Daleng Restaurant

We had the most amazing experience yesterday This restaurant was on my to do list This establishment is undergoing a renovation due to a fire. When we walked in we were told take out only There was a small counter and since we were not close to home, we decided to eat that way. The staff (all family) were just so friendly we thought we were in a home kitchen. Food arrived and we were offered a seat in the (not yet )staffed dining room. They came to check, offered background music. They even asked what genre. O k we are feeling really chill, the food is amazing, it's hot outside and we are having an alfresco air conditioned experience, listening to jazz, loving the food and chatting with one of family members Pad Thai and summer rolls, it doesn't get any better. We can't wait to go back

Daleng is a truly excellent local spot. The owners are very kind and we love to support a family owned business! Try the summer rolls and Tang Tang chicken wings. Pad Thai is also excellent here. They do not play around with spice which I also appreciate! Anything above a level 4 is very spicy so proceed with caution :)

They are back open and a renovated dining room will be open soon after years of take out only. My favorite pad thai in the area, and the people working here are always very nice to me. Happy they were able to reopen after being closed for so long.

Best tofu bahn mi I've had since moving back to west Philly! Nice little spot, not putting on airs.

My go-to for Asian takeout in West Philly! I order pickup in advance and the only time it wasn't ready on arrival was when they first open at 4pm. My greatest hits: 1. Chow Fun in gravy with Chinese kale and tofu 2. Tang Tang wings, no rice and extra spice (mop up the sauce with broccoli) 3. Kroeng stir fry with anything 4. Singapore Mei Fun with shrimp I don't really drink but there's a ton of beers in the case behind the counter including Evil Genius.

My family got a to go order from here while in the area from out of town. Some of our family are vegan so this was a great spot for a convenient delicious meal. I just want to let you know we ordered 7 things off of the menu I tasted some of everything and I thought everything was good. We ordered veggie spring rolls and the shrimp summer rolls. Both of these came with sauces I only tried the peanut sauce with the summer rolls. The sauce was a little runny but good flavor. Both appetizers were tasty. I got a Char Sui Banh Mi. Because we are in Philly I was expecting a sandwich that was packed full. It wasn't but it had great flavor which made me happy I would order it again. For the meals we got Tang Tang chicken with tofu fried rice, 2 pad Thai's one spicy with shrimp one mild with tofu, and a shrimp lo mien. The standouts were the tofu fried rice and tofu pad Thai. I thought both were extremely good. The only thing I would not order again is the lo mein it was not bad everything else was just so much better. The Tang Tang chicken had great flavor and was still good after the 15min in the car. My only complaint is the amount of shrimp in the dishes and the meat in the sandwich. With that being said I would go back to this place because the flavors at this place are great,

Really delicious meal, but be careful about the spice level you ask for. I usually have a high spice tolerance, and I have never found anything "too spicy", so coming here, when they asked for the spice level that I wanted, I was too cocky. They gave me the options from 1-10, or an 11 if I really wanted it spicy. I chose to get an 11 for my crispy Fried chicken wings, and it was way way too spicy. The chicken was covered in chili seeds. It was delicious, but after two wings, it was a very painful kind of delicious.

I've ordered and picked up food from Daleng countless times before and it's always been amazing! However tonight I ordered from them and got steamed broccoli as a side with my meal. I ate a few bites and then discovered maggots! HOW do you miss that? Do they not wash their vegetables? Do they not pay attention when preparing the food? I work at a restaurant and I understand that food service is not always perfect. But this is just so gross. I received a refund for the broccoli which is nice but I definitely I won't be ordering from here again.

This was my first time here and my food was so good . I will be going back . Looking forward to trying more of ther

Food: 4 Out of 5 My partner and I ordered the stir fry for Cambodian beef and Tom Yum for dinner. Flavors were good. I wished the spice level matched what I'm used to! Great lunch spot for sure. Environment: N/A Ordered to go Service: N/A Ordered to go Overall: 4 Out 5 I'm definitely willing to go back to enjoy the restaurant to it's full extent and ask the servers for the "hidden" menu items. Give this West Philly gem a try!

Food is sub-par, customer service is even worse. Thankfully they only do to go offerse so you won't realize the food isn't worth what you're paying for until you're already home. Go anywhere else.

Daleng is our absolute favorite! We used to get takeout at least once a week. Please open again soon, Daleng! We miss you!

