📍Philly Chinatown | Real Talk on Henan Snacks 🍲
If you’ve been in Philly for more than a day, you’ve probably noticed this bright sign in Chinatown. The shop says “Henan Snacks – Hui Mian & Lamb Soup,” but some say it used to be called “Lanzhou Noodles.” Then again, fusion among Chinese restaurants in the U.S. is nothing new 😅—either way, you’ll find everything from hand-pulled noodles to Fuzhou-style chow fun here. 🍜 Rib Clay Pot (Pai Gu Sha Guo) Looks like their signature dish! They did NOT skimp on the ribs—loaded with tofu skin, seaweed, vermicelli, and cabbage. I asked for extra spice and cilantro, and the chili oil they packed was legit fragrant 🌶️✨. 🍲 Lamb Soup Milky-white broth, flavor was decent, and again…so much lamb! 🐑 🥙 Roujiamo (Chinese Burger) Generous filling, though it arrived lukewarm (my bad for ordering takeout). Probably way better heated up! 🥤 Soy Milk Just a heads-up—it comes sweetened by default. 🍝 Hand-Pulled Noodles Let’s…just skip this one. The vibe inside is simple, no-frills, fast-casual style. Prices are around $10–13 per person—solid value for a quick, filling meal. 🐼 There’s a $9.99 lamb soup + roujiamo combo on Panda, plus other meal deals, and you can even stack a 🧧 discount! For us hard-working folks just trying to switch up the lunch routine? Can’t complain! #ChineseFood #PhillyChinatown #PhillyEats #ComfortFoodGlobalEdition
