Pin Wei

Went for lunch twice this week with my mom and brother and the food was outstanding! We ordered three different dishes and each had their own distinct flavor the first lunch. We mixed things up with a chicken, veggie, and pork dish the second time. Excellent, delicious food! All the veggies on the dishes where fresh and well presented. The restaurant seating area is very clean with good AC! Terrific family owned and managed restaurant we plan on coming back often.

A little different from the "usual suspects." Any aficionado of Szechuan cuisine has doubtless been to several Han Dynasty stores, a couple of Dan Dan's and maybe D. J. Kitchen, etc. This place (formerly Pin Wei) is a bit off the beaten path. More elegant than average. Definitely in the league of the best examples, they have some minor twists on some of the usual dishes. Dan Dan noodles were sturdy and al dente, but if peanut and sesame oil were in the sauce, they were subtle. Reasonably priced, and a perfect size to split as an appetizer as the entrées were HUGE. Hot sauce beef came out WAY too hot to dig in, but once it cooled was well-seasoned and not overly-salted (as many others do.) Addictively spicy but not overwhelming. Chicken with dry peppers was another huge portion of tiny, deep fried chicken pieces, surrounded by dry hots, fresh garlic slices, scallions and crushed peanuts. Szechuan peppercorns were present in both entrées providing the numbing "mala" too often missing from otherwise authentic places. Our server (and older woman) was attentive and charming. Whoever complained about the service here likely brought it upon themselves. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth a shot.

We got lucky and found Forever on Google for lunch after shopping in KOP. We went in after checking reviews here, so wanted to give back. The restaurant on the inside is much better than the strip mall store front on the outside. The food is delicious! I'm ethnic Chinese, and the cooking is authentic based on our home cooking and growing up around NYC. Funny, they have a menu section called Americanized Chinese Dishes. I like it, call it as it is. Nothing wrong with Americanized dishes, I'm American and it's what I cook. It's spacious inside and the décor is very nice. Our service was great. The server warned us against our first selection as it might be fattier than we like and she was right, so we picked another dish. The food came really quick. The soup was perfect on a cold rainy day, the sautéed baby bok choi is outstanding, (we will go back just for that), the braised beef was melt in your mouth. Anyway, highly recommended, we wish it was closer to us so we can go often, but we'll make the trip when we can. Sorry for the lame picture, didn't think to take one until we were half way done eating. And didn't want to stop eating too long. :) We think the current ownership is more recent, but couldn't find online when they changed last.

We discovered this authentic Chinese restaurant while we're charging our Tesla. The food is exceptional. Service is not much. The place is clean and airy. They should take advantage of people waiting for their Tesla to be supercharged and offer them promotions to come in. Will definitely come back again.

I absolutely love this place. Best Chinese food around. Would get it once a week in Friday’s when living at KOP. Now I live in Chester county but will still take the drive for take out or dine in. A tad pricey but you get what you pay for in regards to quality; portion size is good as well. Their Szechuan chicken with dry pepper is my fav and compares to philly fine dining Chinese food establishments like Buddakan and Han Dynasty. Friendly staff and owners and food is always on point. Hope this place continually gets the recognition it deserves!!
