Asia On the Parkway

Green curry has good flavor. Will definitely order from here again. Current rating of 3 stars seems low for overall quality and price for food.

We love this place! We eat there every time we’re in Philadelphia. I like the mango chicken or the moo goo gai pan. My son loves the shrimp lo mein.

Came here after the marathon just for a quick meal before taking off, food was below average service was okay, not a place I’ll visit again if I’m back in Philly.

The best Asian restaurant around! Love the Thai food. My favorite is the Dim Sum app. I’ve been coming here since it opened and never had a problem. Food is good, service is accommodating, the owner John is very nice. Everything made to order.

We had dinner here the other night because we were going to a concert at the Cathedral and wanted some place nearby. There are not a lot of good choices in that immediate area.
I agree with some previous reviews, if your principal criteria is that you want Asian food, then head down to Chinatown, but that said…
What we got was good, but not spectacular Americanized Chinese food — Moo Shi Chicken and Singapore Mei Fun. We also got the Hot & Sour soup and Spring Rolls. The soup was quite good, but the Spring Rolls were mediocre (I wouldn’t get them again). The mains were good, but nothing to write home about. The portions of the mains were quite large, so if we go again, we will likely get a larger appetizer and share a main.
The service was fine, attentive without being overbearing.
Yes, it is a bit pricey for what you get, and you would be better off in Chinatown; but for us it was just across the Parkway to the concert venue. Given the other restaurants in the immediate area, I think the tab would be a wash.

A friend at my table realized that his water glass literally had lipstick on it. And not just a mark or small wipe, I’m talking a full on imprint of a very full bottom lip. I don’t have the picture, but I will post it as soon as I can get my paws on it. The fiasco was brought to the waiters attention, who shockingly scoffed at him and proceeded brushed it off — which stunned all of us. I know that in this day in age, make-​up and lipsticks are crazy — with the abilities to have X amount of hours in lasting wear, but you have to question the sanitation of this establishment if they’re really serving customers on clearly used tableware.

I went by myself for an end of winter March early dinner. I ordered the Peking Duck and it might have been the best I’ve ever had. And… I’ve been in Beijing five times and dined at fancy and casual restaurants with Peking Duck. Homemade pancakes, all the accouterments, crispy skin and succulent meat. It was way too much for one person but, of course, I ate it all.
I also ordered some side dishes which were good, too. The service was outstanding although there were only about eight of us in the restaurant at this time of day. Next time I’m in town, I’ll go back there; I haven’t stop thinking about their Peking Duck!

I’ve been here multiple times for group lunches with work colleagues. Prices, portions and quality are very good, and mid-​town location is perfect when you crave Chinese/​Thai/​Asian food but don’t have time for Chinatown. One of my go to dishes is Singapore Rice noodles — mildly spicy curry skinny rice noodles with thin slivers of shrimp chicken and pork. They make it perfectly! Another favorite is mango chicken (served in its halved out mango shell). You can’t go wrong here for a weekday lunch out.

After enjoying our Benjamin Franklin museum we walked around looking for a place to eat. It was a beautiful day so we wanted a location with outdoor seating. We came across this Thai\ Chinese resturant. When we first arrive a female waiter approached us she gave asked if we want to order something to drink without even giving us the menu. We asked her to give us a few min until after we see the menu. She returns 2mins after to ask again, we were still not ready she looked some what annoyed. She then return wanted to get our order told her to get us the drinks with appetizer and return for our order. A gentleman approached the table and we place our dinner order. Our dinner came out first before our appetizer. When we told the gentleman that we had ordered appetite said oh I didn’t know, anyways we got our appetizer 3min after dinner was served. For appetizer we had wings and dumplings. Wings were about 2 out of 5 just fried chicken and the steam dumplings were 2 – 5 flavor was bland we had to dip it in soy sauce to give it some flavor. Dinner had the orange chicken the small pieces of chicken were amazing because of the sauce the bigger chunk of Chicken tasted bland had to submerge it in the sauce. My husband ordered beef dish was pretty good 4 out of 5. My girlfriend ordered chicken shrimp curry noodle. Noodles were dry and lacked sauce she rated 3 – 5.

