Heng Feng Hand Drawn Noodles

This establishment offers three main category of Chinese cuisines: Dim Sum, Noodles, and Traditional entrees. So if you can't decide, try all three! Although their menu is not as diversified as other dim sum places in Chinatown, all the dishes that we've ordered were quite tasty. Service was quick, as we waited just a few minutes before dishes were being served. Portions were generous as well. Be aware that some of the photos on their menu/signs did not match the actual entrees served. So if you have a dish that you really wanted to try out, make sure you get a confirmation with the staff on what it is you've actually ordered. This place do take credit cards as well as cash. But on credit cards, they have a minimum of $ 25 order. So make sure you have cash if you stop by for a quick bite.

Fantastic hand drawn noodles in Chinatown! Delicious flavors, fresh ingredients, and friendly service. A must-visit for an authentic dining experience. Highly recommend!

I mean you'll definitely need to try them yourself it was so delicious. Food was very tasty i ate without sauce or hot oil, that good.

A gem. The broth of both soups were so well developed and soothing. Wish they had a more noodles but that could have just been a wish. The potions, taste, service, environment, all of it worked well. Best scallion pancakes in Chinatown and the Taiwanese fried chicken was better than all the places I’ve ever had it, except Taiwan.

Delicious noodle soups and dim sum at fair price! While the noodle were plain at first, they perfect for a broth and picked up so much of the flavor. The duck noodle soup is very filling.

A gem within easy walking distance of the PA convention center, but far enough into Chinatown you can walk in for a weekend meal without an excessive wait. The nan xiang soup dumplings (pork) are delicious; so are the pan fried version. Fair prices, good portions, and good food. I was impressed how well orders of the steamed and fried soup dumplings traveled back to the convention center in January (still warm when we got back to the con hall!). Will be back.

Visited here with my friend. Honestly with our Taiwanese pallet, the beef noodle soup was severely lacking flavour ... and mapo tofu did not look nor taste like mapo tofu... Possibly the dishes better fits the pallet of nan zhou (the area of origin)? But the service was truly amazing and everyone was so welcoming to us and even refunded the price of a dish we didn't touch, so despite our disappointment in the dishes... We really appreciated the experience. Enjoyed the scallion pancake :)

Service is good and the store is very clean. Yet I can't say the noodle is tasty. Actually they just taste super bland, not good at all. The beef with bone in the noodle is tough to chew. The braised meat trio is not of good value, tiny amount. It's such a big letdown as we travelled all the way from the suburb.

I used to live across the street from what is now Heng Feng. At the time, it was Shanghai 1; it was never quite a top-tier Chinatown eatery, but it was rock solid and generally not given to the kind of massive wait times some of the better known restaurants in the neighborhood could develop. We recently realized it's now Heng Feng and stopped in after looking over the menu. I notice this page still has the review I wrote in 2019 for Shanghai 1, so maybe there's some kind of continuity between the two? In any case, the menu is a real powerhouse now. I love that it offers my favorite dim sum and a full range of noodle soups (beef, duck, lamb, etc); normally in Chinatown I would go to Dim Sum Garden for the former and its next-door neighbor Nanzhou La Mien for the latter. Having both, plus ample dry noodle, rice, and meat and vegetable dishes all on one menu makes this a great one-stop shop for good quality Chinese food. At this point, I've only been to Heng Feng once under the current name; we ordered pan friend soup dumplings, beef noodle soup, and....whatever it was my fiancé got for her entree, haha (some kind of chicken and noodle dish). I at least tried everything (in classic Chinese restaurant style, there was no real rhyme or reason beyond readiness to when things came out, so her noodle dish came out, followed a few minutes later by my soup, and eventually the dumplings, which in our minds were the appetizer; she took pity on me and let me share the noodles until my stuff came), and it was all at least good. Her chicken & noodle dish was tasty, but not the kind of thing I tend to order, so I'll leave it at that. The fried soup dumplings were plenty flavorful and substantial, but they didn't totally succeed at the tricky but not-impossible task of coming out with a good amount of broth inside that hadn't been absorbed. I'm sure this wouldn't be an issue with traditional xiao long bao, though, which the menu also offers a few varieties of and which I personally prefer. The main event for me was my beef noodle soup, and that definitely hit. The broth felt pretty light when it came out - not the most full-throttle, "BEEF!" flavored version I've had, but still good. But with some chili oil spooned in and a few bites of the endlessly flavorful beef in my mouth, it all came together in satisfying fashion as I made my way to the bottom of the bowl. If there is some kind of direct connection between Shanghai 1 and Heng Feng, one thing I can say for sure is that HF has upped the noodle soup game. The experience left me very willing to do a return trip and explore more menu options, because I was slobbering at the prospect of trying all kinds of stuff I didn't order that day, from the regular soup dumplings to the "garlic eggplant" (aka fish sauce eggplant).

