Lee How Fook has been in the same building for over 30 years, making it a staple in the culturally rich neighborhood. This understated little Cantonese restaurant is "just as good now as it was then". It's hard to make a bad choice from the "American-esque" menu.

https://www.leehowfookphiladelphia.com/#menu From the Inquirer: “Cantonese noodle soups are the specialties at this longtime destination.”
Service is pleasant, and “shockingly” low priced. Members of Huang’s family opened the restaurant in 1983, and Emily Huang purchased it to call her own about 4 years ago just before the Pandemic, which may be why they still do a lot of take-out. However, our group of 8 will hopefully get the round table and I will be here before 11:30am to grab it
