So annoyed I had to download the app for the first time within a half hour of visiting. Hostess behaved so terribly and unfriendly I don't think I'll be back; I regret tipping her. Not to mention, I ordered take out for lunch and received no utensils or napkins. For the portion, I don't think it's worth it It was a cute place to sit down. read more

Dim Sum House - Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Service was good. The waiter was constantly checking on us, which was good! Food was ok. We ordered the spicy soup dumplings and fried buns. These orders have more portions than other places. Soup dumpling order had 8 pieces and the bun order had 6 pieces! Fried pepper beef was on salty side and the hot sauce may not be needed besides the long hot green pepper. The place is spacious! Well occupied on a Thursday night. read more

Great takeout spot! So easy to walk in and pickup (order online or via phone). We really loved the spicy pork soup dumplings and Szechuan green beans!! They were super flavorful and the green beans reheated well the next day. Would pass on the asparagus. It's good, but nothing special. (I want to try the eggplant!) read more

Great experience. I think I'd like going in a larger party sometime so can order a bunch of small items and everyone share. The menu is large with a lot of options. Almost too many to pick from!! They have a vegan menu but ask the server. There are items not on that menu they can swap out the protein for tofu or setian read more

The food was so good and nice menu with pretty amazing dishes. Everything was well-cooked and quality was so fantastic especially the ingredients. We ordered the Pork Soup Dumplings, Don Don Noodles, and Chili Oil Wontons taste so delicious. The dumpling has nice texture and well-seasoned. The noodles has great texture and broth has nice flavors. The place was cool and feels comfortable. read more

Came in for a few quick dim sum baskets on a Saturday night. Sat at the bar, though the dining room and pick up orders were very busy. Dining area is one large room divided from the bar. Beef dumplings savory and very filled inside, 6 per order. The shrimp siu mai were much larger than expected! Crystal shrimp dumpling decent. Pork and leek dumpling also tasty with spinach, and 3 per order. Price pretty good for the portion sizing here. Some of the noodle dishes coming out from the kitchen also seemed large. Thanks read more

I have been here several times and my usual is the Spicy Pork Soup Dumplings. This time, we got the sticky rice in banana leaf, egg custard bao and spicy pork bao in addition to the spicy pork soup dumplings and everything was phenomenal! My favorite of the bunch was the sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf - I had it with the chilli oil and it was such a satisfying meal in itself. I think it would be great if you are under the weather and want a pick me up. The egg custard bao was really delicious as well. I wasn't a fan of the spicy pork bao buns - the filling was too less and at the same time the chunks of pork were too big. My only concern is that the floor was really dirty (which I only noticed at the end of our dinner) and I don't think I will want to come back here to eat again. read more

The dim sum here was a miss for me. It still tastes like Chinese food, but having tried dim sum in many places before, I felt that the food here was lacking in flavor. They also stopped making a good portion of the dishes that they show in the photo menu. The only ones they still offer are listed in the paper ordering menu, which was disappointing because we wanted several dishes shown on the photo menu. My favorite dish would be their pork soup dumplings. The egg tarts weren't very crispy and the pickled garlic cucumber didn't taste as good. The cucumbers also had some numbing spice, which might not be for everyone. Overall, it's not a restaurant I'd be craving to visit again. The staff was kind though! Decor looked nice and the restaurant was clean. They do take credit card. read more

Ordered takeout from here recently and I really enjoyed the dry pot style fish - it comes with a small carton of rice and a level 2 is still fairly mild in terms of spice level. Their spiciness scale is not like Han Dynasty, where even a level 1 is painful sometimes haha! The beef chow fun was honestly not great. It was extremely salty and I had a sneaking suspicion it would be even at first glance because the noodles were so dark in color. I would not recommend getting this dish here - consider one of the Cantonese spots in Chinatown like M Kee for chow fun. I dined in once several years ago and remember thinking it was a nice casual spot. Will have to return to try some of their other entrees! read more

absolutely horrible. Ordered dinner tonight. the hot and sour soup was so hot i could not eat it. the shrimp and chive dumplings were cold and doughy and the chicken had no taste. read more

Vert disappointing. We are here about 2 years ago and enjoyed it very much. However, this time many things had changed. The ordering system was confusing ( some dishes for 4 people, others for 2, a paper order form for people to fill out). The food we ordered was also very sweet and saltly (Ho Fun with tofu). The men's room and floor was very dirty and the menu was dirty and almost falling apart. read more

