    Lemon Chicken
    Arthur N.

    Berwyn is the middle child of the Veekoo family; Royersford being the oldest sibling, Bryn Mawr the youngest. For over ten years, I've been something of a semi-regular at both the Royersford and Berwyn locations; most recently, however, my dining partner and I have spent more time at the latter. In contrast to the homey atmosphere of the Royersford outpost, the ambiance here is stylishly chic in tone. Rich mahogany & black leather highlight the main dining area while hanging beaded room dividers and a creamy white rear wall add intriguing touches of textural contrast. Just to the right of the entrance is a more diminutive dining space dominated by a sleek high-top seven-seat sushi bar. I don't know who was responsible for the striking interior décor, but he/she/they did a splendid job of understating the case. Minimalist is the word that comes immediately to mind. Berwyn's décor notwithstanding, the draw here has always been the superior quality of the pan-Asian cuisine. My dining partner and I have some fond memories... Starters like the Tuna Tataki and Lettuce Wraps (pictured), for instance. The former featuring thin slices of black pepper seared tuna bathed in a pungent yuzu sauce; the latter headlining either diced chicken or shrimp companioned by a rich viscous hoisin. And entrées were equally up to the mark... presentations such as Salt-Baked Flounder, Black Pepper Filet Mignon, and Jumbo Shrimp with a colorful array of crunchy vegetables, for instance. Chicken in Black Bean Sauce was always my perpetual favorite... That is, until I tasted the Lemon Chicken. A white meat breast was pounded thin, lightly battered, and then gently sautéed until the crust reached a crispy consistency. It was then cut into bite-size pieces, garnished with slices of orange, and accompanied by a ramekin of the chef's special lemon-orange sauce. The chicken was incomparably tender, the sauce adding just the proper combo of sweetness and spice. But all of the above transpired a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away - or so it seems (ten years ago, to be absolutely precise). Things have changed significantly; and, judging by several recent visits, not for the better. Consider, for instance, a relatively simple conglomeration of house-made pork wontons, chicken broth, and scallions, Wonton Soup. In even the humblest of Asian eateries, this would be considered a no-brainer. And yet... the Veekoo rendition was, very simply, the bland-leading-the-bland. In other words, anything even approximating flavor was conspicuous by its absence. Moving on to the entrées, my Lo Mein - egg noodles garnished with eggs, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage & scallions - was garnished with vegetables (as opposed to other meaty options) and about as exciting as the above-mentioned Wonton Soup, which is to say, not at all. My dining partner, who is something of a devotee of General Tso's Chicken - deep-fried chicken in a sweet/spicy, savory sauce - considered Veekoo's version a good deal less than impressive. I don't mean to imply that the cuisine here is "bad." It is not. However, in my humble opinion, the overall quality of the food certainly seems to have deteriorated over time. What was once considered first-class is now barely squeaking by as economy coach. For veteran Veekoo diners - this writer included - the difference is all too palpable. The same may be said for the service. During our most recent visit, for example, we had barely started our appetizers when up pops our Speedy Gonzales server with the entrées. This is a practice I have soundly criticized in previous reviews; and it is usually the result of a server's inexperience or poor training. Here, however, we received the distinct impression that management's desire to turn over tables as quickly as possible definitely took precedence over diners' comfort. Yet another not so subtle indication of this restaurant's unfortunate decline.

    Pork dumplings
    Ahashta J.

    Nice place! Beautiful decor, clean and peaceful. Stopped in for late lunch with the family. We had a smorgasbord. Flying dragon sushi roll, pork veekoo dumplings, Kung pao shrimp, chicken fried rice, hot and sour soup, and chicken coconut lemongrass soup. Every bite was delicious! My husband was talking about the hot and sour soup hours later. Food was fresh and bright. Service was attentive and efficient. We definitely would return.

    My friend and I dined here for lunch on Friday. We were a little early for our 11:45 reservation, but were seated immediately, as we were the first guests of the day. As soon as you walk in the door, the restaurant is beautiful and has a cool, classy ambience. Everything, including the restrooms, was clean and well maintained. The gentleman who seated us was also our server. I'm not sure if he had a rough morning, or was annoyed that we showed up early, but he was not friendly. No smile, all business. Despite his lack of personality, he was very attentive, got our order correct, and kept our water glasses filled -- all of which we were appreciative of! We started with the Szechuan dumplings, which were very tasty and had just the right amount of spicy heat. We both got the lunch special with 2 sushi rolls (I got spicy tuna and spicy crabmeat) plus miso soup. Everything was delicious and served at the proper temperature, and the food came out pretty quickly. As we were leaving, there was a nice woman at the host stand, and she warmly thanked us for coming, which made up for the otherwise awkward service! I would welcome the opportunity to come here again.

    Hot and sour soup is delicious
    Gail W.

    Try the hot and sour soup as well as shrimp. Hunan whichas eight large shrimp. I prefer the restaurant VeeKoo in Royersford and Bryn Mawr only because of the ambience.

    Spring roll appetizer
    Sandra R.

    Veekoo in Berwyn The restaurant was packed but Service was quick and friendly. The food was very delicious. Spring rolls, General Tso chicken, Basil chicken - all fantastic. We will definitely come back.

    Pink Lady Sushi Roll  Under special Rolls Delicious
    Ann B.

    Veekoo in Royersford Reservation 5:45 the restaurant was filled. our table was the only empty table. Great service, clean, Pink Lady was suggested on Yelp so tried it. Thank you to who ever suggested Pink Lady. BYOB

    California Roll with added cream cheese! Delicious!!
    Gabriella W.

    I love Veekoo. I live and work nearby and grab take-out for lunch or dine-in for dinner on a weekly basis. I have been able to try an assortment of options from their menu and have enjoyed almost everything I have tried! The sushi is amazing! It cannot be beat. The only down side would be the cost, however it is VERY worth it. I love their ocean roll and regularly get the classic California roll and add cream cheese. One of my favorite meals I have ever ordered from a restaurant is Veekoo's fried rice with shrimp and chicken that is served in a pineapple. It is so delicious! I have attempted to recreate this dish at home, but nothing compares. My only complaint would be that on occasion the chicken, in the dishes like Kung Pao Chicken or Chicken with Broccoli, seems as if it might not be fresh. It can get that kind of rubbery texture which is a huge turn-off for me. This is not always the case, but it has happened a few times. I highly recommend Veekoo and suggest you try their sushi and the fried rice!

The Peking duck and lobster fried rice are delicious, and the cocktails are equally well-crafted. Service is generally very good. It can get busy, and sometimes things move a bit slower than you'd expect given the price point. Speaking of price, it's definitely on the higher end, but the quality and atmosphere usually make it feel worth the splurge. Perfect for date nights, celebrations, or when you want something a little more upscale than the usual Main Line options. Nectar doesn't disappoint.

One table that is right in front of the napkins and between the pick up and the sodas. One table that is a bit too close to the bathrooms. That means there are basically 3 tables that are the most viable to use that are left. When we went, they were obviously the only tables taken. I had this place in downtown Philadelphia in 2021 and wanted to try this place again. When I saw this, I wanted to try it. I guess second time around, it didnt wow me as much as the first time around.
