We just had the most delicious meal here! It was recommended by a local who's family has been coming here for over 25 years! And OMG were they spot on. The dumplings were the best dumplings I've EVER had; I wish they were located back home in ATL. It's a small, family owned and operated restaurant, and we watched the mother make the dumplings before frying them and serving them to us 🥰
Have been coming here for years and every time I visit I always get the salt and pepper squid. It does not disappoint. We got the pecking duck, salt and pepper squid, walnut shrimp and eggplant steak in garlic sauce . This was enough for four people. Very delicious, friendly staff. One star off because I wish the portion for the walnut shrimp was similar to the other dishes but all in all, amazing!!!!
Came out to dinner here over the weekend for a birthday celebration with some friends and it was the most fun I've had all year! We got there around 8:30 for the late dinner crowd and started off dinner with the place to ourselves.
There were a lot of us out, and we were being very loud playing table games while eating and drinking, and the staff was fantastic! There were cheering us on, and in full support of our Drunkin Fun!
Will definitely come back out here next time someone's hungry for Spicy shrimp and a good time.

Such a tasty meal and nice restaurant shouldn't go unmentioned; that's why I revisited Shiao Lan Kung restaurant in the "Chinatown" section of Philadelphia. It was raining and Saturday crowds were a pain, but I was alone at my table - only the staff was with me. (All the "action" was at the hookah bars and glitzy "named" places nearby.)
If you want GOOD, TASTY Cantonese and other Chinese dishes, however, you need to go HERE! For nostalgia's sake, I stuck to hot tea (which was a little weak, to be honest, but still good) and Beef with "XO" Sauce, which is a savory, umami-filled dish with tender slices of beef, snow peas, carrots, scallion and a mildly spicy, crumbly seafood-based "sauce" that's a Hong Kong staple of sorts. The dish, served with steamed white rice, is frankly all to need to really enjoy your time there.
I've eaten here before and it was and is consistently good. Portions are sizable but not obscene. Flavor is number one here and appreciated. (The Yang Chow Fried Rice is some of the best I've ever had - and that includes Hong Kong itself, and their dumplings are INCREDIBLY flavorful.)
I encourage you if in Chinatown to skip the usual haunts and try this place. They're open late on the weekends if you're looking for an after party food fix. (Just keep in mind that occasionally, that'll give it that 1AM Waffle House vibe - if that matters to you.)
Go to Shiao Lan Kung - you won't be disappointed!
Best restaurant in Chinatown. There’s no better place than this staple here. Authentic and delicious!
We have been going here for years and even through some changes in ownership and price increases, the food remains excellent! This is our go to spot in China Town.
I had the wonton soup it was good. The spring rolls were ok. If I went back I’d get another appetizer not the spring rolls. Unfortunately, I did not try an entree there. I am sure they are good.
The Peking Duck was great. The dumplings were huge and delicious!
One of the absolute best Asian food places. \m5
I had the baby shrimp pan fried noodles. It was delicious and portion was very generous. Very friendly and polite service. I will return.
Delicious Food and Very Fast service. Host treated me and my brother very well. Will come again.
Outstanding Chinese joint albeit w/a bit of a slow service. Had the Shrimp Egg Foo Young as well as the Sweet & Sour Shrimp and both dishes hit the spot. Highly recommend you give the place a shot!
The food is always amazing, especially the dumplings, and the staff is always nice and super attentive!
Food was good. I had the triple delight, more chicken than scallops or shrimp. Large enough servings. I was surprised they didn't have brown rice or Chinese mustard and you got one big bowl of white rice to share. The beef with ginger and scallions was tasty. Both dishes were listed as recommended on the menu. Wonder why the plates were refrigerator cold and if that was why our food wasn't really hot, but warm enough not to be considered cold. Prices were good for the serving size. I would go back. Nice place if you want to have a good spot in China Town you are familiar with but willing to try some others occasionally. BTW great spot to witness celebration for 2020 Chinese New Year.
I'd passed this place so many times before in Chinatown and always wanted to give it a try. So, a few weeks ago, I came in for dinner with my husband and a friend.
It is a really small, hole-in-the-wall restaurant, but something about it feels very homey and authentic to me.
We ordered the tofu pot, Chinese broccoli, sizzling pepper steak, beef chow fun, and fried dumplings. If I were to come again, I would order the same things (except for the beef chow fun which was nothing special). My favorite was the tofu pot. The fried dumplings were also different than what I'd had before. They were the size of small empanadas and deep fried and drenched in sauce. Not the pan fried dumplings I was used to, but I really liked them. The waitress was also very attentive and constantly came back to fill our water glasses. All in all, I would come back and eat here again!
Best general tso's chicken I've ever had.
Wow tastes super cool i love it. Open late!!! Go for late dinner
Could use more meat in their dumplings and wonton soup. Service was good.
One of the best places in Philadelphia to try delicious and authentic Chinese food. Their dumplings are incredible and juicy, and the great thing is they actually make them.
Their salt baked triple is a delicious dish with a nice mix of crispness and softness. I have been eating at this place for years and they never miss.
