Fu Man Lou — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I've never been to the store (I can't speak to the atmosphere) but I have been ordering regularly for a while now. The fried chicken wings (whole wings) are the best thing ever. I don't even like fried chicken fr, but the meat falls off the bone and the batter they use is perfectly seasoned. It's nothing too crazy which I like but it's still crunchy and they're equally good cold as leftovers. I've also tried the "plain broccoli" (it comes in a brown sauce), veggie fried rice, veggie egg roll, and steak roll. They use fresh broccoli every TIME and you can tell it is not frozen, they cook it a little al dente which is nice cause I hate when it's waterlogged or soggy with the sauce. They used fresh veggies in the veggie fried rice and cook everything perfectly. Their homemade ice tea is bomb and the container came NOT sticky/not spilled which in my experience always happens when you get it delivered if its not wrapped in plastic. super fast and accurate w the delivery orders. a+ on everything....

I called to ask if the wonton soup had pork in it, but the person who answered the phone wouldn’t give me a clear answer. Instead, he kept asking if I wanted a small or large size. I explained that I was interested, but it depended on whether it had pork. He went silent for a moment, then asked again if I wanted the soup. I asked, “Does it have meat in it?” but it was clear he didn’t speak English well, and he ended up hanging up on me because he didn’t understand.

It’s frustrating and disappointing — the food looked great online, and I really wanted to try it, but that phone call was a bad experience. I’m not sure how a business can operate effectively if there’s such a communication barrier...
