Ting Wong

Good old-fashioned Cantonese cuisine in Chinatown Philadelphia. Nothing fancy but great food, especially theory BBQ items and congee. Great place for an authentic Chinese breakfast in the morning. You may also place to-go orders on the machine by the front door.

I love the roasted duck over rice here. The duck is very well-seasoned, and the price is so affordable. For $9 you get a plate of meat over rice with veggie and a bowl of soup. I also like the hong kong style pan fried noodle, very similar to mì xào giòn. The only thing I would do next time is ask for less sauce cuz I like my noodles crunchy. I don't recommend the cheung fun or steamed rice noodles here. It's just too much rice noodles and very little filling. Chow fun is kinda bland while lo mein is too salty. Fried rice is decent. If you go with ~3 people, you can do a meat combo, side of veggie and white rice for roughly same price as meat over rice but more food (esp veggie).

Great dishes with plenty of selections. Sizzling pork intestine is so delightful while the duck and chicken are very savory. Their vegetable noodles just got the right amount of saltiness. Highly recommended!

I'm thrilled to share that Ting Wong surpassed my expectations with its remarkable Cantonese cuisine, earning the enthusiastic endorsement of my mother. The exceptional service from the waitstaff elevated the dining experience, complementing the outstanding food quality. With its clean and inviting atmosphere, Ting Wong is perfectly suited for both dine-in and takeout. For a truly delightful culinary experience in Philadelphia's Chinatown, I strongly recommend visiting Ting Wong – a standout choice that exceeds expectations.

Their roasted duck is a must. We tried rice, noodles and roll with duck. Every item was super delicious! We were so impressed with the food that we went back the next day. First day, we took wonton noodles soup. The noodles tasted bland but other than that, everything was good. Broth was well seasoned. Next day, we took HK styled noodles with duck. On that, the noodles was rich in flavor. Also, the price was very reasonable compared to the other restaurants in the area.

They are courteous, efficient, and very well-priced. Most importantly, however, their food is delicious. Get any roast meat over rice and you won't regret it

This place needs more 5 star reviews - authentic Beijing roast duck and crispy pork belly at such a cheap price (a platter for lunch was like 12 bucks!), if I lived in Philly I’d probably be going here every week. It’s cash only, so keep that in mind!

Food was great and served quickly. However my ribs were a bit cold/not warm but other than that the food was great and taste very good. Would recommend getting food here!

Always the best for authentic Cantonese & southern Chinese food. It's our go to for roasted duck, pig and soy chicken, noodles ,rice platters & everything in between. IMHO there's no dish that their chef can't do well. Service is quick & no-nonsense but courteous. Ambience is super casual. It's all about the food.

Since my last review is very much outdated, I had to update. Ting Wong has the best roast duck and pork in the city. While service can be a bit inconsistent (thought still very nice and pleasant people), it's par for the course for any cheap delicious Asian restaurant. Highly highly recommend.

Food: 4/5, Value: 5/5 Great authentic Cantonese food This place has really great authentic food that is a great value. For under $10 each, you get a large portion of food. We got the beef chow fun and Peking pork chop. The beef chow fun had good flavor and the beef was tender, although a little under-seasoned. The Peking pork chop sauce was perfect and authentic and was hot and crunchy. You can get shrimp cheung fun for $4 which is cheaper than any dim sum place and one of my favorites (so chewy and soft with a good amount of shrimp). One of our favorites in china town!

Food is good, the Chinese BBQ meat has good flavor and is fresh. Service is standard Chinese restaurant style; server not too rude, but not very patient nor too friendly either. Will definitely be back.

One thing that separates a good restaurant from a great restaurant for me is the consistency of quality food that is served. Ting Wong is very inconsistent. When I was here a few weeks ago I ordered roast duck, (crispy) roast pig and roast pork (aka char siu). The roast pork was excellent but the roast duck was average and the roast pig was terribly dry. Came back today and ordered all three again but this time both the roast pork and roast pig were dry while the roast duck was pretty good. The marinades they use on the roast duck and char siu are very good but I could also tell that the food was not fresh. As for the roast pig here, it is not worth the price in my opinion and is usually bland and dry without sauce. The most consistent and best part? The rice.

