Chinese restaurant · Chinatown

"In Chinatown, David’s Mai Lah Wah is the late-night capital of Philadelphia, staying open until 3 a.m. This is by no means the best Chinese food in Philly, but as other options dwindle, it definitely hits the spot. Come for the fried dumplings and salt-and-pepper wings, stay for the people-watching." - Carolyn Desalu, Sarah Maiellano, Rachel Vigoda
