I Green Dim Sum Hand Drawn Noodle

This place is a very casual environment. The chairs are plastic and so are the table tops. I was excited to try the handmade noodles. However, they had an overwhelmingly strong flour flavor and I had a stomach ache afterwards. The soup itself, though, was well seasoned. The beef was thinly shaved and everything had a pleasant texture. I’ve had homemade pasta before, but never hand drawn noodles. I asked other people, who eat them often, and they told me that it is not supposed to taste like that. It is possible that they only use flour and water (to save money) without using eggs. Eggs add a better flavor to the pasta. I also wasn’t impressed with the cleanliness. When she sat me at the table, there were crumbs on it and she motioned toward the crumbs with her entire arm (above them actually) in a sweeping motion and said «you can wipe these off if you want to» and walked away. If I wanted to clean my own table, I’d eat at home.

After getting off of a treacherous greyhound bus ride, I came here to get a filling bowl of noodle soup with chicken. When the soup arrived, it was very oily with oil bubbles covering the top of the soup and the chicken was suspicious to say the least, but I ate it anyway, being young and nieve. The next day, around the 24 hour mark I felt terribly nauseous with a painful jabbing feeling in my abdominal region. After looking up the side effects of food poisoning, it was clear as day that I had it, and this was the place to blame.

Randomly walked in this place for a late lunch during a business trip. Quite good. Fried buns have interesting stuffing: meat and mushroom and bamboo shoots. Very tasting. The soup with the noodles is great. The complimentary house made pickled bok choy is addictive and goes well with the noodles. I had a lot.

I ordered off of grubhub and the food was AWESOME. It took a few minutes longer than stated but was totally worth it. Don’t let the bad reviews fool you. The food was hot and super fresh, especially the fried pork buns.

This is fast becoming a regular place for us. My husband, without fail, will always get the beef noodle soup, and give himself a big heaping spoon full of suan cai (pickled vegetables). I’ve gotten many different bowls of soup noodles here – beef noodle soup, pork chop, roasted duck, etc. Everything’s pretty good (I’m a fan of their hong you cao shou — wontons in chili oil), it’s pretty cheap, and the server is always so nice to us!
I think their boba is only ok, though my husband always gets a taro one. The boba aren’t quite chewy enough for me, and their taro tastes powdery – but it’s not bad.
We definitely have been back, and will definitely continue to go back :)

Very excellent execution of some basic American Chinese food. Tired, hungry and wanting comfort food we ordered egg rolls, egg drop soup, and sweet, and sour chicken. Right on the money — delicious and piping hot. Maybe some of, the best sweet and sour chicken I’ve, ever had. Fresh, not greasy, and clean, pleasant surroundings…

I Green has an interesting concept — authentic hand drawn noodles mixed with a froyo bar. This review is for the authentic Chinese food portion.
The food was excellent. I always had a morbid curiosity about this place — what type of froyo shop would advertise homemade hand drawn beef noodle? I had to stop in.
Guys, the food is fantastic. Don’t let the bad reviews for froyo fool you. The beef noodle is bar none some of the best I have tasted here in Philadelphia. I am from Taiwan and I’m picky about my beef noodle, so when I find a place that can do it justice, it makes me very pleased.
We also tried the roast duck soup, which was delicious. The dumpling in chilli sauce was excellent, you could tell that it was home made. They use the same flour they used to make the noodles for the wrapper.
I haven’t tried the froyo yet, but froyo is not my thing. I like bubble tea, which they have. They also have a variety of dim sum items which I am planning on trying next time I am here. Definitely will visit this place and try more food.

My daughter’s favorite thing to do is go to China Town and get noodles (and yes, she’s only 7!) We had to go to REading Terminal, and parked right by this place. Any restaurant with hand drawn noodles and dumplings and I’m in! We got takeout around 12:30 in the afternoon. I only add the exact time as to tell you when NOT to go. The man at the cashier did warn me that it would be about 40 miutes for my food due to being busy, so big points for him. we decided to stay the course. and man am I glad we did. We had an order of shrimp and chicken dumplings, a few crispy spring rolls and beef lo mein. the dumplings were great, filled just right with the right texture on the dumplings. the spring rolls were average, nothing to write home about but good. the noodles were AWESOME! YOu could instantly get that «breath of the dragon» taste you expect from wok tossed noodles. the dish was full of very tender beef, green onions, cabbage and perfect noodles. I’ll for sure go back, specifically for that lo mein!

