I'd never had them before and off I went to Chinatown to poke around and see who might have them. This place looked like the kind of place that most people would walk by - it looks outdated and well, run down. But their menu had it and I sat down and tried it out. I chose the $7 version with steamed shrimp and OH MY! I have a new favorite. Loved it. Out of curiosity, I also decided to try out the salt and pepper pork, which just basically turned out to be a fried pork chop. Pretty generous serving, with lots of fried garlic and onions, and fresh jasmine rice. Not bad. Saved most of it to bring home.

To top it off they even serve a soup of the day that comes along with your meal! They really know how we like to eat. Together the combo is just so good, unbeatable. Their roast duck was perfectly seasoned and cooked, skin was delicious, sometimes the meat portion for this selection is a little lacking cuz the weight is made up of bones, but otherwise really good. That's just the cost of getting roast duck as an option. Their char siu taste, quality, and portion all exceed expectations, really good. Perfectly seasoned with their marinade that penetrates the meat fully. And lastly their roast pork, crispy meaty, great crust, meats a little dry but still really good! Definitely my favorite place in Philly!

We visited for a traditional Cantonese meal and had the Ginger and Scallion Chicken (Jiang Cong…read moreJi). While the flavor was clean and aromatic, the kitchen used chicken breast rather than the traditional bone-on thigh meat, which made the texture a bit chewy. We also tried the Szechuan Squid. Be aware that this is more of an "American-style" Szechuan dish -- it was sweet and sour rather than spicy and lacked the traditional peppers or numbing heat. However, the texture of the squid was remarkably soft and tender, reminiscent of an Italian-style slow-cooked calamari, which was a pleasant surprise. To round out the meal, the Dry Fried String Beans with Minced Pork (Gan Bian Si Ji Dou) were a solid highlight. As someone who frequently eats at more 'cleaver-heavy' Chinatown spots like Jin Wei, I found Lee How Fook to be a friendly and consistent spot, but the preparations here are definitely tailored to a much milder palate. If you are looking for that specific 'hacked' bone-in dark meat or a fiery Szechuan kick, this might feel a bit safe.

Came here on a Friday morning while visiting Philadelphia to try their dim sum, and we were…read morepleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was! We ordered the chicken lo mein (without vegetables for my nephew), diced dry spicy chicken, xiao long bao (XLB), pan-fried Sheng Jian Bao, chicken feet, crystal shrimp dumplings, and egg tarts. The chicken lo mein was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of salt and flavor. The diced dry spicy chicken came with a side of rice, which balanced the bold seasoning nicely. The chicken was crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside, and the spice level was around a 5/10, which is enough to give it a satisfying kick without being overwhelming. The XLB wasn't served with julienned ginger, as some restaurants do, but the broth inside the dumplings had a subtle ginger flavor that was a pleasant surprise. The dumplings were well-seasoned and flavorful enough that they didn't even need soy sauce. The pan-fried Sheng Jian Bao (five dumplings per order) was slightly less authentic than I expected. While the flavor was spot on, the filling lacked any soup, and both the top and bottom of the bao were crispy (typically just the bottom of the dumpling is pan-seared). They ended up tasting more like well-made pan-fried dumplings than traditional Sheng Jian Baos. The chicken feet came three to an order and were tender, with a savory sauce that had a hint of sweetness. The crystal shrimp dumplings were fresh and delicate, and the egg tarts made for a great way to finish the meal with their flaky crust and creamy custard filling. The service here was excellent. Our server spoke almost perfect English, which isn't always expected at restaurants specializing in authentic dim sum. The food arrived quickly, piping hot, and they accept both cash and credit cards. The restaurant is fairly spacious, though it doesn't have the large banquet-style atmosphere you might associate with some traditional Chinese restaurants. Overall, this was an excellent dim sum experience, and I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Philadelphia.

You order the food by scanning the bar code and ordering on your phone. Ambience: This is a quiet restaurant with no music and can hear other people talking since the area is close together. Curry Fish Balls: This was so-so and could have tasted a little better. Rice noodle with peanut sauce: This was delicious and I would definitely get this again. Baked fried rice with curry and beef: My brother said this was delicious and the curry tasted better than the curry fish ball. Baked pasta with chicken: This was delicious as well and had just the right amount of taste. Hong Kong Milk Tea: This does not come with sugar even when you order it with sugar. You have to put your own sugar. Overall: We would definitely come back here again to try the other menu items that they have.

The beef stew was super tender and the ho fun noodles had a great texture, though the broth could have used a touch more depth and flavor Baked Pork Chop over Fried Rice in Tomato Sauce (3/5): The sauce had great flavor, but adding peppers and red onions felt a bit unusual.

