Hong Kong II

Normally I try to find at least one positive but this has to be the most disgusting Chinese take out I’ve ever been in.
As we walk in the woman says the credit card machine has been down for days so cash only… no problem, I can put my order in and hit the ATM and be right back. She badgers me as to how long I will be… well as long as it takes me to get cash.
That I can deal with… what I couldn’t deal with was all the tiny flies swarming the place. Granted today was a heavy rainfall after a very dry summer but it totally grossed me out. They were all over tables and U.S. As we were there.
There is no half way decent Chinese take out anywhere on the shoreline.

After a horrendous waste of money at a local pizza place (see other reviews) we ended up here.
The general Tso chicken was perfection. Seriously on par with little China in nyc. The broccoli with it was steamed perfectly as well, not soggy nor raw as happens in many places. The rice was also cooked perfectly, I know you may think it’s just rice, but if you have had badly cooked rice you’ll understand why I mention it.
We shared the chicken on a stick order of 4 for under $ 5 which is the best value I’ve seen anywhere. The portion per stick was generous and it was grilled to the perfect crunch yet tender texture. Seasoned well, but not over seasoned (I’ve had elsewhere where it was sickening over seasoned, or not at all)
The only reason I deleted a star was the boneless spare ribs. I thought they were not on the same level as the rest. The seasoning was a little sour for my taste. My companion ate them happily though. I would gladly return here and highly recommend it.
I am a tough critic for 5 I admit. The few 5 ratings I have given truly were deserving.

Surprisingly good tasting food, well balanced flavors, great food textures. Food is fresh and service is friendly, and the price is good. Definitely recommend!

So we get takeout every couple weeks from here and always loved it! Today, no good at all. Must have changed suppliers, everything was different. Hope they switch back soon or we will be in search of another Chinese place…

I would call this a hole on the wall, that is surprisingly good! First let’s clarify that this is a take out place that has zero atmosphere if you dare to dine in… That said, we have enjoyed every meal we have had from them. I always get the shrimp fried rice, and they give me plenty of shrimp. It’s traditional fast food Chinese, but you can count on it being good.

I’ve eaten there my whole life living in Old Lyme. Never has disappointed and is always their usual great quality. Run by a very nice family and I am always happy to give them my business

I think this is the best Chinese take out around. It’s been consistent for the 12 years I’ve been going there and is still run by the same family. Very friendly people.
General Tso’s is the best and I like their fried rice, light and fluffy. I also really like their chili shrimp. You should try it.
If I feel like roughing it we sometimes eat there and they bring the food out to you.
