“We came during a pretty chill time. No wait and service was fast. Food was amazing. I had the braised beef ramen and the char-siu bao. My partner got the vegetable noodle bowl. The noodle bowl could have used more vegetables, it only had bok choy in it, but it was still pretty ok. Overall, I'd come back“

“So this amazing place was recommended by a friend from Madison and it did not disappoint! Authentic Szechuan in a beautiful room with high ceilings and soothing decor and music. One dish was better than the last and you cannot get this quality anywhere locally as far as I've been to. Go for yourselves and enjoy. Somehow we received cheesecake and chocolate ganache cake for dessert complements of the place! Even better!😂“

“I moved from ny and this is the best Chinese food in Hamden. The owners are so accommodating when I make special requests for my picky toddler. I’m so glad my family found them because I love my weekend Chinese food. I highly recommend them“

“Exceptional food. Great service“

“I have eaten here about 6 times in the last month.For a take out restaurant, the food is fresh and good. The quality was consistent in my experience. Definitely one of the better Chinese take outs I have bought from.

Parking: plenty of parking“

“Absolutely delicious fresh cooked food. They are very welcoming when you go there. I recommend the chicken lo mein, dumplings, etc. Honestly the food is delicious 😋.“

“The cleanest Chinese restaurant I've ever been in, the husband and wife who run it are super friendly and the food is so much better than most. They don't overload everything with that syrup most places do and the vegetables actually feel and taste fresh. Love this place!“

“I would highly recommend this restaurant! The food was amazing, the service was exceptional and overall it was a great experience! The food came out quick and was delicious and the restaurant was clean and organized. The staff were very friendly and helpful! I’m definitely going back to try more of their amazing food!“

“This place seems like it is very good but I have had very mixed experiences. It boils down to me feeling as though there is a learning curb every time I've been there. I don't understand the menu and it seems like there are deals but the workers don't tell you what they are. Sometimes I'll go there and the food will be delicious and other times I'm left shocked by what I've ordered“

“Food was wonderful and fresh! Staff were so friendly and kind. We have been looking for a new local place for a while and are so happy we found New Star. My husband isn't a huge fan of Chinese food but even he loved it! We got Rangoons, chicken fingers (amazing!!!), steamed dumplings (delicious), honey chicken combo, kung po combo, chicken wings, steamed broccoli, and egg and spring rolls (for four adults) - serving sizes are enormous and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! We will be back!“

“Great prices, generous portions, and amazing flavor!
I highly recommend the spare ribs here. My child always says that the ribs from this restaurant are the best they’ve ever had, and I completely agree. The fried rice and noodles are also excellent—everything we’ve tried has been consistently delicious.
What really made me happy was the service. The woman who takes orders remembered me, and when I made a mistake with my online order, she called to confirm the details. That personal touch truly meant a lot to me and made the experience even better.
We’ll be returning to Korea soon, and I will truly miss this place. I always recommend it to my friends whenever I can.“

“I was very pleased with the food 🥘 it was tasty, fresh, and the delivery service was fast .. I loved everything about it.. the only thing is that the prices were raised more .. I used to pay 18 dollars for a plain fried rice and chicken wing plate and a small beef broccoli and now I’m paying almost 22 bucks for the same order … I was very bummed out about this .. if they keep raising the prices I will definitely switch back to Golden Wok becouse they also have delicious food and prices are a bit more cheap..!“

“Best Chinese restaurant there is!! never disappointed and been coming here 20+ years! Always clean too!“

“My fave Chinese takeout spot in West Haven! I've ordered from Lucky Kitchen several times, and the food is delicious every time. The prices are unbeatable- tons of lunch specials for under $10. The man at the counter is always super friendly, too. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great takeout place.

