Dim Sum House By Jane G's - Rittenhouse

We were treated to takeout dinner from Jane G's. Our order was ready on time and included a free container of white rice. We sampled 2 of their dim sum appetizers, shrimp dumplings (har gow) and bbq pork buns (char sio bao). Both appetizers were delicious and the portion was a good size for the price. Their scallion pancakes were light, cripy and flavorful. Our group picked Jane G's because they offer a good selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes. The tofu with sauce was excellent. We would also recommend their lo mein, which can be ordered with a variety of meat or seafood mixed in. We got the shrimp lo mein. The classic beef and broccoli dish was also well done. Since the portions are generous, we had enough leftovers for another dinner.

This resturant single handedly made me love coming to Philly. I'm already in love with Asian cuisine but this resturant is by far one of the best Asian restaurants I've been too! I went and I got a lot of bit of everything. The sesame seed chicken was amazing, crunch with sweet tasty sauce WOW. The crab fried rice was another one of my favorites dishes! Never had it before and now I got to other places asking for crab fried rice. The dumplings, CHIEF KISS! Please if you're in Philly, go to this restaurant! I'll be back in Philly next month and best believe to catch me there.

The food was good. However, there were several issues with the overall experience. When I placed my order over the phone, I was charged slightly more than what the total would have been online, even after the usual online fees and tax. That doesn’t make sense. They also don’t accept tap-to-pay, which is unacceptable in 2025. No utensils or napkins were included in the bag, and I had to ask for chopsticks. That should’ve been automatic for takeout. Lastly, there were a few feathers still on the chicken wings, which means they weren’t cleaned properly.

Slightly above average Chinese food. It’s great for groups and sharing everything family style. My favorites were the Dan Dan noodles (super soft noodles and yummy sauce) and stewed beef and turnip. I did not like the spicy tofu fish as the fish was too fishy, and did not like the texture of the string beans, which felt like it was not cooked thoroughly, altho the taste was pretty good with the pickled vegetables on top. Other dishes were good as well, including the soup dumplings and dry pot chicken. We ordered a tequila shot but it tasted like it was diluted with 50% water. It also took a very long time for the waiters to even get us a pencil for marking the menu. But after we ordered the food came out quite quickly.

We came last night with 4 small children and had a great meal. The service was great, the food came quickly, and everything was delicious. The kids devoured the green beans, the egg tarts. I also loved the Dan Dan noodles and the pumpkin pancakes.
