Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

you can tell you are in the right place right when you walk in the door. the food was excellent. fresh tender shrimp and fresh crisp vegetables in my fried rice. and the service was even better. i ate in but its generally a carryout place. the kitcken is busy(because the word obviously got out) but they are fast and good. highly recommended...

Ordered delivery, spent a good 10 minutes playing hide and go seek with the delivery boy who knew no English and enjoyed hanging up the phone. All of the wonton soup in the bag had spilled (was this my punishment because you didn't know what "turn left" means???) The sweet and sour chicken looked like a homeless hitch-hikers toe; tasted like seasoned cardboard. All in all the service is traumatizing and ingesting the food may have taken 45 days off of my life. I cannot fathom how this place gets good ratings

classic Chinese spot... can tell its good with so many ppl coming in and out of it. - Amazing spare ribs! - ordered kung pao chicken platter (comes with pork fried rice) - $5 it was a little bit more sweet than what im used too so probably wont get that again. - mongolian beef (comes with brown or white rice) - 7/10. big pieces and SOOO MUCH FOOD i had enough for 3 meals afterwards!

Horribble. Rude on the phone. Messed up our order. We tried telling them but the woman just kept hanging up on my husband (he has more patience than myself). We had enjoyed them the first time we used them but will stick with Asian Harbor instead.

This has to be one of the best Chinese food spots I've ever been to. They seem like they use quality ingredients & the times I've been here the food was always fresh. My favorites are the chicken or shrimp with broccoli but just like any other Chinese takeout they have a variety of dishes I'm willing to try. Give it a try, doubt you'll be disappointed.
(5)Jim D.
For the price,service and quality, this may be the best Chinese take out in philly. Will definitely be coming back for more.

You may find yourself at the end of your rope, ordering off Grubhub alone, diversifying your selections to increase the odds that one item will impress you enough to think that forsaking Han Dynasty and giving a shot to more Americanized Chinese food may be worth it. If you have chosen China House for this pivotal moment, you will find yourself sourly disappointed. The General Tso's chicken is squishy. The steamed dumplings are not very impressive. The Singapore noodles have very little kick to them. To be fair, China House will give you an absurdly large portion of food for a hilariously low price. The General Tso's chicken combo with rice weighs easily enough to bludgeon an enemy with, should the need strike you.

I don't give five stars easily, but I must say that China House is as good as it gets in Philadelphia. I've been going to China House for a few years now and they fail to disappoint. The first time I went there, I noticed right away that: -- there was no bullet-proof glass -- it was very busy -- the cashier (who I now know as Amy) was asking a patron about her mother What?! I've never seen this in ANY Chinese food take-out spot in Philadelphia! Then I noticed that the broccoli was fresh and the shrimp were fresh AND deveined. When I lived 35 minutes away and had a hankering for Chinese food, I would hop in my car and risk life and limb on I-76 for my shrimp egg foo young and shrimp fried rice made with brown rice. I also get shrimp rolls every now and again and, in the past, I've had the shrimp and broccoli. It's all good. Recently, I tried their shrimp in lobster sauce, which I bought at a discount, as someone ordered it and decided not to buy it because it contains egg to which they're allergic. So Amy offered it to those of us in the store at a discount. I don't usually do white sauce, but I took it off Amy's hands. It was SO good! I even poured some on my cat's crunchy food, which she hates, to get her to eat it and she tore it up! And the place is always busy when I go. This is important to me. If I walk into a restaurant and hear crickets, I walk out. Whenever I talk about this place to people, most already know about it and love it as much as I do. Anywho, the prices are reasonable, the food is always fresh, the place is clean, and the service is great. What more do you need in a Chinese take-out? Go!

This is the best Chinese food in south Philadelphia but they never give you enough condiments such as duck sauce .. Food is great but they don't deliver

I must admit, I love Chinese food and moving to South Philly from Fishtown I had a difficult time finding a decent Chinese takeout. I had the opportunity to try this place out and it has been my go to for all my Chinese cravings. The staff is all so friendly and after awhile they do remember you. I usually always call first to order because they always seem to be very busy. The only downfall is that it is CASH ONLY and they don't deliver. Thank God, they are very close to my house. I have been coming here since I moved to South Philly in 2011. The quality is great and they don't mind if you have a special order/request.
(4)Greg U.
Everybody loves Chinese food. Thus is where you should get it. They are quick and nice people. Not too talkative probably because they focus on efficiency. They food is good and cheap. Large portions sizes also. However Friday nights are ridiculously packed. Order ahead if you can

My roommate had been ranting and raving about this place for a while ago. Having not had access to a car until recently I had remained curious about 'The amazing place down on Oregon Ave!" I never expected anything great from a place so far into South Philly that doesn't deliver, but boy was I wrong. Having spent the last eating my way through every bean curd and broccoli dish in the city, I have to say this one is very close to the top of my list. The brown sauce that came atop my perfectly cooked bean curd and hardy pile of broccoli had such substance. It wasn't watery or overly salty. It seemed like there was effort placed into preparing the food, and for 5.00 that's hard to find. This place is totally worth the drive into the boondocks of South Philly!

