10 Best Chinese Restaurants near New Hartford

“Really liked it!! Thank you, very friendly and great food!!“

“What an amazing meal. I can see why this restaurant has pretty much five stars. I got the chicken with mixed vegetables dinner combo for lunch and it did not disappoint. Everything tasted fresh and I asked them to make it a little spicy and it was spot on.“

“Decided I wanted to get takeout, so have been hearing great things about Shu Express in Avon. Definitely the right decision. Everything we ordered was fantastic. This gonna be the new go to for really great Chinese takeout.“

“Delectable cuisine executed expertly! Although, I have eaten Crab Rangoon countless times, having it here was like tasting it for the 1st time. They were folded into a triangle to give you more filling! Also, my husband has probably eaten fried dumplings at every Chinese Restaurant we have ever been to & declared these to be the best, without dispute. I ordered spice Szechuan Beef and was kind of having a transcendent experience with it all. Chinese food beyond measure!!! Also, an oasis tucked into a remote area with reasonable prices. Tip generously, and compliments to the chef! ? You can tell they make their own dough here! A must-try!“

“the best chinese in CT not just torrington, taste just like ny chinese food brought me back to the good ole city days everytime i go. They only take cash but prices is cheap the mom that runs the place is so nice and so helpful all the cooks show love when you come in as well. Honestly the only place i get chinese from now.“

“November 2024 - Looking for a new Chinese place, we chose the Chinatown Restaurant in Canton. Checking out the online menu, some details were left out about some of the items, so I called before a family member picked up our takeout.

Very helpful, it sounded like the Chef himself as he was busy cooking, he told me they only had one dumpling, not a choice of vegetable or pork. They put both together. He also said the House Lo Mein consisted of shrimp, chicken and pork.

Our takeaways were as follows:
The egg roll and shrimp roll had the same crispy wrapping and were both good. The spring rolls were not to our family member's liking as they had what all of the Chinese places around us currently have which is a paste of some kind in the center. I will have to try these myself to see what they mean.

The wonton soup was very good. The right temperature, wonton dough not too dense, filling was pure and the broth was flavorful.
Their dumplings were also cooked expertly, but one family member found the combination unsatisfying as there wasn't either enough meat or vegetables to their liking. The rest of us enjoyed them, though I realize if you're a vegetarian you cannot get dumplings here as in other restaurants where they make both.

Mains: The winner was General Tso's chicken. I never order it, but so many people do and it always seems like a winner overall. The serving was plentiful, the chicken was tender with a soft coating and a little broccoli on the side, which is common with this dish.

The beef and broccoli also had tender meat, a good sauce and was a good portion size. The only negative was the broccoli stalks were too long and undercooked. A large container of well cooked white rice came to share with this meal and the Tso's chicken.

The House Lo Mein did not look anything to me like what I would get in California, but even after so many years back home in CT, I'm still adjusting to these differences. What looked like a container of brown noodles with a little bit of addons, I asked, is this mine? Yes, was the response as everyone was happy to run off with theirs. Fortunately, it tasted better than it looked presentation wise. Still, I could only have two servings before giving the other half away for someone else's lunch the next day.

Our favorite thing we all agreed they did the best with this order, was their House Fried Rice with an added egg. Perfectly made with shrimp, chicken, pork, the egg and some fresh peas.

Plenty of fortune cookies were included in the bag, along with chopsticks and a variety of sauces. They do have indoor seating. Maybe six tables? The owners are very polite and accommodating. Open six days a week basically 11Am - 10Pm. Closed Mondays and most holidays. Plenty of parking as they are within a small shopping plaza.“

“Wondering if there is new ownership? Last three visits, there were problems with each order….1st time, missing sweet &sour sauce for Sweet and Sour chicken combo meal, next time missing the egg rolls for the combo meals, now this time ordered (and paid for) teriyaki beef on a stick, got teriyaki chicken instead….used to be the best place around, but has gone down hill recently. I guess it’s time to re evaluate the other options in town.“

“I love it there. Been at this Chinese restaurant since I was a child. This family owned restaurant really gives their heart to the food served. I am disabled and therefor unable to pick up my food and they have always been delivering it every Friday and Saturday night after 8. Their service is great! Not all restaurants have this service! It’s wonderful!“

“Excellent. Never disappoints ❤️“

“The best Chinese take-out in the area! We ordered a large variety of items for a group of friends to share family-style, and all the dishes were a perfect combination of generous amounts of fresh ingredients prepared with top-notch technique. Would highly recommend the crab Rangoon (definitely the best the group has had) and the tenderloin beef. They also provided a large amount of fortune cookies and fried eggroll chips simply because they noticed the amount of food being ordered. We’ll be back for sure!“
