Taijiang Snackies

We love finding hole in the wall places with great food and this place did not disappoint. It's a small place with only a few tables and the only signage outside is a green and white "Chinese Restaurant"We ordered the fried dumplings (5 per order) and the taro cake. The total came out to $3.75 and was both tasty and filling. We will definitely be back to try the noodles and soups.

If you're an OG, you know this is the place where you can get fast, authentic Chinese meal for less than $10 (YES!!! So affordable). I've been coming here since I was in middle school and prices remained relatively the same. My go-to orders: cold noodle, wonton soup, dumplings, fried taro cake. You really can't go wrong with any of the dishes served here. Support small businesses!

This is the smallest, dingiest restaurant I know of in Chinatown. (Yelp demands a phone number. Do they have a phone? I'm not sure they do.) But this restaurant, which seats about twelve people, does a brisk lunch business because the food is delicious and the food is cheap. And I do like the atmosphere, because it reminds me of eating in China.The menu has only about twelve items, which I consider a plus. The duck noodle soup is well-seasoned, much more interesting than Chinese noodle soup often is, full of fat, filling and richly satisfying. But the standout dish is the fried dumplings. You get five big dumplings for $3.50, smoking hot, full of pork and greens.Not much English is spoken here. In fact they do not have a sign in English. (I tried to put the Chinese name in the review, but Yelp deleted it.) But it translates approximately as "Taijiang Snackies", and as the first reviewer, I hereby declare that that is its English name.Addendum 2015-06-08: I went in today and got Chow Lan Fun ($6) which I did not like: limp spaghetti with some Chinese cabbage, fried egg, and bits of meat. But I also got the fried dumplings for $3, which were terrific, and enough for a full meal by themselves.

It is a tiny place but easy to find. I ordered the noodles (ban mian) and wonton soup. Both are great and I love the noodles. For a total of $5, it is such a great deal! Highly recommend!

Dingy, small, almost no English spoken. Tiny menu. The food is good and dirt cheap. Reminds me of hole-in-the-wall restos in San Francisco's Chinatown. Love it.

They changed their menu up super recently: it's mostly deep-fried American food now :( none of the old noms like peanut noodles, xiaolongbao, etcRIP Chinese Restaurant, you were one of my favorites and a true gem of Philly Chinatown. Hope they realize their mistake and go back to the old stuff soon!

Not for average American!! This is traditional food from my home town Fuzhou. Small, dirty(for American) and yes they are loud. But!! Like most of Chinese, we eat with our mouth not our eyes. It bring back memory, taste just like how I had it when I was kid. Been going there for over 10 years and I will continue to for next 50 years! Highly recommended for Chinese and open minded American. Must get items. Wonton and peanut Butler noddle. In Chinese 偏肉，伴面
