This place was phenomenal!! The quality and price were great. We got the ginger scallion lobster stir fry- perfect! Beef in black pepper sauce with incredibly tender and flavorful pieces. And the wonton noodle soup was ridiculous!! So much flavor, especially with the jalapeño soy sauce they provide. Finished the perfect meal with complimentary orange slices read more

I was starving and wanted to ubereats some chinese style lobster. However I really wanted the lobster from here and they don't deliver so I had to compromise and uber over there to pick it up. It was still very worth it :) I ordered the Hong Kong style lobster which was 1.25 lbs of lobster that I believe is deep fried in batter and then stir fried with ground meat and green onions. OMG it is amazing, super flavorful and because the lobster is straight out of the tank it is very fresh and moist. I also got the chicken and salted fish fried rice but it wasn't that great. They do give you a shit ton of fried rice with one order but it was kinda bland and lacked flavor. I would skip getting this. read more

I dread driving to Chinatown due to parking. Shing Kee is a great alternative to my problem. I wanted lobster with ginger scallions sauce. They will give you a discount if you order two lobsters. You have to call head to place your order and always ask for pricing. The menu may not reflect current prices. You have to ware mask to enter to pickup your food. read more

Best sit down chinese restaurant in South Philly. Not that there are many other options. The wife and I come here often for the Beef Chow Fun, West Lake soup, salt and pepper pork chop. Avoid the Mapo tofu. Free parking is hard to beat! read more

I came here with my family because we didn't feel like going to the other Chinese restaurant which was significantly more pricey and crowded. Hearing that many people who enjoy food from Chinatown like this place as an alternative, I figured we give this place a shot. My parents didn't feel comfortable at first because they weren't greeted by anyone and had to say something first even though they weren't that busy... or so it seemed. They also gave me and my Caucasian husband a fork while they offered chopsticks to my parents and brother. So weird lol I'm Asian and can use chopsticks, but my husband can as well! The food was alright. We did feel like the Singapore noodle's pork pieces tasted very old as if it were leftover scraps from a week ago. However, steamed pea shoots, flat noodles, salt baked squid, salt baked fried pork were really delicious. I can definitely see myself returning for all of the other foods. read more

This spot is great if you want Chinatown food but not the Chinatown parking haha I was craving duck wonton noodle soup and they delivered! The wonton was great but the duck wasn't Chinatown quality. Haha. However, it was an overall great experience. The staff were friendly and they gave us orange slices after our meal like the old Chinese style! Nice. read more

I can't remember how many times I've been here, but I can say I have tried about 80% of their menu and I will keep coming back for their authentic Cantonese cuisine, either dine in or take out. Shing Kee may not have the best location or ambiance, but it offers the best authentic Cantonese dishes in Philadelphia, which is comparable if not better than the top Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown. Shing Kee has a relatively full menu for Cantonese cuisine, including various noodles, wontons, congees, stir-fried dishes, and fresh seafood. By "fresh", I mean seafood that is actually alive. You can see a selection of fish, crabs, oysters and other things that live in the glass water tanks in the restaurant, and they will prepare the specific seafood you choose at their market price by weight. This is how fresh seafood are delivered in traditional Cantonese and other high-end Chinese restaurants in China. The only limitation of the menu is that they don't have many dim sum dishes. The service of Shing Kee is above average among Chinese restaurants in the city. Depending on the day, they offer complimentary appetizers or desserts to customers, such as daily soup, Cantonese dissert, or fruits. Shing Kee also has multiple TVs with sports games on, I don't really care about it but my boyfriend really likes it. Shing Kee is outstanding in terms of authenticity and consistency, which is absolutely a hidden gem in south Philly. read more

Came here based on all of the reviews and I'm so glad I did! I usually go to Chinatown for a good noodle soup, but was definitely impressed here! The owner was so friendly and even laughed at how much hot oil I put in my soup (I like it spicy what can I say!). I ordered the wonton noodle soup and the wontons were as fresh as could be and can't even compare to your corner store Chinese takeout. I'm glad I came here and will definitely be returning again! read more

