They special made a vegetarian curry for me at 8pm on a Monday night after a long baseball game. It was delicious and I’m eternally grateful. Will certainly be returning.

Not good. I had spicy Szechuan wontons. Not sure what the sauce was, but it should be a spicy peanut sauce. This was not that. I also had shrimp with walnuts, which were deep-fried and served on a bed of raw lettuce. Just horrible. This is the second time I've tried this restaurant, after suffering through a lunch. Never again.

Best Chinese food I have had in VT, highly recommend! If you order on a busy night expect it to take up to an hour but it is well worth the wait.

Our family loves rice!!! We have been ordering from here ever sence they opend it atleast once every two weeks and our food has always been hot, tasted great, and never had any problems what so ever. They easily get 5 star and then some.

Other than the wait time of over an hour, everything was outstanding. Food was freshly prepared, hot and exceptional. Wait time is indicative of great food and service. So busy during coronavirus. I'm in Essex Junction and nothing nearby comes close to the quality of the Chinese food. I'd rather drive 2 hrs round trip than eat the pedestrian fare nearby.

The terracki sticks here are amazing, they will take you to a magical place. The meat falls apart, off the stick, and has a sweet side. Used to order just one side of sticks, now we order 4 everytime. The beef and broccoli is perfect, and everything here is cooked with a little more love, then anywhere else we have ordered. I used to think all chinese take outs were about the same, definitely not true with this place.

This Chinese food joint actually has fresh Chinese food! It was a pleasure to get hot, moist Chinese food for once. The take-out procedure was pretty clearly explained, and the staff we very nice.

It was fine but not great, tasty but not fantastic. Just your average crappy Chinese food, which is sometimes exactly what you need! I got vegetable lo mein and did enjoy it well enough.

Delicious. Their home style bean curd is fantastic. Spicy wontons are great too. Scallion pancakes not my favorite style but even they were great. -- UPDATE !! -- I've been eating here regularly since, and if I could increase my ranking to six stars, I would. Delicious. I love the Ma Po Tofu (I get that now instead of the home style bean curd; the tofu is soft/fresh and not deep fried, and i like the vegetables and sauce better). I tried their "Roti Canai" and couldn't help but notice that it seems to be the exact same thing as the scallion pancakes, just with different dipping sauce. But I'm not

This was very good Chinese food to satisfy that classic takeout fix. The shrimp lomein and hunan beef both were on par with the better ones I've enjoyed and the price is right. Will certainly enjoy again!

This was surprisingly good. Some dishes were okay (scallion pancake and sesame tofu). Others were quite good (veggie lo mein). One was stupendous:
Vegetable tofu soup (for two).

Meh.
Fried rices; decent. Tso chicken; decent.
Crab rangoon; odd aftertaste.
Lo mein; a joke. More soup-like than anything else.
Cheap hangover meal, sure..but nothing special.

Good didn't even remotely taste like what is should have. Noodles so over cooled they were most and couldn't be eaten with a fork or chop sticks. The amount of pepper was rediculous. This is not a place to get tasty food. It is a rip off that doesn't give you satisfaction or the want for a full tummy. Don't eat here.

Nice place. Attentive staff. Great portions. Nice local business. If looking for Asian cuisines this place imo is pretty good.

Yum! They switched management this year (2017) and are totally different now. Very delicious food, vegetable noodles (vegetable mei fun) is my favourite go-to. Don't be fooled by the humble appearance - clean, tidy environment inside, comfortable and relaxing. I return to this place a lot because of the price, quality and attention to customers. Their dishes are so generous with ingredients, more so than any other restaurant (Asian or not) in town.

Very good portions and fairly fresh for low-end Chinese. The family who runs it are very kind and are excellent servers. Really enjoyed the soup, the General Tso's chicken had a bit too much crust, but tasted good. A great low-cost lunch option.

Very nice and clean. Our entertainment was provided by the owners five year old son who greeted those he knew at the door with a cheerful "hi friend!" Will definitely return if I pass through the area again.

We were in Middlebury for business and after we found out that our first choice for lunch was only open for dinner we decided on this place. It was friendly and the young 4 year old son of the owner was very attentive and showed us all his cars and delighted us throughout the meal. he really made us laugh. The food was good and well prepared but was just ordinary. Nothing was special. But also nothing to complain about either. It seemed to be doing a good take out business as well as eat in. The process are reasonable and the portions are good. I wish them well.

This is by far the best chinese cuisine around. The food is flavorful. The establishment is kept very clean. Always fast, friendly service. Pricing isn't too bad either. High quality meats and veggies too.

My friends and I crave Asian food, so this is a great change of scenery from the dining halls at Middlebury College (go Panthers!). The restaurant workers are all Mandarin speakers who probably feel out of place in homogeneously white Vermont, but they make a living, and I'm glad they're there adding just a bit more diversity to the state.
There are tables so you can dine-in, though from what I've seen, people typically order to-go and probably go eat at home with their families. (Must be nice.)
There was one day when table service was particularly bad. We had already ordered our

Love this place. HUGE portions and I normally will eat half for dinner and half for lunch the next day. Sweet and sour chicken is great as well as basil chicken and basil tofu. For the vegetarians out there try the general tso tofu. Huge pieces of crispy tofu cooked perfectly and a great sauce over rice. My vegetarian boyfriend loves it and raves that it's the best Chinese in Vermont (for that meal).

So glad I finally got to try this place. Rice has restored my faith in local Chinese cuisine. My immediate reaction was how clean this place is. Next thing was a welcoming and friendly woman who took my order. She offered hot tea while I waited for my take out order which was perfect for this blustery first day of October.

The food was not disappointing. These days, I expect frozen products at places like this. This is not one of those places. Eggrolls, rangoons and scallion pancake appeared house made and all were fresh tasting and made with perfect blends of the usual ingredients. Seasoned
