This is my go to spot for sit down Chinese! Their food is made with care and the service is…read moreamazing, honestly the nicest owners. The food is delicious and unbeatable when paired with their chili oil and dumpling sauce. You can really taste the love in their handmade dumpling, roast pork buns have lots of filling and not too sweet compared to other places. I usually order 4 smalls things and one entree and share. I will say that their main dishes i.e. the general tso's and sesame chicken aren't my favorites, they are cooked really well and portion size was great, but their sauce is slightly too sweet for me. But ANYTHING dipped in their chili oil/dumpling sauce makes it soooo good. So I still order one of the entrees every time lol I will say I pass on their milk bubble teas (not sure about fruit drinks) but as a former employee at multiple boba tea places, it wasn't good. I think it's because they are really not the focus, but unless they can make time to make them better, it should just not be offered. Regardless, I would recommend this place to everyone and to be sure to get the chili oil and dumpling sauce for take out cause its so unique and makes every dish even better

It looks like the place does a fair amount of take out. The prices were reasonable, and the portions were fair. The traditional dim sum menu was limited, but what they did offer, they made quite well. The bathroom, if needed, is located behind/beyond the kitchen, but there is one available for customers to use. You'll need to ask to get directions.

Opened a few months ago, it's been on my top 3 Chinese eateries. We've been here once a week!

Beef vermicelli soup: loved the noodles, they were so light yet flavorful, with a perfect texture. The steak was soft and tender, and the scallions on top were a great addition. Beef stir fry: It had well seasoned and juicy steak. The larger cuttings of peppers and onions were great, they were so soft too. The noodles were nice and soft, and there were so many. Fantastic.

I've gotten the sushi and chicken/eggplant special in the past, generally doing take out. The order is always ready when I arrive, and the food is standard and solid for what you'd expect. The fish is fresh, especially for this type of 3 roll special and these days $17 is pretty much one of the better prices you can find these days, and they are made well (ie the sushi/rice doesn't fall apart - see pics) Service is friendly, and I've always called in my orders due to the service charge for online orders. Also $15 minimum for credit card fyi Solid neighborhood spot, would recommend this local restaurant for anyone craving Americanized Chinese food and simple sushi cravings.

Ordering is done online using a QR code to access the menu, which is pretty convenient, especially with a code for each table. That said, it would probably help for them to have WiFi available there b/c the cell signal in that area isn't very strong. I would imagine they would take verbal orders as well. Service was pretty fast, and we also didn't feel rushed to get going, it was all pretty chill overall. Water is in a fridge in the back along w/ the sodas, and it was good to have that pretty accessible. I went there to get bottles a few times and the server didn't say anything, so I assume that was fine. As far as the dishes we ordered, also helpful that they could adjust the spice level, we ordered mapo tofu, scallion pancakes, young chow fried rice, fried fish, chonqing chicken, double cooked pork, and cumin beef. All of it was tasty; some thought the cumin flavor very strong, but I thought it was great. I liked not only the "main" parts of the dishes but also the peppers and onions that were served alongside, picked at them as we wrapped up the meal. I would definitely be open to returning for another meal.

The crab filling was generous, and it was fun watching the chefs make them fresh by hand. The vegetarian steamed dumplings were another favorite, packed with vegetables and mushrooms. The fried noodles and fried rice were perfect for the kids, with generous portions and great flavor. The pan-fried pork dumplings had a crispy bottom, and the cucumber side dish was refreshing. We also always order the soy milk, which comes in both sweetened and unsweetened options. Overall, this is a casual, affordable spot with consistently delicious food. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant we keep coming back to whenever we're craving comforting Chinese food. Highly recommend!

We tried the chicken dumplings, spicy pork wonton, pan friend soup bao, bok choy, and cucumbers.

Two of us shared the hand ripped noodles and an order of wonton in soup. Both dishes were fine but not that impressive.

I usually get the grilled shrimp pho but decided to switch it up and try the grilled shrimp platter which is another one of my personal favs--They did a great job it was yummy but could use maybe 2 more shrimp to make the dish more fulfilling; maybe advertise it as on add on if possible. The curry shrimp was also tasty, I don't think it had any sweet potatoes in it like the menu said and could've used less egg plant but overall was pretty good. Still one of my favorite places on main street to grab a bite to eat :)

But someone under the post commented that they enjoy coming to Main Street Pho so I decided to come to this location because this is close to me. You can go on their site and place the order for pick up. That was very convenient and easy. It's right on Main Street in manayunk so you already know the parking is not the greatest. I actually drove by the place. I had to circle back around and I got lucky and found parking. It's actually right across the street from Winnie's to be exact. It's a very small and quaint place and the gentleman at the counter was very nice and helpful. I got the brisket pho, eggplant with garlic sauce and shrimp, chicken wings and Vietnamese coffee. Overall, I was not impressed; disappointed in the lack of flavor. Their wings were with tamarind sauce and the sauce was not good so I did not use it so it left the wings very bland. All of the food really didn't have any flavor and Pho is supposed to have great flavor coming from the broth. Even the Vietnamese coffee was just OK. I've had better of all the above. I'm not sure if I will go back here. I'm a flavor person so that's what I would need to be sold. Maybe this is a bad batch day.
