Best Chinatown Spots to Grab Food Before (or After) Your Hideout Event

One of the perks of being in the heart of Chinatown is that you’re surrounded by amazing food — perfect for any party night at The Hideout. Whether you’re grabbing takeout for your guests or heading out after the event, here are a few local favorites:

• Tom’s Dim Sum: Classic dumplings and small plates — easy to share, always delicious.

• Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House: Hand-pulled noodles made fresh every day. Great for a quick, cozy meal.

• Banana Leaf: Indonesian BYOB with delicious curries and appetizers.

• Lau Kee Restaurant: The best roasted chicken, duck, and pork that's quick to-go.

• Kung Fu Tea: Because a little boba is the perfect nightcap.

Pro tip: order ahead and pick up your food before guests arrive — the kitchenette at The Hideout has plenty of counter space for serving. Supporting nearby restaurants not only makes your event easier, it keeps Philly’s food scene thriving.
