Tasty Place

Had my memory there and today is the last day the are being in business. Is the busiest day I have seen since I go there quite often over in 3 years probably because of the article. The Chicken wings were sold out since everyone wanted to order them. So far my experience has been positive, maybe I didn’t have much expectation, maybe it reminds me of my childhood. I went there not for the food but for the history and memory that came with it. Sadly there’s one less place remain that’s witnessed the golden era of the Philadelphia Chinatown. Best wish to all of them and we’ll see what the future holds. Farewell, Tasty place.

This place is truly a gem hidden away in a basement in Chinatown. I visited on a early Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy. I decided to order the salted wings as per the many recommendations I read online, and I was not disappointed. They were truly good. I wish I was feeling more adventurous, but I decided to go with a dish I am familiar with, and one that isn't actually traditional - general tso chicken. Again, I was amazed how this preparation was so much better than the numerous other general tso chickens I have had in the past. Service was excellent.

Whoa. Talk about a hidden gem! Look for the yellow banner, walk down the stairs into the supermarket, and Tasty Place is on the right. Small place with no frills, limited seating, and complementary hot tea. Do yourself a favor and order the salt baked wings (12 pieces in a large). Wontons are handmade in house - a rarity these days!