Shing Kee - Wonton Noodle Soup - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Shing Kee is one of the few Chinese houses on Washington Avenue. It serves of Hong Kong/ Cantonese style dishes that are fairly authentic, very tasty, and at good prices. It came highly recommended by my friends who work in the area, and rightly so. Service was above average in that promptness and smiles were part of the interaction with the servers. My only nit was that there were two large HDTVs on the walls that were both tuned to the same channel that no one was watching, although the Eagles preseason game was available. They just couldn't manage to change over to the game despite saying they would. I just decided to finish quickly, and catch the game on the car radio. The dinner was good aside from that annoyance. Scallion Pancakes were two deep and as wide as a large dinner plate. Not too greasy, and enough green onion flavor. The Pork Cutlets were large, well fried and very tasty is a good Garlic Sauce. There was some bone left, but it was easy to pick them up and work the meat off. I appreciated that they were a large size and non-oily. The ubiquitous Broccoli Florets were ho-hum. Shing Kee is a definite keeper, especially in light of the absence of many legit alternatives in the area. It also is a good driving destination as they are in a shopping center with a decent parking lot. While there, there are a couple of markets for grabbing your Asian ingredients for your adventures in Asian cooking. read more

Holy moly. The service is great. The food is amazing. I can't wait to go back. Sesame chicken with broccoli: actual real pieces of chicken. I didn't feel like I was eating the usual "chicken paste" stuff at all, you can tell it's real and it's good. Beef chow fun with satay sauce: it's got delicious pieces of pineapple in it. Some of the pieces of beef were better than others, I'm totally fine with that but felt it was worth pointing out to yous. Scallion pancakes: SO unique. Ugh. I wish I wasn't stuffed so I could eat more of these. Their chili oil is also really good and I put it on everything. Thanks! read more

No complaints about the actual dishes but if you get take-out, check your dishes because we got a cashew chicken instead of the cashew shrimp. It was good but a bit unexpected when we got home (45 min later). read more

Came in on Sunday noon and ordered Indonesian Fried Rice, beef chow fun, and stir-fry mixed veggies with minced garlic. The food and waiter were awesome. As an Indonesian, i approve their Indo fried rice. Overall, it was a great experience and i will try again. Evidently, I didnt have any pics to back up my review, thats because we devoured the food as soon as they were placed on our table. read more

Great food! We ordered beef chow fun, scallion pancake, Indonesian fried rice, curry fried rice with chicken, deep fried squid. Everything are delicious. We got these to go so we don't know yet if they're good or not: Pad Thai cooked with curry sauce, Peking pork rib, seafood curry. We'll give you update soon. read more

I ordered two dishes, both were bland. NO SEASONING. Not even soy sauce helped this bland food. Pepper steak had no gravy, just peppers and onions, meat and rice, and no taste whatsoever. The other order was pretty much the same. This was my first and last time ordering from this establishment. read more

Great service, which is unusual for Chinese restaurants. Love the 豆苗. Ribs were too salty for me but my mom loved them. Came back a second time and got the Buddha's delight. Didn't like that as much. Didn't like that they served tea at night too -- I need to sleep! Very good if you know what you want. read more

The "Hainan Chicken" is awesome!!!! We scarfed it down...Would definitely recommend it so don't miss out read more

Out of all of Philadelphia's Chinese restaurants, this is one of the top restaurant in my book. They are conveniently the only authentic Cantonese Chinese restaurant in South Philadelphia. I don't remember how many times we've eaten here. I always get their sizzling short ribs or their chicken egg plant hot bowl here. Parking here is a lot easier then Chinatown! read more

