" A perfect dim sum spot for gatherings! Our group ordered nearly everything on the menu, and every dish was delectable. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our experience feel welcoming. The only downside was the wait time, as it can get quite busy. If you're looking to explore authentic Chinese flavors, this is the place to go! Don't forget to try the chicken feet; they're a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ocean Harbor was a delightful find in Philly's Chinatown. The dim sum was fresh and bursting with flavor. I particularly loved the fried taro and the pork buns, which were perfectly steamed. The dining experience felt very traditional with the carts coming around. Although it got pretty crowded, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. My only complaint was that the staff could be a bit more attentive during peak hours. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Ocean Harbor, I decided to check it out. I took my family for a Sunday brunch, and we were all excited. The dim sum variety was impressive, but unfortunately, we had a few hiccups. Some dishes were cold, and it took a while for the servers to address our table. Despite that, the authentic taste was undeniable. The egg tarts were the highlight of our meal. We left full but slightly disappointed in service. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Ocean Harbor was good, but there was room for improvement. The dim sum was authentic, but our server seemed to forget about us at times. Despite the bustling atmosphere, I wished for quicker service. Other than that, I enjoyed the flavors and the variety of dim sum. I would recommend it, just be prepared for potential waiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited many dim sum joints, but Ocean Harbor stole my heart. The pork buns were juicy, and the har gow were some of the best I've ever had—definitely recommend! It was slightly overcrowded and noisy, which made it difficult to converse. Service was decent, but the genuine flavors kept me happy. I can't wait to go back during weekdays when it's hopefully less busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ocean Harbor quickly became my favorite dim sum place! The variety was amazing, and the food felt authentic with respect to traditional standards. Every item on the cart was fresh and glossy. Though the tables were a bit cramped, it added to the restaurant's vibrant atmosphere. I noticed the staff were hustling but were very friendly. Definitely returning for another feast. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves Ocean Harbor! Every dim sum item we ordered was delicious and bursting with flavor. The shrimp dumplings were to die for! The only downside was that the servers were a bit overwhelmed by the weekend crowd. It took a while to get our needed items replenished but we didn’t let that ruin our meal. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone craving authentic dim sum! " (*Curated Review*)