Parking: There's a free lot right by the sports bar, so you only have to walk less than a block to reach the restaurant.“

“this food is the bomb.com. its well seasoned nothing i got was nasty. this is some of the best rice ive had from a chinese joint. the only thing is the egg roll might have a little extra oil because 1 of mines had a lot of oil but it was the only one like that. but yeah even the soup is good and they are very nice which i never thought i would care about but the are actually have a pleasant energy. no delivery, and cash only. but worth it imo.“

“Today was my first time having takeout from this place. I had the orange chicken , Shrimp fried rice and eggrolls. Everything was so so good so far they have the best eggrolls I’ve ever had. My son was the one who told me about this place It’s the only place they order from.“

“I loved the service, the food was delish! Amazing food 😋 so good, the amazing young man named Jason! Was such an amazing person and kind, and it was nice and clean I’m not sure why this place doesn’t have a 5.0!!! It deserves it, and it was so cheap and affordable which is an added bonus.“

“Looked at the places nearby and found this place. I had eaten the general Tso’s chicken lunch special (8.95 with white rice and a soda), and it’s very good, different from other Chinese food. But I really like it’s tangy and little bit of spices. The service is done by one person, so it’s good to come into the store with patience, but usually there’s not that many people in the store at once. But that doesn’t mean it is bad. If you want to try a new place then come here and just give it a try.“

“This is my third time ordering from China Star and I have no complaints at all. Their food is always fresh delicious & hot. The staff is very welcoming and very friendly the delivery drivers always smiling and very polite. I am not too sure about the atmosphere inside because I have not been there personally I've only gotten delivery. Their food is amazing I've tried almost everything and it's always good 👍🏾🫶🏾“

“The food was excellent. My wife and I ordered soup dumplings, skewers, fried rice and the claypot tofu.

The skewers were excellent. The lamb had a good level of spice and cuts had a generous mix of rendered fat.

Soup dumplings have been trending lately but this place does a great job— skin is springy, broth inside very rich, and does not taste super doughy like a lot of dumplings in the area.

The clay pot, man, it brought me back to my childhood. It heavily reminded me of what my grandmother used to make me as a kid.

You should eat here.“

“We usually order from a chinese takeout near the high school, but sadly it's gone downhill IMO. We ordered a few days ago, I was impressed. Food seemed fresh, thank you Blessings for being generous with the pork in the pork fried rice as well as the pork lo main. I couldnt go all 5 stars only because it wasnt perfect, I honestly didn't care for the broth used in the won ton soup. It tasted like a mix of really strong French onion and beef broth, just not for me. Overall 4.5 stars will definitely order again! Very good!“

“Food was fantastic. Got the orange chicken vegetable lo mein, and crab ragoons. Everything tasted authentic and not sugared up.The service was good, cashier offered insight to what we ordered.The place itself was very hot and I dined in. I'm not sure if the AC was broken, but i was sweating.“

“So far, I’ve only had the chicken and broccoli which is very good, but I have to say the real star out of the two items I ordered was the hot and sour soup! They’re hot and Sour soup is the best I’ve had in the area hands-down however it is very spicy so if you don’t want it spicy, ask them to alter it. Update I tried the curry shrimp and it was the best curry shrimp dish of any Chinese food establishment I’ve ever been to.“

“I've been eating their food for about 12 years now & no other fast food Chinese restaurant compares. Hands down my favorite which actually makes me scared to go away to college & no longer be able to order from there.😢 Everyone should definitely try their food!“

“I ordered a large chicken lo mein, but requested it be made in the steamed pork dumpling sauce, instead of the lo-mein sauce—The very kind woman who helped me said, she never had a customer ask her for that, I love it, and it was delicious here also!! Thnk you for doing that! It was delicious!! Its a sweeter sauce..thats why I love it!! Thnks!!!!!!!!“

“I have been ordering from this restaurant for probably about 15 to 20 years and right now I’m not driving. Usually I will go pick my food up in order to ensure it’s freshness and all of that stuff because I’m a real stickler however I’m glad I didn’t allow for the negative reviews to discourage me because I placed my order for something that I’ve been craving so badly and everything arrived fresh everything was hot. I literally have no complaints and I’m so satisfied with everything I got thank you thank you thank you“

“China King on Chapel St is one of those places that grows up with you. I used to come here as a kid, and somehow the classic menus still look exactly the same — and I mean that in the best way. Those old-school pictures and the simple layout bring back memories instantly.The food still hits the way it did back then: hot, flavorful, and comforting. It’s the kind of spot that stays true to itself, and that’s why it’s still one of my favorites downtown.“

“I can't believe after moving away and coming back 15 year later this icon of a restaurant is still open. From middle school til highschool this place was my staple. OMG they added new ideas but the vibe is still the same. I love coming home and seeing thing are not so different. So proud of this restaurant and it long years of service. 💜“

“This was the first time I ordered food from Main Garden. If you are looking for delicious Chinese food at very affordable prices, I highly recommend this place. My favorite dish was the House Special Fried Rice—it even included crab meat, something I haven't found anywhere else—so I give it five stars.“

“great food. eggrolls are the best“

“They're always nice & the food is always prepared fresh. The store is always clean. The service is quick. Portions are filling. A great option for Chinese food.