Excellent! I've ordered takeout and delivery from here multiple times. Some of the best pad thai I've had in the city--delicious, citrusy, juicy. The banh mis were so, so good too. Fresh bread. Right amount of sauce. I've also ordered catering from Daleng for work for about 10-15 people. They delivered on time, and our orders were individually-wrapped portions that were so filling. So easy to work with and get the invoice from.

I spontaneously found Daleng on Yelp while on vacation. That's great!! We have vegetarian spring rolls, There is chicken curry with basil and beef tomato curry. The ingredients are fresh, the spices rich and complex, Phil, The host is as friendly as can be. Friendly atmosphere with Asian cuisine.

Delicious Thai iced tea!! Their pad thai is also excellent and they give you the ability to select how spicy you would like it on a 1 - 10 scale.

Never disappoints! Though I hope they will re-expand their indoor seating someday. As it is they have a few small tables inside by the pick-up window and a few outside, but the dining area remains closed.

I love Daleng! My fave restaurant in West Philly. I miss it so much since it's been closed! Hoping it will reopen soon!

Been here twice now, late at night, right before close and every time has been top notch service as well as food. Everyone who works here is so friendly and knowledgeable. The food is picture perfect. I had a pork bahn mi, the spring rolls and an iced tea. I'll take pictures next time.

This is such an awesome spot! Tasty, affordable food with outstanding service... what is there not to like? I had trouble deciding what to eat this Saturday when I came across Daleng in my bookmarks. It was a bit out of the way, but I'm glad we made the trek. The food was delicious! The crispy pork spring rolls were indeed very crispy. The filling was pretty standard and reminiscent of egg rolls (not Vietnamese style as in the menu description), but the whoever wrapped these should get an award for creating the most tightly wrapped and perfectly cylindrical spring rolls out there. They are fried so evenly that the the level of crispiness is uniform throughout the entire roll. They were good with the sweet and spicy sauce provided. The entrees were also very good. Michael F and I shared the Daleng Fried Shrimp and the Eggplant & Veggie Curry. Both items came with a generous portion of rice. The fried shrimp (10 pieces) was very crispy, while the curry had a decent amount of veggies immersed in a flavorful coconut curry sauce, which went well with the rice. To complement our meal, we got Thai milk tea and Hong Kong milk tea (with tapioca balls). Both were good. Curious, I also got a can of sugar cane drink; it tastes like sugar syrup and water, but was cool to try. They also have other Asian drinks in their cooler, such as chrysanthemum tea (which I recommend!). All of the entrees are under $10. Definitely adding this to my list of regular restaurants!

Daleng has been on our list for a while, and after our first visit I'm pretty upset at ourselves for taking so long to check it out because it was so delicious! We started off with the crispy fried veggie rolls which were freshly fried and delicious (which is why there are no photos, we inhaled it). I opted for the Tang Tang chicken which was both sweet and spicy, and you can adjust the spice level custom from a level 1 through 10. The wings were fried perfectly crispy, hot tender juicy meat on the inside and served with rice . Although I enjoyed this dish, I probably will personally not order it again only due to personal preference. I usually consider wings more like a snack/appetizer versus a meal - but I do recommend the dish, it's delicious! My partner got the cambodian stir fry, and you can substitute any protein. The dish is so savory, packed with flavor, keeping you back for more - he and I both wiped the plate clean. One thing we both appreciated a lot about the menu, is the versatility of being able to swap out proteins, especially for us vegetarians or flexitarians - this is one of those restaurants where we are so happy, because we can eat almost 80% of the menu, instead of the usual 1 or 2 things off the menu. We can't wait to come back, there were so many dishes we wanted to try - it was hard to choose! That's a good problem to have There are only a few minor constructive criticisms that led to me knocking down 1 star. One is that they were unfortunately out of boba when I ordered, not a huge deal but just something to mention. The second is that they use single use plastic forks, knives, utensils etc at the restaurant which generates so much waste. I understand not all businesses are able to do so, but I would love to see some green initiatives. Outside of that, I can't wait to come back and eat some more! I might honestly bring my own utensils as long as they don't mind...

Open during COVID-19! I was craving Thai food and wanted to try out a new restaurant. Daleng did not disappoint. I order the Pad Thai, Tom Yum fried rice, and Tom Yum stir fry. I got the Pad Thai with level 3 spice and it was so spicy! I am generally able to handle spicy foods, but this was on the edge of too spicy. Just beware when asking for the dishes to be spicy! The Tom Yum fried rice had good flavor, but could use more of that fried oniony taste. And the the Tom Yum chicken stir fry was tasty and went well with the rice. Both of those dishes weren't spicy although it was noted as spicy on the menu. Next time I'm craving Thai, I will be back!