Soup dumpling: Def not known for them. Skin was thin and thus wasn't strong enough to withhold being picked up even if gently via the tip; multiple dumpling broke before reaching out plates and they had the audacity to bring a broken one to serve as you can see from our photos. And we're familiar with how to eat soup dumplings. Scallion pancakes were like 99% dough, 1% scallions. Although the fried flaky texture was good. However, the pork large intestines were good and would be open to trying those again. Does take card as payment option.

My last review was for when this restaurant was still Shang Hai 1, so I felt like it was necessary to update my review since it's under a new name and management. I came here with my family and saw the great reviews, but realizing that they'd inherited previous reviews. Needless to say, we were quite excited to try a new place. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. We had a party of 5 and they sat us at a 4-top with a person at the end, no biggie. They were busy and tried to accommodate us as best they could. However, the staff continued to bump into my family member on the end with no apologies or gentleness. We ordered a variety of noodle soups, appetizers, etc. Half of what we ordered either came out wrong or they gave us the completely wrong dish. Some dishes were taken back for correction and still came out wrong the second time. Everything tasted like cheap imitations of what Shang Hai 1 used to serve. We didn't enjoy any of what we ordered. Also deleting my previous photos as they no longer apply to Heng Feng.

Our favorite hand drawn noodle soup place, spice C was closed on Wednesday! So we decided to give this place a shot. Ownership changed over the summer and reviews seemed promising. Food was just ok. Broth was lacking in flavor and meat was very chewy. Soup dumplings were very good, but not something I would return here for. Pig ears were disappointing in texture and taste. If craving Taiwanese hand drawn noodle soups, give spice c a try.

Because Philly Chinatown has various amount of great restaurants that offer superb services and flavorful food, I will give this place just an "okay" establishment. It serves the purpose of filling you up when you're hungry, but won't take your breath away. The server was great and fast. There are a good amount of seatings. Here's the food breakdown: General Tso Chicken - what you would expect if you go to an unlimited all you can eat Chinese food aka buffet. I'm expecting more on the meat, less on the coatings. Beef Ho Fun: good flavor, had an ample amount of beef, but the noodles were overcooked (as you can see from the pic). House Special Noodle Soup: I don't see the pork sauce that they advertised. The taste was mid.

Solid 4. Not sure I believe the noodles were actually hand pulled, but how am I to know? Tasty anyway, good price, friendly service, and clean.

First time here with the new ownership, it's even better in my opinion. The best soup dumplings I have had maybe ever!! Such good service, the staff was amazing. We got so much food and it was under $90! Highly recommend!

hand noodles with steak was the bomb. Flavor or broth had depth and an ease on the palette. Delicious. Also had wonton soup - Broth ok a bit too light, not a lot of flavor-flav. Reco soup dumplings -100% and the #46 with the hand drawn noodles! Fast service.

Came here for the first time on a bright and sunny day looking for a tasty meal and boy did this deliver. I ordered the honey walnut shrimp and was just expecting some nice settle in ur belly shrimp but ended up being fed the most crunchy sweet and savory delight WITH delicious rice AND BROCCOLI??? I had a nutritious deeeeelish time here and very much enjoyed my meal

So, I came here during the weekday when it wasn't too crowded. Our food came out surprisingly quick and LET ME TELL YOU ... this place is actually so fire. Like the prices are pretty decent and although I got the duck I'm pretty sure my bowl was under 15$. The beef bowl was also around that range and the crispy fried chicken was delicious. It has a similar breading to Taiwanese basil fried chicken if you've ever had. So it had a great crunch to it. The broth was so flavorful and it's the perfect meal on a rainy day. Make sure to add some chili crisp on top for some extra kick! Will be going back!

Soup dumplings really good always great on a cold day. Has been very nice other noodle dishes as well. Consistently good here, and everyone been welcoming. Becoming a good spot here.

Service is good and the store is very clean. Yet I can't say the noodle is tasty. Actually they just taste super bland, not good at all. The beef with bone in the noodle is tough to chew. The braised meat trio is not of good value, tiny amount. It's such a big letdown as we travelled all the way from the suburb.

