The Classic Pork Wonton Soup 云吞汤 n soup was delicious and not overly salted. I have a hard time finding wood ear mushroom dishes, and the Pickled Wood Ear Mushrooms 爽口小木耳 were OUTSTANDING. I can't thumbs up the wood ear mushrooms hard enough.

Everything was very tasty, fresh and the portions were generous. The Homemade Dumplings in Hot Chili Oil 红油水饺 were large with a flavorful filling. Chicken with Broccoli 芥兰鸡 had a surprisingly large amount of chicken, on top of being delicious! We ordered the Dry-Fried Green Beans 干煸四季豆 because we saw they were a favorite, and they did not disappoint. This is a new one of our faves.

I love the food at EMei - their mapo tofu is perfectly spiced, with large chunks of tofu that manages to get imbued with sauce.
But delivery from them is nowhere that experience. Though the tofu tastes about the same, it's a couple dollars more for about 70% the amount. The Salt and Pepper Squid 椒盐鱿鱼 was delivered soggy and soft.
in store, I'd easily give EMei a 4.5
delivery, 2

I ordered House Special Lo Mein 本楼捞面 egg Egg Roll (Pork & Veg) 1pc 春卷（1个） and Noodle W. Minced Pork / Without Pork 炸酱面 . The egg rolls were dry and tasteless. The lo mein noodles were underdone (to my taste) and the presence of ANY protein was effectively camouflaged. The Noodle W. Minced Pork / Without Pork 炸酱面 had, MAYBE 3 tablespoons of pork, and was the only dish I found edible. I'm used to NYC Chinese food, and so far, the Philly version of this cuisine is unacceptable. I will not be ordering again due to poor quality of food and expensive pricing.

The Chongqing Spicy Chicken 重庆辣子鸡 is usually pretty good. This batch was all stale crumbs with no significant amount of meat. The Stir-Fried Spicy Eggplant with Garlic Sauce 鱼香茄子 was greasy and soaked with oil. Fried Rice 各式炒饭（猪/鸡/蔬菜/牛/虾）（D） was fine. I still miss red kings 2. Maybe one day emei can get to that level.
