31 Best Chinese Restaurants near Ellington

“I’m pretty impressed with the amount of food they give you.I ordered a large sweet and sour chicken and the container was overflowing with chicken. The staff is friendly and the food was hot and ready. I’m excited to try other dishes they serve.“

“Update: tried the house fried rice for the first time, highly recommend! Hot and sour soup is always excellent.The menu prices have gone up a little (about 50¢ more per entree type item) and the hours a different now too. They are only open on Tuesdays in December. Otherwise they are closed on Tuesday.Good Chinese, very friendly, very fast. The prices are reasonable and you get a good amount of food. I find it better than the other Chinese restaurant Hang's in Stafford.Be aware that there is no indoor seating. There's some picnic tables in the grass but appears to be mostly take out.“

“Ordered on a whim when the menu was left at my door today. Definitely not disappointed! Had 3 different sushi rolls and a seafood udon, all fresh and delicious, even my toddler ate it up! They also carry my husbands favorite Thai tea so that's a bonus!“

“Im willing to drive 20 minutes from home because this is the best Chinese food I've ever had! This is my second time ordering from here. I got the sesame chicken with veggie fried rice and a small beef lo mein. The chicken has this wonderful crunch to it and the sauce is so delicious. The rice is cooked to perfection. And the lo mein is soo good and more than plenty for a small. This Chinese food is so good that you can reheat it the next day and it'll taste just as good as it did fresh! The flavors are fresh and its probably the only Chinese restaurant that hasnt made my stomach hurt after eating it. Totally worth the money!“

“Great food and excellent service“

“always love coming here, they are always on time but today was not the day to make me wait 75 minutes for my order. My son and I spent 3 hours at CCMC for his final cardiologist appointment... then I wait for food!!! I honestly wished I got something for me waiting so long. I've been going there since they opened... I will continue to go but if this happens again I might not 🤔🤔“

“Went with my daughter and we got to plates and two sodas. Paid over $50 for food that was ok but not great. The service was fast but its really more of a take out place. We dined in and it felt like we were eating in their back pantry. The table was so wobbly we decided to make a game of it to see who could eat without spilling. Would not go back again.“

“The absolute best Chinese food I've ever had. It's always fantastic and the service is great.“

“When living in South Windsor for years we used to always get our Chinese from SunSun. We always got delivery.I remember, delivery always used to get there quickly food was hot. Food was always excellent! I was recently driving by and was thinking about dinner. I said that's where sun ☀️ is. I stopped for takeout. Typical 15 minute wait. I must admit. They still have the best Chinese food around. If you haven't tried them I highly recommend. Also I couldn't believe the operation. They're so busy they have which appears to be a couple of college kids working the front taking orders. Excellent service all the way around! The only downfall I could see or actually feel. Please turn up the heat in the waiting area. Lol. Once again your food is excellent! Service is excellent!I will be back.“

“5/11/2025 Best and least expensive Chinese Restaurants around! I've been ordering here for decades and still order here. Ordering here for Mother's Day actually. Thanks for all the good times. :)“

“Been going here since I was a little kid. I still live in town and when I’m feeling this kind of food. I call empire they are always so friendly, and always work so hard from front desk to the chefs. Definitely top 2 Chinese restaurants in Manchester.“

“Best place in town food great large portions quick on delivery 🚚“

“Our regular restaurant was closed and this one is close by so, we decided to give them a try. Let me tell you, the food was very good, better than our regular place! We ordered; General Tso’s chicken, pork Chow Mein, and chicken and broccoli. The meat to vegetable ratio was outstanding, I was really surprised. The price is not matched either, we got those three meals for $36.04, you can’t get breakfast for that for three people!!

We now have a new Chinese restaurant!!“

“This has been my gavorite chinese spot since i was a kid. Im willing to drive to manchester from windsor locks just for some of tue best chinese food around. Always telling people to go here, great food with good portion sizes and low costs.“

“Great food, love the gluten free options, amazing customer service. 😊“

“I love this place. Everything is freshly made. I've never had a bad dish. I recommend them to everyone.“

“We had a lovely family dinner here with our daughter, her husband and 2 little ones. Everything was terrific, from service to moo shoo. Can't believe earlier reviews which were negative. Have been coming here for dine-in or takeout for several years, and always enjoy it!!!“

“We did take out. It was great that we could order online and it was ready quickly. The menu was large but a bit tricky to see everything online. The staff was friendly and efficient.

