So I hadn’t eaten all day at the Philly Wizard World Comic Book Convention, but I had only suffered from 4pm to 9pm. For some reason, that’s what Wizard decided the hours would be on a Thursday. I was positively starving when I got out and I didn’t want to walk all the way to Chinatown. Technically, I was in it, but the majority of the restaurants were two blocks away. After a quick search on my phone, Nom Wah and their 4.5 stars on Google Reviews appeared. I decided to go.
It was 9:10 and the place closed at 10, but I was seated. The hostess/waitress was exceedingly pleasant as I looked a wreck from walking in the rain. I order General Tso’s Shrimp, Shrimp Shu Mai, sticky rice with Chinese sausage and a Pork Bun. Let me tell you, all were excellent. Everything from the presentation to the taste. My shrimp were huge, cooked still in the shell. I was in a fog until I gobbled it all down and gobble I did. Sometimes Chinese places leave you feeling thirsty or your stomach’s upset because the food is of bad quality— Not Nom Wah. I felt great. Would totally go again and I just might.
I give Nom Wah 9 out of 10 keggers only because my table was a little sticky. Other than that, you gotta try this place, bros!