MY SPOT. I didn't give it a 5 because Im jaded and I never sat down to eat yet.... But great food, very nice staff, great prices. It's in Chinatown so prepare to pay for parking. You have to have a little day and go here for me please. Get the roasted duck and pork platter and share some with me. - Populair

I took a trip to Chinatown to pick up bakery goods for my company's Lunar New Year Party - I got there early thinking the bakery would be open at 8:30 am however they opened at 9am. I had 30 minutes to kill. I wandered to the neighborhood looking for a coffee shop and stopped to checkout the duck and pork. They were just hanging them up and they had seating and I saw a big pot of broth steaming. My tastebuds woke up and was craving Chinese noodle soup. 3 components of delicious noodle soup. #1!main ingredient is the broth - not super greasy, watered down and super salty. You should taste the yummy goodness that comes from the bones #2 noodles - cooked al dente not mushy or broken ( why do people break precious noodles up) thin egg noodles are the best#3 meat - fresh Peking duck and char sui pork . Perfection!

Probably the best Cantonese food you'll find in the center city Philly area. The taste to price ratio is excellently high. The barbecue meats are the best here. If you go, definitely order them at least. Service was fine, don't really care as the food is excellent. Standard restaurant atmosphere nothing noteworthy.

As a small wall in the wall Cantonese-food restaurant, this place reminds me of an old school restaurant in Hong Kong. They have your expected offerings of Chinese bbq deli takeout as well as dine in dishes. I ordered the Chinese bbq pork with rice to go and was surprised it was only $8.99. The service was really fast and I think the quality of the bbq pork was better than Siu Kee Duck House. Looking forward to coming back again.

pretty good food! Tasted very authentic, quick clean, fast service and nice waiters. Very attentive and pretty cheap in cost!!! Would come again when I'm back in the area.

I ALWAYS come here - but beware, I've finally gotten ripped off at Ting Wong. I asked for 2 pounds of the roast bbq pork and paid for 2 pounds. Once I got home I was thinking it seemed a bit light...so I weighed it. I have only slightly more than 1 pound and that's including the container weight. As a reference for all other customers, these circular containers in the picture typically only can hold 0.5 pounds. So the math is there, 2 containers shown in my picture should be around 1 pounds.

I've been coming here for years now and always am satisfied with my Roast Pork rice dish that I get. The portions are great, the vegetables are a nice side, and the soy sauce on the rice went well with everything. The meat itself is good quality. I am always happy with how consistent the food I get here is.

Absolutely in shock. I've been coming here for almost 10 years now as a family tradition. When trying to pay with a card, they told me I'd have to pay 4% of my total in fees for using a card. I opted to pay with the cash I had because that fee seemed very high to add to my already large bi. I paid cash, which covered the bill and a tip. The tip was not over the top, but I explained that was literally all I had in my wallet. The cashier then yelled at me saying I need to give her my card to pay more of a tip. Including the fees associated with card use. She demanded that I provide an additional tip, while not even receiving a receipt or any sort of bill. She said I needed to give her whatever card I had to give them more money. I will add - I ordered a full Peking duck along with many other dishes. They certainly did not provide a full duck. They had no cups to provide my family with water and said we had to wait - which was well after we finished our meal. They also made us move tables in the middle of being served. I am shocked and disappointed that after so many years, the service and food have gone totally bad.

This is the second time I went here for breakfast. I usually order their pork with preserved egg congee and steamed dumplings. It's tasty and fresh. The service is good. The place looks old but the food makes up for it.

Their meats are amazing here. The duck is usually very juicy and tender and their roast pork, crispy pork is so yummy. I tried their wonton soup today and I didn't really like the wontons. So im not super sure about the foods there but the meats I can vouch for. Delicious.

Don't let the worn down decor scare you away, we ate here 4 out of the five days we were in town. We didn't eat here on day 5 because they were closed. lol Roast duck, roast pig, soy chicken, roast pork were all delicious. We had roast ribs and they were just ok. Service was prompt and friendly. Prices were more than fair.

The best in bbq meats. Wontons are full of shrimp and snappy. Been coming for years. Eat in is available again.