Standard Asian service...efficient, direct, and fast. I wanted a meal to fulfill my hunger prior prior to my meal in the evening. The noodles were great. Soup dumplings average at best and broth for noodle soup on par with its competitors within the immediate area. I would definitely return when in the area when craving something quick and satisfying.

Friend and I visited Philly for the weekend and randomly stumbled upon this place. I've got my favorite spots in chinatown (NYC) and didn't think this would compare, but omg we will definitely be coming back! Food was great, service was quick, place was clean.

Nice place for noodles and a variety of other classic dishes. The space is spacious and clean. The service was fast when I was there with a friend. Everything we ordered tasted good. I had the hand drawn noodles, which were as good as Nan Zhou. The scallion pancakes were crispy and not super oily. Calamari was also good and tender.

When I learned I would be visiting Philly, I immediately Yelped 'must eats (in the area) & was directed to many collections full of Chinatown recommendations. Perfect for my friend's suggestion she had always wanted to try soup dumplings & a few clicks later I found Shanghi-1. Their photos had me drooling. I over ordered in my head immediately, and realized it wouldn't be a hard reality to achieve at their reasonable prices. Parking a few blocks away, in a paid garage, near the Reading Terminal, we navigated throughout the crowded city streets to the quaint hole in the wall feeling restaurant. Inside was on the smaller side, minimalist décor, eat-&-go ambiance- but the staff were very friendly. They answered many questions we had regarding dish ingredients. We settled on: crab & pork dumplings: $1 more than the standard pork dumplings- flavor-wise I couldn't distinguish crab flavoring compared to the basic pork-but overall they were absolutely delicious nonetheless- moist w.just the right amount of soup sauce busting within the bite. Paired really well w. the house hoisin sauce or spicy chili oil. At first I thought they seemed a bit on the small side, but after diving in realized they were so filling the sizes were spot on when pairing w. our other menu items. beef scallion pancakes: stuffed w. shredded beef, onion, & peppers- wonderfully flaky not greasy scallion pancake-well-seasoned meat, but the onions & peppers had a more raw taste- and I would have preferred them sauteed or charred a bit more- paired really well w. the house hoisin sauce- very hearty (cut into 4 slices we brought some home) dam dam tofu: this is the kind of dish that becomes a craving- then a sad realization I live far away & need to immediately look up does a place near me offer a similar dish- the tofu was perfectly cooked- & I mean perfect- crispy, well-seasoned batter on the outside, moist melt in my mouth juicy inside- the minced pork had the right amount of salt & spice w. fresh green onion flakes- I loved the presentation of the dish- as the middle tower of tofu was smothered w. the minced pork but some pieces along the outer edges were bare crispy tofu pieces-allowing me to enjoy dipping in the house sauces. I believe in all there were 12 hearty pieces of tofu within the dish- between the two of us, they were so hearty we finished 6 & took the rest home- they reheated really well in my air fryer, keeping their crispiness & flavor profile Definitely agree w. the 'must eat' recommendation. If I lived closer, I would love re-visiting again & trying new menu options along w. eating all of our order again.

Everything tasted good and the staff was nice. It's a place in Chinatown hence it's hard to find a parking space.

Great Great service here... Food is delicious. This will be my new favorite spot when I come to Philly Chinatown for Chinese comfort food

Came during the Flower Show when the whole area near the convention center, Reading Terminal, and Chinatown was packed with crowds. A friend and I sought out Shang Hai 1 based on the menu and photos on Yelp. We were pleasantly surprised that it wasn't busy at all. Inside is modest with plenty of seating and very attentive staff. It's not overly decorated or warm inside, but the food was great. Ordered soup dumplings, beef scallion pancakes, and fried tofu. All of it was delicious! The staff answered all of our questions and the food came out very quickly. The two block walk from Reading Terminal is 100% worth to beat the crowds and have a really great lunch.

Went here on a Saturday afternoon when they just opened. Service was pretty good. We had two of the hand drawn noodle soups: The roast duck and the meatball. The broth was just ok. I was not that much of a fan of it. The ginger was overpowering everything. We also ordered the vegetable fried rice. It was probably top 3 beat fried rice I've ever had. It wasn't too oily and the flavor was perfection!

Went there for lunch on a Saturday. Not too busy. Service was on point. Had some beef noodle soup. It was delicious. Their house tea is really good and staff is friendly

Visited Heng Feng Hand Drawn Noodles and ordered the beef noodle soup. Unfortunately, they didn't have the braised beef noodle soup, which was a bit disappointing. The noodles, however, were a highlight--great texture. On the downside, the soup lacked flavor, with a predominant taste of salt. Service was decent overall. Located in Chinatown, parking is understandably limited.

