Good Chinese Delivery
Hi,
Still settling in here, both in Philly and in Old City. Can someone recommend a good place for Chinese delivery? I'm sure there are tons of great places, esp in Chinatown, but what's the best? And what should I avoid?  Thanks for the advice... Elizabeth

Based on recs from the Queen Village/Bella Vista forum, we've been ordering from Golden Empress:

We've ordered from Szechuan Tasty House - 215-925-2839, Chinatown - and No. 1 China - 215-271-8982, South Street. Both are decent. No. 1 China is more along the lines of what I expect from Americanized takeout/delivery Chinese food - which is sometimes just what we're looking for. They also have combo plates (entre, rice, egg roll).

When I lived in Society Hill I used to order from Szechuan China Royal on Walnut, between 7th and 8th, which prepared good, standard dishes. Don't remember the particulars or know the status now, as I haven't ordered from there in years. Assuming it's there, I'd say it's worth trying.

Pagoda most definitely delivers; it's fine, overall, especially the noodle dishes.
Better is Szechuan Tasty House, which can be really terrific: thing is, like a lot of places in Chinatown, there's a long menu with a lot of mediocre stuff (e.g. beef with broccoli) on it, and a few dishes that are really good. My recommendations for STH are: ma po tofu twice-cooked pork dumplings with spicy sauce shredded duck garlic pork and, oh hell, just read Philadining's post about it and do what he says. Dude won't steer you wrong.

Corydon, Found a Szechuan Tasty House menu on the ground as I walked into our condo complex tonight. I take that as I sign my husband and I should try the place (or someone thru trash on the ground). I really like spicy and the menu looks like they will have what I like.
