“This place is amazing; really good service and an extensive menu. You could come here every week probably take a year to get through this menu. They have sushi and noodle bar selections we had as well as dumplings that were delicious. It’s a really nice place you could dress up and go for a date but they also do a brisk take-out business. Looking forward to coming back soon.“
“We stopped in here for takeout while on the way home. Very unassuming from the outside. The staff was friendly and the food was ready in about 10 minutes as promised. Not as expensive for combination plates as sone other places have been recently.Overall the food was good. The dumplings were amazing. I would go back just for them. I also liked how the chicken was cut into smaller pieces for the General Tso. It allows for more of the sauce to seep into the chicken. Will definitely be getting food here again.“
“Best Chinese food around CT! They are in an area with people that are people pleasers/difficult to deal with(we go every Thursday, but watching the abuse they deal with in person is WRONG!), but food is PHENOMENAL! I promise you they ate worth the wait and time.“
“My absolute favorite place to get Chinese food, hands down! All of the ingredients are always SO FRESH and flavorful, and the portion sizes are huge! They also have the best crab rangoon Ive ever eaten!!! Whether I'm dining in or getting take out, my meals are always 100% AMAZING!“
“This was My first time ordering from Bethel Chinese Kitchen and it wont be my last..It was delicious....Lomein, orange chicken, egg drop soup, sesame noodles...It was perfect and so was the delivery...Delivered just the time they told me..Definitely on my fave list.... .What a wonderful xmas dinner for two.... Thank You.“
“My husband and I have gotten take out here 5 times and we love it! The food is very good. I have tried multiple different entrees and have enjoyed all of them. My favorite option is the spring rolls. Sometimes we even get free donuts in our take out orders - the staff is so nice! Looking forward to coming again.“
“It's the only Chinese place I'll get take out. Food is great. Prices are reasonable. Very busy at dinner time. I would order in advance and pick up. Decor could use some updating, but friendly owner and fast service make up for it.“
“So traveling home I wanted to eat, something other than Italian. I decided to try this place because it stays open until 10! Ah convenient Didn't know this place was here! It's about 8:30 and there's only two other women in the place. I pick a seat in the corner. It's chilly out so definitely want the wonton soup. Which comes quickly and it's just perfect. The house Cabernet is smooth and just right. Then the chicken with broccoli is just perfect. The sauce is a bit heavy but very tasty. All in all a great experience and I plan on coming back!“
“I’m not from the area, but I was at a work function and they ordered from here. I just got the dumplings and I brought it home. My husband and I thought they were great. The next time I was in the area for work I got 2 combination dinners and dumplings and brought them homefor dinner. In OUR opinion..and we’re both 59 years old…this is probably the best Chinese food we’ve had. Highly recommend!“
“Arrived at 12:45. Workers preparing some veggies on one table. I order a serving of soup pork dumpling and one of soup pork and crab dumpling. They arrived 10-12 mins after ordering, which was excellent timing. Usually the crab pork dumplings tends to lack punch, but these had all the umami flavor, the broth was sumptuous and balanced with the meat. 6/5 stars. The pork dumplings were good but they were eclipsed by the crab ones. Will come back!“
“I’ve only taken out. Have not eaten in so can’t comment on service, etc. raised in nyc, I’m a Chinatown devotee. I’ve eaten Asian cuisine for close to 60 years far and wide. This restaurant shocked me with how good every dish I’ve tried. From crispy fried dumplings, to perfect hot and sour soup to entrees, every dish has been truly excellent. I rarely give 5 stars in any review. This restaurant deserves it.Parking: Large lot, always plenty of spots.“
“Place is not much to look at, but the food here is always quick, fresh and hot! I absolutely LOVE the hot and spicy soup, but the Shrimp in garlic sauce is loaded w veggies and also delicious. I have a panda garden restaurant near my home, but this particular one beats it every time!! Come on and show these hard working folks some love!!“
“I’m a New Yorker and if you know you know!! The picture doesn’t do them any justice, but the food is always fresh, delicious and the sell plantains, which is a huge plus in my book. I haven’t found any good food in this area, until I tried them! And their honey wing? trust me, you won’t be disappointed! ?????“
“This is pretty typical Chinese food. I've been coming here at least 10 years. Usually I pick up Chinese food when my wife doesn't feel like cooking or we got back home late. We've had twice cooked pork, Gen Tso's, beef +broccoli, egg rolls, sweet+sour chicken and all soup. The dumpling fried or steamed are what you find anywhere. The negative reviews need to be examined very closely. Here's my theory: We live in a world with a generation of people who easily get their feelings bruised. When this area had a greater concentration of transplanted NY-ers or descendants of city folk, people were more accustomed to gruff conversation. The young man's english skills in here aren't great. Sometimes his reply could be interpreted as gruff. He yells in Chinese to the kitchen help. Sometimes they yell back. Everything is on display here - you can watch them cook your food - there is no kitchen in back. It's all transparent. People in Bethel are scared of this behavior. They think they should be walking out with participation trophies as customer of the hour or something. If they think you talked tough to them here in Bethel, they will gather their friends and bravely face you down by writing a collaboration of bad reviews on Yelp. Trust me, I sometimes am told I have the lowest threshold shull bit than alost anyone, and this guy who runs the place has never been anything less than polite, providing decent Chinese food at a reasonable price. I am really dismayed at the number of people trying to ruin the livelihood of a hardworking guy over what was probably hurt feelings. I'd recommend these snowflakes toughen up, but have a shred of decency by leaving this man alone. The food here is more than acceptable and claiming you threw it out is just vindictive garbage. Having been to China and Taipei I can tell you this food is on a par with the typical competitors. I am just not the biggest fan of Chinese food otherwise I'd give 5 stars, but 4 stars is nothing to sneeze at. I wish this man well, and wish the Bethel negative people peace and more love, less hate.“
“Great takeout place. We order from here a couple of times a month. The food is very good and the service is efficient and courteous. They are always on tinte.Unlike some Chinese places, Empire Szechuan has flavorful food, where each entree has a distinct taste. We love it.“