Overall, really yummy appetizers and noodles - would definitely return! Service was prompt and no-nonsense. Cash only the night we were there, so maybe take some cash just in case! Cute little restaurant, easily accessible in downtown Philly.

came here as a tourist. fast service. tasty food. hand draw noodles makes a big difference. like fresh pasta is to instant ramen.

It's been 3 years since we were here. They've done away with the fancy menu with wooden cover, but menu items are still the same, except for the 20% price inflation. It looked like it's back to full seating, but the staff was still wearing masks.  Wife ordered her staple dish, Beef Ho Fun $11.50. It was the first to arrive. We were taken aback because the serving size was noticeably small, AND it was served on the 10" Styrofoam plate. By the time the other dishes were served on glass platters and with a more respectable amount, we felt more validated to raise an issue with the first dish. So we asked the staff if there was some sort of mistake. We were told that the chef couldn't find a clean plate at the time so he used the Styrofoam plate.  I supposed that they were short in dishwashing staff, but still why such small serving size compared to the other 2 dishes. Now the other 2 dishes, Spicy Eight Treasure Noodle $10.50 and Shrimp Pan Fried Noodle $11.99 were quite on point except the latter was a bit too salty.  The Spicy Eight Treasure Noodle was a first time for me. It's numbing on the tongue and was quite addictive. As we ate my wife saw something disturbing. The staff rolled the garbage bin over to clean the table behind us. While most of the trash was put in the bin, the Styrofoam cups weren't. Instead they were placed somewhere behind the counter. Now I'm not saying if they reuse them, but it raised doubt.  If they do cut corners because time is hard, we couldn't help but wonder how well our plates were washed since they're short of someone to wash the dishes.

My friend and I came for the re-opening and this is a solid hand drawn noodle option. He ordered the beef noodle soup and I got the stir fried and both were fantastic. Lots of menu options. The service was good and there was no wait at 5pm. I'm partial to Spice C's Szechuan noodles but this place is less crowded and takes credit cards and you need that sometimes!

Best calzone! Perfect combination of the stuffing with chives, eggs, bean noodles and I think tiny dried shrimps. The wrapping is soft, fluffy yet thin and hint of crisp. Satisfied my craving! The staff is very accommodating for letting me order below minimum amount with a card since I had no cash. Thanks!

Deceptively large place. Fast friendly service. The noodle soup broth and meat were very flavorful and the noodles had a great texture. I've never seen hand drawn noodles that were all the same size and with a square cross section, though...

Best Taiwanese food I've had in Philadelphia so far! The service was excellent, food came out fast and the portions were great. The restaurant itself is a little on the smaller side but nice amenities, good location, and lively ambiance. Will definitely be coming back here. The soup dumplings and potstickers were really delicious too. Brought my boyfriend here and it was a great first exposure to Taiwanese food for him!

I like this place, solid 3.5. The staff is attentive and friendly, the service is prompt and the food is good. Been here many a time but have never left a review. Soup dumplings are flavorful, a little on the smaller side but still tasty. Dan dan noodles are delicious although could've used a little more sauce this past time and although the mushroom and bok choy doesn't look appealing it is. Will always come back.

The smell drew us in! We had eaten a bit somewhere else so we only ordered soup dumplings and scallion pancakes. The dumplings had a strong ginger flavor that we really enjoyed. We were the last customers of the night and appreciated that they did not make us feel rushed. Our server kindly let us know when the kitchen was closing in case we wanted to order anything else.

Food was great service was quick. Was a clean and open space will come again. Def recommending to folks.

Delicious! And price is right. Visiting the city for a few days and decided to try it when walking by. Highly recommend.

I have walked past Shanghai 1 many times and always wanted to try. However, the food wasn't anything special. Shanghai Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings: They were large and flavorful, but the skin was thick. Egg Pancake: A little bland. Pancakes were fluffy and had hint of cumin. We enjoyed dipping them in the chili sauce and soy sauce on table. Snow Cabbage Shredded Pork Rice Cake: Rice cakes were well cooked, nice and chewy. It had a very homey taste. Dam Dam Crispy Tofu (Pork): Crispy tofu skin, but the meat topping was too salty.

