    Tofu and peatips

    Always love the dishes from Shing kee -Homey, healthy and wholesome. Dishes always come out fast and piping hot. Great for big families

    Greens with garlic

    Not going to lie, I chose this spot because it has a large parking lot and if you are familiar with Philadelphia, you understand what a huge plus this is! The menu is vast, with many authentic Chinese dishes, as well as "American" Chinese. My husband and I shared the salt and pepper pork chops as well as a bowl of hot and sour soup and greens with garlic. All of that for less than $35. The service was fast, the food was delicious, and we will definitely be back.

    I like this place, they have good food here but they did not open for dine-in until today I visited philly. They have good rice with salty fishes. Their crispy noodle is good too. The service is fast and nice. They packed up the leftover food for us when we couldn't finish them.

    My family has been going to Shing Kee for a very long time, ever since it opened. Its our familys go to spot when we want to eat chinese in South philly. The workers/owners are always super nice and friendly. This the spot to go to if you don't feel like driving to Chinatown and finding parking when you're craving for canto food. Recently, we came with a party of 7 on a Sunday night and it was fairly crowded, but we were seated within 5 minutes. We ordered 5 dishes and the food came out super fast. My parents absolutely loved the deep fried chicken, and I also think it is one of the best dishes here (even better than Chinatown's). The salty fish fried rice was also delicious, better than most places. The birds nest was OK, we've had better. Even with 7 people and 5 dishes there was alot of left over. Overall, the food was good, service was good, there was parking, and it was all fairly priced.

    Solid Cantonese food in South Philly without having to schlep to Chinatown. In fact, many dishes are just as good if not better than ones you can get from Cantonese places in Chinatown. I strongly disagree with the reviews that suggest the service is bad. It is not super friendly and smiley, but that is purely cultural. By Cantonese standards, the service is more than fine because the tables are tended to quickly, the food comes out quickly, the check comes out quickly after the end of the meal, they often give you orange slices at the end, and it is open late. Favorite dishes include the home style fish hot pot (not the grouper one), stuffed triple delight, ginger scallion lobster, roast duck & wonton noodle soup, and salt pepper fried chicken wings.

    French style filet mignon
    Kimberly H.

    This place is a fushion between Chinese and Viet food. It's a family style sharing kind of place. My boyfriend and I ordered three dishes and it came out to be about $60, which was a little pricier than expected. But I also got French style filet mignon which is usually an expensive dish! It was perfectly cooked and delicious and I highly recommend it! We also got deep fried salt and pepper calamari and honey walnut crispy with mayonnaise shrimp but both weren't as satisfying as other places I've had it. I would return to this place to try other dishes and to order the filet mignon again tho! So highly recommend for the experience!

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.
