“Feels Like Home – Amazing Cantonese Food! Golden Palace in Connecticut is hands down one of the best Cantonese restaurants I’ve been to. Their dim sum is so authentic — just like the kind you’d get in Hong Kong or southern China. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. What really makes this place special is the people. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming — every time I come here, I feel like I’m back home in China. It’s that kind of warm, family-style hospitality that’s hard to find these days. Whether you’re craving dim sum or a comforting Cantonese meal, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!“

“Such a nice place, new place with authentic dumplings, can’t wait to try again! So good!“

“Good sushi for a great price“

“First time ordering today. Food is excellent. I am so glad i tried them. It is delicious. Best food we have had.“

“I am not from the area and was in town to do some shopping. My boyfriend and I decided to try some takeout here instead of back at home. I am so glad we did. Don’t tell my local favorite takeout but China Express has the best crab Rangoon I’ve ever had. We also got sesame, chicken and General Tso chicken, lo mein, boneless spare ribs, and a couple of egg rolls. We ended up with more egg rolls than I expected. This is good because their eggrolls are excellent. They are so fresh and they are not greasy. The chicken dishes were also both very good. We got a ton of food for the money we spent and will be able to eat it again tomorrow. Thank you guys so much. We will be back next time we are shopping in New London.“

“I love Chinese food, and the quality of the ingredients are top of the line, unlike any other place. When I want Chinese food I will only come here.“

“This place is criminally underrated. They have the best dumplings, and I have literally made myself ill because I could NOT stop eating their Singapore Mei Fun. I order takeout from them pretty regularly and if there's anything that's not awesome on their menu, I haven't found it.“

“We ordered from this place on New Year’s day, literally because we just moved into a new place near by this Chinese Restaurant and our old place was closed… so we Googled what was near us and tried it. So I ordered online, and called the restaurant to make sure they received the order. The manager had to check but called me back and was very happy and nice over the phone. I am a restaurant worker too, so I left an online note that I’d be tipping $10 in cash and Happy New Year! The driver was super kind and smiley. So far.. so good. Me, my son and my dad are pretty picky about or Chinese and boy did China Express … IMPRESS! We tasted every item of each other’s complimenting the freshness, attention to detail, portion size, ease of ordering and of course the taste was phenomenal. To be honest— the best Chinese food we’ve had in this area. For the cost, and kindness— it was such a great New Years treat. I hope you all enjoy!“

“Wok expressWhere do I even begin. I was a weak, lonely boy with nothing in my life to provide any sort of stimulation or reason to live. Everything changed when I decided to miserably stop by at this seemingly inconspicous, orthodox mall restaurant. Life could not have been any worse for me at the time, but it all changed as soon as I caught a whiff of the sweet, juicy, delicious orange chicken. Sitting on a sample platter was the shiny, golden, beautifully glazed piece of delectable chicken meat that had ever touched my mouth. I immediately passed out from how delicious the food was. I could not fathom how scrumptious that Chinese food tasted. I still think about it all the time. Back to when i first tasted the deliciousness of Wok Express. All day, every day, I think of wok express and the flavorful food. Anyway, I woke up on the floor of the mall and saw the Chinese man staring down at me, while still holding the platter of food. “Sir, you ok?” He asked me. But I didn’t not realize that he had spoken. In fact, I did not realize anything at all, except for Wok Express. It seemed like the Chinese food turned on some sort of hidden switch in my brain, where I finally understood why I was alive on this great green earth. To eat at Wok Express. Oblivious to everyone and everything but Wok Express, I staggered over to the counter, and saw the heaps of delicious treats waiting for me. My mouth watered as I stared down into the piles of Chicken, noodles, and various other delicacies. My dopamine levels were skyrocketing. My salivary glands were working overtime. My intestinal system was preparing for the boatloads of food I was about to shovel down. The lady at the counter looked confused as I ravenously stared down at the sources of sustenance. Quickly, I whipped out my wallet and took out a 100 dollar bill. “Give me the best you got,” I told them, still eyeing the gleaming glaze that sat upon the lightly fried, perfectly seasoned general Tao’s chicken. The delectable lo mein sat next to the chicken, waiting for me to devour their slippery, salty, sweet, appetizing golden brown deliciousness in a few quick moments. I loudly slammed the 100 dollar bill as the lady loaded up my plate with Mile high stacks of various different foods. Time seemed to slow down, as if fate was trying to stop me from consuming the life fuel that lay in front of me. My stomach growled with agony as I watched the lady pile up more and more food. The cosmic entities are playing with me, I thought. They didn’t want me to achieve enlightenment through Wok Express! Anger soon formed in the pit of my chest as I waited for the food. So far it seemed, but so close. After an eternity, I finally had my food ready. All my emotions dissipated as I later my hands on the side of the plate. Finally, after living all my life empty and without any motivation, finally, I found why I was alive. Why I was born into this world. My purpose in life. Every second I was not getting ready to munch on the heavenly Chinese food, my anticipation and dopamine would go berserk. I sat down as fast as lightning, set down the plate, and immediately started to eat. First, one at a time, a smal piece of orange chicken, a wonton, a dumpling, but gradually, the speed at which I engorged myself exponentially expanded. Oh, sweet delicious food! Why couldn’t I find you earlier in my life? Why did I have to live and wait so long to finally achieve what I needed in my miserable, wretched life? The taste was heavenly. That is the only way to describe it. Dropping the utensils, I resorted to using my bare hands to gobble down more food. I plunged my hands into the mixed colors of orange, golden, brown, and other of Chinese food. Pulling my fists out, I threw the food vigorously down my mouth, chomping like a wild beast feasting on his first meal of the winter. As I ate, I felt a connection in my brain. Everything made sense now. I felt as if I was hovering out of my body. I could see everybody bustling around the mall, people shopping. I had achieved omnipotence through Wok Express.“

