    Doughy Steamed Vegan Dumpling 素蒸餃
    Cynthia W.

    After a long day exploring Philly, and having been away from home for a couple weeks at this point, we were looking forward to having some comfort Asian food. We sort of stumbled upon Luscious Dumplings. My partner mentioned that it sounded familiar, and when we looked it up later, it's a chain, with restaurants in California as well, and a Bib Gourmand to its name. We got a beef tendon soup (this was really good) as well as some bok choy. Coming from LA, we appreciated the prices. These are probably the reasons this place isn't a 1 or 2 star for us. Ok, so. We also got an order of the vegan dumplings...and these were just....very sad. They are supposed to be 小籠包s, but there was no soup in them! They were really dry, the skin was REALLY hard and dry and CRACKED, which should just never happen. I think these were hands down the worst dumplings I have ever been served in my whole life. And my family is from Taiwan. We eat a lot of dumplings. And then. On top of this, when I told one of the servers that the dumplings were subpar and asked them to be removed from the check, he curtly told me "不能退" ("no returns"). Uhhhh.... Then later, another (nicer) server came to check on us, and I said the dumplings were inedible. He said he would check with the manager, but came back and basically repeated the "no returns" line. Then yet later, the first (dour) server came with the check, I asked again if it could be removed from the check, he said no. I asked again. I showed again him the cracked bottoms and the dry, hard, inedible skin of all of the dumplings. Finally, he's like, "we can exchange it." At this point, I don't want this to be exchanged. It's just not good. So finally, FINALLY. He took it off the tab. Look. I want these dumpling places to do well. I was just so disappointed to feel the absolute lack of pride in the food that they serve, and their unwillingness to take accountability for it. So, hopefully someone reads this and can make some changes to food quality and make sure they are even across all of their restaurants. The restaurant itself was spacious, well-lit, and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean, and we didn't deal with parking here. If I lived in Philly, I would not come back here. And given that there are oodles of amazing places for dumplings and noodles in LA, most with better service, I doubt we will be going to their other locations either. This was a complete miss.

    I passed by here and went in, saw a bunch of recommendations from TikTok and Yelp for Chinatown food. Food: 5/10 Service: 8.3/10 - The workers were very nice, I was served right away. Ambiance: 3.5/10

    $9.99 Steamed Fish Dumplings with Napa 蒸魚餃
    Tiffany T.

    This review is only for the fish dumplings that I tried. 8 dumplings for $9.99. The dough skin is a little thick imo, and the filling is not very flavorful To be fair, I am comparing them with the best fish dumplings I've ever had from "Chinese Korean Dumplings and Noodles" in New world mall in Flushing NY. But I wouldn't order these again I heard they have happy hour daily 2-5p for $7 dumplings. I may come back to try some others and report back

    I love a no-nonsense dumpling spot. We got seated immediately and staff were good at hovering at the front and watching tables because they forecasted all of our needs. From the fast ordering to immediate water refills, service is impeccable. We got the mushroom noodles with side soup and the dumpling and tea combo. Both are such great deals for the amount of food you're getting. The food is delicious and they have the side sauces available on the table so you don't even have to ask. It wasn't busy at lunch hour so everyone seems to be seated quickly and food comes out fast too. The staff do an excellent job of keeping the space clean and calm.

    My friends are regulars here and recommended we come here one night! We were seated immediately and the restaurant is very cute and clean and the bathrooms are very clean and have paper towels. We ordered two orders of scallion pancake, and also got the sesame chicken with rice, angus beef noodle soup, the szechuan pickled pork noodle soup, and smashed cucumbers with garlic sauce. The portions were huge and there was a lot of meat with the food. The soup was very refreshing and light. The highlight of our meal was the sauce that came with the scallion pancakes -- it was the perfect flavor mix of sweet and umami. We will definitely be coming back. They also sell T shirts for $25, but it is in Asian sizing.

    Came at the recommendation of a friend and the dumplings did not disappoint! I really liked their hot and sour soup, the pork dumplings were great, the crap soup dumpling amazing, and could not go wrong with lo mein. It was such a cute little restaurant with bright lights and good space. Our service was also quite fast and kept water refills coming quickly.

    Solid soup dumplings, okay noodles but still good. Nice clean ambiance, kind service but had to wait almost half an hour for one order of gyozas to go at the end. Overall great food though!

    Bok Choy and Steamed Dumplings
    Quynh T.

    We were driving through and stopped in Chinatown while visiting Philadelphia. It's a relatively short walk from the Liberty Bell to Chinatown - thus making it an ideal place for tourists to visit for food. I was craving dumplings after a few days on the road and eating way too much American food. I yelped this place and we decided to come inside. They were quick to sit our large party and we also quickly ordered. The food came out pretty quickly and everything was good! Favorites we ordered: Xiao Long Bao Chili Wonton Pan Fried Dumplings Bok Choy 100% would come back! Prices were affordable and food was excellent.

