Tried out this new Chinese restaurant located on Washington Ave. It was interesting to see something other than a Vietnamese restaurant in this shopping complex. The place is so massive. They have a ton of seating with an interesting stage up front that had a big screen television projecting Chinese tv. The place offers dim sum all day. The condiments included sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce. The steamed dumplings were a lot bigger than I was used to. They only offered chopsticks so we had to ask for a fork because it was hard to grab without them. The streamed shu mai was my favorite of the dim sum dishes. I didn't really like the steam shrimp dumplings. We also got the lava bun. I really found the lava bun interesting. It was sweet since it seemed to have a liquid-like egg custard inside. This place is definitely authentic but the waiter was very helpful since we were really lost on what to order.

This was the lobster it was very good.

I celebrated the lunar new year with friends here and everything was great service was amazing and everyone was very attentive I would definitely recommend to others.

First time trying dim sum and they did not disappoint. I had shrimp rolls, sticky rice, short ribs and shumai. Everything was delicious!

Sophisticated Cantonese dishes that exceeded expectations for Philly Chinese cooking, including an all-day dim sum menu. The large space is beautiful and well lit, with a giant festive LED screen and soft music. The service is charming. We return almost weekly when in town and bring all visitors.

Amazing Cantonese Dimsum. Their portion is huge! The shrimp steam dumplings are so beautiful.

Friends who are on business trips strongly recommend that you come to their restaurant. There are many varieties and they are relatively fresh. Highly recommended: beef offal, fried squid, glutinous rice dumplings, snow skin durian. There are basically no bad dishes. Everything you order is delicious! The environment and service are very good

The service at Furama is exceptional. I came with family for dinner during Memorial Weekend with several tables of customers already seated. The staff were attentive, friendly, and took great care in providing recommendations our family of 5 adults and 2 littles. I highly recommend the Cold King Crab to all seafood lovers. It was so delicious! My family had completely finished the whole plate! The Peking duck recommended by our lovely waitress Ying was also great! I've never had duck so crispy and delightful. The steamed buns and onions provided with the dish made it a fun "taco" making experience for our little ones. The atmosphere is pleasant with plenty seating available and a large center screen. I personally loved the lanterns hanging, and would make a great place to host large gatherings. 10/10 recommend! :)

Dim sum here is the best in the city. Food flavored perfectly and texture is spot on. The new owners have taken the worst spot and made it the top dim sum spot in Philly. I highly recommend

The first dim sum restaurant in Philly with great prices and good portions. Best dishes here was…read morethe Phoenix Bun, Stuffed Eggplant, and their Turnip Cake, but you truly can't go wrong with any of the options. They are known for their steamed pork buns, which tasted good, but not my favorite. I also wish they offered vinegar for the soup dumplings. They provide you with a thorough menu with pictures and you mark which options you'd like. The service is speedy and friendly. Thee staff is fast about removing and bringing plates. The restaurant is rather small/tight, so depending on when you come, you may need to wait a little bit or eat at the bar. A fun part is the wallpaper in the restroom that shows different dim sum options with descriptions.

Last night in Philly, walking distance from the hotel, last-minute reservation -- and it ended up…read morebeing the perfect way to close out the trip. Nom Wah is tiny. Don't let that fool you. This place is a straight-up dim sum and dumpling situation, and it delivers hard. We ordered way too much food, which I maintain was the correct decision. The spread: house special roast pork bun (pillowy, porky, perfect), pan-fried dumplings (crispy bottoms, juicy inside -- the way it should be), soup dumplings (golden, delicate, dangerous if you're impatient), scallion pancakes (flaky, savory, we did not share these equally), spring rolls (classic, crispy, no notes), and honestly some other stuff I've already forgotten because by that point we were deep in a dim sum fugue state. We finished almost all of it. Almost. We tried. And the price? An absolute steal. The kind of meal where you check the bill twice because you're sure something's missing. If you're in Philly and you want dumplings done right in a no-fuss spot that punches way above its weight, Nom Wah is the answer.

I managed to get in a visit to Ocean Harbor before I moved from Philly and I'm so glad I did…read more Everyone I've talked to about cart dim sum said that this was the place to go and it was very true. I haven't had proper dim sum since I was about 10 years old at the Imperial Inn (RIP) so I was really excited, and Ocean Harbor did not disappoint. We came at about 11 AM on a Sunday and were seated immediately even with a large party. The food started immediately, and it would probably be easier to say what we didn't eat than what we did! Some highlights for me (and I apologize for not knowing the proper Chinese names): -A steamed pork and shrimp dumpling sealed horizontally on the top. Definitely different than siu mai, and soooo deliciously tender and juicy. Really good portion size too. -Chow fun. It had that amazing wok-fried taste, and was perfectly chewy. -Egg tarts, just barely set, collapsing into your mouth when you bite them. -Others have mentioned it, but the fried shrimp green rice roll. I'm really not a huge fan of shellfish, but this was so flavorful. -I'm always going to love the chance to have some sesame balls, and these were no exception. Audibly crispy on the outside with red bean paste and wonderfully soft glutinous rice flour on the inside. -Honorable mention to the coconut jelly, which I was too full to eat but my friends crowned with the ultimate compliment of "not too sweet." Ultimately, Ocean Harbor blew past my expectations especially after reading these reviews. You aren't going for the service; there aren't waiters here. Nevertheless, I definitely wouldn't describe anyone as rude, and the pricing was very reasonable, coming out to about $20 per person for a table of seven (not including tip). I can't wait to go back.

