Something about a nondescript knock out corner Chinese takeout spot just warms my spirit. My pork egg roll was hot and fresh and paired perfectly with duck sauce. I got the beef chow mei fun and whoa. How is it so good?? The beef is slightly thin with a hint of a crispy edge, and the noodles have a great flavor. I washed it down with a can of coke and again.... How is their Coca Cola even sublime? read more

A Lin Kitchen - 56. Beef Chow Mei Fun - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is the 2nd time I ordered from A Lin Kitchen in the time span of a week. Both times I ordered the ribs, this time I was able to get someone to take a picture. As I was eating the last two, my family asked what is going on over here? I said, these are the only things I'll ever order from them again, just grabbing each rib and tearing them up. These ribs were crispy in the right places. Everything else was great too, we were all just sitting down making plans for a family members funeral service and this was the quick, tasty dinner to keep us going. read more

Best cheap chinese takeout i've had in philly. The price is decently cheap and the quality is great. Tried this place on a whim through grubhub and ended up being amazed. It's exactly the type of comforting chinese takeout you want when you're craving it. Plus the freebies when you order over a certain amount in $$ is such a steal! read more

Ordered Uber eats on a Saturday night. Super fast and hot. It's 4 stars because I didn't like the hot and sour soup and my hunan chicken said spicy but wasn't spicy at all. Good flavor though. I also ordered some veggie lo mein which is also good. Instead of rice I ate the lo mein mixed with hunan chicken. I'll definitely be ordering again and asking for extra spicy z read more

Best late night drunk food place to order from! They are so inexpensive for the quality and quantity they give you.

Great portions, and exactly what I was looking for. Couldn't wait to dig in before I took the pics. read more

The food is amazing their boneless spare ribs are the best in the city. The delivery usually takes long because they are busy but it's worth the wait read more

Really bad food poisoning!! AVOID Moved to Philly last month and was ordering regularly from A Lin, this week I got soup for dinner and got food poisoning so bad. Laid me out for two days, I'm just recovering. Won't be back ever! read more

For the last 6+ years I've been searching for the best lomein in the city. As of last week, I don't have to look any further. A Lin Kitchen's shrimp lo mein was the perfect combination of flavor, little grease and just heaven. Lots of shrimp and I couldn't stop eating it. The lomein alone I'd give 10 stars to, but the rest of the meal was good, but not great so 4 stars overall. The won ton soup was average and so were the spring rolls. The spring rolls had vermicelli noodles in them. My husband got the general tso chicken. The flavor was good but not spicy and wasn't crispy. (The lack of crispiness may be from delivery so we'll try it again once we can dine in). Overall if you're looking for solid Chinese or are craving lomein- look no further and definitely order the lomein! read more

I ordered here through the app DoorDash (my first time using the app). I chose this particular restaurant because it had great reviews, especially those praising fast delivery and order accuracy. Delivery was fast and the food was tasty, but my order was missing items. I ordered the sesame chicken combo platter with pork fried rice and my roommate ordered steamed dumplings. The combo platter is supposed to come with an egg roll, which I did not get. I also got white rice instead of pork fried rice. I was REALLLY craving pork fried rice, so this was a major let down :( My roommate said the dumplings were tasty, but had minimal filling. The sesame chicken was delicious. Overall, the food was good... but I am disappointed to have not received the full order I paid for. I recommend the place based on the food's taste(it was yummmmmy sesame chicken), but I would recommend picking up the order yourself so you can make sure they included everything you paid for. read more

Half way through my order I found the leg of a insect in my meal. I have no words, not only am I disgusted I'm sick to my stomach. Needless to say I will never order from them again. read more

Threw the order out. I couldn't even revive it, that's how terrible it was. You have one job. Don't bother offering takeout if your food is not cooked properly & you're not going to follow instructions. What if we had an allergy ? You're just ripping people off during a pandemic. Straight up, hope this wasn't your mother's recipe. She would slap you lol Lean Cuisine does a better job. Take some pride in your work. Close earlier if that means your kitchen is going to slack. Whole meal taste like it was thrown together in five minutes, in a microwave. Find a new career, this isn't the first time. read more

Think twice about A Lin Kitchen. Food is just ok; Customer Service BAD! . Sending the warning out, I don't have energy to to write the missel, too hungry, read more

Consistently my go too spot for delivery. Not only does the food come in a fashionable time, it's also delicious. I get the General Tao's or the Sesame's Chicken with an egg roll! Everything comes with rice and it's always hot and always on point! I will use this place as the go to Chinese delivery spot! read more

Delicious and consistent Chinese take out restaurant. I usually pick up my food and it is always ready early. Plus, the food is always hot. Excellent General Tso's Chicken and Chicken with Garlic Sauce. Both dishes are the perfect blend of sweet, savory and garlicky. I also like the Kung Pao Chicken, but I like the chicken cubed versus sliced. The flavor is still excellent. The best part is that this place is consistent, unlike a lot of Chinese places. This is my new go-to Chinese take out! read more

Wish i could leave 0 stars. Ordered take out. No flavor, worst pad Thai and drunken noodles we have ever had, when we called the restaurant and they were rude, actually hung up on us. Do not order here, we tried to make it right but horrible customer service and really not good food. read more

My favorite Chinese food fix. They have the best wonton dumplings in a sweet spicy peanut sauce. I order this every time! You would never think to order this on the menu but it is insanely worth it! All of the other food has been amazing as well. They are open pretty late on weekends, they are my go-to! read more

Quick delivery and tasty meal. The Szechuan chicken had good flavor and the crab rangoon were perfectly fried little crab and cream cheese pouches :) read more

Good food, reasonably priced. Our delivery woman was awesome. She realized our drink was missing and went back to get it for us!

