“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 👍🏾🫶🏾“

“great food. eggrolls are the best“

“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!!!!!!!!“

“(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!“

“One of my favorite places to eat healthy food while in New Haven!!!“

“The only place I eat food from the knowing Pete and Jason Jason since he was born, the food service has always completed in a timely fashion for me to pick up in between my shifts. The location is spot on convenient and the prices are averaged. Thank you again to peace and G Jason owner of Pizza Hut Chinese takeout on Derby Ave., New Haven, CT.“

“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!😂“

“There was a honest mistake with my meal order and I didn’t get something, I called and told them and they were extremely amazing and courteous that they did not only apologized and refunded my funds but also gave a complementary free meal. Its not even about the free meal its just the principle and amazing service. I was so surprised because I am used to people just very hesitantly apologize and sometimes it’s a hell to even get refunds, but this restaurant was amazing and very clean and top notch! I would recommend them to everyone! Food is A1 too!!!!!“

“I was so happy I decided to try this spot! I really enjoyed my chicken with broccoli Combination platter. It came with pork fried rice and an egg roll. The rice was delicious. The chicken was tender and moist. The broccoli was cooked to the perfect texture. I usually have to add soy sauce to my rice. I didn’t have to add anything. This food was bursting with flavor. I also had the wonton soup. It was good the crispy noodles that come with it we’re good This made me want to try different things Next time I go oh yes, there will be a next time.
Staff was friendly, courteous and funny! They make you feel like old friends. See you soon.“

“Best Chinese Food you will ever get in the area!!“

“Just grabbed some General Tso’s for lunch. (….my go to after a long What workday)

Anyway, the food is always great. The lady is ALWAYS nice! And the kitchen is always immaculate! Nothing fixes a bad Monday like this United!! 😋

In West Haven, there are a handful of takeout places that are just ALWAYS a pleasure to go to. This is one of them!! Thank you! 🙏“

“China Garden is my go-to spot for Chinese takeout in Branford! The food is delicious and the portions are huge! As a vegetarian, I love the availability of tofu as a protein option. General Tso’s tofu is my absolute favorite. The staff are very kind and warm too.“

“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.“

“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..!“

“Beyond good and super FRESH. We looked for a good Chinese place for 3 years now that isn't extra greasy and questionable ingredients. This is it! Broccoli was very fresh, as was the chicken. Brown rice was chewy and delicious. Bonus points for online ordering.“

“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“

“We have been going to Imperial Wok for many years. The food is well seasoned and delish. The owner is friendly and remembers my name each time we visit. We moved to NC 6 years ago and everytime we come to CT to visit, we stop here to bring food back with us to NC. That's how good it is.“

“The food was overall very delicious! Everything tasted very high quality 👌👌however, my one criticism would be that each dish had a little bit too much of one quality- the soup noodle was a little bit too sour and takes getting used to, the other noodle was a bit dry, and the cucumbers were very refreshing but a bit too sweet for me. I would still highly recommend all of these dishes though !!“

“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 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“

“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.“

“Our waiter Phillipe was fantastic!!! Food was great we will be back.“

“I love the food, my favorite is the lo mein! The restaurant is clean, good service, I had a wonderful experience, and a welcoming atmosphere. Everything was delusion and the staff were very friendly! I highly recommend this restaurant their service was quick. Everything exceeded my expectation! Looking forward to revisit!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Every dish is delicious no matter what you order. The flavors are well-balanced and not overpowering, while still capturing the best characteristics of Chinese cuisine.

All managers nice and very kind.
my korean friend recommended this restaurant.
Here is one of the best restaurant in NH!!!“

“I've gotten food here a few times, it is my go to for chienses food. I literally tell everybody about it. I'm obsessed with the egg fried rice and I am consistently craving it. Add an egg roll and its perfect. Literally such a nice sweet place with great food.“

“Came here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. This is your classic American Chinese spot. No frills but the food was on point and the service was quick. I had the orange chicken and it was delicious. Prices are great. Don’t be scared off by the bad reviews.“

“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. 💜“

“Delicious and excellent quality“

“The service was great. The individuals were kind, the environment was very clean and the food seemed fresh, all of it was hot and freshly cooked. The location is unfortunately in an urban area where there’s heavy criminal activity but nevertheless, criminals have to eat too lol. I’d definitely go again and the prices are not excessive; very reasonable.“

“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.“

“Tried the fried rice at Lucky Dragon and really enjoyed it. The rice was flavorful, nicely seasoned, and loaded with onions and meat. Portions are generous and perfect for a filling meal. Simple, classic Chinese takeout that hits the spot. Would definitely order again.“

“I have been to many different Chinese food restaurants and I have to say this by far is the best (in my area). Everything that I have ever gotten was absolutely amazing. Fresh food, no dyes in the food. You can definitely taste and see a quality in the food compared to other restaurants.“

“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 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“

“I came in and looked at the menu. The lady behind the counter was waiting on me, and then I ordered chicken wings with French fries. When I got my order, she was very polite and easygoing. The food was great because the food wasn't greasy. The service was excellent. They also serve seafood...seems like competitive priced with other seafood restaurants. Give this restaurant a try. Wasn't so bad with my experience, and it was my first time.“

“I have been getting takeout from Golden Island for many years now
I've ordered many items and the food has always been delicious and fresh
The chef is skilled and she is very nice
The only criticism I have is the interior of the restaurant needs to be freshened up
Otherwise the food and service is excellent“

“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.“
