Auspicious Chinese Restaurant

I am surprised by the low rating. The food is so good. They have a lot of food choices ranging from Japanese, Thai to Chinese. I ordered sushi. I love it. It was so fresh! I also love their Crab Rangoon. The sauce that came with it was so delicious! I will definitely be coming back! more

Went there a while back when it first opened and enjoyed the different take on Chinese food. Went again this evening and found it deplorable. Appetizer: Crab Rangoon - may as well eat fried paper towels. Soup: Corn - absolutely tasteless. Although it was served hot - a restaurant rarity Main: Sesame Chicken - nothing different than you would get at a take out place that dumps it from a pre-made can. Chicken with peaches: - this was the kind of dish that made the former ""Auspicious"" different. But the chicken was processed and the peaces were tasteless mush out of a can. Beef Stir Fry - their specialty - tired and boring - straight from a prepared restaurant supplier. And for this monotony I paid $70. = We could have gone to a China Palace buffet for $10 each for more and saved almost half. Stay away - Any one of the smaller Chinese local restaurants is a far better value - even the take away on Rittenhouse place. Side note - the service was a bit dull. more

The food was bland and tasteless. The service was fine for takeout, but the food was below average. I would not go there again (especially with all of the alternatives in the area) Pros: fast Cons: tastes like cardboard more

Beautiful atmosphere. Very reasonable prices (especially lunch specials). Excellent Service and interesting takes on mostly classic Cantonese / Szechuan fare. Hip, but unpretentious, Auspicious renders fresh tasty versions of classic Chinese (with some Malaysian / Thai dishes.) Food was served quick and hot, attractively presented, and in portions that left us full for hours. Pros: Better than the average mom-and-pop Cons: Not quite Suzanna Foo more