I saw this place highly recommended by Yelp and since I was in the Philadelphia Chinatown area I had to stop in I'm glad I did because not only did the food look amazing it taste amazing. The general Tso chicken was ok. Chicken fried rice was amazing. Scallion pancake was so tasty that I can't wait to order again The waitress was very friendly and attentive. we were given paper plates and forks but we did have waitress service I'll definitely be back

We stopped by for a quick bite on our last night in Philly. Everything on the menu looked good, but we weren't really even hungry - we were just in that "gotta eat everything we can before we leave" state of mind. So, we ordered the cold noodles with sesame and peanut sauce, and the beef and chili pancake. BOTH WERE BOMB! The noodles were a tad bit heavy, but a little drizzle of the vinegar gave it just the acid it needed. If you're into sesame or peanut butter, this is it for you. The beef and chili pancake was so good. The pancake was crispy and the beef & chili stuffing was so flavorful. If you like a little spice, you'll be happy you got this! This could have easily been a 5 star experience...and, really, the only reason I'm holding back on a star is because of the unconscionable about of styrofoam they use. :/

Service was great and our food was delicious. Food ordered was crispy salt chicken, pork pot stickers, shrimp stir fry noodles, pork and chive dumplings and special noodle soup. The high light were the stir fry noodles and pot stickers.

Snowing , cold and hungry I found Shang Hai 1 in Chinatown. As soon as I walked in and sat down to eat a welcoming cup of hot tea was served. Oh, nice! I ordered the Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings(6).There was not too much soup inside the dumplings. Shao Mai dumplings(4) were good, the best dish of my meal. Young Chow Fried Rice completed my meal.

If you exclude the cleanliness and service this place would be fantastic. Food portions are on the larger side, prices on the cheaper side, and taste on the yummier side. Heads up, all your utensils/cups are disposable. The place isn't the cleanest and the service is nothing great but in no way were they rude. Beef scallion pancakes has 4 pieces that are nice and crispy and very tasty. The fried chicken was also very good. Pork scallion sauce noodles was good and acted as my carb substitute. Not a lot of flavor but I would much prefer this over plain rice. Soup dumplings comes hot but they cool off fast so eat them while they're hot. There's a lot of soup but the dang plastic spoon can barely lift the dumpling let alone contain any soup that you miss so expect to just finish each one with one bite. Service: 3/5 Ambience: 3/5 Food: 5/5 Overall would be a great take out place since the food portions are decent + prices are cheap for what you get. The taste is fantastic and you're not going to be getting any stellar service and it can be annoying to eat with flimsier plastic cutlery. Would definitely recommend!

Came to the area for a college visit with my son and came upon this place when looking for soup dumplings on Yelp. We shared the crab and pork soup dumplings, pan fried pork soup dumplings and the singapore rice noodles. Everything was super tasty especially the rice noodle and the crab and pork dumplings. The pan fried dumplings didnt really have any soup in them however they were also tasty.

We ordered takeout from Shang Hai 1 for the first time tonight and were not disappointed! Dim Sum Garden is usually my go to but I wasn't thrilled with my order last time and wanted to try somewhere new. The soup dumplings were very good! They travelled pretty well, didn't break and the skin was not too thick. The pork inside was tasty, was not expecting the piece of shrimp but I liked it. I also got the wonton soup but it wasn't anything special. I thought the broth was too salty, and I prefer a bit more skin than meat. The filling was good though, there is a vegetable (possibly bok choy) mixed in with the meat and it was good! The szechuan tofu was the star for me. The dish is tofu and pork in a chili sauce with szechuan peppercorns. I frequently order this dish and this may have been the best I've tried. Super flavorful and I get the tingle from the peppercorns, which I love. I do think it was a bit too salty. Not sure if they use MSG or not. We also ordered the Volcano chicken. Was definitely a bit disappointed about the amount of rice that was given, one small container for 2 entrees.

Solid Shanghainese and Taiwanese restaurant in the Philly Chinatown area! It was raining yesterday when my sister and I passed by Shang Hai 1, fresh off the bus from NYC. We were on our way to Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House when we decided to dine here instead since it was cold and rainy outside and we just wanted someplace warm to sit and dine in. We ordered the hot & spicy soup (for 2), the dan dan noodle w/ chili sauce (pork), and the shanghai steamed pork soup dumplings. The flavors were a bit different from what we were used to (e.g., the hot & spicy soup was more sour than spicy), but everything was tasty and flavorful nonetheless. The dan dan noodle w/ chili sauce, in particular, was both of our favorites, though everything was so delicious we ended up cleaning the plates. The staff was polite and attentive, the prices were beyond cheap, not to mention the food came out extremely quickly! So glad we stopped by. Highly recommend and definitely worth a visit!

