Reviews for David's Mai Lai Wah in Philadelphia, PA
This place is very convenient for those late nighters. open til 3am. I?ve been here about 2-3 times now and food was great!!... However this last go around was very horrible! I ordered my usual shrimp fried rice, and salt and pepper shrim that I?ve alwaysgotten. Tonight I decided to try the salt and pepper chicken as well. The rice had bits of egg shell in it, it tasted like ashtray just horrible. My shrimp were hard most likely bc I didn?t get them as fresh but hey if you don?t place an order before 3amthey won?t service you.the chicken was ok, maybe would?ve been better if fresh! Like I said place is great, if you?ve had someliquor in ya system very convenient. And it?s a pretty penny. Read more
If I could give zero stars I would. I stopped by to try this restaurant after two friends told me about it. I open my Szechuan... beef just to see a roach on top. Yes? a roach!!! I have pictures to prove it. I called to report the issue and the lady on thephone wanted me to bring the food in to get my money back. She didn?t argue with me so they must know they have a bug issue.They refunded my money and acted as if they did me a favor for giving my money back. Safe to say I will never be back here andhighly recommend that you don?t either (unless you want to get sick)! Read more
The dumplings are awesome, make sure you get the ginger sauce!! the salt and pepper wings are also very good!! they are only... take out now since the pandemic. i never had a problem with customer service here. Read more
If you want cocktails and American Chinese food late, David?s is an okay choice. There are so many places within walking... distance that are spectacular, though, it?s hard to justify eating here. They?ve been here forever. They must be doing somethingright, but I?m not sure what. I?d rather go across the street. Read more
Literally only worth 3 stars. Quick service. Good on refill. Place is dirty. I ordered two things: chicken lo mein and soft... shell crab, but the crab was really old and the oil and batter they used was really honestly disappointing and I could've doneit at home. Not the normal soft shell crab u get. Read more
HORRIBLE! Overpriced and less than mediocre food! I wish that I paid with a credit card so that I could dispute the charge. DO... NOT EAT HERE! The food was flavorless! Usually White rice from Asian restaurants has flavor to it. This rice was boiled inunseasoned water. Very Bland! The Egg Foo Yung was bland, had a loose consistency and the packaging was horrible! Who would putEgg Foo Yung in a soup container?!? They clearly have no real cooks or professional restaurant management here! And last but notleast; the customer service was horrible! No hello, goodbye, thank you, eye contact, or anything! They ask you for the last fourdigits of your phone number, tell you the price and hand you your food! They should be out of business! DO NOT EAT HERE! Read more
I got to my hotel at midnight and asked the receptionist if there's any restaurant open at this hour and she recommended this... place. I got there and this place was busy. I ordered salt and pepper soft shell crab and beef chow fun. Boy...oh boy.. They'rereally good. Highly recommend for nighttime meal. Read more
After coming here for almost 6 years I'm finally done. Do not give these people cash money because they don't gave you correct... change back ???? this is the second time now. My order was $23.50. I gave them $30 A $20 bill and a $10 bill. Kin gave me back a$1.50 back, instead of $6.50. I said sir this is wrong. You owe me $6.50, not $1.50. He then said NO!!!! You gave me $25.00. Webegin to argue. And still nothing resolved. I even showed him the PNC withdraw slip of $30 I took out to pay for my food,.. ifI could have only been able to reach Through the glass window to get my money back. I would. But I took my order and went homeand said I would just do a review. This place has been different since the pandemic. And the Attitude towards black people isreally unprofessional. There been stories in the passed about being short chang????. But always knew something was wrong whenyou see signs that say please tip the waiter. Smh. Please do not give these people your business or cash money Read more