I have no idea how this restaurant has such a high rating with such unknowledgeable and rude servers and employees. I would give it 0 stars if it were an option. They made not one but several mistakes. I was there this past Friday. First mistake they committed was I ordered the Pad Thai with my friends CLEARLY stated no beef or pork for religious reasons just chicken. Yet still got Pork ! The waitress who took our order didn't even apologize and acted like we made the mistake. Then her coworker offered to replace it but be charged for it as well? What kind of restaurant doesn't replace wrong orders free of charge for their mistake? THIS ONE. So I had to eat the other dishes instead and we ended up not getting another Pad Thai since they were going to charge us. Next mistake. My friend paid for the meal using his Chase Credit Card. They literally swiped his credit card 4 times... 4 TIMES ! Are you kidding me? They voided the first three but still? The most surprising part was the employee that made the mistake didn't even come over to apologize. He sent another coworker to do it. And the coworker that came over was drenched all over my shoulder yelling at my friend in his ear "YES WE CANCELLED" over and over. Made it seem like it was our fault. It was supposed to be an apology but seemed to look like verbal abuse. It felt great seeing my friend write that big fat 0 on the tip line in their faces to show them how crappy and rude they were. Their service was terrible or lack of service. I hope no one ever goes to this place. read more

For an authentic Chinese dinner it's as good as it gets. There is no atmosphere just plain good food

This place is so authentic and good! The seafood is very fresh. My family and I come here at least twice a week to eat. We sometimes have birthday parties here too. They are very accommodating and friendly. I prefer this over any Cantonese spot in Chinatown. Plus, there's a parking lot!! No need to drive around for hours to look for street parking or pay money for a lot. read more

Shing Kee - Fish clay pot - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

4.5 stars. My friend discovered this Hong Kong style Chinese restaurant in south Philly and it's become our go to place for Chinese food in the city. I've only had a small sample of items from their huge menu but pleasantly surprised by the quality of most dishes we had- which is to say that the food is not swimming in oil or heavy sauces typical of most Chinese restaurant. My favorites are the spicy fried squid (kinda like calamari but bigger chunks of squid with a light breading that is super tasty and just mildly spicy), beef with bitter melon (if you like bitter melon), and the spaghetti with chicken cutlet (very authentic HK style Italian food according to my friend). The congee and beef noodle dish were also solid. Garlic chicken was well seasoned with perfectly crispy skin but slightly dried out. They offer complimentary tea and sometimes fruit or a small dessert (seems random but it's a nice surprise). $15 minimum for credit cards. It's in a Asian plaza so free parking if you drive and there's a large Asian grocery store nearby. read more

This place is really great. We got three things (corn soup, beef chow fun, grilled steak and chicken) and everything was tasty and HUGE. Seriously, we got enough food for two meals at least. We'll definitely be regulars. I heard they don't do delivery though, which is a shame. Also keep in mind--$15 credit minimum. Everything is pretty cheap, so bring cash! read more

Excellent, attentive service in a relaxed atmosphere. Pan fried dumplings were plentiful and a good app. The spring rolls were actually sooo good! Melt in your mouth good. General Tso's chicken is also one of the best we've had at a Chinese sit-down restaurant in Philly. Lots of chicken, and the sauce was seasoned perfectly. We also ordered the Walnut Shrimp, which was alright. It needed more flavor, or more sauce. The walnuts weren't that crunchy, but we did enjoy the broccoli. It's cool though. 4 star rating is really just about the General Tso's. We would go back just for that. read more

Wow! What an incredible experience! We shared a whole fish and seafood hot pot with veggies. All cooked to perfection! Definitely coming again. read more

Ordered take-out from here and the food was just alright in my opinion, but that may also be because we requested no MSG. Will have to try one more time to give it a fair chance I suppose! read more

So I've done takeout from here twice. The first time I did the baked pork chop with rice, and was not excited. It was undoubtedly good, but not really what I was after. The crazy part is that I was eating leftovers for two days after - which was impressive. The second takeout order (last night) was excellent. It was water spinach, mango shrimp, and the seafood with vermicelli noodles and curry. The curry was very light, but the seafood was abundant and the mango shrimp was amazing. They also threw in a soup unsure of what it was (pork, corn, carrots) that was really tasty. Again - the leftovers from this order lastest for another two meals. I think I've found my go-to chinese takeout. read more