Best Chinese food in Philly!!! They are super nice and very fast. If your a regular they will remember you. Only accepts cash (I think they have gift cards now) and take-out only.
(5)Mark N.
Best place to Order Chinease only bad thing is u got To pick it up , they don't deliver ! But def one of the best places in city to get a decent Chinease meal .... Service is always decent ,,
(5)Xiaochen Z.
I went to Philly for a conference for about 3 days. I tried many chinese restaurants at Chinatown. As a Chinese, I want to say that this one would beat many Chinese restaurants at Chinatown, although it's located at south Philly. Great food, excellent price...You won't regret if you try it. I had shrimp rice noodle soup there, and really enjoyed it!
(5)John G.
By far, the best Chinese take out in South Philly. We have ordered from them well over 100 times and have NEVER been disappointed. The food is always fresh and tasty. The combination platters are the best and very reasonably priced. The only down side is that getting your order on a Friday or Saturday evening does take a while, because of the volume of business they do. We do not order Chinese take out form any other place.
(5)Brian S.
Best Chinese food in South Philly hands down! Food is always excellent! Food is fast very short wait time. Never had a complaint. I wish they delivered but well worth the drive.
(5)Emma T.
Best Chinese delivery I've had in the city. My favorites: pork dumplings, General Tso's, beef lo mein. Also, super cheap for the amount you get. It's even good cold the next day.

This is one of south Philly best Chinese take out. After searching all over south Philly for a good Chinese take out the search is finally over as I have found my favorite Chinese take out. Everything I've had from here so far are tasty. I've had the general tso chicken, sesame chicken, wonton soup, egg drop soup, best hot and sour soup from chinese take out and their shrimp roll. I must say I'm a bit disappointed at the shrimp roll as I am expecting whole shrimp which are not found in it but its still tasty. The combination platter are well priced. You get a lot of food for your money. Although it comes with egg roll we always request to switch it to shrimp roll and never been an issue. Only one issue I had during my recent order was that I ordered a large wonton egg drop soup only to find that when I got home they did not give me any wonton. So since they don't deliver we had to take a trip back and when we got home found out they gave me a pint (small) wonton soup on the side so I felt like I've been rip off when indeed I paid for large. So when you pick up your food make sure you check to make sure all your food is there to prevent any issue like me. I normally check my food when I get to my car but this recent visit I placed the order and my fiends went to pick up the food otherwise we probably wouldn't have that problem.

Simply the best chinese takeout I've been to. You can tell the food is really good here by the amount of customers coming in and out. Considering the location is not that good. So call ahead of time to avoid waiting. The thing I really like about this restaurant is none of their food is pre-cooked and its made from scratch. Unlike many of the chinese take outs I've been to, premade. All the food they sell here is incredibly delicious. From chicken and brocolli, chicken wing, lo mein, to singapore noodles. So if your ever in South Philly and want an excellent chinese takeout, go here. Happy Eating!!
(5)Lucky K.
Probably the best take out restaurant I have been too. I've owned a Chinese take out so I know. Always fresh, consistent, and plentiful. I will not get take out anywhere else period in south Philly!
(5)John V.
Always Good .Take out only but very quick .Just call ahead and it will be ready when you get there.
(4)Dana C.
This place is great! Very busy call ahead so you do not have to wait .
(5)Keeda H.
Best take out EVER! We used to live in the area and would go weekly. We now moved about 1/2 an hour away but still make a trip down to South Philly to pick up Chinese Food from here every few months. We get the Lo Mein and egg fu yung pretty consistently. Also my husband loves the pizza rolls. Enjoy!
(5)Don R.
Ahh the beautiful and bustling Oregon Ave...hosting a jewel of fine Chinese Cuisine. Bottomline is this, if you want great Chinese takeout, consistently, great priced, and very well prepared....You want this place.. Full menu, staff hustles and gives you exactly what you want.... Sure there are others out there that might provide better ambiance and indoor ponds, but if it's simply "Take out" Chinese in South Philly...here ya go..fyi..it's takeout not delivery Highlights: Steamed Dumplings (prepared fresh, not the industry standard looking ones)
(4)Brandon S.
The food is great, but they are extremely slow and disorganized. Call to place your order, wait at least 30 minutes before going to pick it up, and double check before you leave. Avoid the busy times, like Saturday nights, too. Judging the food and portions, though, China House ranks very high for me.