Food: While the dishes were well-cooked, the flavors were a bit lacking. The sticky rice, chicken feet, ribs, scallion rolls, and wontons were decent, but they didn't quite stand out. Cost: The prices were reasonable, especially considering the large portion sizes. Ended up taking the rest back home for later! Environment: The restaurant was spacious and could accommodate large groups. However, the ambiance was a bit generic and lacked character. Service: The service was efficient and the food came out quickly. Uniqueness: While the dim sum was decent, it didn't offer anything particularly unique or innovative. It's an okay choice for a quick and affordable dim sum meal however probably not the first place I would go visit if I'm in the area again and craving some dim sum. read more

After getting delivery for years, I finally dropped in for a quick lunch on Saturday around 12:30 pm. I was quickly seated by a warm and friendly host. As a Chinese American (2nd generation born in USA), I have a decent handle on what to look for in a restaurant. While there are aspects of traditional Chinese restaurants at Dim Sum House, this is definitely far more accessible to customers who might be less accustomed. For example, you need to order tea if you want it (not automatically served), the service is very attentive and helpful (a rarity in many a Chinatown restaurant), and there aren't any typos on the menu! As a customer with a gluten sensitivity, it's a blessing that they are so good at labeling the menu and offering options. I did need to double check with one of the servers who brought a dish with dipping sauce and he did in fact have to switch it out for a GF sauce. So for the very gluten sensitive/allergic, be mindful and kindly remind them. The atmosphere is modern, clean. The music is pop - I distinctly recall hearing Drops of Jupiter by Train. The food was delicious - Crystal Shrimp Dumplings (5 stars) - Snow Pea Shoots (4.5 stars, generous amount of sauce) - Sichuan String Beans (4.5 stars, generous with sauce), - Authentic fried rice with chicken (5 stars) Of note: the bathrooms need some attention (which is the #1 sign for me whether the food is legitimately Chinese and why you should eat here). Bring your hand sanitizer and get to Dim Sum House. It's good! read more

Really food dumplings. The hot and spicy ones were the best. Service was on point. Food came out fast. Extensive menu to choose from. Nice and clean inside. I recommend if you're in the area. read more

What is there to not like about the Dim Sim House? Great selection of little bites. Some great, some very good, some just OK - but all worth it. Don't underestimate how quickly you'll fill up on whatever it is that you order - you'll be tempted to order several different dishes, but you'll likely end up taking some home with you. There are worse problems to have, I assure you. Great big, spacious dining room. You'll certainly want to make a reservation, especially if you're going when the city is expected to be busy. Easy 4 stars. read more

***I had this for take out so can only speak to the experience of the food*** I ordered the Dan Dan noodles with pork and the General Tso's chicken. The Dan Dan noodles were delicious, with a perfect amount of peanut sauce and pork on top. It was just enough spice without an overbearing level that made it uncomfortable to eat. The General Tso's chicken was sweet and just the right flavor. The chicken was decently crispy and the walnuts added a nice flavor. The portion sizes were decent for the price as well. Overall, a tasty meal that hit the spot for a Chinese craving! read more

Excellent pork soup dumplings! Flavorful meat and soup, with the right doughy consistency of the dumpling skin. The beef ho fun (wide noodle) was good as well. The service was good, though sometimes hard to flag someone down, but everyone was nice and accommodating! The tables have good space between them, though can still get a little noisy when it fills up. read more

Went here for dinner last night with work colleagues and I loved the food! Center city sips are on - so $5-$7 drinks and apps! I loved the shrimp pad Thai and the chili oil dumplings the best!! Rest of the food was really good too. read more

This place used to be really good. I recently went a group of 5. We got the worst service I've seen in recent years. We didn't get enough dipping sauces for the table and a tiny bowl of rice. The server looked uncomfortable when we asked for more. They never refilled our drinks and didn't give us napkins until we asked. Also the fish and chips tofu entree had too much salt this time and we wanted to send it back but decided it wasn't worth the hassle. Then they had the audacity to tack on 20% tip. Maybe this is why the service was so bad. If the servers are already getting 20% then they have no reason to provide even average service. The places in Chinatown have better service and obviously cheaper prices. Advice to Management: get rid of the mandatory gratuity read more

One thing I love about this place is the size of their menu: if you have a picky eater, there is no way that they won't find something that they like here! There's plenty of seating, though on busy nights, I would recommend making a reservation. Our waitress was super, and the food service was so quick. The standout dish for me was the lobster canton noodles, followed closely by the soy Brussels sprouts and the edamame dumplings. The scallion pancakes are also delicious! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but their soup dumplings are less flavorful to me than I've had other places. read more