Vegetarian options: Available

Parking: Street parking, maybe nearby in the neighborhood or while visiting the hospital.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat surface entry. Push door.“

“Amazing fried rice!! Ask them to make it authentic (no turmeric or food coloring which is what makes it really yellow) and they will!!

Wonton soup was top notch as well. I'm looking forward to trying more dishes from here.“

“I saw this Asian restaurant for a few years never ate there, I live in area now gave them a try, baby listen the chicken wing excellent ( I don't like big wings small wings are cooked for me I appreciate their willingness to make me Happy
this is hit the food taste clean, no after taste no old grease, service & attitude wonderful.cooked my food like I asked, nice plants, clean space. Not eating at any other Asian restaurant on whalley. This my spot now

Sign Rose your new friend“

“Just ate here again took a little break from fast food, but omg this place has done a 360! New owners are amazing so kind and generous the food is soo good !! And the portions are great ! Will be coming back again favorite Chineese food spot so far !“

“I'm surprised at ratings. The ribs were good, not great. Probably could have had little more flavor but they were not greasy. Rice and shrimp roll ingredients were fresh and again, not greasy with decent flavor. I didn't feel sick after eating like most Chinese places that are greasy . I ordered from Doordash“

“I always wanted to order from here…. I got the plain fried rice with Chicken broccoli ?.. it was delicious I also got some Chicken wings I love them as well very juicy … however, I was not too crazy for the shrimp egg rolls… they were not crispy n had an after taste to them … not sure if the oil is frequently changed … it taste it kinda oily n stale n they were not crispy at all and I forgot to ask for soy sauce n hot sauce n they did not included a few packs , normally when I order from other places , they include some soy sauce whether i ask for it or not… but the rice with Chiken brócoli ? n wings were very tasty n delicious ?.. the driver was very friendly n fast service … I would come here again but I would not be getting the egg rolls from here… was kinda disappointed with the egg rolls!!!“

“The food is always hot and fresh. I only take out so I can't say about delivery wait times. This is one of the few Chinese takeouts I'll eat from. ENJOY! Also, I've only ordered pork lo mein and chicken finger with pork fried rice.“

“(Sorry for the first messy photo of the tofu and rice, I was so hungry I dug in😂)

I ordered General tso tofu as well as a large chicken and rice soup.

For years, Foliage had been my go to spot for delicious Chinese takeout. Their food is always fresh and well prepared as well as easy and understanding communication provided by staff.

It’s shocking why Foliage has bad reviews because everytime I order, the food is clearly fresh and never over or undercooked compared to other Chinese restaurants in New Haven or east haven.

If you want great Chinese food at great cost and timely delivery for either yourself or the whole family, Foliage is your best choice!“

“First time trying here, I got the sesame chicken with white rice combo with an egg roll and it was delicious and fresh. I had it for delivery and the order came in around 35 minute's like the time they had said so. I will be ordering again“

“This is your classic Chinese takeout place-- but they have a few tables AND they let you use the restroom, which not all Chinese takeout places do. The restroom was pleasant. The place wasn't fancy: no table cloths, casual attire, normal Chinese takeout prices. I got the shrimp with Chinese vegetables and brown rice. The sauce was a bit too sweet. There weren't many shrimp in there -- which is common with Chinese food -- and one of them tasted a bit off, but I didn't get sick. The vegetables and brown rice were good. It was basically exactly what you would expect. There was a good selection of vegetables -- and they had a broccoli free option, which I like, because broccoli gives me gas. The neighborhood is depressing. There's a lot of litter in the gutter. I was able to find street parking nearby with no problem, even though it was Friday evening.“
