Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House

I can't give enough compliments to Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodles. Let me start by saying they're my favorite restaurant in Chinatown/Philadelphia. They're so welcoming and friendly and they'll talk to you if you were the dearest of friends. My family has different dietary needs and they're able to accommodate each one of us, by having different dishes and a variety of dumplings such as: vegetables, curry coconut chicken, chicken and mushrooms, satay beef. My personal favorite is the lamb soup, oh my goodness, it has the delicious umami flavor, every sip you feel hugged from the inside out. Their beef brisket served with white rice and greens is amazing as well. Overall all their dishes are fantastic and the value of the food is awesome. The only downside, it is a cash only restaurant. Keep up the outstanding work and thank you for always giving us the best dinning experience.

Now this is what I call a deal. This was the first time that we visited Chinatown in Philly. I had read good things about this restaurant. We ordered the House Special Noodle Soup and the Egg and Vegetable Noodle Soup. Both with hand drawn noodles. We also got scallion pancakes as appetizers and honey lime for drinks. I actually liked the taste and thickness of the hand drawn noodles. But my partner wasn’t that impressed by the noodles themselves. She said that the it was a bit too thick for her liking. We both loved the soups themselves. I absolutely loved the contrast between the different meats in the soup. The favorite components were definitely the meatballs. They went so well with the noodles and I couldn’t get enough of them. The egg in the other dish was done to perfection. On the yolky side but that’s just how I like it. We both loved the scallion pancakes. They were crispy and delightful to pair with the soup itself. My partner said she loved the honey lime. The total bill came out to just under $30. I give it 5 stars. Absolutely delightful. Will definitely be checking it out again. One of the best cheap eat spots in Philly.

HIGHLY recommend... With prices on the rise, Nan Zhou was very fairly priced. This place is always packed, which is normally a good sign and the servers do their best to get you seated. Service isn't top notch, but it isn't too bad. The noodles were delicious as were the noodles. Can't wait to come back again!

Great food! It is a bit tightly packed but it felt plenty clean and reasonably taken care of. It is a city shop, so table availability might be sparse during certain hours (maybe try a reservation ?). The noodles were great, the rest of our food was fine, I'd happily go back and eat there again. There was a hiccup in service (we couldn't get them to bring us multiple teacups and one pot of tea for example), but that was the only blemish, hardly a real concern.

The noodles had a very good taste in the beef stir fry and the meat was really juicy and tender. All the ingredients gave it great flavor. Girlfriend's chicken fried rice tasted very different compared to other places but the taste was good. Scallion pancake tasted awesome in the soy sauce.

Awesome noodle house! Very popular restaurant in Chinatown. Must try hand pull noodle. A lot of choices: slice beef, spicy beef, etc. Reasonable prices. Good portion size. Cash only. Good place for family and kids. Again, very popular! Get there early! Or go off hours. Otherwise it’s a long wait! But worth the wait.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! The service was great and the staff were so kind to us. The food came out fast and was delicious, they even package your leftovers. The prices were very affordable I got two bowls of noodles (they were very large!), Shrimp Dumplings, and two boba drinks for only $40!

They have good knife shaved noodles, but not better than another shop around the corner. The beef noodle soup had way too much spicy oil but the normal soup was great. Noodles were nice and chewy. Their cold chicken appetizer was not good though. It was doused with peanut sauce and wasn’t authentic.
