Ho Sai Gai Restaurant

This is one of my preferred places to go in Chinatown. The owner is exceptional and very kind. Always remembers when I come in and make sure to take care of me anybody I am with.Regarding the food, the food is just about always on point. One of my favorite dishes is the mango chicken combination platter. Many of the other popular fair is quite similar in quality of flavor. I am a fan of the hot sour soup opposed to the usual wonton . But a general, if you happen to be out late at night, make an effort to stop in and enjoy yourself.And of course, please use the menu listed online as a guideline to what you can expect. The price is listed are old and completely different.

We came here for a late lunch before traveling to the airport for a flight back home. While service was kind and portions reasonable in size, the place is worn out and the food nothing special. It's like taking a trip back to a mediocre Cantonese restaurant in the 1980s. And the dining room probably hasn't been updated since the that era.We started with a large, house special wonton soup that was shared among 3 adults. It cost $20 and they charged extra for a 3rd wonton. The eggroll I got was $4.25 and was meh. Then for entrees we got Mu Shu Pork which was adequate and Orange Chicken that sucked- the breading wasn't crisp and the sauce bland; worse than Panda Express. Entrees too ran about $20 when other places in the area are considerably less expensive.By the time we paid for everything (including what appeared to be a charge for white rice and tea; but the check was in Mandarin so I couldn't read it) the bill came to $100.I won't be coming here again.

I think they need to update their closing hours because when we walked in here later on a weekend night (well before their posted closing hours) , the man running the place was telling us we didn't have a lot of time and that we needed to order soon before the kitchen closes. Service is typical of what you'd expect from one of these places. Not a lot of friendliness and very quick to drop things off, but I'm aware and used to this so it doesn't bother me. The food is also very much so what you'd expect for this type of place. Seems to cater more to tourists and potentially westernized-taste buds. I wouldn't necessarily not come here again, but the main reason we came here is because there wasn't a whole lot open past midnight.

Food was really good. A good find in China town has we hung out the weekend in Philly service was good and nice decor ans ambiance.

It was a clean establishment and they did welcome me when I entered, but the food wasn't good or hot and the portions was small and we had dinner portions not lunch...The waiter was rushing us to order and he wasn't attentive, I asked for brown sauce and he told me wouldn't be gravy and it was and then I told him an he took it back n just gave me less gravy

Food is good and it's open late which I appreciate in a city where everything closes so early, which I still don't understand in the country's 6th largest city. But, it is what it is. . Prices however are not worth it. I ordered a small lo mein and small broccoli in garlic sauce. Portions are extremely small. You actually get more in a single serving at Panda Express, Or better yet, go to Sampan on 13th for much better quality than Panda Express and servings cooked to order that are more than double that of Ho Sai Gai for a little under the same price.

I went because my childhood favorite in China Town Imperial closed after 40yrs..Ho Sai Gai has been around a little longer and I was soooo Disappointed. First Flag It was Empty but ok it's a Wednesday. Secondly there was No food .smells. Ordered Egg Foo Young it had ZERO Flavor and the Egg was web like plastic... The Gravy had jelled by the time I tried to use it my order was Take Out... the craziest thing was when I tried to heat it up IT DID NOT Melt!!! I was done anyway.. I Paid for Overpriced Plastic Flavored Egg Foo Young Please choose wisely

It was past midnight when my friends and I wanted something to eat, but thank God our hotel was within walking distance of Chinatown and Ho Sai Gai stays open until 4 AM on Saturdays. We walked in right before a late-night rush (presumably of people on their way to/from clubbing) and were seated immediately. Their service was fast and friendly, and our server answered all of our questions with a smile. As for the food, the Spicy Hunan Wings were bussin' and had a nice kick to them without the spiciness being overpowering. I also enjoyed my honey coconut pineapple shrimp; however, for its high price point I feel like it could've come with a side of rice and the shrimp could have been de-tailed before being cooked. It was a messy process taking the tail off of shrimp with such a heavy coating of sauce, but they were delicious nonetheless and a side of rice wasn't that much extra ($2-$3 I believe). All in all, Ho Sai Gai was a pretty solid place to grab a late-night meal.

Before i start this i want to make it clear this is my first review on any business and I've had quite a few bad experiences, but this experience was bad enough to make me download this app. Beware of this company they are scamming people and scamming them hard. This couldn't have been a one time experience. I called during lunch time special hours yesterday and ordered two combination platters, a quart of fried rice, 4 extra egg rolls, & 2 cheese steak egg rolls. I was charged $91. NINETY ONE DOLLARS I was so dumbfounded at the price I had to give them a call. The lady answered the phone and said "Hello" instead of saying the restaurant name like she originally did when I placed my order ... it was like she anticipated the call, i said i just had a pick up .. and before i could finish my sentence she said "i know i gave you menu look at prices". the lunch combination platters are literally only $14.95. She decided to charge me for dinner prices during prime lunch time special hours. i guess because they want more $$ in their pockets. The wonton soup they provide with this luxury dinner special had literally 1 wonton in it. ONE. Overall the food was mediocre at best and definitely not worth $91. The one time i didn't ask for a total before hanging up, so i guess it's partly my fault. The lesson learned was the only good thing this restaurant had to offer.

Wow! Incredible! Huge portions! Great price! Friendly staff! Soo good!!!! Worth a trip
