A gem. The broth of both soups were so well developed and soothing. Wish they had a more noodles but that could have just been a wish. The potions, taste, service, environment, all of it worked well. Best scallion pancakes in Chinatown and the Taiwanese fried chicken was better than all the places I’ve ever had it, except Taiwan.
A gem within easy walking distance of the PA convention center, but far enough into Chinatown you can walk in for a weekend meal without an excessive wait. The nan xiang soup dumplings (pork) are delicious; so are the pan fried version. Fair prices, good portions, and good food. I was impressed how well orders of the steamed and fried soup dumplings traveled back to the convention center in January (still warm when we got back to the con hall!). Will be back.
Visited here with my friend. Honestly with our Taiwanese pallet, the beef noodle soup was severely lacking flavour ... and mapo tofu did not look nor taste like mapo tofu... Possibly the dishes better fits the pallet of nan zhou (the area of origin)?
But the service was truly amazing and everyone was so welcoming to us and even refunded the price of a dish we didn't touch, so despite our disappointment in the dishes... We really appreciated the experience.
Enjoyed the scallion pancake :)
Not sure if this was a turnkey business with a new owner, but the food was delicious. We ordered the Taiwanese noodles, braised pork rice, and marinated beef tripe. The owner was very nice and caring as well so that made the experience so much better.
Small restaurant in the heart of Chinatown with decent menu. A good selection of Pho inspired noodle dishes with a variety of options. The best or the hand-drawn noodles which are spectacular and fresh tasting.
The soup dumplings are not the best I had but are still pretty tasty. The scaling pancake was probably one of the best scaling pancakes I've ever had.. everything was served up fresh and hot with friendly service at a fair price.
4.5 stars. The food was pretty good. The noodles had a weird texture, but my wife said that's common with the type of noodles. The vegetables in the food were fresh.
The hand-drawn noodles were great! I had stir-fried, and my ladies had the sliced beef soup with hand-drawn noodles. They asked on our way in if we wanted iced water or hot tea. I asked for hot tea, and when I got it it was room temperature. I asked if I could get it hotter and the waitress took our tea cups and came back with them a minute later, just barely warmer. That was the only frustration with this place. 😊
Overall, it’s not a bad place for dim sum. Service was fast and they have a large menu. Most of the dishes were tasty. My favorite was their soup dumplings. They were delicious! My biggest complaint is the lack of sauce for everything. The flavors are great, but it needs an extra something to make it that much better. I wish the fried squid came with some sauce. Same for the spring rolls. Even the noodles needed some more sauce! When we asked the kitchen as the noodles came out pretty dry and with little meat, they told us it was not possible. The prices were a little high for the portions. Overall, it was decent, but I would not return unless there was more sauce added.
Very comparable to Nan Zhou, with a few minor details. The noodles are delicious, a little more "doughy" than Nan Zhou. The chili oil was definitely better (spicier, with a big peppercorn kick and more sesame seeds) at Heng Feng though, and their takeout packaging is better too. Might be my new take out place for hand drawn noodles!
The fried rice with pork was the best of the ones we ask for. The fried chicken is good for kids. Good price and there wasn’t a lot of people so it was very quiet. We were 7 people and we had a check of $81
