Authentic Chinese food for sure. I was blown away with their Roast pork with oyster sauce. Yummm. Worth to try other dish too!

So I live in upper Manhattan and was staying in the Hamptons for the New Year, and we landed on this spot for our easy take out meal of the week. It is SO GOOD. All the traditional "New York Chinese Take Out" standards you'd need, and done well, with the added bonus of-- given the reason-- featuring COPIOUS amounts of seafood (where appropriate, of course.) For instance, we got the house fried rice, which has chicken, shrimp and pork, and I swear it basically had a shrimp in every bite. I'm used to places skimping on the shrimp, or it being really sad and tiny-- these were meaty ones, and delicious. So... that was awesome. And my shrimp roll also had big glorious shrimp abounding in it. Another thing: I've always held that the best Chinese restaurants (again, I'm talking NY Chinese takeout, I don't know about the real cuisine, so that's not what I'm talking about here) can be judged by their hot and sour soup. This place looked especially promising to me as they have two kinds: regular and seafood (of course.) So yes, I got both, and yes, this was some of the best dang hot and sour I have ordered in my storied career of ordering many, many hot and sour soups from Chinese restaurants the world over-- literally, I've had hot and sour in Scotland. To my despair, it was the best that I've ordered since moving back to New York last year, but alas, this is a bit too far to Postmates to my hood in Upper Manhattan, haha. The seafood hot and sour was so full of imitation crab, shrimp and scallops, there was barely any room for broth. Delicious and filling. Of course, we also got your other standards like Sesame Chicken, General Tso's and egg rolls, all of which were delicious and right on point. And while a lot of my local spots have been skimping on the fortune cookies, this place gave us six-- and they were yummy, AND they had good fortunes, not those bogus ones. A random happy bonus, I think. Overall, this was a great bargain for tons of food, and I wish I lived closer-- or maybe it's good that I don't because... I'd eat it constantly. Not to be missed, if you're in town looking for a yummy, quick eat.

I am highly disappointed! I ordered for delivery and it took an hour and fifteen minutes! My house is 7 minutes away on a bad day, I must add! I called 3 times and every time, I was lied to. The business informed me that they are calling the driver and that he was just a few blocks away! Yes, he was... we know this already! I am only 7 minutes away. After the long wait, my daughter opens the meal, starts to eat and pulls out a string of hair from the meal! I looked a little closer , found another string of hair entangled in the rice!!! I am done! Delivery rates a 0 , food rates a 0, customer service rates a 0. Possibly of me ordering from here again, 0...

I just moved into the neighborhood and was dead exhausted from unpacking all day so I need a place that delivered. I got my food in 13 minutes!!! Mind you I am a few blocks away, but still!!!!! The food was fresh, hot, and I think I may be dangerously addicted to the cold sesame noodles! I will be ordering from them again!

This is our favorite Chinese place around. My husband grew up in East Haven and proclaimed it's the best. I'll admit, for Chinese take-out, around these parts, it basically is. Overtime, we moved to Hamden and missed it and now that we're in North Branford, we feel it isn't all that far away, but still a bit of an annoying drive to go get it. Enter UberEats. A godsend. We can now enjoy it again and delivered to us makes it even better. My husband has never steered away from his Chicken and Broccoli with white rice and an egg roll. I tend to try everything from General Tso's Tofu, their roast pork lo mein or fried rice. Their crab rangoons top any of the competitors. Honestly, anything you order will not disappoint you. Not orderly salty, not super oily.. Goldilocks would say this one is just right.

food was delivered earlier than expected and arrived hot and fresh! excellent service as well :) the ratings might throw u off first, but don't be fooled, the food is def on par with other chinese places ive ordered from, if not better. i do like that they use a darker sauce for their lo mein!

Placed a big order for work. I expected the order to have something wrong or missing. It was easy to order online and I asked them to individually label each person's order. Nothing was missing, and delivery was earlier than expected . Everyone said the food was good and not salty. Good price for portions.

I like some of the food, however there are dishes I will never order again(egg foo young, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken ). They deliver quickly, but you have to ask for a fork and napkins!!! You give a bunch of sauces that i will never use, but no fork or napkins? If there isn't anyone else, it's not bad.

it was delivered in a timely fashion, food was okay. May or may not go back, not sure. I ordered the chicken w/ broccoli lunch special and it just tasted different than I'm used to but the chicken was good.

This place has great food and lots of dishes to chose from the service is fast the place is very small but they do offer delivery.

They are under new management so the food is very much improved. I love the Singapore Mei Fun and you can actually see the shrimp, very tasty. The egg rolls weren't drowning in oil like most places. Fast delivery and prices are decent.

The food is good. But you have to specify that you want silverware with your order, here I am with my food, eating it with a screwdriver. I called the counter and no compromise could be made about getting silverware to me at work.
