We saw this place while walking by and made a note to go back later. Very glad we did! The soup dumplings were great and service was fast. We were there a bit after lunch and it was basically empty, but food was very fresh and delicious. The pork and noodles with brown sauce were also amazing. They have hot chili oil and dumpling sauce on the tables to use as well, both were very tasty.
I've been walking past this Dim Sum spot for *years* without ever going in, so I was thrilled to finally enter and have some dinner. The menu is long but surprisingly there are only 3 soup dumpling options, while other dumpling and entree choices dominate the menu. It worked out fine, however, because the soup dumplings were delicious! I got the crab meat with pork soup dumplings and the roast pork steamed buns. The dumplings were rich, fatty, and luxurious to eat while the buns, on the other hand, were a light and airy affair. Both were delicious.
The restaurant itself is small and unassuming, tucked in the ground-level car passageway under the Pennsylvania Convention Center's flagship hotel. The place has a $10 minimum for dining in, and a $15 minimum for using a credit card to pay, both of which I easily reached with just two entrees and a water.
The service was good - nothing extremely effusive or warm, but things came out quickly and correctly - and the atmosphere was as expected: a classic Chinese-American mom and pop restaurant look.
Overall, I'm glad I finally stopped in, and I can confidently say I'd go back.
What an amazing restaurant! Food was excellent, service was quick. Our drinks never got empty.
The Peking duck was crispy and juicy. The braised pork cold was amazing.
My only complaint is trying to find parking.
