Dim Sum House by Jane G's - University City

Unless you are craving Chinese food in such a way that is making you really really sad, just don’t. This will make you sadder.

Review – Dim Sum House (Philadelphia) Dim Sum House in Philadelphia is a great Chinese restaurant with a fun and efficient way of ordering: you get a paper menu and a pencil, and simply check off what you want. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for trying multiple dishes without any fuss. The food comes out fast and everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. The eggplant with sauce was delicious, perfectly cooked and full of flavor.

Prices are very affordable, especially for the quality and portions, making it a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. 📍 Conclusion: Dim Sum House is a must-visit in Philly if you’re craving authentic Chinese comfort food in a relaxed setting. Great flavors, fast service, and excellent value for money. ⭐ Overall rating: 9/10 🥟 Best: the pork dumplings and eggplant dish. 🍚 Worst: nothing major to point out. 💸 Price: cheap and absolutely worth it.

Some of the soup was tasty but salty that day. I don't want to judge the soup on one experience. I totally enjoyed the barbecued spare ribs. A sweet, savory Asian spice mix and …

The food was good, but the serving size was too small for a Chinese place. Beer is great, but it’s Sapporo beer - hard to make it bad. Also a bit noisy inside.
