Tai Lake

Your typical traditional nice Chinese dinner for the family out or special occasions. Their family dinner specials are really great. (10 ppl for $300, $400, $500 choices) which are great. They even allowed some dishes to be swapped out because one of our guests has a slight seafood allergy and they let us change 2 of the dishes! Which was great. Overall great experience. It’s one of our go - to’s with big family outings.

One of our favorite places in Chinatown, more authentic as opposed to the takeout. Perfect for groups, service always good, the food, the space, come with a group of at least 5 people, get a round table perfect for ordering family style is always the best so you can have my dishes at once, all the classics always so good.

Everything here was on point! When you first walk in they have all their fresh live seafood on display, then the dining room is elegant and inviting. The service was prompt and they were friendly and welcoming. We ordered steamed oysters for and fried dumplings for an appetizer. The oysters were some of the biggest I've ever had, but the were steamed to perfection and seasoned with a bit of soy sauce along with chopped herbs on top, perfect combination. The dumplings were on point as well😋 for my main course I had shrimp stir fry, it was a super simple dish but done well. I want to come back and try some of the more exotic dishes they offer👍

Solid place for Chinese Food in Philadelphia’s Chinatown. We had the lobster with sticky rice and seafood in a bird’s nest and both were very good. We were disappointed in the snail dish only because they were a lot of work to fish out and eat. Service was much better than I would have expected. We had two and they were both very attentive, recommend dishes, and made sure that we were comfortable throughout our meal (new/clean dishes, consistent refills and regularly checked in on us).
