had to ask. And seemed to be somewhat frugal when I asked for extra napkins and only received ONE?!? She did come back later and gave me one additional napkin without being prompted. The biggest advantage for this place is it offered shrimp rolls but there are many other options available nearby.

So I am visiting from out of town, and I'm staying nearby. When I was preparing to come on this…read moretrip, I checked things out beforehand because I knew that I would be eating out. This place immediately came to mind after I read the reviews, and I ordered takeout tonight. I am very pleased to say that this was an amazing experience! I opted to do fairly simple dim sum, mainly because a restaurant that has "dim sum" in its name should shine in this category. I was able to place my order online, and had the scallion pancake, the pork, soup, dumplings, the chicken and shiitake dumplings, and the shrimp shu mai. The order was prepared, extremely fast, but very attentively. The packaging was thoughtful and protective, without being wasteful. They included a small container of delicious black vinegar/soy for dipping, and some chopsticks. All of the dishes were fantastic! My favorite was probably the shrimp dumplings, and I was happy that it was two for one night. Everything tasted very fresh and well-made. The seasoning was spot on, without being overly salty. My only regret was that after going to pick these up, I noted that the inside of the establishment appeared to be quite quaint and comfortable, and would definitely recommend that people check this place out for dine in options. The staff were very friendly, and made the pick up experience a positive one. So, if you're in the area and really want to have some dim sum, I would definitely recommend this place. I will most definitely be back in the future!!
