" Wow, EMei has easily become one of my favorite spots in Philly! I can't get enough of their mapo tofu and the spicy lamb dishes. It's just bursting with flavor! The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, perfect for a casual night out or a special occasion. Each dish is beautifully presented and packed with authentic spices that really made my taste buds dance. The staff is courteous and quick to serve. Be prepared to wait during peak times, since this place is quite popular. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for those seeking authentic Chinese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited EMei with my family, and the experience was fantastic. The decor was bright and modern, and the menu had so many authentic Sichuan options to choose from. We ordered a mix of appetizers and mains, including the Dan Dan noodles and kung pao chicken. The flavors were rich and distinctly authentic, which I truly appreciated. It was evident that they use quality ingredients. However, the server seemed a bit overwhelmed during the dinner rush, leading to a slight delay in our orders. Despite that, we still enjoyed every dish that came to our table. I would definitely recommend EMei to anyone looking for genuine Sichuan cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" My favorite Sichuan place now! We started with the pork dumplings and hot and sour soup, delightful! Then, for the mains, we shared crispy chicken and braised pork belly. I really loved how fresh everything tasted, and the sauces were beautifully balanced. Even though it was bustling, we didn't have to wait long for our food. Will return without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Chinese food in Philly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried EMei after hearing a lot about it. The food was good, though not as spicy as I had hoped. I enjoyed their fried rice and the kung pao chicken, both tasted fresh. The service was decent, as the staff were friendly but could be more attentive. I think with the busy environment, they might have been distracted. Still, it's a solid spot for those in need of authentic Sichuan food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at EMei was delightful. I loved the intricate flavors in each dish. The staff was friendly and helpful in navigating the extensive menu. I splurged on multiple dishes and was pleased to receive my meals rather quickly, despite the restaurant being quite busy. The spicy pork belly was tender, and the lamb was incredibly flavorful. I felt a sense of genuine Sichuan charm in each bite. Overall a positive experience, and I plan to return to try more options! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at EMei recently, and what a treat it was! You really can’t go wrong with their menu. I tried the spicy tofu and the shrimp dumplings, and both were exceptional.
