With its location and food, Lakeside has been known to be one of the best hidden secrets in chinatown amongst students and faculty members in philly. (Why else do you think it is still around when most other restaurants in chinatown went belly up in the past 5 years?) Like any other restaurants, it all depends on what you order. Lakeside's dim sum is as bad as others in chinatown but when it comes to ""plate rice"" dishes, they are by far the best, so give them a try and welcome to the crowd.
Pros: food, service
Cons: decor
