I ordered a lunch special and thai bubble tea. I am definitely happy with my order. My food came with a choice of soup or salad and it was delicious. Can't beat the price and was packed nicely for delivery. Will definitely be ordering again!

I'm in between 4 stars and 5, but I will give it 5 stars. I came during a hectic lunch rush around 12:15 pm on a Friday. The place was jammed packed with school-aged kids. It was about a 30 minute wait to get my food and drink which was unexpected. However, the customer services was probably as good as it could get. Despite there being about 50 kids in this tiny place, the staff handled it well. They took all the orders, did not overlook anyone, and got all the orders correct. I ordered takeout and everything was delicious, the bubble tea and the fried flounder was way better than I thought it would be. I'd probably return during a different time of day or order ahead, but I'm sure to return.

Amazing food, especially my favorite, the soy garlic wings. Just did a video on them on my Instagram (Vinny from South Philly), wow so good!

Awesome take out place! Good prices, and the food is hot and delicious. I'd particularly recommend the wonton soup and Sesame chicken. Everything comes well packaged too when you grab your food. Definitely my go to Chinese place.

This is an absolute gem of a place! You don't usually find a cafe/restaurant with an extensive food menu *and* bubble tea that are BOTH good. The place is definitely a hole in the wall, but again the food is really incredible flavor and quality, the staff is very kind, and there are even two cute puzzles on the tables (tictactoe and jenga) so you can pass a little time. There's even a bathroom downstairs you can use if you ask nicely. Don't miss this place if you're in the neighborhood! In the photo: general tso's lunch special, wonton soup, korean chicken strips (with the soy ginger sauce that I specifically requested- it normally comes with korean bbq sauce), and two bubble teas (mango and a special fruity one, both with jelly.) Every single thing tasted awesome p.s. I added photos of their menu! yw ;)

Very friendly staff, good food, and very nice interior. There are jenga games to play when you're waiting for food, and the tables are usually clean. I've gotten the Strawberry Green tea and the cookies and cream ice cream (which I haven't had in a while). The green tea is well made and it's a refreshing drink after a long day. I certainly will be coming here again.
