    Shrimp rolls
    Thalie A.

    Tasty and surprisingly not greasy or over salted. Ordering for delivery was easy. I haven't been here for a couple of years so not sure how it is inside anymore. The food was still hot on arrival and all items were packaged well. No spills. We had shrimp lo mein, shrimp foo young, BBQ ribs, shrimp fried rice with wings and shrimp rolls. All pretty good. My mother enjoyed her lunch.

    Bourbon chicken...just like Cajun King at the Plymouth meeting mall used to make. I mean what a throwback...what a novel concept to have to add back a fan favorite after a couple decades gone by.

    Ordered from here using Uber eats. The deliver was quick which was nice. The food was good, if you are craving Chinese food in the area this will do

    The Hunan Wonton - fried and delicious
    Mike C.

    Have you ever seen the movie Oldboy? There is a scene where a prisoner is fed wontons for twenty solid years in a row every day or weekly (watch the film- its a good one). He later escapes and in order to find clues to find the people that incarcerated him searches out for the same wonton he has been eating all those years. Well folks, I too have been searching out the best wonton in all the land! Under very different scenarios mind you but Eureka it has been found!! The hunan wontons are the key detailed in picture below. What a tasty fried wonton with o such delicous meat inside. They are bathed quite lavishly in hunan sauce but you can always drain out the excess sauce that pools at the bottom of the container. I also tried the Seafood Wor Ba soup. I would most compare this soup to an egg drop soup but with shrimp, pieces of imitation crab cut up, tiny pieces of losbter? or is this some form of crawfish? You got me... The soup is a nice alternative choice from the run of the mill soups from most chinese take out restaurants but I would not rush back to order it. Lastly, I ordered the General Tso's Shrimp. There is a ton of sauce on these but I feel like this is the norm in all chinese restaurants plow the sauce on because that's what American's want? The Shrimp itself are very good if you can find a piece not drenched in sauce or ask for the sauce on the side. Well there it is...try the hunan wontons. Warning, after trying them you will be highly critical of all other wontons that enter your mouth! And as always people SYOY!! Until next time. Detective Mike.

    This is my second visit to this restaurant this week. It speaks volumes since I'm quite particular about authentic cultural foods. My first visit was random. I had a taste for Chinese food so I knew I would get it but where. I've visited a few places in the Roxborough/Manayunk area and it was decent. I was at Target and I saw the bright red lights that spoke to me...come into Ruby Chinese Restaurant so I immediately yelled it. It didn't have the best reviews or the four star minimum that I like to use to gage whether or not I'd patronize that business. Needless to say it was three stars but I was right here. I took a chance The best chance I've taken in a while. I order the shrimp fried rice with extra shrimp times two for $2 extra. It was delicious and fresh. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the rice was tender yet firm. I have decided it's the best shrimp friend rice ever and I've decided this will be my go to Chinese restaurant. Come by and try for yourself. Today I'm getting beef and broccoli but instead of steamed rice, I'm going with, you got it, shrimp fried rice with an egg roll to top it off. I spoke too soon, my food came out wrong of course they remade it but now my rice and egg roll wasn't hot ugh... I just had her give me a fresh egg roll cause I don't have time to wait for fresh shrimp fried rice despite me paying extra. That was a bit of disappointment of course so I bumped the stars down by one.

    Soft, barely cooked Tofu that should have been crispy!

    We order through Uber Eats. Very inconsistent quality. At times, they will send absolutely inedible food. Sometimes good quality. Sometimes terrible. Tonight terrible and should never have been served.

    108. Chicken Fried Rice.

    so delicious, quick delivery, very flavorful !! love the size of the chicken bites, even though the onion chunks are pretty big as well. the egg roll was pretty solid as well.

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!

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.