Upon first glance, this business seems to primarily serve Chinese BBQ -- roast pork, bbq pork and duck, to be exact. In fact, most patrons were happily ordering bbq by the pound when we rolled in search of Wonton Soup. They are take out only and there aren't many places to sit around Chinatown but we ended up sitting at a bench in front of the fire station across the street. No one yelled at us so I guess it was okay, haha. The do not have any major complaints about the Wonton Soup. The broth was sweet and simple and the wontons were rather large and a they included a decent amount. The wrapping was thin, but springy and the shrimp filling was reminiscent of har gow. It was satisfactory although we did wonder greatly about their bbq as their most popular item. The wonton noodle, as mentioned, was decent but an honest after thought given the simplicity of its components.

I was feeling nostalgic for classic Cantonese BBQ roast pork and soy sauce chicken over rice which I used to have all the time in Chinatown in NYC. This place hit the spot. Great flavors and good portion size. My husband ordered Buddha's delight Hong Kong pan fried noodles which he enjoyed as well

Went here after reading years of good reviews. It was awful. Doors were greasy and dirty. I had to ask 4 times for water. Was told each time to "give me a second." Finally, had to raise my voice just for water. Ambiance was non- existent. I was still undeterred since the positive reviews were for the food and not the atmosphere or service. The food was edible. Not high praise. The roast pork was dry and cold. I also had roast pork lo mein. The noodles were dry with tiny pieces of dried roast pork. It may have had great food at some point. Ting Wong now sucks! Go somewhere else. Any Sang Kee comes to mind. BTW, I did tip since I know servers work for tips. I did not leave happy and would not return. It was so bad I can't chalk it up to an off evening.

Made a quick stop at Ting Wong's to pick up some food on our way back to New York. The pictures of the char siu or Chinese BBQ roast pork on Yelp had me sold! I ordered preserved egg congee, char siu, cuttlefish and wonton mien. Besides the cuttlefish being a bit bland, I have no other complaints about the food items I ordered. The wontons were full of shrimp and extremely plump and boy was the char siu delicious! We devoured the entire 1/2 lb on our way back home LOL. I honestly wish I had ordered more. The exterior was sticky and nicely charred and the flavors were all there. I'm bookmarking this place for another visit the next time I'm in Philly.

My go to authentic Chinese food spot in Philly. These seems to be the same chefs from East Broadway in NYC Chinatown as the tastes are remarkably similar. I came here twice within three days when I needed a break from gorging on Philadelphia's famous cheesesteaks.

I've been going to this restaurant since I was a college student many years ago, and they have always remained consistent since then. I'n so thankful that Philadelphia Chinatown is not so touristic as some other chinatowns, since the highly residential nature of the area means many of the best shops were able to survive through the shut downs of the pandemic. My favorite thing is their roast duck! Even now living in WV, when I have the chance to swing through Philadelphia for whatever reason, I always make sure to stop by and pick up a roast duck to take home with me.

Terrible Service but at least the food's on point. We got the roast pork over rice and soy chicken over rice, both of which were solid at $8.99/each otd. Keep in mind that they do accept credit cards but you'll have to pay a small fee. Also, the food comes in a clear plastic bag without a handle. Paper bag w handle costs extra, which I absolutely needed since I was biking ~10m back to my hotel.

Amazing Peking duck! We also ordered some egg rolls and chow fun with beef which were decent and fresh (not salty like many other Chinese places)....but the Peking duck was the star...really flavorful, tender and juicy. Asian-style, friendly and fast service

Roast duck and pork over rice is drool licking good. Too bad they close on Wednesday and they close pretty early around 6-7 sometimes. But food, service, cost is excellent

Stopped in here last Thursday for a sit down lunch, but they are only open for take out due to Philadelphia's overreaction to a positive covid testing spike. I got my favorite dish, which I call the "Triple Threat": Roast duck, roast pork and roast chicken on a bed of rice and vegetables. My better half got the beef lo mein. Took it back to, our nearby hotel. I loved my dish. My better half found the lo mein a bit on the oily side.

Authentic Chinese food at an amazing price. I recommend the wonton roast duck noodle soup. Their wontons are large and crispy with shrimp. My favorite place to get this ubiquitous dish, even better than Sang Kee. Fish with tofu and salt and pepper anything here is also reliably delicious.