    Spicy tripe (not very spicy but very flavorful)

    I have been meaning to visit this restaurant because it has a good reputation for good food. The menu is very comparable to another smaller soup dumpling chain. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. The beef in the noodle soup was tender and the cold wood ear dish was my favorite so far. The soup dumplings were also very good, although not the best (7.5/10). I was however surprised to see that the pan fried buns were just the same as the soup dumplings, not the more pillowy, yeastier, sweet doughy bun that is the cousin of a traditional soup dumpling. When we asked for the check, it was presented to us on a mobile device that the server held on to, giving us all of 5 seconds to review and pay. It was awkward having to look at this tiny screen to make sure everything was correct and to leave a gratuity. I would love to see a paper check in the future.

    Sweet Pork Belly Bao Bun
    Jocelyn O.

    This was our second time in this place. The first time we did take out. The food was tasty. Our second time, we decided to give it a try and eat at the restaurant. One big thing for us in eating in Chinatown is how clean the place is. The main dining room, bathroom, etc. , when you pass the kitchen the floors were clean. It's good to see. Our favorite dish here is the Sweet Pork Belly Bao Bun. Delish. Service is good. Very helpful and patient wait staff. Will definitely go back.

    pan fried pork dumplings, scallion pancake, angus beef bun
    Sophia W.

    Some of the best dumplings I've had in my life, wow. These are really unique dumplings, different from usual because they are more soupy. Everything we ordered was delicious. The food came fast, and the staff are friendly. The interior is casual and unassuming, but the food is mindblowing. For appetizers and sides, the bean curd, wood ear mushrooms, and bok choy are good. The scallion pancake was thin and crispy, and the soup dumplings were perfect. What really steals the show, though, are the boiled and pan fried dumplings. My favorite was the pan fried pork dumplings, but the two kinds of boiled dumplings are also good. The angus beef bun and the stewed pork belly buns are creative and delicious. I definitely recommend this spot if you're ever in Philly's Chinatown!

    YangHwa P.

    A very nice alternative to other soup dumpling restaurants. Their soup dumpling skins are thinner than Dim Sum Garden (which is a plus), but the skin breaks too much. Their soup dumpling service is good, and the restaurant is pretty spacious and clean. All the dishes we ordered were good, maybe not the best I tasted, but I did enjoy them. I'll have to come back and try their other dishes.

    Samira A.

    I've tried a few things here and some dishes are better than others. The seaweed with spicy garlic is delicious, and the soup dumplings are are very large with lots of flavor. The spicy dumplings have a nutty flavor I wasn't into, so I wouldn't get that again. Soups are big and taste fresh, but they need a splash of hot oil to wake up the flavors. Good place overall. Quick service and lots of seating.

While I was downtown, I picked up about $92 worth of food, including 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp salad that couldn't be ordered online because, for some reason, the website would not allow it. The very next day, when we went to eat it, something was clearly wrong. The shrimp salad caused a tingling sensation on our tongues, and it was obvious it had gone bad. I called the deli to let them know not just because we couldn't eat it, but because I thought they would want to know if there was a potential issue with the batch. Instead of receiving an apology or any concern, I was met with a dismissive response of, "Oh, that's weird," and the conversation felt condescending. I explained that I couldn't bring the shrimp salad back because I'm leaving town and my mother has limited mobility. I wasn't asking for a refund on our entire order. I simply asked if they could issue a gift card or store credit for the shrimp salad so my mother could use it on a future visit. Every possible solution I suggested was met with an excuse as to why it couldn't be done. The spoiled food was disappointing, but the lack of empathy and customer service was worse. Loyal customers deserve to be treated with respect when they raise a legitimate concern. After years of supporting 4th Street Deli, this experience has unfortunately convinced us that it will be our last visit. I'm reading they have new owners, so maybe it's not the same amazing management we are used to.

    I've been going to Nan Zhou for years now, and even as newer and flashier restaurants have opened…read morein Chinatown, Nan Zhou will always be a reliable stalwart. I got dinner here recently after not coming for a while and was reminded just how good it is. Really delicious, authentic, and affordable Northern Chinese food - my mom is from that region and always asks to come here whenever she visits. The noodle portions are huge and expertly hand-crafted and cooked for the perfect bouncy chewy texture. The dumplings are also lowkey the best in Chinatown, with a thicker chewy skin characteristic of Northern-style dumplings, a juicy filling bursting with flavor, and a perfect sweet soy sauce dip on the side. Service is quick and friendly, with the servers able to accommodate both Chinese and English speakers and happy to give recommendations. And you can tell from the clientele that this place is a hit with both Chinese and non-Chinese diners alike. It was packed on a Friday night! It's BYO too so you can even imbibe in some drinks with dinner without breaking the bank. FYI that they only accept cash and Venmo for payment.

On this cold almost summer day, Nan Zhou was hustling and bustling. Separate parties at the same round table and clients coming in and out of the restaurant facade. Warm lighting and active banter. I received my bowl of beef noodle soup was pretty satisfied. Beef was tender with flavorful bites of fattiness. Somehow, the meat tastes beefier than beef. The cilantro had potent herbaceous flavor with some spinach(?) and mustard greens. Noodles were pleasantly chewy w variation in texture. Lowkey, everything else was alright. I like to be nice so I'll say no more. Cucumbers were fine
