Philly Dining Tid"bite"- Charles Plaza

Charles Plaza on Urbanspoon

Friday night had dinner in Chinatown with friends who chose Charles Plaza as our Asian culinary destination. Not much in terms of decor, but the servers and owner - very attentive. The restaurant specializes in vegetarian Chinese cuisine and the dishes are prepared without MSG or heavy sauces.

For instance the sesame noodles have just a light coating. Of course, personally, I like a heavy, sticky, fattening peanut butter Thai sauce, but it's nice to now and again enjoy something without the guilt.

Steamed Chicken Dumplings: Good density and flavor - 3 Tines.


Fish of the day: Never has Tilapia been so satisfying! Crunchy, meaty and smothered in garlic sauce - 4 Tines!


Chicken in a Basket: So Unique! Love the asparagus inside and the brown gravy good for dipping the pieces of fried noodle basket - 3 Tines

What's your favorite restaurant in Philly's Chinatown?
