We moved to our area in West Philly last summer, and have been immersed in the Ethiopian, Thai, Vietnamese, Mediterranean and Indian that surrounds us. Then a couple of weeks ago, we realized we hadn't gotten Chinese take out in...ages. Enter Best China Inn, which we found super highly rated on Grubhub. I placed an order with some old stand bys - sweet and sour chicken, chicken and broccoli, crab wontons, mongolian beef and fried rice. We usually do some General Tso's chicken too, but I wanted to wait and test the waters since that can be hit or miss. Luckily, we'll probably be back soon for the General, and his comrades. We loved it all! The beef was tender and not tough or fatty. The chicken was all well prepared. The veggies were fresh and cooked perfectly. Don't get me wrong - this is definitely take out Chinese fare. But they do them, and they're doing it well. We also got all of that food (with a 10% pickup tip) for $28, so not a bad takeout price (with ample leftovers). If you're in the hood, give this place a try!

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. Really good pork fried rice and moshu too. The portions are great for the price. No dining in and no entering the store. You pay at the door, if you didn't pay online. I wouldn't order online as the prices are oddly a bit higher than you'd expect for a service. Call in your order, show up with cash and enjoy your food!

This is strictly takeout. There is a wide variety of American Chinese food with a good selection of proteins. This is not gourmet Chinese, but sometimes you get a craving for kung pao chicken or lo mein. Egg rolls are great.

We've been through periods when we ordered a lot of delivery from Best China Inn. They have a fairly extensive vegetarian menu with mock meats.Here's a summary of some of the dishes I've tried -- I use ^ to indicate a half-star and * for a full star. So, ***^ means 3.5 stars:VEGETARIAN: IMITATION MEAT***^ Vegetarian Beef Ho Fun is solid, with good-textured rice noodles*** Vegetarian Chicken with string beans*** Vegetarian Beef with broccoli**^ Vegetarian Beef Szechuan-Style was okay but bland**^ Vegetarian General Tso's Chicken: just ok** Vegetarian Chicken Szechuan-Style** Vegetarian Moo Shu Chicken was bland and boring. The accompanying "pancakes" themselves were not a good texture.* Vegetarian lemon chicken: worst thing I've had here, dry, horrid. I do not recommend.Vegetarian Kung Po BeefVEGETARIAN: OTHEREggplant with Garlic SauceVegetarian Stir-Fried Bean Curd with Garlic SauceVegetarian General Tso's TofuANIMAL***Pork Egg Roll: solid**^ Roast Pork Fried Rice

I've always considered this place the best, most consistent deal for Chinese food in the area. Quick delivery if that's what you want, good student lunch specials, and better quality meat than other places nearby. Love the beef lo mein, veggie or pork egg rolls, and general tso's.

I ordered beef with broccoli and sweet and sour chicken. They only gave me 1 tiny rice for my two orders. I honestly had low expectations for an Americanized Chinese food restaurant but what type of disrespect is this? I ordered sweet and sour chicken and you really gave me some fried meat with dipping sauce. I ordered sweet and sour chicken not chicken nuggets. Never ordering here again.

I'm not sure where all these photos of insects are coming up because I live next to this place and have never had anything other than decent Americanized Chinese food.Not the most friendly establishment, but the food is alright. You're not greeted when you walk in, or acknowledged up until you order. There is a standard assortment of your deep fried wontons, chicken/beef and broccoli, and General Tso.They have a student special for $6.75 that includes white/vegetable fried rice, a side (or drink), and a main dish.The portions are large for around $5.50 a piece and fill you up. It's comparable to going to a food truck to get your fix. There's nothing that really makes this place special or different compared to the other Americanized Chinese food places in the area. It's not bad either. Good bang for your buck.

Best Chinese food in Philly I've tried so far! It's Takeout only and I plan on ordering from them again. I ordered delivery and it took less than 35 min and the food was hot and very flavorful.

I've never left a Yelp review before but it was necessary this time... Potential customers beware: I just placed a lunch order here for the office and found what look to be maggots in my steamed tofu and mixed vegetables. I called the restaurant for a refund on the entire order and they said all they could do was refund that item alone or send out a replacement. Other people had vegetables in their orders as well but the restaurant did not want to refund the whole order and of course we did not want any more food sent. The restaurant rushed me off the phone and expressed no concern whatsoever that there are bugs in their product. I hate to bash a restaurant like this but bugs in the food is unacceptable and disgusting- we won't be eating here again.

Food is ok. Service is terrible. I asked for a combo plate they said they can't do that with the items that I wanted. They then proceed to charge and give me a large in everything. I understand the pandemic hit someBusinesses hard but that was unnecessary and a little disrespectful.
