2017 Best Chinese

Hunan

On the eastern Main Line, there are Sang Kee people and there are Hunan people. We side with the latter because of Hunan’s properly prepared Szechuan dishes (watch out for those peppercorns!) and that damn cumin and mint Chengdu lamb, which we could eat daily. Read More »

2016 Best Chinese Restaurant

Ting Wong

This is the restaurant that refuses to die. After closures, re-openings, remodels, and rumors that it would turn into a high-end, white-tablecloth Chinese restaurant, Ting Wong has emerged as essentially the same place it always was — a simple, unfussy spot offering ridiculously good (and cheap) roast duck, congee and Hong Kong-style noodles. It's bright, busy, sometimes sticky and always intimidating to newcomers, but it remains the single coolest restaurant in Chinatown. Read More »

2014 Best Chinese Restaurant

Ting Wong

It's cool if you buy into the whole "Oh, there aren't any good restaurants in Chinatown, so why would I go there?" mentality. That means there are more seats open for us at this fantastic hole-in-the-wall (and more wonton soup and roast duck, too). Read More »

2013 Best Chinese Restaurant in the Suburbs

Susanna Foo Gourmet Kitchen

The menu strays into pan-Asian territory, but the best bets here are Chinese, like the crispy duck. Read More »

2013 Best Chinese Restaurant in the City

Han Dynasty

If Pennsylvania still let prisoners pick a last meal, it would need to supply a lot more double orders of Han Chiang's dandan noodles. Read More »

2013 Best Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown

Ting Wong

Its fast, its cheap, its small (so plan your visits accordingly), but it also has several dishes that are the best versions in Chinatown namely the shrimp dumplings (in any soup theyre served in), the roast duck (which, conveniently, also comes in a soup with the aforementioned dumplings), and the congee.

2012 Best Chinese Restaurant Not in Chinatown

Han Dynasty

This is where we go when we want the best. This is where we send our friends when they come to town asking about places they shouldn't miss. This is the place that, months later, those same friends are still thanking us for recommending. Read More »

2012 Best Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown

Ting Wong

This place might be best known for its roast duck, but that's not actually what they do best. Here, the noodle dishes rule-in particular the off-menu Shanghai-style noodle with pork, green onions and red wine vinegar, served to regulars who know enough to ask for it. Read More »

2011 Best Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown

David’s Mai Lai Wah

Liquor license? Check. Open at 3 a.m.? You bet. Pork dumplings with ginger scallion sauce that are more addictive than crack, heroin and crystal meth combined? Yeah, they've got those, too. Consider yourself warned. Read More »
