Asia on the Parkway

Asia on the Parkway is an Asian restaurant at 1700 Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, PA, in Center City near the Logan Hotel. For visitors looking for a convenient meal close to the Parkway, it offers a relaxed place to sit down and enjoy lunch or dinner. Customer feedback describes a pretty, comfortable setting and friendly, welcoming service, making the restaurant a practical choice for both a casual meal and a gathering with others. Its location also puts it near the area’s seasonal Christmas Village, as noted by diners visiting Center City.

The menu includes Chinese and Thai options, along with familiar choices such as wonton soup, spring rolls, sesame chicken, and chicken with broccoli. A diner who ordered from the Thai menu felt that the meal did not reflect the flavors they expected, so guests with specific expectations about Thai ingredients or preparation may want to ask about a dish before ordering. Other reviewers describe the food as tasty and authentic, and several say they enjoyed their meal. This range of feedback is useful context: preferences can differ by dish, and the menu offers more than one Asian cuisine to explore.

One reviewer praised the lunch menu for its generous portions and value, while another described finding a hot, tasty meal close to the Logan Hotel. Diners also mention attentive, friendly staff and warm hospitality.

The restaurant may also work well for groups. One customer described arranging a private room for 38 people, ordering ahead, and having the meal ready to go with help from Jimmy and the staff. That experience suggests it can be worth contacting the restaurant in advance when planning a larger gathering or coordinating food for a group; confirm arrangements directly, since availability and details can vary. Whether you are stopping in for lunch, meeting friends for a meal, or organizing a group visit, Asia on the Parkway offers a Center City Philadelphia location, a menu spanning Chinese and Thai dishes, and a setting customers describe as welcoming and relaxed.
