Asian Restaurants

My favorite Asian restaurants in Philly
This is a global hot pot chain. If you've never had hot pot before, you're missing out. You are served a flaming pot of savory and spicy flavored broth along with raw meats, vegetables, and starches. You cook all the raw food in the hot pot and eat immediately. Great for a cold or rainy day. Beware, wait times are very long during busy times.
Happy Lamb Hot Pot, Philadelphia 快乐小羊

I go here for the rice combos. Under $10 and filling, with variety of specialty meats. I sometimes get duck or chicken take-out as well.

Shanghai Soup dumplings (上海小龙包) - say no more. These aren't quite as good as Joe's Shanghai in NYC Chinatown, but the next best thing.
