    a close up of some food in a styrofoam container
    Gloria E.

    Picked up through doordash pick up. For about 13 bucks, I got crab rangoon and general tso's with a spring roll. Quite a deal! Plus one of the only chinese places in the area that allows you to pay online before, so you don't need cash. The general tso's chicken was an okay flavor (no spice), but upon futher inspection, I began to question if there was any chicken in it. While the portion was large, most of the chicken was actually fried breading. I counted only a few obvious bites of meat. I enjoyed the brocoli and rice though, and the shrimp roll was a bit fish, but alright.

    I just moved to Brewerytown, and after a long day we were looking for something to eat that's close by. It was late, so most everything was closed, but we found Lee's Kitchen. It was easy to find a spot to park on Girard and walk over to Lee's. It's one of those places where you walk in the door and there's a big plexiglass wall and behind it is the person taking orders and the cooking staff. So no seating anywhere, but we weren't looking to sit, we wanted to grab and go. We placed our order and it took about 15-20 minutes, but they were pretty busy so the wait was expected. I could tell this is a favorite neighborhood spot for late-night eats, lots of people came by in their lounge clothes to pick up food then walk back home. They had the typical Chinese food on the menu, and they also had stuff like popcorn chicken, cheesesteaks, fried shrimp, chicken nuggets, Buffalo wings, etc. They had lots of drinks on display, candy, as well as cigarettes if you're a smoker. So typical almost bodega-style stuff. Once we got home the food was great. It was nice and warm, and just what we needed after a long day of walking boxes and furniture around. We had the sesame chicken, general Tso's chicken, spring rolls, and crab rangoon. The chicken was great, nice and crispy, not soggy like you get from some places. I was a little disappointed in the crab rangoon, there wasn't very much filling in them, instead they were mostly the puff pastry dough. The sauce for dipping was great, I was very happy with it. A lot of places will give you runny, watered down dipping sauce, but this stuff was nice and thick and actually stayed on when you dipped the rangoon. They did not give us fortune cookies, which really bummed me out. So after a long day we had two happy tummies. This will probably become our go-to Chinese spot in the neighborhood.

The food is consistently strong, and the signature dan dan noodles are a must-order. We also tend to get the chicken potstickers, scallion pancake, kung pao chicken, and dry pot beef, along with white rice for the table. It's a menu that rewards repeat visits. We've had both takeout and dine-in here, and we definitely prefer dining in. The food is at its best when it comes straight out of the kitchen. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and kind without being overbearing. For seating, we prefer the cozy but small upstairs dining area, so making a reservation on OpenTable is usually a good idea. There are a few high-top tables downstairs near the kitchen and windows, which are also great, but if you prefer a quieter or cozier spot, we think the upstairs is best. They also offer a happy hour with good prices, and overall, the value for the food quality is excellent. We often bring out-of-town guests, and it's always a hit. Sichuan cuisine remains distinct from typical American Chinese, which helps Dan Dan stand out. We've also noticed their Ardmore location, which appears to be a strong alternative. Consistently good, well-run, unique, and worth visiting, especially for the dan dan noodles. Highly recommended and hope to be back soon!

    Man I had such high hopes for this place especially the dandan noodles and I was terribly let down…read more Got takeout on the way back home from a night out and my food was ready almost immediately with the extra spice I had requested. Glad I didn't opt to dine in as seating looked extremely limited and cramped. Stuck with a simple dandan noodle (this is what they're known for) and while the portion size was large, that's pretty much all it had going on. Sauce was decent but not enough to mask the doughy, overcooked noodles and grease puddles all over The worst part is it definitely upset my tummy and I did not feel good at all the day after. Tasted and felt a lot more like cheap lomein at panda express than an upscale Chinese restaurant

    We came here around 1pm on a Sunday and ordered the mapo tofu with noodles, the house special…read morenoodle soup, and a shrimp stir fry. This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.

A bit on the higher priced side for this dish but as I've had some great food from a different Han Dynasty location I didn't mind trying them out. Portion size was average on the chicken. The spice level says 8/10 but it was definitely on the weaker side. Maybe the peppers themselves were older / dried out and the flavor faded too much vs fresher peppers right before cooking. Maybe a bad choice of dish or an off day but as compared to a few other Sichuan dry pepper dishes from other restaurants around Philly it was a clear step below them. Might try a different choice if I order again.

Kitchen is separated from the dining area by just a curtain. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and were promptly seated. There were a few full tables. Service was good. I feel like their food has lost the charm as well. It's still pretty solid sichuan food but it's not the same as before. Dan Dan noodles lacked meat and flavor. Spice level 7/10 in entrees was not so spicy anymore. All in all, i will definitely eat here again when I'm craving Sichuan food but will keep looking for alternate options.
