Luscious Dumplings is a shanghainese in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is listed at 939 Race St, Philadelphia, PA 19107, which places it among the local businesses of Philadelphia that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Philadelphia; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Pennsylvania are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

Hours are published for 2 days a week. Typical hours are 11 AM–11 PM. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Luscious Dumplings at (215) 931-6000; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, lusciousdumplings.com.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.3 out of 5 from 274 reviews, which is a strong result for a shanghainese in Philadelphia and suggests consistent service.

Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Philadelphia peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I was hoping to like this place more than I did because a friend of mine comes here all the time and highly recommended it. I ordered the Thai tea with less sugar and the beef dumplings. My friend got the soup dumplings and the bok choy. The drink with the snack attached to the top is definitely the gimmick here, and I'll admit it's pretty cute. It's convenient to carry around, and the little smiley face toothpicks they give you are a fun touch. The only downside is that the lid pops off pretty easily, so I'd be careful walking around with it. As for the food, it was... fine. Nothing was bad enough that I wouldn't eat it, but nothing really stood out either. The beef dumplings were my biggest disappointment. They were quite greasy, and the filling had that loose texture you get when there's a lot of fat mixed into the meat. As you eat them, the fat renders out, leaving the filling a little mushy instead of juicy. I took some home, and once they cooled down, the grease solidified again, which didn't make them any more appealing. My friend's soup dumplings were also just okay. They weren't very soupy, and the wrappers felt a little dry. The bok choy was fresh, but most of the f

Ordered from the airport hotel and everything was well packaged, tasty and generously portioned. I always use hot and sour soup as a baseline - because if you can’t get that right, then I have to lower my expectations for the rest of the items. The quality, taste and authenticity has definitely exceeded my expectations. Even the cucumber dish was perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend!

Place has easy access and it’s very clean. It looks brand new and the staff was very helpful and the food is delicious. Food is amazing! Plenty of seating! We tried the pan fried pork, soda, dumpling drink on holder.

Very disappointing experience. We ordered a dish of dumplings and some noodles, and the service was unpleasant from the beginning. The waiter spoke to us in a demanding tone and asked us to move a pot of flowers (just bought from the PHS flower show) we had placed on the table to a chair. After we started eating, we discoveredΒ small rocks inside the dumplings, which was both shocking and concerning because it could easily damage the teeth. One of us already felt discomfort after biting into it. When we informed the waiter, he said he could replace the dish and took away the remaining dumplings. A minute later, we became worried that the replacement might have the same issue and asked to cancel the order instead. The waiter refused, saying he could not cancel it. When we asked to speak with a manager, he told us the manager was not there. What made the situation worse was that he immediately brought the bill and asked us to payΒ even though we had not finished our other dishes. Given that the dumplings contained rocks and had already hurt our teeth, we felt it was unreasonable to pay for them. Eventually he removed the dumplings from the bill with hostile, and continued to threa

Overall a great experience and I would go back. Strengths: The pork belly is SO tender, the broth of the noodle soup is superb and the flavor of the beef is incredible. Lotus root salad is crispy and refreshing. The prices!!!!!! We’re so reasonable we ordered a TON of food and paid only 90$ for two apps and four mains. Weaknesses: soup dumplings had little soup and the pan fried dumplings were underfilled. Food came out very fast!
