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.

A great authentic Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. As other yelpers have mentioned, it's literally a hole in a wall. There are roughly 4 tiny "tables" - if you can call it that - and their menu is one page, roughly 15 or so items. There are other options hand-written on a piece of paper, if you can read Chinese. Don't think there's anything here that costs more than $5, and service is very quick. Also be advised there is usually a language barrier here - just point to what you want on the menu, and you'll be fine. Typical food are noodle dishes, soups w/noodles and/or meatballs, appetizers such as taro root squares. Good option in Chinatown if you're on a budget.

Truly a hidden gem. The 10-seat restaurant is little more than a few tables and a counter--a seat or two of which are usually occupied by members of the owner's family busy at work on folding the tiny, incredibly delicate wontons. The wontons are incorporated in a soup that is representative of everything at this restaurant--rustic, but refined and delicious. The broth is light, and perfectly complements the transparent dumpling wrappers. Make sure to go for the noodles with peanut sauce, hot or cold. These dishes are put together with a touch I have experienced at no other Chinese restaurant. Enjoy the matching unique ambiance, as this cash-only, plastic-flatware hole in the wall is the ultimate dive Chinese food.

Yay! I found another place that sells good 'ban mian' - an authentic Fuzhounese dish that is basically noodles with peanut butter. And let me tell you, I LOVE peanut butter and noodles. Now that "Chinese Restaurant" has came along, I will be helping myself to a lot of 'ban mian' and its "Hong Kong-style wontons." I would like to set the record straight and say that this place is Fuzhounese - neither Taiwanese nor Cantonese (Hong Kong). There are a few Taiwanese-style dishes, but most, if not all, are Fuzhounese-style. The Chinese name for this place is "Tai Jiang Xiao Shi" and you can find this place easily if you are familiar with Empress Garden right next door. What we ordered: - Ban Mian, "Cold or Hot Noodle" - "Hong Kong-Style Wontons" This place is literally a hole-in-the-wall and they do not have much on the menu, but there are dumplings, noodles, noodle soups, and some other small eats. Everything was great! I wouldn't have minded seconds. All of the items are inexpensive and served quickly. I will definitely be back to try the others and get me some ban mian and wonton soup! FYI: I suggest not bringing everyone here because seating is very much limited during lunchtime!

I love pan-fried bao, taro cake, oyster cake, and wonton soup. The Best in Chinatown!

I agree with the other poster, this place is a pretty authentic experience if you want mainland Chinese food. Why did I go here? I'm not from Philly and I don't know my way around Chinatown and it happened to be the closest restaurant to my parking spot. This place specializes in dumplings and noodle soups, if you want something with rice you probably should pass on this. I went with the duck noodle soup which is essentially a wonton base with noodles, some really fresh greens, shitake mushrooms, and chunks of duck still on the bone. I spiced it up with some sriracha and devoured it, and yes I was the only white devil in the establishment. I loved the experience of it, felt like being in a foreign country, food was pretty fresh and pretty average honestly. It didn't have a particular style or flavor that was blow me away addictive, but the authenticity of it really felt like something you would get in PRC. The dumplings looked good too, food is pretty much between 3-6 dollars so it's a good value. But since it is relatively warm still outside, next time I'm going to find a rice place like the duck house across the street unless I'm ever in Philly in the winter. Oddly enough there's a place called Chinese Restaurant across the street, this location is the really small one between Empress Garden and the Seafood market.

Amid the Chinese characters, the white sign says, "Chinese Restaurant". Funny, cause this hole in the wall is in the middle of Chinatown. But to say this place is a hole in the wall is misleading. This puts all holes in the wall on notice. The dining area is closet-like and the open kitchen not much bigger. They serve food on styrofoam plates and bowls. And the food is plain. So why is this place always busy? Maybe because this is like many restaurants in the side alleys of Siping Lu in Shanghai. It's no accident most of the customers are from the PRC. We usually get the steamed dumplings (xiao long bao), fried rice cakes (called "sweet" rice cakes on the menu, even though there's nothing sweet about it), but everyone seems to get the Hot Noodles. Everything is pretty cheap. The dumplings aren' the best (skin is thicker than it should be and the meat bland), but for $4 for 6 dumplings, it's a good small lunch. The rice cakes are also bland and has the additional of scrambled eggs, which is unsual, but is filling enuf. All said, if you're out for cheap food and an authentic PRC or Taiwan experience, this is the place for you. This gets 2 stars from me, but my daughter begged me for one more.
