This is our go-to for Cantonese in Northeast Phila - the food is as good, if not better, than Chinatown, the portions are generous, and the prices very reasonable. They have all of the standard tried and true items and specialize in seafood, like dungeness crab cooked with fried ground pork and seafood pan fried noodles. They also have a very solid black pepper pan fried stuffed triple combo with pepper, eggplant, and tofu-stuffed ground shrimp in a black pepper sauce. The owners are great and they are very happy to make any customizations. A great option for getting Chinese outside of Chinatown - and at better prices.

I read the good reviews about this restaurant ( Lien restaurant next to Ben Thanh super market) on Yelp and google and decided to try it. Bougt food on 6/2/2024. Ordered singapore noodle and chicken wings. The food is bad, very small portion and very expensive compare to the other chinese food around this restaurant area. The menu on google review is very old, the price is all wrong. Singapore noodle is priced 9.99, but when I bought it, it is 14.95 ( up 50% ). The restaurant was empty when I was there to pick the food up. Hope you don't make a mistake like I did. Just want to help someone wants to order know more about this place. Why they have 5 starts reviews, probably it is old reviews???
