Susanna Foo's is the best, IMO. People Magazine reviewed them as the best Chinese restaurant in America.

It has a very different atmosphere from the normal Chinese restaurants you'll find in a Chinatown -- it's on the classier side. Susanna Foo actually learned French cooking some years ago and introduced some of the French cooking style into her Chinese dishes -- very different and very good.

It's on Walnut Street in center city. I don't remember the address, but I believe it's somewhere around 17th street.

Enjoy!