This place is NEVER open when I want. Pff maybe some day Pho Hoagies No open have I made it to enough characters for a review yet?

Ordered for take out and went to pick it up. When I walked in, the most obvious thing was that the portions are way bigger if you eat in. The food on the menu is from multiple areas in Asia, and I loved being able to dip my banh mi into a thai curry with so many veggies and pieces of beef. It was surprisingly spicy which was exactly what I asked for. The banh mi was better than I've had in a while, with the fresh vegetables and the jalapenos making it crisp, and the pork flavors and bread made me crave another. Not too expensive of an option compared to other Thai places. Came again and ate in-- the portions were bigger and the pad thai was on point! Will be my go to place for refreshing sandwiches this summer.

My friend and I ordered pick up from this restaurant recently and everything was delicious. My friends had the Ting Ting wings which was so crispy and the sauce on top was delicious as well. It was like a mix of garlic honey sauce kind of..very good. I had the Chicken Pad Thai which was very good! I comes with peanuts and Totu so if you don't like that then I suggest modifying your order when you place it! My boyfriend got the garlic pork chops which was SO GOOD!!! Definitely ordering that next time. The portions are decent and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant as a must try if you are ever in the Philadelphia- University City area. They even offer drinks to go and they have their own liquor store attached to it which is very convenient!

Small, unassuming little spot in the West Philly neighborhood, with dishes that pack big flavor. I was so happy to see that Daleng is open amidst the pandemic - the perfect spot to continue supporting neighborhood businesses, while simultaneously getting your Southeast Asian food fix on. The shrimp summer rolls are my favorite - light, fresh, and served with the yummiest peanut dipping sauce. The Singapore Mei Fun is another staple - the noodle/protein combo is filling, without being too heavy. You really can't go wrong with any of the dishes at Daleng, especially for the price point. And if you can't swing by in person to pick up your food, there's the added bonus that they deliver via GrubHub.

5 stars because I can definitely see myself coming back regularly! The price is low, dishes simple but flavorful, staff friendly, and ambience casual and peaceful. You pay up front and grab water for yourself. We ordered: + summer roll with shrimp (had just a hint of basil) + pepper steak with onions (I liked that the sauce wasn't heavy, tasted great with the rice it came with) + Singapore Mei fun (curry flavor was light, great blend of veggies with rice noods) I also tried the Thai iced tea, which was a bit too sweet for me, but pretty ok! My boyfriend is a big fan of this place after our dinner tonight. The food is the kind of simple, no frills meal that my mom might make. Will definitely be back!

Always loved the food from this restaurant and miss it greatly since its closure in November, 2022 due to a tragic house fire next door. I have no idea what place Lisa L reviewed but it's been closed since. If anyone has any info on when it might reopen, there's many people in the neighborhood asking the same question.

Banh Mi. Yup that's the first word that pops in my head when I think of Daleng. Sure they serve other types of tasty food, but that sandwich...is pretty good. Its not the biggest Banh Mi I've had locally or the cheapest, but its arguably the tastiest one I've ever had overall. There's not a terrible amount of cilantro like I would usually prefer. There's not alot of meat / protein on it either. But the way they make the protein, and portion the veggies out at just the right amount to compliment the amount of bread is so well thought out. And I hate to sound so dramatic about a sandwich but what's a food review without a little drama? Oh...and the bubble tea is good. :-)

Overall, my experience at Daleng was very good. What I loved most about my time here was the chicken banh mi, which is the best banh mi that I've had in recent memory. I've eaten their banh mi from a catered event, but eating it fresh from the kitchen sealed the deal. The other thing we ate was the eggplant and vegetable curry, which was just okay in my opinion. My only criticism for the curry was that it lacked a strong flavor profile. Additionally, the service was great and the server, who was also manning the front, was very attentive and hospitable. The food was filling and at a reasonable price. I would definitely come back!