I was excited to order from here but was disappointed. They've raised their prices and decreased portion sizes!! I ordered the roast duck app, bbq spare ribs, and vegetables in oyster sauce. The total came to $23. Pretty expensive for the small portions I got and it didn't even come with rice. And a lot more expensive than the prices listed on the menu photos. Food was extremely salty. Probably won't be ordering from here again.

Was in Philadelphia Chinatown and was looking for.a take out place with authentic Chinese food. Saw this place had 4 stars on yelp and just jumped in. Staff members were wearing masks, no indoor dining yet available. There was also hand sanitizer available. The staff members are taishanese. They can also speak Cantonese, and mandarin. We ordered half a roast duck, cha siu (honey roast pork), the assorted tofu pot, snow pea leaf with garlic sauce, Peking pork, and tong choy with garlic sauce, They gave two large containers of white rice for free. Overall, this place was pretty good. The roast duck was average. The cha siu was a little bit on the dry side, but had decent flavor. The assorted tofu pot was also pretty good had different seafood in it and was like a casserole. Snow pea leaf and tong choy was ok nothing special. My favorite was the Peking pork for sure. The sauce came on the side. And it still tasted really good for being take out! Would recommend this for a quick meal!

A bit disappointed that we couldn't sit in. It's only available for take out. Ordered combo 3 with rice- Bbq pork- delicious! Love it. Roasted pork- pretty dry. Didn't provide any sauce for it. Would rather order chicken instead. Duck- was great.

Was not very impressed here. We saw that they were on Philly Mags top 50 list at one point, and the entire experience just felt very average at best. We had a chance to visit pre-covid, and it just felt like a churn & burn type of restaurant. Service was fast, food was average.

AAAAHHHH I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED!! :( I came here purposely to get some roasted pork (siu yuk) to bring back to Maryland, but I was super duper disappointed. I came here around 12pm and got 2 pounds of siu yuk. The total came out to be $36, which is expensive... I saw it was supposed to be $14 a pound. But whatever, the reviews were solid for this place, so okay I'll pay it. Looking back at it now makes me feel like I was cheated into paying more, but it's my fault since I had high expectations. After I paid, I left and got to my friend's house. I looked at the siu yuk then, and it was very cold and dry looking. I was disappointed already by how it looks, and the fact that it was cold. Are the meats by the pound at Ting Wong supposed to be cold? -sighs- I figured maybe it would taste good still after heating it up but no. The meat was tough to chew and very salty (this is without the sauce). With all that being said, I was just disappointed in the experience and food.

COVID19: Only pick-up available A bittersweet 4 stars. There is this one lady, whom I presume is the owner, that never smiles and frowns at you. She handles money, and you need to go through her for takeouts. She snaps at me for asking general questions. Kind of hurts when you pour so much money into this place and you bring all your acquaintances to this place. Yes, their food is consistent and delicious. The rest of the staff is friendly! If I don't know where to go, I go to Ting Wong by default. This place has been vouched by my Chinese friends. When I first came here, I didn't know what to order and they helped me out. Really can't go wrong with what you order here. ***They have two extensive menus. There's nothing wrong with the binded menu, but I order more from the paper menu*** Chiang Fun with Shrimp (you can order this only during the day) Shrimp Wonton with Noodles (the broth was bland, but the shrimp wontons are heavenly) Congee with Century Egg (an acquired taste) Roast Duck with Rice (my go-to and I love how you can add additional meats to this place. But I will be getting my duck from elsewhere. Found somewhere better) Lo Meins (generic, safe choice if you are too scared to taste the other dishes) Beef Pepper Chow Fun (my go-to and a popular dish) Buddha's Delight Pan-Fried Noodles (made me love vegetable dishes)

Amazing Cantonese style food, I will certainly recommend this place to my friends and family! We got the plain congee (so good, especially when you dip the fried dough sticks). As someone who eats primarily vegan plant based, Ting Wong really impressed me with their vegetarian and vegan options

