So this place is across the street and where Ding Feng Tang used to be below Tango. They just opened last month in the spot and have brought back some of the old spots Menu items like the skewers.
Happy Hour specials are banging and they have all sorts of events. They even open early for Soccer matches. Their instagram is lit so check that for the most current specials. As they are very new things will likely get tweaked and added. They even have late night happy hour for night owls like me.
Food: I've been here four times so far, there's so much to munch on and it's all been delicious.
Margaritas: Fresh and Sour and Yummy, The Mango With Tajin is sinful and a must have.
Rum Punch: The pineapple is fresh, you can tell by the foam. To people saying the drinks are high, fresh ingredients yield quality and are more expensive. anyone can crack open a lame can of dole, serve it for 2 dollars less and give you a much worse product. This drink was so yummy I had two that night. I think only a few dashes of bitters could have improved things.
Buffalo wings: Crispy, Yummy, everything you could want from a buffalo wing. These came out fast and crisp even on the Phillies Opening day. I'd have preferred Bleu cheese and carrots over ranch and celery but I am weird.
Crystal Shrimp Dumplings: So Big and juicy! Beautiful too. I had to open wide and enjoyed chewing every mouthful of juicy shrimp with their dumpling dip sauce.
Dan Dan Noodles: Best thing I've eaten here so far. They do ask you if you are okay with spice for this and the skewers. As a Chili-head I was all the way in. The noodles were so toothsome and yummy, and I loved the contrast the pork and peanuts gave. This is a rockstar example of a dish you need to nail in this neighborhood.
Skewers: Pork Belly wrapped Mushrooms, Shrimp, Lamb, Beef, and Chicken are all on offer currently. The meats were tender and delicious, not dry like some skewers can be. This is something I'd love to see them expand and perhaps serve with a dip? In any case 7.50 for multiple skewers of juicy meat is a deal you shouldn't miss. As of Writing this I hear they are testing $1.50 Skewers on Wednesdays after 7.
Shrimp and Pork Wontons: A Lovely snack and so cheap during happy hour. The dumpling skins were perfect, I loved the sauce enough I took a big sip, and the filling was plentiful and juicy.
Several of my neighbors complimented the Corn Ribs and Philly Cheeseteak Eggrolls. Both looked and smelled delicious.
Service: Kind friendly staff were happy to chat and answer questions. They make you really want to come back. For me moving to a new city can be lonely, coming here truly made me filled with joy. They want you to have a great experience.
Atmosphere: A Long beautiful bar greets you with double doors that can open on nice weather. There are more TV's in here than I have ever seen outside of maybe a best buy. Have a Group? They have tables for dining in the back where they also host music and Karaoke. They have slots and I think I saw a Claw Machine? Or Perhaps that was wishful thinking. It's spotless and very contemporary.
Summary: Do you want to go to a bar on Arch Street. Here, you go here. I do so several times a week! :)