A great mixture of Americanized Chinese takeout and authentic Taiwanese cuisine! I was surprised that I can get Lu Rou Fan, Oyster pancake and Taiwanese beef noodles soup in this place. I came here a few times with both my Asian friends and American friends, they were all satisfied with the selections they offered in the menu, there are also good sichuan style foods. To me personally, the Taiwanese selection was more unique and intriguing.

While the food was served on styrofoam plates, and the utensils were plastic, don't let this deter you from trying some of the delicious Shanghainese food served here. The menu has a wide selection of options to choose from. We went during early lunchtime on a Saturday, and the restaurant was not crowded. (The tables were filling up by the time we left though.) Service was quick and matter-of-fact, but the food was the star. The Shanghai Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings were flavorful and full of soup, with the dumpling wrapper being perfectly thin. I also recommend getting the Stir Fried Rice Cake Shanghai Style, as this is an authentic Shanghainese that reminded me of my childhood days. The dishes were surprisingly filling and the perfect amount for a lunchtime meal. If you're by the convention center, this restaurant is a solid spot to grab a bite to eat that is within walking distance.

I always pass by this place when I am visiting Philly's Chinatown and always curious about it. I am glad I finally tried it! We went on a Sunday evening for an early dinner. We were promptly seated. Service was not the most friendly but pretty attentive. We got a couple of items since we have been eating all day. The spicy 8 treasure noodle, pork soup dumplings, marinated gluten, garlic eggplant and the spicy beef pancake. Even after a full day of eating, everything was still delicious. My favorite was definitely the spicy beef and chili pancake but surprisingly the 8 treasure noodle had a great combination of flavor. I literally ate it as leftovers a couple hours later! It was a good meal and we definitely left full and happy. Out of all the restaurants in Chinatown, I think they do manage to stand out. Hopefully I can be back soon!

Simple review here. Dim Sum Garden is the place everyone knows for great soup dumplings. They're phenomenal. But if they're too busy, come here instead. Because the soup dumplings here are every bit as good. Hell. Come here even if they're not busy. Make this place part of your rotation in Chinatown. It's worth the trip. Plus, an order of soup dumplings and a platter of shrimp and broccoli over rice came in under $20. Can't beat that.

Me and my boyfriend have been looking for soup dumplings and this place has been the best we've stumbled across so far. Parking: No direct street parking, it's located in the heart of Chinatown so you must find parking else where and walk. Ambiance: Quiet, feels like your average mom and pop shop. Utencils were disposable so be aware of that. Everyone was very friendly and efficient. Service: Food came out very quickly (within 6 mins) and we were seated very quickly. Food: We ordered the crispy salted chicken, lobster fried rice, crabmeat and pork soup dumplings, & pork pan fried soup dumplings. Crispy Salted Chicken: 9.5/10, chicken was very juicy and crispy. Looks like popcorn chicken. We were blown away by how good this was. It also came with spicy mayo on the side. Lobster fried rice: 8.5/10, we don't normally order fried rice at dumpling restaurants but we figured why not. This fried rice was pretty delicious and cheap for the amount we got. It doesn't look like much because we already dug in when I remembered to take a picture lol. Pork pan fried soup dumplings: 7/10, bun itself was pretty soft and delicious. However, the soup was pretty oily and there was not much filling. It was a good size for it's pricepoint. Crabmeat & pork soup dumplings: 9/10, the dumplings were pretty good, the soup was good as well. Don't make the mistake we made, eat this once it comes out and it hot and ready! We waited a bit too long and the dumplings got a bit cold so we could not enjoy the full experience. We would definitely get this again. Overall, this place was a solid 8/10 for us. We will definitely come back!

The Chinese noodle soup at this restaurant is an absolute delight. The broth is a harmonious blend of savory and aromatic flavors, a testament to the chef's mastery of Chinese culinary tradition. The noodles are skillfully prepared, achieving the perfect balance of chewiness. What stands out is the thoughtful combination of fresh ingredients, from crisp vegetables to succulent meats or tofu, providing a diverse and satisfying texture in every spoonful. Whether you opt for a classic like beef noodle soup or explore regional specialties, the authenticity and depth of flavor make this Chinese noodle soup a culinary gem that transports your taste buds to the heart of China. Highly recommended for both connoisseurs and those new to the wonders of Chinese cuisine.
