Nom Wah Philadelphia
218 N 13th St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“This Chinatown gem brings authentic dim sum to Philadelphia with remarkably reasonable prices and generous portions that keep locals and visitors coming back. The relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere pairs perfectly with their traditional tea service and standout dishes like Phoenix Buns and spicy wontons, while the staff genuinely seems invested in guiding you through the menu like they're welcoming you to their own table. It's the kind of place where you can linger over tea, share small plates with friends, and feel like you've discovered something real rather than touristy.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Got the spicy wontons, curry beef dumplings, bao, shrimp shumai, pork soup dumplings, and shrimp bean curd tofu rolls. The dipping sauce that comes on the side is super delicious.

Such a great experience. The waitress (owner? manager?) was great from the time I was seated. She provided recommendations for each area, from the tea, to the dimsum, to the main dish. I have only the best to say about each dish. The sweet soy on the shrimp rice roll, the…