Came here for restaurant week with a group of friends and we were all overly stuffed and satisfied. 100% would return again! Nothing special inside with the decor but a decent size venue with casual dress code. Our waitress was very kind and friendly! The amount of food you get for $45 is insane! I ordered pork soup dumplings for my first course, Mongolian beef for my second and vegetable fried rice for my third course. They gave me 8 pieces of pork soup dumplings! A bit doughy, but the flavor was on point especially when you added some chili oil. The Mongolian beef was okay, but my friend's general tso chicken receives a 10/10. The veggie fried rice looked simple, but it was delicious and seasoned perfectly. The dan dan noodles is a must. Spicy, porky and addicting! We were all so full, but couldn't stop picking at our foods. We each had leftovers, so you definitely get your moneys worth. Great spot! Winners were pork soup dumplings, general tso chicken, dan dan noodles and veggie fried rice! Skip the chicken and mushroom dumpling, Mongolian beef, shrimp typhoon and chicken lo mein. read more

Very clean, seated immediately. Food arrived so fast. The vegetable lo mein was very flavorful. Lots of broccoli cooked perfectly. My hubby had the General Tso's chicken and he said it was very good. It also had lots of walnuts in it, which I thought was a great idea. More protein and a little crunch! read more

I really enjoyed the Dan Dan noodles here and would come again for it's the hot and sour soup was okay - more on the spicy side which is fine but I wish the sour was more pronounced. we also got the xiao long baos and thought they were also just okay, the dumpling was nice chewy enough for us. It's a very open restaurant with lots of seating for weekday dinners. I think the service was very fast and nice as well. read more

3.5 stars. Jane G's has decent Chinese food, but nothing mind blowing. They serve food from many regions of China, but seem to aim for quantity over quality in terms of dishes. While there's a wide variety of options, this also means that none of their cuisines have been perfected. I've previously gone for dimsum, and while their dimsum isn't bad, it also wouldn't be my first choice. This time I got mapo tofu for takeout. It was not bad, but had more chili oil than I would've liked and tasted very different from mapo tofu I've had elsewhere (lots of lemongrass?). It doesn't come with rice, but the side order of rice is about two bowls worth for $1. If you're around this area, I think sangkee on 34th street is worth the walk for for better Chinese food. read more

A short walk from the Helium Comedy Club, the Dim Sum House was a pleasant, tasty experience. We entered and were seated right away. The spacious dining room and high ceilings were surprising. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. We started with Beef Potstickers- which were cooked with a perfect crunchy skin and stuffed with beef, delicious! We followed with the Shrimp & Broccoli along with the Shrimp Fried Rice. We also noticed the large bar to the left of the entrance as well as large tvs for enjoyment. Everything was yummy - the perfect location for a late night snack. read more

Dim Sum House in University City has been one of my go to dinner spots for several years. I recently visited the Rittenhouse location when I was in the area with friends. The ambiance is pretty casual compared to the UCity location. Our server was helpful in answering questions we had about different items. We ordered several different items to share together. I enjoyed the Beef Dumplings the most out of all the items we tried. The Dan Dan Noodles and Beef Stuffed Scallion Pancakes are both items I've tried previously, but both of them didn't taste quite the same at this location. The beef inside of the scallion pancake was cold, and the Dan Dan Noodles had much more oil than usual. This Dim Sum House location was a bit of a miss for me. My expectations were high from my experiences at UCity, but the his location didn't meet them. I don't think my experience was the worst, but I don't see myself coming to the Rittenhouse location again. read more

It's time for an updated review. I came here before the name changed. The decor and everything remains about the same. I came here recently with a friend. Our waitress was attentive and helpful, especially when we had to send stuff back. First , she told me that I ordered the worst dish at the restaurant, the asparagus, which to her is so bland. It was. It tasted like no salt was ever added. My friend's dish came out spicy when we asked for no spicy. We also got salt and pepper salt, which was tender but could use more salt. Overall, it was okay. I don't think I will come back when there are so many other options in the city for similar food. 4 stars, because 3 stars is a bit underrated. 3 and half stars is more accurate. read more

The food was served unevenly and unfortunately not all dishes were HOT. We were six patrons at a large round table ( good for conversation ) bad when no lazy Susan to make it easy to access shared dishes. Servers appeared to be new and inexperienced at handling large platters. I've/we've eaten there many times but probably won't return, the prices weren't commensurate with the experience. read more

