" If you appreciate dim sum, you'll love Ocean City! The variety is impressive, and most dishes maintain authentic flavors. I returned recently and noticed a slight decline in the freshness of a few items, which was a bummer. Nevertheless, the staff was quick and helpful, and I'll likely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went here for the first time to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was a great choice! The atmosphere is open and warm, making it perfect for a group celebration. Most dishes were a hit, although I found the flavors somewhat muted in some dumplings. Service was friendly, though, and helped make the evening enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ocean City is a local favorite, and I finally understand why. The dim sum selections are wide-ranging and delicious. The peking duck was among the best I’ve had in the city! The ambiance is lively, but be prepared for busy weekends—reservations might help. It would be great if they improved a bit on cleanliness. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have loved this restaurant since I first discovered it! The peking duck is to die for and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the area. I’ve been several times, and the consistency is impressive. The atmosphere is always lively, making it a great place for gatherings. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Chinese cuisine in the heart of Philadelphia. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Ocean City just last week, and I must say, the experience was fantastic! Although it was busy, we were seated quickly, and our server was attentive. The shrimp rolls and the turnip cake stole the show—so delicious! Really enjoyed the traditional dim sum experience here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with my family last weekend. The dining area was spacious, and we were seated promptly. However, some of the food items did not meet my expectations for flavor. Service was mostly friendly, but we had to flag down staff a few times for additional requests. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dim sum place! Everything from the shrimp dumplings to the pork buns was fresh and fulfilling. The staff was accommodating, and they provided swift service. I highly recommend bringing a group so you can try multiple dishes together. Can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)