On a business trip to Philadelphia, a friend invited my "work wife" and me to dinner with his girlfriend. He's from the area, and recommended trying a restaurant in Chinatown. They've apparently visited Ting Wong frequently and said it was okay. "Just... okay?" "Yea, its good." I thought I had a gift for understatement. This was one of the most fantastic meals I've had -- I can't say enough about the food. My friend speaks Chinese, and after a quick, "well, what do you like?" he ordered a half dozenish dishes. First, was a thick fish soup -- I wish I could remember the name, because I'd very much so like to order it a thousand more times. This week. It was almost a porridge, and while it had a distinct seafood flavour, it was not "fishy" at all. We followed this with an appetizer of cuttlefish, which was sliced thin. Cuttlefish is similar to squid in flavour, but a little firmer, and with a little more oomph to the flavour - this was perfectly done. We moved on to a jellyfish salad, which was also extremely delicious, and finished with beef noodles and two types of pork. All of it was so mouth watering delicious that I'm getting hungry writing this three days later.

The roast pork wonton noodles are my go to at Ting Wong. The food here is pretty fresh and you get a considerably large portion of food. The prices here are fairly low in comparison to a lot of other restaurants I've been too. The service is okay. Your food comes you very quickly, but sometimes the service can be abrupt and the waiters can be irresponsive especially during rush hours when they're trying to shuffle people in and out. If you want a simple, authentic bowl of noodles in Chinatown, come to Ting Wong. They have great food and you really get your money's worth here.

Typical Cantonese restaurant offering up old school Hong Kong style food to the masses in Philadelphia. I was excited to try this place out since the photos posted on the site looked very appetizing. We ordered the "Standard Canto dishes" Beef chow fun, Singapore mei fun, wonton noodle soup, pork with thousand year old egg congee with a cruller on the side, order of roast pork half fat/ half lean and one dim sum dish the beef sticky roll. I was disappointed on all but two dishes. The roast pork was more fat than lean and the skin was not crispy. The others fell short in flavor and the others missed the magic that we call "Wok heat" The beef chow fun and Singapore mei fun were visually dull looking which I contribute to the poor Wok heat failing to seal in that flavor resulting in bland tasting food. The congee was spot on but the cruller instead of being light, airy and crunchy was soggy and tasteless. The beef sticky roll was flavorful and had a nice semi thin skin which gave it a nice chew. The Service was fine and the food came out pretty quick once the order was placed. Price was reasonable but I'm sure there are other better Canton food options around the area.

My go to place in Chinatown for roast duck and roast pork and other simple food, the price is good and service is fast, the duck have a lot of flavor and the crispy roast pork is crispy and tasty. Chicken Lo Mein is good and good flavor, Yang chow fried rice is excellent. Also the char sui is good.

Solid wonton noodle soup. Noodles had a good bite and wonton full of shrimp. Roast duck was fairly meaty and nice and succulent. They dont take Amex and $10 minimum for credit cards.

Unexpectedly good quality, tasty and moist. Authentic enough for me! The char siu is a good combination of lean and fatty meat, again moist and tasty. The soy sauce chicken is tasty and moist. I'll have to return to try the crispy pork belly and the duck.

Simply amazing. A very casual, super busy, well-staffed Chinese duck house dishing out some seriously delicious food. This is one of the classic Chinatown spots with roasted ducks hanging in the window and chefs in the front chopping duck with a vengeance. There's no reservations, so expect to wait at least a few minutes for a table. When we came in, only two large tables were open. We were looking for a two seater. They asked us if we were OK with being seated with other parties. We did not mind. We were seated with another party of two, and those guys were really cool. They even shared their wine with us (this spot is byob)! For starters, we ordered the roasted duck appetizer and duck wonton soup. Both came out really fast. Both were so darn good. The duck is on par with Sang Kee for best duck in the city. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The wontons were a great size and super delicious. For dinner we ordered the beef with broccoli and pork low mein. Both were as good as they could be. While this meal was very heavy, and clearly high in sodium, it wasn't overly greasy. The low mein noodles were cooked perfectly. The flavor was so on point. The beef with broccoli sauce was perfect. Not too salty, and packed with flavor. I was so damn impressed with the food here. I cant wait to come back.