Daleng has changed their menu again. Prices went up a little as to be expected. The charge to upgrade from steamed rice to fried rice has tripled though which is very disappointing. However, I love the new menu additions, so I guess things balance out. There are now more choices to swap out proteins. A someone who doesn't eat beef or pork, this change has opened up a lot of new menu options for me. For instance, the Cambodian stir fry that used to only come with beef, can now be done with chicken, tofu, or shrimp. It was amazing with tofu and has so much flavor! They also will adjust the heat level on a scale of 1 to 10. I got an 8 which was spicy but not hot in my opinion. As someone raised in the south, I don't find anything in Philly hot heat wise though, so keep that in mind when ordering. My husband thought it was plenty hot for him. They also have have sweet and sour Vietnamese soup. We had it with shrimp and it comes with a side of rice. It was nice and tangy with plenty of shrimp. The vegetable curry is still my favorite dish here due to the perfectly cooked vegetables and balanced flavor, but the Cambodian stir fry is now a close second. The Thai tea is always excellent. If you haven't been to Daleng yet, you should give it a try!

I've only had delivery-takeout from Daleng but they are super yummy, have great service, and are wonderful to work with for catering orders! Will definitely work with them again soon

So good. Got take out tonight and it was such a great decision. I got the chicken and vegetable curry, extra spicy and the tang tang chicken. The curry is a spicy item on their menu so when I asked for extra spice they requested a number from 1 to 10. I asked for an eight and an eight it was. It was delicious. Flavorful, peanut-y and the perfect heat. The tang tang chicken was good as well. Such good flavor. Not really crispy, which was off-putting at first, but that concern melted away when my mouth was delighted with flavor. I made a note to keep this in mind more for take out. (Although, the place is really sweet, so dining in is good too.) It's delicious. I also need to mention how friendly the staff is. It's a sweet spot. And I was told when I went to pick up my food that they are currently working on opening a bar in the back. I'm excited for that. This is a great spot. Try it.

Where did date night take us this time? Well, I was craving a good homecooked meal. I wanted something comforting so I suggested that we go get Thai/Cambodian food. Daleng Restaurant was the place I choose. Never been here before, we usually opt for Pattaya Restaurant closer to campus. First impression was that the restaurant owners are really friendly and funny. The place is a bit small but cozy. I loved how they were playing that 70's show on tv, so that definitely added to the "homey" vibe. We got shrimp summer rolls to start off as an app. I decided to order the "Cambodian beef kroeung" and my boyfriend got the "Chicken and veggie curry". Both spice level was 3. At first I chose my spice level as a 4, but the restaurant owner suggested that I should do a 3 instead since it can get really spicy. I'm glad I did because all the food was just perfect. Very flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. Only thing I would change is that I wished the Cambodian beef kroeung had more beef, instead it was overwhelmed with bell peppers and veggies. I wanted more beef and by the time I finished the beef there were still plenty of veggies left. Definitely can't wait to come back and try other Southeast Asian dishes. Perfect place for a chilled date night :)

Daleng is a cute restaurant with good food and really phenomenal service. I've eaten in as well as ordered pick up and delivery from here and was really impressed with their customer service each and every time. There's a variety of southeast asian food - everything from pho, singapore mei fun to pad thai. They also have a nice selection of viet coffee and bubble teas. So far everything has been fresh and delicious! I would say the only downside is that they're a bit pricey compared to other places. About $12 for pho dac biet and $8 for a banh mi. Not exactly the prices I'd like to pay for either items but other than that, solid spot for a quick meal!

I'd highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice Thai fusion restaurant with extremely responsible prices. I've been here twice in the past week and I'm loving it. The service is really friendly and you can tell they have experience interacting with the diverse group of people who come in this establishment. It's a huge plus that not only do people from West Philly come to this place, but also university city students and dwellers alike. It really brings the neighborhoods together. The food is fantastic. I'm a vegetarian, so I got the Tom Yum Fried rice the first time and the Chow Fun noodles with tofu. Both were delicious. I highly recommend the Chow Fun noodles with tofu. I was very nervous about the tofu because the texture can be hit or miss. Well here, it's a hit because it's lightly fried on the outside with a chicken like texture inside. I can't wait to try the other dishes with tofu too. Also re: spicy level, be careful. I got a level 4 and I love spice and it was at the top of what I like for a meal. My bf got a 6 level and he has a high tolerance for spice. Even he had to take breaks in between bites. I'll say this, his sinuses are cleared right up :) In sum, give this place a try. Drop in, have a beer, eat some good food and chat with some of your neighbors; you'll love it!

I went in today for a quick lunch. I ordered tofu banh mi - it's not on their menu, but i thought I'd just ask. The waiter said they could definitely make it, they recently updated their menu and it's incomplete. The banh mi was good! Made with mayonnaise and the bread was toasted crispy. The place is small but nicely kept, clean and comfortable, good for quick lunches and small groups (2-4). Interesting thing on the menu: You can choose spice level 1-10. I'll definitely come back again!