Delivery is fast. The kind of egg rolls you dream about. Crab Rangoon to die for. I'm a big scallion pancake fan and was not disappointed. It isn't all sunshine and rainbows, not overly thrilled with the pork dumplings (fries or steamed); they just didn't do it for me, a bit doughy. Overall a top notch option for Chinese food. Good price, fast delivery, quality food. read more

I will definitely order again. The wontons in their soup had a great amount of meat in them and I got plenty of them in my soup. The food was good and on time. read more

They do Chinese food right. I get the spare ribs, fried rice, and wonton soup every time. Very reliable and cheap. Best Chinese place I've found in the city so far read more

My favorite go to delivery Chinese food. Food always comes quick, accurately, and most importantly, delicious. Their Crab Rangoon is the best I've had in the city. The General Saos combo is my go to meal. I didn't get fortune cookies with my order, which was disappointing, but the food was so good that I didn't take any stars away. read more

Above average regular Chinese. And they're in South Philly, so prices are cheaper. Soup broth was very good and genuine. Food seasoned well and good fresh veggies. Better than average egg rolls. Will be back. read more

Trying to find a good take out chinese restaurant. Read the reviews and gave it a try. Food was fresh and not salty or greesy. Now my new south philly go to place. Good food and resonable. read more

I'm very picky with my Chinese takeout! This was my first time ordering and I was very very happy with my purchase definitely will be ordering from you again. BUT - you didn't leave a menu I highly recommend to leave menus the next time you deliver, besides that it was great thank you for making my chicken extra crispy lol read more

Our new go to Chinese delivery restaurant. We ordered dinner on a Thursday night. Delivery was fast and everything came hot. The Sweet and Sour Chicken we ordered was still extremely crispy, as was the Sesame Chicken and Crab Rangoon. The Sesame Chicken was honestly the best I have ever had from a delivery restaurant. You can taste the sesame oil in the sauce, but it's not overpowering - not an easy task when working with sesame oil. I definitely recommend it. Can't wait to try their other dishes! read more

So far, the food is good and the price is right. It's a great spot when you have a bunch of folks over and want to try a little bit of everything. read more

I like A Lin. It's clean food they listen to small requests and they give you utensils and extra sauces. Food is good and they never mess up my order. My go to China spot read more

Not the best food but at least their order accuracy and speedy delivery make up for the average-ness of the food. But this is your typical corner Chinese joint...what are you expecting? read more

Good standard Chinese. I have had some really bad delivery around here, but you can't go wrong. Veggies are crisp and fresh. Not too much goopy sauce. Ordered delivery and it came on time with a friendly delivery guy. General Tsao's Chicken and vegetable lo mein were really good! Dumplings were very thick. Wanton soup had nice flavor and plenty of wantons, good texture. I would for sure order from here again read more

When you get delivery, open it, take a bite...and then immediately think "damn, I should've just cooked" is one of the worst feelings. I ordered the shrimp ho fun and it was so bland I had salvage the dish by adding seasoning salt and a healthy splash of liquid aminos. Something clearly went wrong and I think it was the early addition of shredded cabbage and lettuce, which have a high water content, and ultimately ended up watering down the rest of the flavors of the other ingredients of the dish. Also, no napkins were in the bag and we ordered two dishes but only got two soy sauces. Hoping I have better luck elsewhere. read more

Crab Rangoon are absolutely 10/10 and best I've had in Philly. I've lived here for years and never found ANY that I liked except here.

Food is always really good and piping hot when it arrives. Reasonable pricing. I've not had a bad experience with them yet. Will definitely continue to order from them! read more

In my constant quest for good delivery chinese food I came across reviews for A Lin Kitchen. I ordered through the Yelp app. Delivery was quick, around 30 mins. I ordered hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, chicken with broccoli and shrimp in garlic sauce. The soups were yummy and hot. The shrimp in garlic sauce was really delicious. The chicken with broccoli was just ok. However, i would recommend them for delivery! read more

Ordered here for lunch and the delivery came on time. The portions you get are a decent size for lunch special and it's very filling. For the price of $6.50, I got the four seasons lunch special with chicken fried rice and wonton soup. I'd say that's pretty cheap. Even though the food lacked good flavor, I would still order from here again bc I got what I paid for. I would recommend this to anyone who's just craving Chinese food for cheap. read more

Loved this place til I picked up food last week and nobody, including the people cooking, had a mask on.

Solid Chinese delivery service. Scallion pancakes are excellent as is the wonton soup. Convenient quick delivery. Will definitely use again.

Since I live close to A Lin I tend to order from there often. It's not always consistent. I guess depending on who is cooking, the food will be good or bad. Since my last review I've ordered crab rangoon, fried chicken wings (plain and with buffalo sauce), tofu with Chinese veggies, chicken with Chinese veggies, and beef with mushrooms. Sometimes I get old or spoiled veggies in my dishes, which is disappointing and questionable. Crab rangoon needs more filling. Fried chicken wings are good plain (soggy with buffalo sauce), tofu (fried) with Chinese veggies and chicken with Chinese veggies are good, and beef with mushrooms was disappointing (meat was too thick and sauce was weird. It was thick and tasted like it was from a bottle without any real flavor). Spring rolls (fried) were ok (too greasy). read more

Friday night, we decided on Chinese Take Out. There are so many near us. So we order from this one. Shrimp Lo Mein, Hot and sour soup large, Kung Pao Chicken. The shrimp in the lo mein was so shriveled, it looked like dry shrimp. The hot and sour soup looked tan with absolutely no flavor and poured like jello. This was one of the worst American Chinese Food we have ever had. The order came with no napkins and no utensils. Never again read more