Ting Wong on 10th Street in Chinatown is one of the old school houses specializing in Guangdong cuisine. The abundant evidence hangs in the front window where ruby roasted pork and duck are displayed on hooks as savory invitations to come inside with strong appetite. The dining room looks nicer than I recall from my last visit sometime in the last decade. Newer furniture now graces the house, and maybe even renovated floors and lighting. The place is still packed on weekends with people young and old eating their fill of the excellent meat kitchen up front and/or the soup and noodle possibilities in back. We had a bit of both. We ordered congee with ancient egg and beef chow fun from the latter and a plate of roast pork and duck over rice from the former. Everything was good to great. The congee was thick and loaded with black hard boiled egg, morsels of pork and chive on top. So much better tasting than it sounds! The pork and duck dish was almost all meat, perfectly roasted to a dark ruby bark and only the slightest fat for extra flavor. The chow fun was the weakest entre, as it seemed a touch overcooked without sufficient brown sauce to compensate. Still, the taste was there, it just needed more lubrication. We liked our meal so much that we ordered half a duck and equal quantity of pork to take home. It was just as good tonight, two days later. Ting Wong is a wonderful tradition in Philly Chinatown, with mostly great southeast China cuisine, great prices and a strong following. It is totally old fashioned. You would not want it any other way.

We found this restaurant from Yelp and decided to give it a go. I got the 叉燒炒飯 (fried rice) and was not disappointed at all. The fried rice was really good and there was a lot of it. It was flavorful and the meat was barbecued very well. Sometimes, restaurants have an overbearing amount of oil in fried rice, but this was not so. I also had my friend's roast duck and it was amazing - the skin was crispy and juicy. I would come here again. The service is fine and the price is really cheap!

One of my favorite Cantonese restaurants. Best scallion chicken and congee you can find in town. Can't wait to try the cuttlefish and roast duck.

No Dine-in still due to COVID, so we picked up a couple lbs of chinese bbq roast pork to go. Wow, really good still. It was a little pricey though ... not sure if prices went up a lot, but it seemed a bit more I remember. Either way, I was happy to have to it since it isn't something I get often. It was delicious and packed up nicely!

We went around 6-7 on a Thursday and it seemed not really busy so if you ever want to come here with seating I recommend a weekday. They sat us really quickly and the waiter was super nice and kept checking up. I ordered the roast duck and roast pig we ordered were considered appetizers but they gave us such LARGE portions. The roast pork skin was so crispy and juicy I highly recommend it. We also ordered the roasted duck with noodles and wontons. I didn't think they'd give us so much duck in the noodles so next time I won't order duck appetizer since they gave so much. The short rib pan friend noodles were SOO crispy and the sauce was perfect. The dish itself was very large and I think it can be shared with at 4 people max. The cost of all of the food was so super reasonable for the amount and taste. The total was under $40 for two with tax. For the amount you get and the price I would definitely come back because it tasted so good.

Came in Sunday 7/2 ordered take out since place was full I was trying to decide between the #35 and the #45 and when I asked the girl she wasn't all that helpful when I asked what's good. Lol. But that was understandable since they have a lot of different items. Shld of got both but went with the number #45 BBQ spare rib noodles I liked that they had the soup was placed in separate container from the noodles n ribs so the noodles wouldn't get overly mushy in transit which was good call since it was to go, humid outside and I had to transport this on patco. Hard to judge with take out. The noodles were regular and the. Broth was good. The BBQ spare ribs were good tho wish they could of deboned the meat. Afterwards I wished I ordered the #35 which was the noodle soup with roast pork and soy chicken. Assuming it's boneless it sounds better for next time and maybe I try to eat in. Main departure from my first visit is that I fucked up and should of got the duck n more lol

Get the best for the price you pay here people! A bit crowded for busy hours but service is quick cause they try to get you in and out in a timely manner. I always order duck and crispy pork on rice, they slap on some greens and you're good to go. Best dollars spent for lunch or dinner! If you're sick, opt out for some congee. I usually go with the pork and thousand year eggs, so good that I believe it could cure anything! (But that's just my belief)

Wonton SoupCombination Pan Fried Noodle house special fried rice crispy fried chicken. Mmmmmmm. Wonderful!