Love there diverse selection. Love their curry and pho dish. They have a Cambodian beef dish that tastes so authentic. Thai tea, bubble tea and smoothies....reasonably priced and good service. I'll be back!

Had pretty high expectations for this place seeing all the high ratings and have to say it 100% met them. It looks like most of their business comes from pickup or takeout but we happily sat in. The restaurant itself is small but cute with string lights attached across the ceiling. The staff are super friendly and were extremely attentive. We ordered the shrimp pad Thai, Hong Kong milk tea, and the Cambodian stir fry vegetarian with tofu (you have to ask for no fish sauce!!). My friend loved her pad thai, which looked like it had more soy sauce than the traditional pad thai you'd see at Thai Singha or Pattaya. The Hong Kong milk tea is arguably the best we've had in Philly. It was rich and stronger, but not too sweet and the boba was delicious. I ordered the stir fry medium spicy but will definitely do a 7-8 next time instead of 5 (out of 10)! It was still absolutely delicious especially the peanut and lemongrass flavors combined. Next time I'm going to try the noodles and she'll get the tang tang chicken. Also price-wise each dish is ~$10 including tax for a significant portion.

A sure five stars for being a wonderful spot all around! Daleng is a welcome addition to the West Philly neighborhood, with very friendly easygoing owners. They are a simple local establishment with a casual no-frills type of interior (including self-serve water and ordering at the counter), and can easily accommodate groups. It offers bargain prices for a variety of different Thai/Chinese/Cambodian food with solid portions - what more can you ask for? :) I had the garlic pork chops based on a friend's recommendation, and it was delicious! Even though it was slightly salty (but I generally tend to find everything kinda salty), I really enjoyed my dish and the bites I had of my friends' as well. My friend especially loved his beef and carrot stew, and ate almost every last drop of it. I had heard about Daleng through friends at church, since our church is around the corner, and I'm so glad that so many of us are patrons of this local business for their delicious food now. We loved talking to the kind amiable owners, and plan on visiting again soon!

Amazing little gem in the area. If you have been to university city or West Philly, you will realize how rare it is to find Southeast Asian cuisines. Most of the market are Chinese. This place deserve a star just for existing. At Daleng's, you can get Thai, Vietnamese and Cambodian food, and all for a bargain. This restaurant itself is small but comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu. We opted for chow fun with beef in gravy, chicken and veggie curry, pork egg rolls, a small and a large Thai tea with one can of chrysanthemum tea. So first of all, let's talk about how much that cost us. We had an order of 5 egg rolls plus the chow fun and curry with rice with one thai tea at the restaurant and two drinks to go. All that for 2 people was $32!! How do you beat this price? An amazing deal! The chow fun was pretty good, the gravy was sweet and savory without overpowering. The beef was tender and they gave just the right amount of food. The curry was very pleasant, it was light and I don't mean in flavor, it felt light and good unlike some curry where it's heavy and thick. The flavor was more akin to massaman curry but more soupy. The egg rolls were super crunchy and spanking hot. It was such a deal to get 5 egg rolls for 4.75. Most Vietnamese places charge $5 for 2! The chef came out to check on us multiple times and made sure we felt at home. A rarity for the location, great authentic food, awesome services and cheap eats. While there may be a lot of good restaurants around town, on this block, Daleng is the best and is highly recommended.

A gem in West Philly! The family and I stayed at the nearby West Lofts (Air BnB) and were excited to see such a high-rated restaurant on the same block. There aren't a lot of nearby options and this joint delivered with all kinds of goodies. The pad thai was excellent - they don't use ketchup in the recipe which is my preference - and my wife and kid had the spring rolls (very good) and pork chop (excellent). The chicken and broccoli was a good straightforward dish with great broth and their banh mi drew raves from the family. Fantastic!

Ordered pickup from this place. The pan roasted chicken thighs were perfectly cooked with tons of flavor. Fairly priced and quickly prepared for pickup. Love the Asian fusion they do here that doesn't feel Americanized. A nice gem in West Philly, will most definitely be back!

I didn't have the pleasure of eating in the actual restaurant but if the experience inside is anything like takeout, I will definitely be visiting soon. I ordered the wings with fried rice and the Tang Tang wings. Both were crispy, fried to perfection and delicious. If you prefer more of a plain, dry chicken, the plain wings are your choice. Paired with the fried rice, it was a great combination. The fried rice tasted like it was made with love. Not saturated with soy sauce or excessive salt. The Tang Tang wings were the perfect combination of sweet and tangy! When the food arrived it was nice and hot. If a restaurant impressed you with takeout you know it will be good inside.