Eh. Same response from all four of us as to how the food was. Service was decent, can’t complain about that. However, as many others have said, the food is overpriced for how marginal it is. We went because it was close to work and just to try it, but will probably never go back again.

Convenient, but it wasn’t anything special. It was downstairs from the hotel we were staying at. Hunan chicken was below average. My friend ordered a lobster and chicken dish, and claimed it was a uneditable, and threw it away. I put the blame on my friend for his bad order, because he thought the quality of Chinese restaurant lobster would be equivalent to fresh Maine lobster. If I were smart, I could have went to Wawa around the corner and got a sandwich for 5 dollars, that would have been better. However, my friend was cranky, and wanted food immediately, so we ordered from downstairs. Convenience comes at a price. there are plenty of nice restaurants in the area, I just thought that this would be halfway decent Chinese food, given the prominent location.

So I live close to here but never went before. I was feeling sick. last night and so checked it out so Indian have to walk far. I ordered spring rolls, soup and Thai skewers. My check was about 20 bucks.
The spring rolls were delicious. Very fresh, not too greasy and a nice size.
Soup was good. Skewers were a bit spicey, but good.
I think my big complaint for this place is that it seems like it is trying to be fancier than it is… the food is good, but I can get similiar quality in Chinatown for less. I didn’t try the entrees, but sweet and sour chk, for example,. was around 13 – 14 bucks.
That being said, I would go back since it is so close to my place. I would not hesitate to get the spring rolls, that’s for sure. Additionally, the service was good. So no complaints there.

I am sorry I didn’t hear the words of the Unilocalers who hated this place. This is the worst Pad Thai I have ever had. I am not one to send back food but I am halfway thinking about it and asking for something different. Only thing is now I don’t have faith anything else would meet the standards of Thai or Chinese to which I have become accustomed.
Follow the advice and avoid.

Never had orange steak. The sauce was light enough to not overpower the meat. Great food

Great for delivery, they are pretty speedy.
We had take out from Asia On the Parkway last night. They give good portion sizes. Its definitely an easy go to place for take out. If you are ordering a spicy their «spicy» Pad Thai isn’t all too spicy just a heads up.

I wanted a quick lunch, but I also wanted to sit outside, since it was such a nice day. The outside seating is fun for people watching. It took a while for us to get seats outside, but once we were seated the service was fast. I ordered the Chicken with Basil Sauce and it included asparagus and bell peppers. I like that’s they had the option to order brown rice or white rice with my meal.

Food tasted pretty poor. Think old microwaved chicken. And on top of that it was pricey.
Used an online ordering system and they told us that we should call in instead next time instead of ordering on seamless (probably because they have to pay a fee to seamless). They said it like 3 times. All three of our orders were ready by the time I walked over.

Got delivery from here on a Friday night and they came really quickly (I mean I do live 2 blocks away but still) and I was very impressed. I got one of the Thai curries and I had plenty leftover for lunch the next day. I was craving it for lunch!
They have a good amount of vegetarian food which is always a plus for me!

Snuck in before 10p closing time for dinner.
Big menu of Thai, chinese, assorted cuisines. Went with the chum chee duck, which reminded me of Malaysia more than Thailand but was very tasty. Tom yum soup was suitably spicy. Shiu mai were very large and a highlight. Somehow mango and sticky rice were not on the menu — their desserts are cheesecakes mostly. So opted for tiramisu cake, which fit the bill. Nothing extraordinary here but service was good, menu offered lots of variety, prices were reasonable, and we had a nice meal.

I should have known, when they had barely few tables filled up on Friday 8:00 PM. Me and my friend ordered a vegetable spring roll for our sides and a coconut curry soup. The soup is below average and instead of vegetable spring rolls, we got chicken spring rolls.
Called the owner and returned it. Didn’t ask for replacement. The main course was just edible. Tofu and shitake mushroom were dry. Hardly I could eat it with the rice. My friend ordered pad thai, which is the only good meal out of all we had. I would never come here again.
