   Too noisy and tables packed too close. The waiter asked us to move our chairs to different positions so she could get by, but even then I was frequently subjected to bumps by the wait staff as they tried to get to another table, significantly detracting from my experience. Not coming back!

   Didn’t get seated until 15 min after our reservation. Extremely loud inside. Food is top notch, service is a bit slow.

   Fantastic food and great gluten free choices. As a celiac, I felt very safe eating here and did not get sick after. We will be going back.

   Overall very good dining experience. The restaurant is located in the heart of Chinatown with street and garage parking nearby. It is bright and cheerful and moderately comfortable. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Started with cocktails which were quite good and reasonably priced. The menu is extensive. The food was very good. It is Szechuan style and spicy if you like it. Many less spicy options available Tea smoked duck was a hit as was chicken in garlic sauce. Spring rolls were tasty but overly greasy. Didn’t get dessert. They do offer takeout and delivery. This is one of the better Chinese restaurants in center city.

   EMei was a great dining experience. The menu was vast, the service was great, and the food was exceptional!The craft cocktails were also really tasty. If you want a guilty appetizer, try the scallion pancakes! The restaurant was walking distance from the convention center, so it was a nice dinner option during my conference. I will definitely dine there again when visiting the city of Brotherly Love!

   It was so great to have something that reminded me of the Chinese meals in New York of my youth. Great seemingly authentic and we left thinking we couldn’t eat for a week.

    The food is great but it is crowded and loud. I could not hear the person across the table from me without having to almost shout. Still very good food with some unique dishes.