Have been going to Jane G since it opened. It was classy and a great evening out for a dining experience. It has spiraled downhill. Even the napkins got smaller. Food came way too fast. It was like "" eat and run" The round tabes for a large party has no lazy susan ( like at other Chinese restaurants) so passing large dishes around is hard , uncomfortable, and certainly not adding to a nice dinner out. I could do that at home. Certain foods require eating with your fingers ie: spare ribs, lobster in the shell. NO FINGER WIPES! All and all, unfortunately very disappointing ! Going back to Chinatown! They know how to do it right. read more

July 26, 2023 my son and I went to Jane G's Restaurant. We had no reservations and were walk-ins. We were promptly seated and a waitress came out to see us. She gave us the menus and explained how the restaurant worked. My son and I placed our drink orders and perused the menu. We ordered: -- Coca Cola (for my son) -- Strawberry Swing -- Lychee, Mint, Strawberry, Tequila -- General Tso's Chicken with Broccoli and White Rice (for my son) -- Crystal Shrimp Dumplings -- Vegetable Dumplings -- Roast Pork Bao Buns Dining is family style, where the portions are large enough for two or more people. My son didn't try the dumplings or bao buns, though. The food was served in a timely fashion and we were able to dig in. The dumplings were fresh and juicy. The Bao Buns were pillowy soft and the meat was juicy and tender. Would definitely order them again. My son was a little overwhelmed by portion size of the General Tso's Chicken and barely made a dent in it. We had to get a to-go box for it. The waitress was extremely nice and was there when we needed her. The ambiance was nice. It was loud, but that was to be expected. Not too loud that we couldn't hold a conversation with one another. This restaurant is great for groups. We would definitely visit again. The only issue is parking. There's a lot right next to the restaurant but they price gouge for parking. You'll probably NEVER find an actual parking spot. Best bet is to Lyft|Uber to the restaurant. read more

The service is at an avg speed for a busy night, not complaints there, but the attitude of the staff was lacking. I walked in and asked for a table of two and the hostess just glanced at me and starting walking to our table. We followed her and sat down at our table and she left the menus at our table. She did not say a single word to us during this whole exchange. We didn't really feel welcome. Anyways it didn't really bug us, but I feel like it would bother other people who want to feel happy and welcomed while eating. We ordered a ton of stuff on the menu and everything was pretty average and expected. There's not really any unique takes on the cuisine except for the extra hot har gao. And I need to warn you guys that thing is VERY hot, they're definitely not kidding. It surprised me because most dim sum items are not even spicy at all. It was so spicy that I didn't want to eat it, but I forced myself to because I didn't want it to go to waste. Another thing i'd like the comment on is that the sticky rice was bland with a scarcity of filling. Authentic sticky rice (lo mai gai) usually has dried scallops/shrimps and shitake mushroom which would have brought more saltiness and flavor. This one however didn't. The dark soy sauce in it was also lacking too. read more

We are back in Philly and wanted to give this place a second chance as last time there was a gee things that they needed better. Inside has a full bar and fish tanks for the freah seafood. Maleah, our server, was very helpful in choosing the best dishes. We started with the spicy pork.soup dumplings, this dumpling was made perfectly with a thicker dough to be easier to lift up without breaking. Followed by a chili oil wontons and then the scallion pankakes and shrimp dumplings then came the Sichuan string beans, and finally, the Singapore mi fun with chicken and shrimp. ( made with curry) All were suggestions from Maleah, which were perfect choices for us. She was terrific and knew the menu well. Each item had its own special flavor and texture. and each dumpling was so unique. I am so glad I came back to give this place a second chance. The crazy thing was how fast the old is served. Suggestions. order one item at a time to have a nice long meal. Otherwise, it comes all quickly. read more

Great restaurant for a casual dim sum night. They have great Happy hour (5-7pm) deals ($5 or $6 dumplings/other small plates) and a few drink specials. The staff is attentive - your water glass will never be empty! The food is high quality dim sum (loved the soup dumplings and pork buns), and with the happy hour deals you'll leave with a full stomach and a pretty full wallet. I will say that the larger entrees are a little pricey (~$25), so I stuck to the small plates. The Rittenhouse location is also really conveniently located ~3 blocks from the square and has both indoor and outdoor seating. Would highly recommend Jane Gs! read more

Top notch dim sum, and noodle house with relatively affordable pricing and a sometimes too loud interior.

