I ordered take out 3 times before writing this review but Ive been disappointed each time. Im at a lost to why they have such a high review. Their food is subpar at best. Its just the same crappy Americanized stale deep-fried chinese food. Their crab Rangoon is thick and tasteless, their bbq spare ribs were hard and dry, the pork fried rice each time was stiff and stale like they are recycling it. The house special lo mein was burnt tasting and the noodles chewy. The wings werent so bad but in this last order, one was decent but the second was weird tasting and yellow inside. Really? The meal of just a pint of house special lo mein, and combination plate of spare ribs and 2 wings with a bed of pork fried rice came out to $19.41. High price for garbage. We ended up throwing the food away because we couldnt stomach anymore. If youre a noodle lover like me then go to Mecha in Fairfield or Gobi Mongolian Grill in Southington. If you want better than subpar chinese food, then go to LC Chens in Fairfield. Their rib roast, wings and Rangoon are the best. I employ you, dont pay for garbage.

Ive never experienced 5 star dining before, and this place is definitely that! From the moment you enter the door, the service is outstanding! The napkins are kindly placed on your lap, youre served tea and crispy noodles as soon as you take a seat. Im pregnant and I feel like they treat expecting mothers with the most generosity and respect. The food is fresh, and even the iced water tastes good. Plus, your glass will not be empty for very long before someone comes around to refill it. If you want to get the rest of your food wrapped up to go, they gladly do that theirselves asking specifically how you want it contained. Before you leave, you are handed warm towels to clean your hands, and I received a plate of fruit too. I kept asking my bf if anyone else has fruit, but he said he thinks I was given fruit because Im pregnant. This place is beyond amazing... I live literally right next to them. The area makes you question them, but you wont be disappointed!... check em out!

Terrible restaurant...Thats what I would say in a nut shell. After reading all the great reviews about this place, I went to this restaurant along with my family. we were greeted well and gave a nice seat. There ends all the good gestures. Next came a guy, who was so rude in evening responding to the special asks on drinks. He was just throwing plates, cutlery and glasses on the table. I would say, he was so rude. Then came the server to take orders. He was taking order as if they dont want to serve anything for us. I had to go to a point where I smiled and said that we got in to a wrong place....Anyways, may be its just the way they approach Indians..I am not a racist, but I really felt so. Very bad experience....

Had a great time here with my family. The chinese food they serve can be described as a bit more Americanized but if youre not looking the "authentic", superfluously spicy food then this is the place for you. For the appetizer, look no further than the Pu-pu platter, great for sharing with a couple of people. The warm towels they bring after the appetizers and the meals just top off the amazing service by the staff. Will definitely visit again.

This is a classy Chinese Restaurant. Excellent atmosphere, attention to detail in every aspect of the dining room and nice artwork on the walls. I took my seven year old daughter there for dinner and it made her feel really special. She especially enjoyed the fish tank and fancy dishes. The food was great and reasonably priced. The service was first class. If you like Chinese Food I highly recommend this place.

In my opinion this is the crown jewel of New Britain; and well hidden at that. From the outside you wouldnt give it a 2nd look. Walk through the doors and youre greeted by waiters dressed in black and white and youre seated at white linen covered tables. Service is 2nd to none and without a doubt, is the finest Chinese cuisine in the Hartford area. The only Chinese restaurant we go to now!

Not only was the food delicious and tasted much fresher than your average Chinese take-out place, but the service was INCREDIBLE! My water glass was never less than half full, the servers were wonderful and polite. They even came over with warm cloths for us to wipe our hands with. Great atmosphere inside the restaurant as well.

I recently started ordering from here, used to order from Imperial Wok but there food was starting not to be that great. I definitely did not regret the change! The food here is always fresh, and its just delicious! worth every penny! I love the fried rice, everything!!! The people who work here are the nicest!

Tuxedo wearing waiters and linen clad tables and the best Chinese food most of you will ever have....with an increase in price of about $1.00 / similar dish from a strip mall takeout factory. My Chinese-American friend from San Francisco raved, she had definitely tasted some fine Asian cuisine.

Dont go by the look of the place from outside (looks like a rusty place with big parking lot). I was surprised by the nice ambience and amazing food. I have been here for lunch usually on many occasions. Has a nice lunch menu. Apart from that it has a full bar and also great food selection.

Im not a fan of Chinese food but this place is an exception. Its a higher class Chinese restaurant with great options and service. Great place to have a business lunch or catch up with old friends. They also have a private room you can reserve for groups.

Really nice place. Has some of the better Chinese food Ive had. Ive only ever ordered takeout from them so I dont know how the servers are, but the takeout is prepared quickly (15 minutes from order time for me the last few times but never over 20).

Very great experience with this restaurant, everyone were so attentive. The restaurant is very clean and nice, and I must say I love the door. The food was ok but the service was great, definately recommended to friends and family.

This is not your average grab and go Chinese food. The ingredients are quality and the meals most enjoyable. The taste is, well, great. And they pack the take out just fine. Dont know what that guy is talking about.

Every time I go, I always get greeted with friendly service. The servers dress nicely and the atmosphere is great. The food is very delicious. If you go on a Sunday, I would recommend the Sunday Brunch special.

Lovely place, great ambiance. The food was delicious, specially the lo mein with vegetables and the boneless ribs, wow so tasty. The meat was so tender and juicy. Will be coming back with the family.
