This restaurant served awesome food, when we're invited joining birthday's party of our friend.
The room is not too big but enough for 4 big table, provided karaoke with good sound systems .
I recommended this place for 30-40 people and satisfied with the service.
Very good food, large menu. The seafood all tasted really fresh.
Service was quick and friendly.
They're open late and are now my go-to late night chinatown pick. MUCH better than the other more 'well-known' late night options on the corner of 10th and Race.
Fresh, Tasty and FUN! I have a new "go-to" spot when I am craving authentic Chinese food at a reasonable price. I travel to Philadelphia often for business. This last go-round I was taken to Ocean Harmony on Race Street. First thing I noticed was just how fresh the protein dishes (especially seafood) happened to be. We ordered several dishes to share family-style. My ABSOLUTE favorite was the steamed crab over sticky rice. In fact my recollection of that dish is making my stomach growl in hunger as I type this review. The service was spot-on, non-rushed and beyond friendly. Of course the karaoke in the private room was great fun. Sure I sing like one of those steamed crabs but what the heck......it is about good food, good friends/family......and FUN! Very reasonably-priced and open fairly late as well. LOVED Ocean Harmony!
The food is top five BEST in China Town! Flavor and authenticity is spot on! Very expensive if eating alone but as a group it's great! Go with many people and have a blast. Small an clean environment, atmosphere is simple. They have fresh seafood on the premises in tanks. If u are a fan and looking for a place to get authentic Chinese this is the place or at least one of.
Food isn't the greatest in Chinatown but you'll have an amazing experience in the private rooms. New owner, so things are a bit yuppy. If you book a room, there is a $300 mininum per table. Hint* don't order the food packages, you're better off ordering a la carte and getting more food than the package and still room for more to spend. The waiters expect a 20% tip every single time, but for mediocre service. If the 20% isn't received, a dirty look is often accompanied after you leave
Pretty large menu of many items that one does not see at other Chinese restaurants. We ordered hot and sour soup that was reasonably priced and very tasty. The flavor was different than most of the other restaurants in chinatown but still pleasing. The Tofu with pork in hot pepper sauce was a bit different than the Mapo Tofu elsewhere, but none the less was quite tasty. The curry chicken was mild and slightly sweet but it was a little too heavy on the potatoes but still quite satisfying. Although this restaurant clearly appeals to the Asian community, we felt very welcome and the staff was friendly and attentive. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, "I'll be back."
Ocean Harmony is a solid restaurant in Chinatown that's open late. Food is good and the atmosphere is fairly nice. They have karaoke upstairs so sometimes it can get a little loud.
Very reasonably priced. Authentic and very delicious. The portions are large. No way your leaving hungry here. Highly recommend dining here.
Beautifully presented, delicious authentic Chinese cuisine. Open late and affordable. Still quite underground so get into it while you can!