“I love the broccoli and garlic sauce so flavorful & just the right amount of spice !! & there boneless spare ribs are so tender they melt right in your mouth just chefs kiss !! Fried dumplings are so amazing and they also melt k your mouth !!! Beef and cheese rolls they’re amazing I g fast like a Philly cheese steak egg roll 10 outta 10 don’t miss out on this gem !!!!“

“best chinese takeout place around hands down never disappoints.“

“Food was fantastic and flavorful.“

“This food was delicious, not greasy and fresh. The donuts were delicious and the eggs tastes fresh every thing was a 5 star rating. I'm always iffy about ordering from the right place, you can tell these people have a clean and respectful familly and there food shows. I work in restaurants for over 20 years I only orders delivery but everything was an amazing experience. Definitely order from this place you will be happy you did. Worth the price. I was very satisfied. I live in New London and I'm happy I didn't ordered from a place near my house. This is the best, you will be happy.“

“Tried Dan's Rice Box for the first time and we were not disappointed!!! The food was fresh and delicious. we ordered delivery and it got to us fast and still hot. love that we can order online and even gives an option to leave any needs on each item. The driver Angel was awesome!!!! We will definitely be ordering again!!!“

“I love this place. My family gets take out at least a few times a year from them for a year or so now. It’s our go to spot for Chinese food. It’s always fun when we do dine in. I haven’t found Chinese food that even comes to how good this place is anywhere else (in this part of CT). Highly recommend“

“Had a family dinner with 10 guests for my sons 18th birthday last night. We've been going to Peking a long time and always have great service however, last night was extra special. Our waitress was great, and even surprised my son with a wrapped birthday gift. Very happy customers“

“Since moving to Norwich, I have had a terrible time finding a good Chinese take out spot. Today, for the first time at this spot, I ordered a boneless spare rib combo with egg roll. The boneless ribs were absolutely delicious, just wish there was more of them, the pork fried rice delicious, and probably one of the best egg rolls I've had! Highly recommended!“

“The quality of the food exceptional, great spare rib bone in without being overly thick and nasty and overly greasy or too much sauce. The general tsos chicken is exceptional. Not too salty or oversaturated in sauce and the fried rice is tasty“

“My food was delicious. However, I have one suggestion, and an observation. First, back off on the sugar. My beans were sweet, ribs too sweet, the Chinese restaurants around here have taken to adding so much sugar, it doesn’t even taste savory, only sweet. Beef up on the black bean sauce, throw in some hoisin, don’t be afraid to season it. When I go to a Chinese restaurant, I want Chinese food, not Chinese American food. “Chinese” vegetables have practically disappeared off the menu replaced with regular veggies. Where’s the Bok Choi, the bitter melon, the black mushrooms, the closest I can find is a bit of bok choi, bamboo shoots, maybe water chestnuts and that’s it. I don’t want carrots and peas in my fried rice, it’s not right, I want bean sprouts! Ok, back to the review. Good points: hot food, beans perfectly cooked but it said spicy and it wasn’t spicy at all, the Sichuan wonton were supposed to be spicy too. In short, increase seasonings and spices, back off the sugar, and it would be perfect. The food was delivered hot, well packaged and wrapped thoughtfully. Presentation 100%. I will definitely be back to try again.“

“The hot and sour soup is the best I ever tasted. Mushrooms, chicken, tofu. Most other Chinese places use bare minimum ingredients. Priced very fairly. The curry chicken rolls are so fresh, I loved this quick and delicious food. Thank you king wah“

“I've been coming here for years! I've ordered many many different dishes! Tonight I ordered General Tsos chicken and shrimp fried rice! Absolutely delicious! I wish they gave more than 4 shrimps though, but definitely delicious 😋“

“They have a few tables, but I've never seen anyone eating there.
It's (for me) primarily a take out place.
I found Golden Wok in the middle 90's when they were on Bayonet St. There menu and food quality hasn't changed in that 27 years.
I moved out of New London in 2003 and I travel back to Golden Wok at least 6 or 7 times a year.“

“It's been a long time since I've been to Panda Express. So while at Foxwoods Casino I stopped by for a bite to eat before heading to the slot machines. For the price and amount I received it was worth it. Food is much better than when I last visited which was years ago. No complaints so there you have it. I had the 1 meat meal and I did the Beijing Beef with white steam rice 🍚. I finished it so that should tell you something 😋“

“I love your food“

“This review is long overdue. This is my family’s go-to Chinese take out spot. The staff is so friendly and the food is top tier. We’ve ordered pretty regularly this last year and have never been disappointed.

Suggestions: crab rangoons, house lo mein, house fried rice & orange chicken.“

“Love coming here always friendly and polite, and the place is clean. The selection is fabulous, would highly recommend.“

“Lucky house is good. the people are friendly to me just moved here. I order sometimes. I sit down too. Good price.“

“This was the best buffet experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. I would go back every day of the week. $13 for some of the finest cuisine in all of New England. I would pay thousands. The service was splendid, if I could stay all day and eat all 3 meals I would. I have spent my last 5 paychecks on panda buffet and I do not regret it one bit. The crab rangoon is TO DIE for!!!“
