Could use more meat in their dumplings and wonton soup. Service was good.

Best fried dumplings I’ve ever had. I hope this place never closes!

Fried pork dumplings, salted baked wings, and Chinese broccoli were all great. Generous portions. Open late. Unassuming atmosphere.

I had the wonton soup it was good. The spring rolls were ok. If I went back I’d get another appetizer not the spring rolls. Unfortunately, I did not try an entree there. I am sure they are good.

Been here before, truly the best fried dumplings in Philly. They offer dine in!!

Such a tasty meal and nice restaurant shouldn't go unmentioned; that's why I revisited Shiao Lan Kung restaurant in the "Chinatown" section of Philadelphia. It was raining and Saturday crowds were a pain, but I was alone at my table - only the staff was with me. (All the "action" was at the hookah bars and glitzy "named" places nearby.)If you want GOOD, TASTY Cantonese and other Chinese dishes, however, you need to go HERE! For nostalgia's sake, I stuck to hot tea (which was a little weak, to be honest, but still good) and Beef with "XO" Sauce, which is a savory, umami-filled dish with tender slices of beef, snow peas, carrots, scallion and a mildly spicy, crumbly seafood-based "sauce" that's a Hong Kong staple of sorts. The dish, served with steamed white rice, is frankly all to need to really enjoy your time there.I've eaten here before and it was and is consistently good. Portions are sizable but not obscene. Flavor is number one here and appreciated. (The Yang Chow Fried Rice is some of the best I've ever had - and that includes Hong Kong itself, and their dumplings are INCREDIBLY flavorful.)I encourage you if in Chinatown to skip the usual haunts and try this place. They're open late on the weekends if you're looking for an after party food fix. (Just keep in mind that occasionally, that'll give it that 1AM Waffle House vibe - if that matters to you.)Go to Shiao Lan Kung - you won't be disappointed!

The food is phenomenal omg the vegetables are out of this world and the salted fried wings gently advertised are bone cleaning delicious

Awesome everything, unfortunately they close a little early... No more late night munchies after work for me..