I'm impressed! We walked into the is place because we needed a quick meal before a haircut appointment. We got egg rolls, jellyfish, fried chicken and chow fan. The jellyfish was spicy with little pieces of meat in it. This was a different style than what I was used to and expecting but it was a pleasant surprise. I liked it a lot. The chow fun was also very good. The noodles were al dente and the flavor was good. The egg rolls were crispy, to me they were bland but my sister liked them a lot. The friend chicken had really good crust and the meat was very tender even though the meat on the inside didn't really have so much flavor. I would definitely come again, and stop by BAMBU close by for dessert! read more

Love their food and services. My personal favorites are the salt baked fried chicken wings and baked pork chop spaghetti with cheese. I had been here for couple family styled dining also which is also good. High key recommended. read more

Great food. And inexpensive! I would say their menu is similar to Ting Wong and MKee in Chinatown. But, here at Shing Kee, parking is plenty and free :) This area of the city offers so many great Vietnamese restaurants, and I think Shing Kee is the place to go if you want something else other than Vietnamese food in the area. I would definitely come back. read more

Shing Kee - Salt & Pepper Wings - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Okay... I just love this place. I'm Chinese and is personally not a fan of Chinese food... but this place.. It's always so good no matter when we order, what we order or if were dining in or taking out. This is me and hubby's go to place and we pretty much always get the same thing- occasionally trying something different. We always get the fried pork intestines, pork intestines with pickled greens, salted fish fried rice (the bestttttt), snow pea leaves.. and then depending on our mood we order a bunch of other stuff. I got a whole lobster with ginger and scallion before it was ok but today I got the lobster with minced pork omg it was so good! I just wish they used uber eats or something so I could get it delivered when I dont feel like coming out read more

Ordered take out from here. The fried rice is mediocre and Definitely not a fan of any of their curry dishes. What IS amazing however are their fried chicken wings with pepper salt. Its an appetizer and its SOOOO GOOD. read more

My first visit 2 years ago was meh... wonton noodle was bland bland bland... I'm so glad I gave it a second chance. They've truly stepped up their game: wonton noodle was so much more flavorful this time around. The vegetables in the stirfry were cooked perfectly. The salt and pepper wings were outstanding - my current favorite in the city, and so much closer than Chinatown! I will be back again very very soon... read more

Overall the meal was fulfilling. It was a bit on the salty side for my liking but the size of the portions and flavor makes up for it. My favorites are the clams w/black bean sauce and mi xao gion (crispy fried noodle w/sauce? idk the Chinese translation). Service was average. read more

The food is not too bad. And the restaurant itself feels like an old chinese restaurant. I got confuse when I saw spaghetti meatballs in the menu since it's a Chinese Restaurant and decided to try. Well it's not the best decision because nobody likes it in our table. Haha. Stick with Chinese Food read more

This spot is conveniently located at the Asian strip mall at 6th and Wash. That being said, yall mofos can't park. How about staying in the lines and not all crooked? Nope. That's asking for too much! As for the restaurant, it's small but cozy. Good for family night. We had 7 dishes with soup and each one was great. Non parking ass mofos! read more

Awesome food, byob, good quality meat and Seafood. The server was amazing and helped us choose unfamiliar dishes from the menu. If you typically stick with Americanized foods, let them help you try something new! When we ordered an eel dish, we were able to watch him net a live eel from the tank for our meal, which was a treat. Everything tasted excellent and very fresh. We will be back! read more

Had the hot and sour soup - delish!!! The triple seafood delight - excellent ! The hunan chicken - to die for Excellent service read more

They had me at "Mustard Greens Soup with Sliced Pork." It was excellent. Light, flavorful with ginger and slight bitter greens and tender, tender pork. Served family style so plenty for two (or three if there had been three of us.) The hijan chicken (?sp) was steamed/poached mild chicken on the bone that came with a bright green ginger sauce (perhaps with cilantro?) that put it over the top. Dining buddy ordered tofu (ma po, sorta) that had the perfect amount of heat, spice, sauce and small murky green unidentifiable vegetables that were salty slices of tasty surprise. Not a vegetarian dish, btw. There's ground pork. Generous portions, great service and a menu full of "I have to try that" like the salt & pepper shrimp we saw go by, and the won ton soup. read more
