Authentic chinese! Highly recommend their lamb dishes. Just wish the food portion sizes were a bit larger.

Awesome Swag

not great... ordered soup dumplings, beef chow fun, and sesame chicken. soup dumplings were not bad, and the service was friendly. ordered online and it was quick and easy. was expecting wide noodles in the chow fun but they were thin, pale, and pretty flavorless with few-add ons and not a lot of flavor. chicken was very hard and not crispy. the rice tasted slightly like cardboard. really wanted to like this place, and it could have been because of the dishes i got but probably won't be coming back.

I used to like getting some decent Chinese food here but the quality/flavor has recently gotten worse and worse. For starters, it took an hour for the food to get delivered. Secondly, some of their meat dishes (I got a Salt and Pepper Ribs today) can be pretty pricey but not exactly worth it and not enough food. Also, it was suppose to come with white rice, which they did not include...at that point, after waiting for so long, I was too frustrated to call and ask about it. The egg drop soup tasted really off and had a very strong egg smell -- almost rotten...not edible. I swear, every time I order, I'm always left wondering if it will be the same as the last time I had it -- I would order the same dish and each time, the flavor would be different. They must have different chefs or something. Overall, pretty disappointed as this was my go-to place for a while but now that has changed.

AMAZING SMALL SHOP AND VERY AUTHENTIC !! We have eaten takeout from here over 40 times, food is very consistent and very flavorful. We have been customers since week one of the opening. Spicy chili beef is my favorite and very good. Great portions!!!

You'll stand there forever while they tell you 10 more minutes 10 more minutes 10 more minutes...

Authentic Chinese take out restaurant, right on time with Covid. I love it! Their prices are very reasonable and wide varieties menu.

Delicious authentic Chinese food, great service and delivery. Highly recommend the dumplings and eggplant with garlic sauce (鱼香茄子). Some dishes are a tad sweet, but great food overall.

This place is a pretty decent and affordably priced place for some more traditional Chinese dishes. They also have some pretty good lunch special prices. We got 2 lunch specials that both came with fried rice and egg rolls -lion head meatball (which is pretty much a large pork meat ball and a pretty traditional Cantonese dish) -hot and sour potato shreds Fried rice is pretty much what you expect from a Chinese restaurant(nice and oily). I don't prefer it personally but it taste like how it's usually made. The egg rolls are pretty standard as well. The lionhead meatball is pretty decent and would be something I'd order again if I'm feeling too lazy to make it myself. The hot and sour potato shreds are a classic dish that I loved getting back home in LA. it's pretty good nice and crunchy with some sour and spice. We also got an order of Chong Qing spicy chicken This is always a pretty solid order at any Chinese place typically Szechuan place. It's fried chicken that is mixed with spicy numbing flavor. So it's very fun to eat! We did pop it back into the air fryer to crisp up everything. You can order take out and delivery online through their websites. They do not have pictures attached to the order so it can be confusing for those who never ate some of the dishes. Sometimes when they translate things to English it can be difficult to connect the dots to what it's called in Chinese.

I truly don't enjoy leaving negative review but I hope that with leaving this review of constructive criticism that some positive changes are made. Let me start by saying that the staff was absolutely pleasant and very helpful... I ended up ordering General Taos chicken which is something I order from almost every single Chinese restaurant, I was on my way home and figured I'd give this place a try, they were very quick and the place was very clean. Upon arriving home and trying my food I was repulsed by the chicken, it was squishy and tasted like chicken that was soaked in shrimp juices and sweet and sour sauce...I will say their rice is good and I did enjoy that but that was the extent of the enjoyment I got from that meal. I hate wasting food and wasting money on food I would love to try this place again because I love supporting small businesses and feel that this place truly has some potential but I cannot say how soon I will be returning to try again.

Good enough food to compete in New York City. Friendly staff, well priced, try the noodle soups. Best Budget Chinese in greater new haven.

Some really unique, authentic dishes here. Basically take-out only (which works given current environment) but don't let the setting fool you - the menu is one of the most interesting I've seen in a Chinese restaurant outside of a major hub like NYC, and even then, has some very unique offerings. Execution is also great - really great addition to the NH food scene

Great authentic Chinese food! Chinese burger and beef noodles are highly recommended.

Skip the spiral potato. Not very good at all... Soup dumplings not good either. Meat inside is tough and dumpling skin is very thick like perogies. However the noodle soups are good. Broth has a deep flavor and packs a punch