Very delicious. Always spot on whenever you need it. I always order the fried chicken and veggie fried rice. Very quick and kind staff.

This sort of hole in the wall is close by public transit. It's limited in seating and staff, so it can be a bit awkward and quiet, but the food is amazing. The price for the portion size and flavor is good. I had the fried chicken wings with plain fried rice. The chicken was so crispy and well seasoned and the fried rice had a Smokey salty flavor. It was one of the best fried rices I've had in a while. I went with a friend. Her food as also good and filling. Would def go again. I would even say I crave it sometimes and I'm not even from that the city. 4/5 because food was great but service and atmosphere was a litttttle awkward. But def worth a visit.

Definitely a place with great taste at such great value. I've always gotten the fried chicken with pork fried rice combo.....which has always been consistently good. Everything is fresh and made to order. The price is so very reasonable also. Definitely affordable, which making daily consistent trips do-able. My friends usually get the tangtang chicken and friend rice, which is also very good. Another "go to" is their smooties! they use real fresh fruits, with a choice of regular milk, almond or soy milk. It takes them a little while to make but definitely worth it...within the west philly area!

Big portion sizes, attention to detail with packaging of the takeout (perfectly sized bag, complementary candy, utensils, etc), great flavor and equally great prices. Def try the tom yum fried rice with pork.

A cool find! I've driven down Walnut St before but never really noticed this place. When I googled 'thai food near me' this place was one of the first restaurants that popped up. Short menu but everything is well made and well seasoned!! We ordered shrimp summer rolls, Thai tom yum chicken (served with white rice) and chicken & veggie curry (served with white rice). We were very pleased to get so much food for just $20. We will be ordering from them again!! Also the staff were super friendly.

My feelings about my experiences with Daleng are very mixed. I'm willing to chalk that up to the fact that I've only done takeout, while most of the reviews and photos (which heightened my expectations) were based on eat-in experiences. The pros: highly flavored, completely delicious on both entrees that I've tried, specifically the Eggplant and Veggie Curry and the Cambodian Stir Fry with Tofu. The sauce on the eggplant and veggie curry is so good that I could just pour that on a plate of brown rice and happily call it a meal. The tofu in the Cambodian Stir Fry is well prepared, there's lots of lemongrass, which I love, and the the vegetables in both are so thoroughly cooked that every bite is a melt-in-your-mouth party of tender vegetables, flavorful sauce and fluffy rice. The service is friendly and quick, and for eat-in it looks like they have a good drink selection with really good prices. So I definitely want to have an eat-in experience here. The not-so-pros: In spite of other reviews claiming the contrary here, the portion sizes are not really that generous. I feel like for the price, the portions might have been what you would expect for a lunch portion from a restaurant that was less "takeout-esque" (borrowing Karen X's brilliant wordplay there) than Daleng. They don't really pack the takeout containers, which is understandable because there's A LOT of sauce and it was spilling out even from the 3/4 filled containers. The amount of rice was a little harder to forgive though; the cup-sized cartons were only partially filled to the top, and there were gaps at the bottom of the container (so not even packed in). Again, probably not a problem if you were to do an eat-in meal, but not great for what I'd expect from a takeout carton of rice. When similar sized takeout containers from most places provide enough for two generous meals for me, and from here the containers provide about half of that, I can't help noticing. All that said, I will almost definitely still be doing both takeout and eat-in here. My husband tried the vegetarian banh mi and was underwhelmed, so maybe I'll just stick to their stir fries (and gotta try the spring rolls too). That eggplant and vegetable curry will definitely be a permanent favorite.

I am so happy Daleng came into West Philly neighbourhood! I literally go here almost every week. I love their Tang Tang Chicken, chicken fried rice, beef kroeung stir fry, vegetable curry, and various banh mi! Seriously, you can't really go wrong with this place. Fresh ingredients, great flavour, wonderful and friendly owners, and a clean space. I almost always get their Hong Kong milk tea. It tastes very similar to the real milk tea you get in Hong Kong and it's my treat every time I go there. I used to get cold, but I realized I like hot milk tea better. If you do go, make sure you try different dishes. This place isn't an Asian fusion place like other Asian restaurants. The owner actually lived in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand, and she brings her special cooking skills to this restaurant.