We visited there the day before Christmas Eve. It was such a disappointing experience! The waiter was sooooo damn rude! She messed up with our order and bullshit on us. The food was premade and tasted saltyyyy. I'd give a minus 5 stars, if there is an option. read more

My spouse found this place on his way to a barbershop appointment nearby. We were planning on going to our favorite Chinese eatery, Tom's Dim Sum, but decided to give these folks a try. ATMOSPHERE: Easily walked in to an empty restaurant around 5pm on a Tuesday. I was hoping we weren't making a mistake but the place filled up quickly around 6. High ceilings and lots of indoor seating options. MENU: Dim sum selections but without the infamous cart, which sort of takes away from the fun of it all. You mark what you want on a paper ticket. BEVERAGE: White Lotus - $7.00 (happy hour) Their version of a sangria was so good, I had to have two, especially on happy hour! FOOD: Pork Soup Dumplings - $11.00 (8 pcs) Nice and juicy with good flavors, but I didn't care for the extra thick wrappers. Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai - $7.00 (4 pcs) A dish that's hard to mess up. Mainstream and good. Dan Dan Noodles - $12.00 I'm not a dan dan noodle expert but shouldn't the noodles come mixed with the sauce? Here, the thin, weak chili-based sauce was at the bottom of a shallow bowl with plain, boiled noodles sitting on top and topped with protein of your choice in which we got tofu. It was difficult to mix everything in such a small bowl. The tofu was weird too as it had a "skin" on it which looked like sliced portobello mushrooms. What a boring, lifeless dish. Pass. Chicken Feet - $6.00 (4 pcs) Had it not been for the glob of oyster sauce that was lazily plopped on top, this would've been a good dish. It's a different seasoning than what I'm used to but was still satisfactory. Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings - $6.00 (4 pcs, happy hour) Far from being Chinese cuisine but it just sounded good at the time. Wow, the flavor & texture was eerily close to my recipe. Perfectly seasoned and crispy! DESSERT: Egg Tart - $6.00 (2 pcs) My spouse and I love these and they were really good here; buttery, flaky crust and an eggy filling. SERVICE: When the server arrived, I didn't think she'd be good due to her quirkiness, but my qualms were put to rest as our meal progressed. She was very attentive, down to earth and professional. Two elderly gentlemen were dining at a table near us, with one of them being a total rude ass to two other servers. I saw that our server had to take over. I wish I could've seen the outcome as we had to leave, but I'm sure she did well having to deal with that prick. OVERALL: Some hits, some misses. read more

Wow. Didn't even take any pictures, don't even care I know I'm going back there again. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. I did go during happy hour which ends at 7 PM so then the prices were amazing for the amount of food I had. Me and 2 others got the spicy pork soup dumplings, Dan dan noodles, eggplant & shrimp dumpling, edamame, shu mai, vegetarian egg rolls, and lychee martini, wine and it filled us all up and was $70 (not including tip). Not bad for dinner for 3 people. Would recommend, again I would probably only go during happy hour because the price was great. However the food is insane, highly recommend the dan dan noodles, the soup dumplings, shu mai, edamame, and lychee martini. They will be ordered again the next time I'm there, maybe I'll look at something else there. read more

Always love stopping by Jane G's. A great spot for a group to try a variety of dishes. The options for pork were great, the veggie platters were a bit sparse, but still there.

Jane G's provides delicious dim sum/Chinese food that everyone can enjoy. There's a huge menu so you can definitely find something for everyone! They have a little bit of everything from more Chinese centric dishes to Chinese-American centric dishes. I ordered the Kung Pao chicken and Chinese style green beans for a meal that I was sharing with people. Their king pao chicken was loaded with chicken! Sometimes places skimp out on the meat, but not Jane G's. The portions here are huge! The chicken was saucy and not overly spicy. The meat was cooked with chili pepper but it only added flavor not heat. The green beans were delicious! My friend suggested to order these and she was right! They were seasoned with soy sauce and garlic which is an umami match made in heaven! They weren't overly cooked and still crunchy! The soup dumplings were so savory as well! And they didn't come out scolding hot! Idk how they did it! The servers were cool. They were polite and suave and many of them had personal style to their uniforms. The space is large, so if you need a place to bring a large party Jane G's is where to go. Dim sum is meant to be shared with everyone and I think Jane G's Dim Sum House does a great job with the menu and space to make it feel comfortable for everyone. I'll be back with more people next time! read more
