Mustard Greens

Picture it was year 2022 ‼ Everything that could go wrong like a cheesy rom-com movie did. ( womp womp ) Cue the music 🎬🎬. After booking an air b&b and waiting for a pass code to gain entry to our staycation Getaway spot ( kinda what we get for being spontaneous on a holiday night 😦😟☹️😅 ) , my phone of course dies. My husband and I 🏙🏛 Christmas eve❄ 🎄freezing stumbled upon this Lovely ,staff Friendly cozy warm sleek restaurant with the aroma of garlicky noodles, blended spices ,crispy duck in the air.🍚🍜🫕🫖🧄🥢 Wanting to grab a bite until the place was ready needing to get out of the cold , possibly my phone charged , while playing phone tag with the bookings short handed management. looking over a simple but nicely designed menu not overwhelming with thousands of options but choices of veggies , seafood , soups the list was not lacking anything. honestly who eats a menu anyways. 😅 We were at least able to have hot tea 🫖 that was perfectly on time for the low bitter temperatures we had both endured. Enjoying a bowl of tasty Cantonese wonton soup , hubby went healthy started with stuffed cabbage for appetizer , the meal was making a complicated night turn for the better. ( or so I thought ) I had a very tasty 🍸dirty martini🍸 ▶Garlic noodles◀ that had invited us in with the yummy smell 🤤🤤 deciding to pair it with shrimp w/shiitake mushrooms , snuck a couple pieces of hubby's duck crispy & very flavorful skin totally worth every tender juicy bite. 😉😋 However when we had attempted to pay not knowing that my husbands bank account had been frozen due to the bank thinking he was dealing with a fraudulent purchase ,( sounds suspect) bank is closed , and we are now desperately trying to pay for our meal embarrassed 😫😳😩😱 with neither one of us having much cash on us 💸💸 but coming up with a temporary solution. This awesome spot has taken a chance on us to be back in their opening hours to pay since we are staying nearby I will be running over there to pay the rest of the remaining balance and thanking them for understanding and being patient with us while we had a chance to figure everything out. I know this review is long but that was a true sign of what Philadelphian's are made outta 🫂▫ 🤗 ▫❤▫ Brotherly Love ▫❤▫🤗▫ 🫂 👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻 Thank you 👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻 To the restaurant for amazing food, service , to take a good faith chance on strangers. We both Definitely want to go back after everything is paid up to try more dishes.

My family has been going here for about 25 years. We all love the food. It’s so fresh and anything you pick is delicious. They won’t sell it if something is not fresh it will be off the menu for that night. I have never had a bad experience here, in fact it always makes my day significantly better just knowing I will be eating there. If I lived closer I would eat there at least once a week. I could eat it probably 3 times a week. You get it.

I was looking for a place to stop for food while my girlfriend and I were walking along South Street, and this place was absolutely perfect. Just off South Street so not too busy, but the inside atmosphere and customer service was just perfect! Sat down almost immediately after calling in just fifteen minutes beforehand, and the waiter was very courteous offering the specials and taking our order. The wonton soup was the best I've had in a while, and I definitely recommend the firecracker pork. Everything tasted freshly made and would recommend for anyone looking for quality food!
