Unsure what "dim sum" actually is? Consider it in the Chinese version of "tapas". Loosely translated, it means to touch the heart. With so many options, it'll fill your stomach 1st!
Pearl Heil-DolmatzMay 28, 2012It is nice to take a walk absorp the culture. It is a nice area, the people are very nice and especially helpful because I tend to get lost. Anyway, there is good food!- Visit PhillyMay 1, 2012The PHLASH trolley runs Fri, Sat & Sun from 10-6 pm May-October 28, 2012. Just head to stops 3 or 17, buy a $2 ticket & you'll be on your way to seeing more of Philadelphia's attractions and museums. Read more
Such a nice variety of great places to eat. Almost feels like China!
Tea do, tea talk, and tea magic is a great chill spot during your lunch break :)- Valkrye131 (MB) Haslam-HouckFebruary 13, 2010Philly is "sister city" to Tianjin, China. Visit the "Friendship Gate", have some awesome cuisine, shop for authentic food, clothing, furniture & knickknacks, attend the Lantern Festival, enjoy.
S MCJuly 30, 2013Look for parking coupons online! Authentic Japanese food that you can't find anywhere in Jersey!
Lots to do and see here --not just Chinatown attractions but Franklin Park, U.S. Mint, Federal Reserve. Have an educational blast!- Try Sang Kee Peking Duck! Amazing! Ken's seafood, Jade Harbor, and David's are also must try's!
- Want to celebrate Chinese New Year? On NYE, "different date every yr" head to 10th Race by midnight to catch the parade, the fireworks, and course, the people! Gung Hai Fat Choi! "Happy New Year!"
- J LJune 9, 2010Tai Lake Restaurant (10th Street across from fire station) is a must visit place if you are looking for authentic Cantonese cuisine.
Craig DaBossApril 15, 2013Ask for hot mustard .....tell'em the real HOT MUSTARD....it will open you up
Axel GeislerJune 21, 2010Best parking lot is at 8th & Race Sts. For an award-winning yet cheap meal, head to Sang Kee Duck House right across the street at 9th & Vine Sts.
Filming movie in alley apparently most of limitless wit Bradley Cooper was filmed here in Chinatown, not in NYC!
Dan UszakFebruary 2, 2011Nice place to visit, but all three of us got sick at one restaurant a few years ago. That never happened in China Town in New York City !
Dickson YuenAugust 25, 2013Take a dump in the middle of the street and become a full fledged Chinaman!
Beware. Don't leave anything valuable in your car in plain sight. Lots of car break-ins lately.
- Nan Zhou's hand-drawn noodles=life. On Race btw 10th & 9th
While Chinatown's restaurants are yummy, the streets are filthy dirty!