Review is for FROYO:
It’s terrible. Go to yogorino or igloo for much better FROYO. The toppings here are lame and they only stock a few favors at a time.

There are reasons why a restaurant you walk into, would be empty. It’s too early. Its about to close… Food sucks… Which of course, mines was choice #3…
First off, we only ordered three things… Why did i have to wait nearly 30mins for the other two dishes to come out… WHEN OUR TABLE WAS THE ONLY TABLE??? When my dish was FINALLY done., i saw a waiter bring it out… sat it on the counter. poked at it a few times. Why? For the other dude BEHIND the counter to take pictures!!! Are you friggin kidding me here!!! That’s ridiculous! My double cook pork.speechless. I counted 5 ½pieces of pork… the rice was cold… I waited 30mins for cold rice… Great. Just great…

The second time I come. My friends ask me to bring Fudin meat ball soup. I order cold sesame noodle this time. What surprise me is they use hand drawn noodle instead of the noodle from market. Off course hand drawn noodle tastes a lot better. And I bring my friends the cold noodle as well, to share my loved food.

I’m giving this place 5 stars… because 4 ½ is not an option. because despite living in center city, good Chinese delivery is sort of hard to find. We had two different dumplings: both yummy, a noodle soup: deliciousness, general tso’s chicken: really great!
But I really want to say that the spring rolls were amazing. Sort of a cross between a Thai spring roll and a Chinese spring roll (but without the over powering Chinese 5 spice). So good!
Fast, hot, and pretty inexpensive for the amount we got (enough for 3 with left overs).
The half star is for the scallion pancake which were just ok.
I adore the Chinese delivery guys on their bicycles, too.
If you are hungry just ignore the reviews that are yogurt and bubble tea specific and get some Chinese delivery.

Have ordered twice from here, via Grubhub. It did not disappoint.
The first time we ordered a huge selection of dim sum, to create our own ‘dumpling buffet.’ They called to confirm our order, given its quantity, which I thought was quite considerate and displayed strong customer service skills. The delivery came about 15 minutes before expected and the food was great.
We ordered:
–the cheese wontons (³⁄₅);
–dumplings in chili oil (⁴⁄₅);
–chive and pork dumplings (³⁄₅);
–vegetable dumplings (⁴⁄₅);
–chicken dumplings (⁴⁄₅);
–soup dumplings (³⁄₅); wonton soup (⁵⁄₅ — the won tons have a silkier texture than the norm, hence they are amaze balls); and spring rolls (⁴⁄₅ — standard).
The second time I ordered from here, we decided to branch out of the dumplings and give the dan dan noodles a shot. The Dan Dan noodles were good and definitely comparable to Han’s. I’d give I-Green’s Dan Dan Noodles a 4/​5, whereas Han Dynasty is a 5. I-Green’s has more pork than Han’s but less chili oil, so overall a bit less flavor but still in the qualifying category. The General Tso’s was good. Flavorful and tender.
Overall, I really liked it and will definitely order again soon.

In the kitchen (located in the back, behind the whole froyo set up), you can score some fresh dim sum all day. At $ 6, I-Green’s lunch combo is almost tempting, but the basic choices are not thrilling. Instead, bring a friend, and share some plates from the dim sum section.
I sat down and was served some excellent tea. I asked about the dim sum section and the waiter told me everything is handmade and would take about 10 minutes to be ready. Promising.
Fuzhou wontons had to be explained to me; they are like nothing I have ever heard of– meaty wontons in a simply, salty broth. Sounds normal. BUT, the wonton wrapper is made out of pounded pork skin. It gave the wontons an extra unctuous element. Might as well have more meat and less carbs. Dr. Atkins approves this bowl.
When Shanghai juicy buns (soup dumplings/​xiao long bao) are on a menu, I order them. At I-​Green, you get 6 for $ 4.95, a good price. I was skeptical, mostly because of all the genres this place covers, could they know how to execute the elusive soup dumpling? They ended up really impressing me; the broth was unique, rich and with notes of anise. I liked the fresh tasting pork filling, and the sticky wrapper had the right thickness. All soup dumplings lovers should add these on their Chinatown itinerary.
Our one disappointment were the shu mai, which unfortunately, did not taste fresh. Maybe most of the dim sum, but not everything, is handmade.