Food: 2/5 Atmosphere: 1/5…read moreService: 0/5 Came here regularly 15 years ago, but less and less now in recent times. Food is ok, has certainly decreased in quality after COVID and is more expensive. There are other dim sum places within a few blocks that are much better quality. As others have said, the situation with their staff demanding 15-20% tip has made it so I will not come here again. A tip is not legally required. It is only legally required to cover the cost of your food as stated on the bill. I think the BBB needs to be contacted to investigate their practices surrounding tips and almost harassing customers into paying more than they wish. In addition, they have loud trucks every day disrupting the quiet street behind. Many elderly live there and are woken up by the loud beeping from the truck alarms, as well as trash truck coming VERY early and waking up residents. No consideration for those who live right there. I will be contacting the city about this issue as there was a similar problem in Fishtown and now that restaurant is no longer allowed to have trucks outside of reasonable hours disturbing residents. The trucks are also TOO large to safely turn into their loading station and people park their SUVs making the space even smaller. They constantly case a problem with traffic blockages because of the trucks unable to turn into the loading dock.

So I am visiting from out of town, and I'm staying nearby. When I was preparing to come on this…read moretrip, I checked things out beforehand because I knew that I would be eating out. This place immediately came to mind after I read the reviews, and I ordered takeout tonight. I am very pleased to say that this was an amazing experience! I opted to do fairly simple dim sum, mainly because a restaurant that has "dim sum" in its name should shine in this category. I was able to place my order online, and had the scallion pancake, the pork, soup, dumplings, the chicken and shiitake dumplings, and the shrimp shu mai. The order was prepared, extremely fast, but very attentively. The packaging was thoughtful and protective, without being wasteful. They included a small container of delicious black vinegar/soy for dipping, and some chopsticks. All of the dishes were fantastic! My favorite was probably the shrimp dumplings, and I was happy that it was two for one night. Everything tasted very fresh and well-made. The seasoning was spot on, without being overly salty. My only regret was that after going to pick these up, I noted that the inside of the establishment appeared to be quite quaint and comfortable, and would definitely recommend that people check this place out for dine in options. The staff were very friendly, and made the pick up experience a positive one. So, if you're in the area and really want to have some dim sum, I would definitely recommend this place. I will most definitely be back in the future!!

My friend and I wanted to eat seafood, so made a beeline after work to Jane G Dim Sum House in West…read morePhilly because we knew they had: - whole steamed fish with ginger and scallion - 5/5, we demolished that entire sizable fish with delight - shrimp stuffed eggplant - 5/5, delicious! - sauteed snow pea leaves - 5/5 I'd go back again just for the fish, such a fresh preparation and worth every penny!

Dim sum all day. Now it only is that a way of life, it's reality at Ocean City. From open til…read moreclose, you can get dim sum. Over time, Ocean City has gotten more dependable for dim sum. I love their chicken feet, and their Chinese broccoli always has a "snap" to it. And they've got actual dim sum carts! The dim sum servers are always trying to get me fat, and I'm here for it. This used to be my backup dim sum spot if Joy Tsin Lau was too busy, but now that Joy Tsin Lau is closed, there you go. (Yes, my review update is WAY overdue, sorry about that!) Credit accepted, in case you're low on cash.

They have dim sum with carts! Rare to see carts in this day and age, so it's worth a trip for that…read morealone if you're into it. There were some of the usual downsides to carts--some items were lukewarm (particularly non-steamed items) and the selection was occasionally limited (there were no vegetables or rice rolls [cheong fun] on the carts, so we asked for them off the menu). As other commenters have noted, it was rather salty too. That said, the flavor was excellent. Har gao were some of the best I've had in a while, bean curd was also a highlight. Spareribs, chicken feet, and fried vegetables were standard (good and unexceptional), as were the desserts. Some plates of clams unexpectedly appeared and were tasty though a bit sauce-heavy. I imagine the dim sum might be better some other places that _don't_ have carts, but hey, there's a certain fun nostalgia.

Working late, I came to dine in around 10 PM and had fast delivery of everything I ordered. The food had creative tastes compared to the many traditional dumplings I have had in San Gabriel Valley.

After comparing it to other similar food establishments beforehand and afterward, it just felt less than impressive overall. The restaurant almost felt too traditional in a way, if that makes sense. Some people may appreciate that authenticity, but for me it took away from the excitement and uniqueness I was expecting. The atmosphere and food simply did not leave much of a lasting impression. As for the food itself, it was decent enough, but nothing I would personally say it would blow your socks off. It definitely was not bad or "poor-man food" by any means, but it also did not have that satisfying "I can't wait to come back" feeling either. Overall, it was an average experience for me.
