Luis Pui Wah Restaurant

Best Chinese food in the city. I've been going here since I was born, my parents have been going here since the late 80s. I highly recommend the hot and sour soup, the pan fried pork dumplings, the salt baked squid, beef and Chinese broccoli, and the chicken lo mein (ask for it old style). A must visit every time I'm back in Philly!

The best Chinese restaurant in the city of Philadelphia. The scallops fried rice is sensational. I once delivered from Lee How Fook to Jose Garces the Iron Chef himself at his townhouse southeast of the Art Museum. He ordered Won Ton Soup for two (for 1) and fried chicken. It was then I knew this spot was legit and though I’ve only had it a few times since, it didn’t disappoint.

Excellent dumplings, top 5 easy. I didn’t get any sauce but they honestly didn’t need it. Great texture, good filling, would definitely order again. Hot and sour soup is also excellent, comes in a monster portion and is packed with veggies, tofu and meat. Pork buns were also a hit. Not the best I’ve had, but they were solid enough. I would order again. Orange chicken blew my mind. Tender and moist chicken inside a fantastic tempura breading smothered in thick sweet sauce. This is definitely a winner here. Fried rice was also good, the chicken is quality cubed dark meat and I wouldn’t hesitate to order this again. Singapore noodles were nothing special, I would try something else next time. Not enough curry or spice or something. That being said, it did have plenty of meat and veggies mixed in so it’s not like I left hungry. Pad thai was not pad thai… tofu had good texture, noodles were fine, just no flavor. Stay away from this. Pretty small dining area, 8-10 tables but there was no one around on a Wednesday night, though lots of takeout folks passed through.
