Ocean Harbor

Ocean Harbor is a Chinese restaurant at 1023 Race Street in Philadelphia, with a menu that spans seafood, meat, poultry, vegetables, rice and noodles. The selection combines familiar Chinese restaurant staples with more traditional banquet-style preparations, creating a broad choice of dishes rather than a narrowly focused menu.

Seafood is a central part of the offering. Fish appears in several preparations, including steamed, braised, fried and sweet-and-sour styles, while the menu also includes shrimp, crabmeat, abalone, sea cucumber and other seafood combinations. Soups range from wonton and hot-and-sour options to thicker preparations with seafood, beef, chicken, vegetables or bean curd. These choices give the restaurant a strong fit for diners looking beyond standard American-Chinese favorites.

The menu also covers beef, chicken, duck and squab, with preparations involving ginger and scallions, black bean sauce, curry, lemon, sesame, broccoli and mixed vegetables. Hot pots bring together seafood, bean curd, lamb, beef, chicken or fish in shared-style preparations. Rice and noodle dishes include fried rice, lo mein, chow fun, rice noodles and pan-fried noodles, offering substantial options for a full meal or a table with varied tastes.

Starters include egg rolls, fried seafood rolls, pork and shrimp dumplings, wontons, spare ribs and cold meat with jellyfish. The overall style is classic Chinese dining with a particularly wide seafood selection and a menu that accommodates both individual choices and larger shared dishes. Race Street provides the setting, while the food selection gives Ocean Harbor its identity as a traditional Chinese restaurant with hot pots, seafood preparations, soups, rice and noodles all represented.
