Must try dumplings and beef noodle soup. Small little coffee place with cozy decor. Mrs. Chen service is your Asian auntie that wants to make sure you're well fed with good food and leave with a smile. Her homemade cheesecake is also delicious. Must try when in Chinatown Philly.
I'm so glad I found this quaint teahouse in Philly Chinatown! I only ordered siphon coffee and spring rolls, but I they both were delicious! The coffee was served in a beautiful cup and saucer with a small creamer pitcher and a cookie. The spring rolls were mouth-watering! I didn't feel rushed, ev
Best cup of coffee I have ever had. I had a Japanese Sumiyaki vacuum siphon. Incredible. This place has been open since the 80s and was probably the first place in the US to have Japanese vacuum siphon coffee back when coffee was 60 cents at a diner. I talked to the owner and her son. Amazing story
Lovely, cozy family establishment with delicious homemade food! We had the tomato chicken fried rice, sweet and sour soup, and veggie dumplings. Everything was amazing and the dumplings are the best I've ever had. You can really taste the love!
The dumplings and drinks were amazing! I audibly swore after the first bite, they were that good.
And of course the food is the most important part, but the rest was just as good! The cafe was comfortable and clean. Service was exceptional and the presentation of everything was impressive, the best
As a Taiwanese American, finding Ray’s cafe has been such a blessing and well-worth the over one hour drive. Upon entering the cafe, you’ll see that it’s a perfect blend of the Asian American experience ranging from the food options to the atmosphere. Sprinkled throughout the cafe, there are so many
This place is a hidden local gem in Philly Chinatown!! The place is small & crowded but it’s a family owned restaurant and all the food are prepared in real-time, so be aware of going for lunch during the busy time! But it was worth it to wait for freshly prepared food! The sesame shrimp was freshly
My friend accidentally discovered this nice place during our short stay in Philadelphia.
We were amazed the second we walked in the door, nice decor with the superior snell from the freshly brewed coffee.
Both of had the beef noodle stew dish and happened to be the last two for the day (we were ther
We had the Taiwanese beef noodle soup and the dumpling sampler. The soup is literally the best soup I've ever had. The depth of flavor is incredible. The tea and coffee are delicious. Service and presentation are great. I would go back any day!
This is truly a hidden local gem. Everything we tried was the best we’ve had from the noodles to the coffee. The beef noodle soup was the best I’ve tried (even from Taiwan). The oolong tea was brewed to perfection and they don’t skimp on the tea leaves. The curry shrimp noodles were also amazing! Ra
This is hands down my favorite coffee shop in Philly. They family running Ray’s has made incredible coffee since the 80’s. There where one of the first shops in the US to bring siphon coffee from Japan and they have truly mastered how to make great coffee. The food is also solid. Where else can you
Ray was so nice and welcoming and Zin was super polite also. really nice ambiance 10/10. Food was so delicious and coffee came with a little macroon. I got the dumpling sampler and taiwanese beef noodle soup. Def reccommend.
Fantastic siphon coffee. I was so excited because I had never had siphon coffee before, and it came out so smooth and clean. And the two coffees I tried, the Sumiyaki and 3 Hawaiian, were so gorgeous and flavorful. Thank you for such a pleasant experience!
When you walk in, you feel like you are stepping into a home, welcoming you in for a seat in their dining room. In one meal, you see just how much the people at Ray's cares about everyone who steps in their doors. It seems like every person is picking up on a conversation like they have known each o
We went in for tea and a little food. We had the Lu Shan Oolong Black Tea, and it was delicious! We also had the dumpling sampler and some vegetable spring rolls. All delicious. Highly recommend!
The highlight of Rays is definitely their coffee and tea. The only place I know of in the city that serves Siphon coffee. The atmosphere is very cozy, it feels like your in someone's dining room and feels relaxed. Unfortunately the food was overpriced for me to regularly eat here. The ingredients we
I am eternally grateful to work so close to Ray’s. The slow drip cold brew is a revelation and the dumplings are so fresh and tasty. On my nonprofit pay I can’t make daily visits, but every penny I’ve spent there has been worth it. I hope Grace can continue caffeinating and feeding the neighborhood
Charming, cozy, colorful cafe with great selection of coffees. Soup that sticks to your bones. And delicious spring rolls. Can't wait to return!
We love everything we ordered. Authentic Taiwanese beef noodle soup made us nostalgic for home. If you’re in the area you should definitely try!
