20 Best Chinese Restaurants near Southbury

“Food is excellent! Used to be an Oriental Gourmet in Southbury customer but switched because the quality and taste of their food degraded so much within the last year or so and never got better. Plus errors with take out orders were the last straw. Fortune House is definitely worth the trip from Southbury to Southford! Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“My husband and I LOVE this place! We have been coming here for over 8 years now and it is the best Chinese in the area by far!The original owner was a very nice man, always remembered his customers by name and was a staple of the restaurant. When he unfortunately passed, his family took over and they are just as wonderful. I come here from New York (I travel between the tri-state for work frequently), and he always makes me feel welcome when I return. It can be a few months before he sees me again, but he remembers not only me, but my go-to order as well.The food is just as great as the people! Closest thing to NYC Chinese food I have found outside of NYC.“

“Tldr;
This is my go to Chinese takeout restaurant in town. I have a very strong loyalty to this establishment. The owners are very nice, and the food quality is consistent. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for some takeout. You can also expect your food to be done very quickly.

I have been going to this place for takeout for roughly a decade. I really like this place. The food isn't necessarily the best--in the sense of a fine Chinese restaurant--but for takeout I think its quality is VERY good. I do not mean this as something bad against this restaurant, it's just that a takeout restaurant has different priorities, expectations, and pricing requirements that a "non-takeout" restaurant does not have.

I think the best bang for your buck are the dinner combinations. They are great dinner meals, and depending on the person could even be lunch for the next day! I love that fact. If you do like individual orders--in the sense of an order of rice, and noodles, etc.--they have you covered as well. There are a lot of options, more so than the dinner combinations. Variety is the spice of life, you just have to pay a bit more since you are buying containers; which may not be a problem for you!

One of my favorite things about this place are the people. The owners are great. My main interaction is the woman. She is very kind, though you have to be patient as her English is difficult to understand at times: not all of the time. It has certainly gotten much better over the years. I also love that the restaurant is a family affair. Over the many years I have gone here, I've been privileged to see her children grow up and help her at the counter with customers. I have always loved it. Though, I have seen less of her children now, but I guess they got old enough to need to focus on other endeavors. I wish them the best.

This restaurant also supports digital ordering. You can use the qMenu app to send in an order. It's very convenient, and I highly recommend it.

Like most things in Woodbury, and CT to a greater degree, delivery is not an option unless you use some third-party like door dash or Uber eats. But, this place is in the center of town, so the drive there is quick and easy.

To conclude, I love this place; and I plan on continuing to be a customer until the day I ever leave this town. Until that day, I will continue to buy food from here. The food is very good, and the service is great. I highly recommend this place to any residents of Woodbury looking for some great Chinese takeout!“

“I have tried afew places in Seymour. Picked up takeout tonight. General Tsao Chicken and shrimp, fried dumplings, fried rice and an egg roll. Everything was amazing and fresh. Vegetables in the dish fresh. Food was amazing and not bland. Way better than the other places I have tried in Seymour. Don't believe the negative reviews. This will be my new go to for Chinese food without a doubt.“

“Wow, this is the best Chinese food I have found in the area. Food was hot and fresh and they use quality ingredients. The shrimp stir fried with vegetables in kung pao sauce were really fresh and perfectly cooked and the vegetables were still crispy. The crunchy water chestnuts were a nice touch. They don't use heavy gloopy sauces. The hot and sour soup was also a pleasant surprise. It was perfectly balanced with vinegar and some heat from chilis and had lots of fresh mushrooms and shredded bamboo shoots. Most of their business seems to be take-out. Don't be dissuaded by the appearances from the outside. We tried four different dishes and they were all hits. I will definitely be back!“

“Food is excellent! We had steamed dumplings, vegetable egg rolls, shrimp with Chinese vegetables, chicken and broccoli and the happy family. We arranged the time we needed to pick it up and it was ready when we walked in the door. Placing the order was easy. Quick and prices are very reasonable.

Parking: Plenty of spots right in front of the restaurant.“

“Went for a meal to eat after a long day at work. Was looking for a simple, stomach filling place to eat for a decent price. This place was just that. The girl at the front who seems to be the daughter saw me and stood up to take my order. The food was ready in just a few minutes but they still tasted amazing. They're not world-changing, but you get what you pay for. I also had a nice conversation with the owner, making the space really comfortable. I've been to several Chinese takeout restaurants around states (I travel a lot), but this place gave me such a hearty experience I just had to rate it.“

“Always order take out and coming from NY this is the most NY Chinese food I've found in the area. The food had flavor and they put a ton of duck sauce. I'm leaving this review after I've had take out at least 10 times over the past 6 months. Will 100% order take out again.“

“China Sea is Take out food only. Or is delivered. One of my TOP reasons of ordering here is…. When I was a little girl I would go with my parents (every Friday) out for Chinese. It was always the same restaurant that was on the Post Road, Orange CT. Well, anyway, food back, then was cooked so differently and better and most places than now. But China Sea is not far from that food taste flavor. Also, they are the only people in the valley that I’ve gone to that make fried rice, which I get the pork fried rice brown Not yellow. That yellow rice is not fried rice. It is just what it is….yellow rice.Also, the couple that works, runs the place are so nice, so sweet, so helpful. Let me stop. I could go on and on about China Sea.Also, the third best thing to me is…..I usually have our food delivered within 15 to 20 minutes.“

“Best Chinese around and the wonton soup is to die for“

“They finished with my order very quickly. The food was a bit dry but not bad at all. I really enjoyed their orange chicken, especially. The prices are very affordable, at least in my opinion. Would definitely recommend, especially if you're in a pinch ?“

“Excellent food wish I could afford to go there all the time“