The beef lo mien was good and a large portion but a bit salty. The fried wantons were good and a large order of them. The general tso's was ok and the egg rolls had a bit of a different seasoning.

The restaurant was a bit small but clean.

All in all, I'd give it a try again and have a few different things on the menu.“

“I order here frequently and they are fantastic. Small family run business. The food always gets delivered hot and quickly. If I stop and pick up they are friendly. My favorite is the chicken with fried noodles. I've had their szechuan dishes too and the Mei fun among other dishes. In the 6 years or so I've been ordering, they got one order wrong and promptly delivered the correct one and told me to keep the incorrect order. The online ordering process is easy. Highly recommend.“

“The food has always been good here ! .. I had the Egg Foo Young tonight.. It was the best I've ever had !! .. Great Food, Great People and Great Service !!! :)“

“It’s a take-out only place. A great place with delicious food. Consistent and affordable. We go there at least twice a month and are never disappointed. Every time we go elsewhere for Chinese food we are comparing it to United China and it never compares. It’s a go-to for us!“

“Although I’ve eaten from here several times, this was my first time trying their hibachi and it did not disappoint. The rice was fresh, and the hibachi was well prepared to my liking. On the downside, the watery vegetables lacked flavor and had an interesting texture. It’s still a good place for a quick lunch while shopping!?️“

“general tsaos is amazing! they make food quickly and always flavorful“

“Tried wings and fries from Peking House today and they did NOT disappoint 😋🍗 The wings had the perfect Asian-inspired flavor and the fries were super seasoned and addictive. Definitely worth it!

“My husband and I just picked up from here yesterday when we saw it passing by and we were totally impressed! We usually go to PokeDon in South Windsor but we split a spicy tuna bowl and not only was it absolutely delicious, but the customer service was great too. Give this place a chance, we will definitely be back ourselves.“

“Hole in the wall but great food usually. Service is a little rough as they appear to be short handed all the time. Reminds me of a NJ hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant- that is meant as a solid compliment! Will continue to order from here.“

“My family and I have been coming here for years for takeout. The food is always fresh and delicious and very rarely do they make an error...At least in our experience. The service is quick and courteous as you enter, and the food is always ready fast. It is not a restaurant that you done in at though, takeout only. I highly recommend their Rangoons, dumplings, mei fun, beef or chicken with broccoli, pepper steak, and chicken with garlic sauce. We will continue to give them our business. Good stuff 👍“

“We enjoyed dinner here and the food was excellent, fast service, good value. Enjoyed the pork fried rice, egg rolls were a little different than what I am used to which is why I gave 4 stars vs 5, but overall great experience. Pictures is jumbo shrimp with veggies, crispy orange beef and beef and broccoli were also delicious.“

“The food was good. Had alot of variety and the General Tso's chicken wasn't gummy or overly sweet. The hot and sour soup was light and not gelatinous. They had a larger variety of non Chinese food items such as roast beef, ham, pork chops, linguine and crayfish. Even their pizza wasn't the typical buffet pizza ( it wasn't very good but worlds better than the typical buffet pizza ). The only complaint i have was that they didn't have pot stickers and hot pepper oil and they didn't have as many desert offerings. A good value and surprisingly better quality food. They had some battered chicken that was similar to tansuyuk with a sweet, crispy batter that was very good.“

“YUMMY FOOD AND GREAT SERVICE =)“

“I have tried several dishes here, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and I can confidently say that they have consistently maintained the same great taste.

In the vegetarian category, I enjoyed the Madras rice sambar, vegetable korma, mixed Manchurian, and buttermilk. For non-vegetarian options, I sampled the mamasam pepper, lamb biryani, chicken lollipop, and chicken curry with curry leaves. I especially recommend the goat and lamb dishes; they were fresh, juicy, and tender. The spice levels were just right, adding to the flavorful experience.

I would highly recommend both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The service was also good, and the ambiance was pleasant.“
