The 20 Best Restaurants In West Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"There are a few reasons why this spot is a must-try, and it's not just the buttery crab rangoons and crackly-sweet General Roscoe’s chicken. It's the only place in town that blends Chinese American and soul food together in one counter-service shop. In fact, it's a combination that works so well that people wait upwards of 30 minutes just to get their hands on it. When you're off the clock, stop by for the saucy wings and curry-spiced lamb skewers we’ve dreamed of since our first visit. The weekdays are the goal at this West Philly soul food-Chinese hybrid. They open at noon daily, and on the weekend, it's swamped with 30 cousins grabbing crab rangoons and couples ordering spicy chicken skewers for a game night later. On a Tuesday early afternoon, the chances of you walking away with an order is 100%—except if it includes oxtail. That's (almost) always sold out." - candis mclean