I haven’t tried the food here, so I’m just going to be reviewing the frozen yogurt.
The first time I went here was after I had just finished a big bowl of Phở down the street and, while walking home, suddenly decided I wanted some tea. I passed I-​Green and saw they served food, so I thought I’d get some tea. I got a pot of Jasmine green tea and it was serviceable. I decided to get some frozen yogurt while I was at it. They typically have taro and green tea on tap, and I highly recommend coming to get these two flavors. These two flavors are what make this place my favorite yogurt spot in the city. While the green tea is really good, the taro is just flat out amazing. Taro and matcha are probably my favorite dessert flavors, along with vanilla, which this place does very well also, so maybe I am a bit biased. Either way, the taro is some of the best stuff I have had.
They have a really nice selection of toppings, with popping boba, mochi, fruits you don’t typically see at yogurt places, along with all your standard stuff (raisins, oreos, etc.) The people here are also incredibly nice every time I go in. Did I mention that it is really, really cheap? Five stars and will be back a thousand more times. Perhaps one day I’ll even try the food too.
P. S. They deliver taro bubble tea and honeydew smoothies.

This place is okay. When I am too lazy to walk to my other Froyo spot (Yogurt City on 13^th and Chestnut), this will do just fine. Their flavors are nice, but they don’t change them up very often, if at all.
Also, I love my candy toppings, but I hate when they are melted! It is way too hot in there for all of that chocolate to survive, plus I have noticed flies the last few times I have been in there. The place is cute, but needs a little bit of help.

What I like about this place is the combination of frozen yogurt and food variety available for different time of the day. As for the frozen yogurt, it is not my favorite place to go but they’re good with lots of toppings. The place is also spacious and nicely designed. The only thing I don’t like is that you have to ask to get mochi candy on your yogurt. I guess people go crazy on it so they have to seal up the container? But still you are paying by the oz so you should be able to get as much of whatever that you want. Besides no other yogurt place does this that I know of.
As for the food, I have tried some items on the menu. It is okay for the price. I was expecting the food however to be hotter when it reached the table. My noodle soup was just warm. The juicy dumplings were a letdown because I was expecting more soup inside of it like the ones from Dim Sum Garden. Overall, you get what you pay for. Not bad.

Cute little combination Froyo place and chinese/​japanese restaurant. The restaurant part is on a separate side from the froyo.
Green tea frozen yogurt = to die for.

I don’t eat froyo often, but when I do, I usually get coconut or vanilla or chocolate. This place didn’t have coconut so I was ‘forced’ to try the other flavors. and I’m glad I did! They have green tea, taro, vanilla, strawberry, white chocolate, peach, and others that I don’t really remember! haha. I got the white chocolate, strawberry and green tea and boy were they delicious. They also have lots of toppings to choose from including popping bubbles and fresh fruits.
There’s also a restaurant in the back that I didn’t bother trying because I went here for the froyo right after I ate some dim sum. I’ll be sure to try their buns next time; they looks pretty legit!

It was really hot outside so we stopped in to grab some froyo. I tried the mango topped with strawberries and banana slices (I was in a fruity mood), and really really liked the smooth, creamy yet simultaneously refreshing taste. It was very good. Just try it. In a way, it kinda reminded me of a well-​mixed mango gelatin but creamier. I’m still a Pinkberry and Berryline devotee but this is a very solid and tasty alternative that is much closer to home. I would put it on the same grade as Red Mango… but with fewer topping varieties.
They also have a wide range of vegan dishes from sushi to burgers, some of which sounded pretty interesting, like the vegan dragon roll. I tried a piece of the vegan spicy tuna roll and it was certainly interesting although it didn’t really taste like a spicy tuna roll/​It may be a good option for vegans, though. Taste-​wise, I still prefer the real deal but your mileage may vary and I do like that they are really trying to cater to the vegan lifestyle, and thus promoting healthier dining options.
It’s a newly opened store so I expect that they will be fine-​tuning things but so far it’s off to a good start.
