Since 2011, EMei has emerged as one of Philadelphia's premier dining destinations, celebrated for its authentic Chinese cuisine curated by Master Chef Zhao and a team of 6 wok chefs that born and trained in the Sichuan region of China.
Boasting over 50 years of expertise in mastering Sichuan cuisine, Chef Zhao skillfully infuses dishes with bold chili oils, aromatic peppercorns, and expertly seasoned cuts of fish, meat, and produce.
Situated conveniently in Chinatown, EMei diligently procures fresh ingredients daily. With a menu featuring 120 items, including house-made egg rolls and dumplings, we take pride in crafting everything in-house. This commitment not only ensures quality but also enables us to offer a wide selection of gluten-free and vegetarian options.

We had a fantastic dinner celebrating a birthday in one of the private rooms offered by E Mei in the back of the restaurant. They can accommodate up to 12 diners comfortably with some flexibility up to 13-14 if needed. We had 12 adults comfortably seated. For the private room, the restaurant requests a $350 minimum, which was not a problem for us to hit with drinks. The service was fantastic with orders collected without issue. Food was exceptional with several diners new to Szechuan cuisine, and several who were familiar with Szechuan from other restaurants, commenting how much they loved the food and found it fresh and tasty. Spice level is adjustable and we enjoyed the variety of different spice levels. Favorite dishes included Chongqing spicy chicken (like popcorn chicken with lip numbing Szechuan peppercorns), spicy and sizzling sea bass (just be mindful this is a full fish so has bones), chilled sesame noodles (must try!), mapo tofu, dry-fried green beans, scallion pancakes, and many more. Our only feedback was that the air conditioning was either too cold (or too hot after we asked for it changed) so a few individuals had challenges getting comfortable and also the rooms for private dining were a bit bare so did not have the same beautiful interior as the rest of the restaurant.

Thank you for celebrating with us and for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food, service, and private dining experience. It’s wonderful that both newcomers and seasoned Szechuan cuisine lovers appreciated the flavors and spice levels. Our staff is always happy to assist you at any time. We hope to welcome you back for another fantastic meal soon! Warm regards, EMei

Food was delicious and the portions were large. Really happy the server informed us that portions were large enough to share so we didn't over order.

Food was good, but pricier than I would like. I order tea smoked duck (half) which was 30 bucks. I had a reservation at 7 but still had to wait 25 minutes for my table. Also, one of the servers tried to take away my plate while I was still eating. They really want you in and out it seems, at least during busy hours.
EMeiGereageerd op 25 februari 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the food. We apologize for the rushed service—that's not the experience we want for our guests. We'll share your comments with our team to improve. We appreciate your visit and hope to provide an even better experience next time! Warm regards, EMei

Top-tier restaurant in Chinatown definitely American modern flare, but authentic taste. Also did not feel like crap after I ate it or anyone else in my party.

The place is nice and cozy. The food was great but the service not quite. Our server wasn’t very friendly even though they were polite. We were left unattended for a long time waiting to order something and to get the check. The drink I ordered never arrived, which was a bit disappointing. It was still a good experience because the food was great. I would recommend to go if you have no time limit. We spent fairly 2 hours for a dining experience that should take no more than 1.5 hours.
EMeiGereageerd op 22 februari 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re happy to hear you enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We truly apologize for the service issues you experienced, as this is not the standard we aim to provide. I have shared your feedback with the manager, and we will certainly address this with our team to improve the overall experience. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the chance to serve you better next time. Warm regards, EMei