My party usually intake weekend Chinese Dim Sum. Mona Lisa Vito: "I bet the Chinese food here is terrible. How's your Chinese food?" Vinny Gambini: "You just keep askin' about Chinese food. Can't you tell they don't have Chinese restaurants around here? You gotta let everybody know you're a tourist. Come on." - "My Cousin Vinny" 1992 film The staff speaks Cantonese which is very good to hear Cantonese spoken as it is mellifluous... at long last to continue this vernacular Chinese language. Chinese Dim Sum is regionally specific to Cantonese originating from the Guangdong province, ergo Cantonese will continue to survive as vernacular language. When we arrived there was one party of five middle age and elderly men who were conversing boisterously loud in Cantonese, but they were not arguing as it appeared that is their characteristic volume for communicating among each other. It seemingly appears every person within this party of five men want their individual spotlight as the desideratum to be heard without interruption and without judgment, therefore battle with loud vocally expressing one's thoughts. "Silence doesn't always mean you have nothing to say. It means you know that no matter what you say, nothing will change." - Snoopy, Peanuts by American cartoonist Charles M. Schulz I received complaints that I have been told I am too loud, but certainly this party of five men are louder. Ergo, stop with your vile complaints about me! My party of three found the quality of food average as juxtaposition for New York City Dim Sum. There are no dine-in menu to order platter entrées if the Dim Sum dishes does not eat your fill. Customer service is average. The Dim Sum trolley women appear nonchalant and less enthusiasm as they can determined to ascertain that my party and I are non-Pennsylvanians, but out-of-towners. We chosen Pu'er tea, bou2 nei2 普洱茶 as the default Dim Sum tea to help with digestion. The tea pot was metal but it was not boiling hot water rather lukewarm temperature for tea which is unorthodox for Dim Sum tradition. Business cards are available for grabs. I did obtained my sales receipt. Nevertheless, a Dim Sum Sunday brunch was a equanimity state achieved to balance work life in the company of family in fleeting times. Let's Yum Cha! My foodie synopsis: Shrimp dumpling 蝦 餃 (haa1 gaau2)- filled with small pieces of shrimp and the dumpling skin was rather thick. The dumpling skin was sticking to the paper wrapping. The dumpling skin was sticking to the top of my mouth. Pork and mushroom dumpling 燒 賣 (siu1 maai6*2) Shumai were well prepared and the mushroom were, gratefully, small and not overpower the dumpling. I am not a mushroom enthusiast. Beef rice noodle roll rice roll 牛肉腸 (ngau4 juk6 coeng4*2) texture was too chewy from the thickness. The rice noodle was average, but appear smaller covering the meat. Spare ribs with basil sauce 欖 汁 排 骨 (laam5*2 zap1 paai4 gwat1) - it was not swimming in oil and there were minimal meat, but minimal non-meat fat. Beef ball in bean curd 山竹牛肉丸 (saan1 zuk1 ngau4 juk6 jyun2) - it was not served piping hot, but average Unfortunately, Jade Harbor do not offer my favorite traditional Dim Sum dessert dishes: Mango Pudding 芒 果 布甸 (mong4 gwo2 bou3 din1) Almond pudding 杏 仁 豆 腐 (hang6 jan4 dau6 fu6)

Though a small restaurant sounds horrible, it was great because there was no need to flag down the dim sum carts or wait for service. The carts came by quickly and multiple times while the wait staff was readily available to clear our table. The dim sum is good but not as great as other places. That's not to say that the dim sum wasn't delicious. The basics are done well and each steamer came out hot. The only gripe I had was that the rice noodle rolls had thicker noodles compared to the filling but it's not that big of a deal. The shu mai, shrimp dumplings, chive dumplings, chicken feet, etc, were just as good as anywhere else. I would consider coming back just for the dim sum!

Both the dim sum menu and a lunch menu with standard Chinese restaurant fare were available. My party got the general tso's chicken from the lunch menu, and it was exceptional. Good-quality white meat with just enough spice. Heads up, though, the lunch dishes don't come with rice, so order that separately. From the dim sum menu, we ordered braised tripe with ginger & scallion, fried shrimp rolls, shrimp dumplings, steamed chicken buns, and crab meat soup dumplings. The braised tripe was a standout. It was cooked in a light yet flavorful sauce of ginger and scallion with the tripe's own broth. The delicateness of the sauce worked perfectly with the tripe. The dumplings were all great, especially the soup dumplings. The steamed chicken bun was the only thing I'd skip. It was on the heavier side, and the filling was just okay. The bill came out to about what I expected for the amount of food we ordered--$65 before tip. The service was friendly, and taking our order and getting the food was quick. After the food arrived, though, it was a little difficult to flag down a server to order more and later to get the check. Still, it was understandable given how busy they were, constantly collecting orders and putting out food. Overall, Canton Palace is a great find for anyone looking for this style of Chinese food outside of the usual New York neighborhoods.

I regrettably went on Valentines with my boyfriend after the Barnes. My food was so bad that my mood was negatively impacted (seriously). Stay away from any of the soups/ramens, the broth is exactly the same flavorless base for every soup. I'd stick with appetizers. I got the worst thing I've ever ordered at a restaurant here: Tom Kha Seafood Soup, it was supposed to be spicy but it was just sweet with no flavor at all. Nothing like any other Asian spicy seafood soups I've had before, lacking any normal amount of seafood (hardly any), and weird uncooked veggies, like huge sliced raw tomato bits. I ate the small amount of seafood out of it and left the rest. It was hardly edible. The scallion pancakes were also the most underwhelming I've ever had. I usually fight for the last piece but me and my boyfriend left half of it uneaten. No flavor or crisp. Seemed frozen and reheated, not fresh. The soup dumplings were the only good thing we ordered and they were just fine, nothing amazing. Additionally, there was a very small amount of them to our order. The Vietnamese beef soup was ok but very below average, nothing good that I'd recommend ordering, same bland broth. I really wanted to like this place and I usually never give out one star reviews, but it was truly bad and the ratings on it are clearly inflated and not reflective of its food quality. Small amounts of bad food for a price you could get much better things elsewhere. I'd rather have gone to Wawa than gone here (and I did after because I was still hungry).
