The Chinese food at China Pavilion is high quality. The service was prompt, and the server explained various dishes. I ordered the lunch special and didn't notice that the size was any different from the dinner specials that the other people in my party ordered. China Pavilion uses white meat chicken for the General Tso's, which is not always the case. Also, the flavor isn't simply one of sugar, but some other aromatic spices which give it an authentic quality. My moo goo gai pan was unusually flavorful. The sauce was thick and the fried rice complemented the dish perfectly. My lunch special started off with the wonton soup which had two nice big dumplings. It was not overly salty and once again, the flavor was subtle and the quality good. We also ordered dumplings as appetizers, and they were especially juicy and large. Everyone enjoyed their meal, the dining room is spacious, clean, and nicely decorated in a Chinese restaurant theme. I can see why this place was voted the best in Connecticut. I had never eaten here before and I'm happy I had the chance to do so. I will definitely be back soon. I feel like this is a good place to bring visitors to the area so they can sample genuine, authentic Chinese food in a spacious, pleasant setting. I should add that the mixed drinks are a great complement to the food. I've never had a Dirty Shirley Temple before, and it was, sweet and fizzy with a cherry flavor; this is and fizzy definitely a drink I would order again.

It is so hard finding a sit-down Chinese restaurant these days, so we ventured out to Orange. It's too bad the meal started off with stale noodles. The rest of the meal was unremarkable. The search continues...

Quality and service have gone down. Prices keep increasing to the point of greed! You need to reduce your prices and get the quality of food you had or you will continue to lose more customers. Stop being greedy with high unjustified prices!

I've been a customer of China Pavilion for years. I do a lot of take out and dine at the restaurant. I ordered $75 dollars of take out last night. They are much more expensive they most of the spot but I am ok paying for quality. Unfortunately that's not what I got last night. The 3 star review is super generous because I've had many good meals here. It really should be a zero because everything was inedible it all tasted off. The general tsos tasted expired and rubbery the dumplings also gross. The biggest offender was the disgusting lo mein. Not cool all of it got thrown away. I get it restaurants are holding on to food that should be thrown out because of the high costs of everything. Not ok to serve garbage to people changing my 3 star to a 1. Shame on them!

I used to eat here often. I haven't been here in a while. I wonder if they changed ownership or management. I'm almost sure they changed cooks, the food was not even edible. The egg roll had what looked like ground beef in it, the crab Rangoon weren't cooked to a crispy outer shell and the stuffing was yellow.....not the cream cheese I was expecting. The beef and broccoli was rubbery, couldn't chew the beef or the broccoli. The only thing that was almost edible was the pork fried rice, although the peas and carrots, I believe, came from a can. It cost me $25 and I could hardly wait to get home to eat it, only to toss it all away. I will not be back! My only question is "What happened"?

Recently came here on Christmas Day so my soon to be mother in law didn't need to cook or clean. The place was jamming as most other places not open Christmas Day. Our server momo was very pleasant! We waited a bit (but understood it was Christmas and packed) but got our crab Rangoon appetizer. It was good and my soon to be FIL loved them. I opted for the crispy chicken Szechuan. It was unlike anything at other establishments. Great level of heat, fried chicken crisp veggies. So tasty! The rest of my dining party loved their meals as well!
So very grateful for this restaurant. Khan was THE MOST HELPFUL person to speak with. I was searching for a place to cater my Thanksgiving with my family. We wanted something non traditional and fun, and China Pavillion just completely made our holiday. The food was great, the amount given in trays was perfect! Khan assisted me with all my questions, all my needs. I am so so happy we chose this restaurant and I will definitely use them again when we have another event with my family. Thank you China Pavillion and their employees for making our day perfect!

So many people recommended but Indian people will not like this place because we used to eat indo Chinese and the taste is totally different than the regular Chinese food. Moreover the staff was not friendly we asked few questions but they were not happy to answer the questions. We asked for vegetable tofu and it was really bad, tofu must be soft but it was soooo chewy. So overall Not a good recommended place if you are a vegetarian.
