Attention Peter & Lisa Chang - in the interest of giving you some solid feedback to improve, please feel free to reach out and happy to chat with you about the total experience for the party of 4 adults and 2 children that I had if you have further qeustions.
Arrival - they showed us to a booth that added a small table that made for clearly an awkward experience as the hostess was aware and said she tried to text me (which i never received as i showed her). small issue, but nothing major that we weren't willing to wait 10 minutes for until a larger table cleared to make for a better dining experience.
Music - the choice of music was interesting to say the least. There was electronic/EDM music being played at about 50% higher than it should have been making it the focus and less ambiance and prohibitively hard to hear the conversation at the table.
The food - the dishes while having flavor were probitively salty. some more than others especially the cauliflower dish we order.
That one dish we had a few bites of and upon the waitress's second visit to our table, i kindly told her the issue and she took it back and was quick to say she would remove it from the bill. After removing it FROM the table, she came back and said she would give 50% off after talking to the manager. So, mind you, we didn't enjoy the dish, ordered plenty of other food and then said to take it off and then to come back and say they were going to charge us 50% was pretty comical :) I spoke to the manager and said it's not about the marginal $10, but about the principle. After such an experience and food, i would have just disputed the whole charge with my credit card company.
in any case, after a short conversation, he agreed to take it off - just was amazed i had to have the conversation in the first place.
I realize we're in a culture where business owners are under strains, but to force 20% gratuity on a party of 4 adults and 2 kids is a stretch and i found this to be a bit much for service that was mediocre. I concede times have changed, but I think for a restaurnt in downtown stamord, there's opportuntiies to improve and i strongly recommend having a sit down with the GM regarding this and speaking to him on best practices around these situations.

Really great authentic chinese food in a solid but no nonsense interior. My friends who grew up in China all go here & told us about it, I've been going for years. Double Cooked Pork Belly & Pepper Chicken dishes are favorites, and kids love the bubble pancake w curry sauce. Really a gem in the area and not expensive for a group.

Is a charming restaurant located within the Stamford town center mall.
We were served by Margarita who was an excellent hostess; very kind, charming, and attentive. One of the best servers I have had in many years. thank you Margarita for an amazing experience.

Pleasantly surprised! I don’t know what all these other reviews are talking about, the food was actually really good. I’ll admit I was skeptical at first but it ended up being gas. Although the atmosphere was alright (interesting music choice), the food is extremely flavorful, savory and spicy. My new spot. Try the noodles and chili wantons, so good.

Pork fried rice was bland. It lacked normal ingredients like onion, peas, etc. very disappointing.

Warning: for those who can’t eat MSG, be careful. I paid my price. Review came a day late because I was sick. I react to MSG pretty bad, almost like before I can finish my meal… I got upset stomach immediately and that didn’t go away until 12 hours later.
1) menu: for those who really expect to have real Chinese, you can turn around already. There is no more real Chinese dish here. Owner and menu has changed 2 years ago. Don’t come here based on old reviews
2) Food: none of the four dishes I ordered were cooked right. Missing significant ingredients or steps. Dan Dan Noodle was using the wrong type of noodle. Pork belly smells wrong and they obviously didn’t season it and then fry before the stew, the sauce tastes thin and off too. The fish and chongqing chicken basically used same cooking ingredients and tastes no difference, and the amount of MSG they put in is insane… which caused me sick immediately.
Please please please, if you use MSG, please note it CLEARLY on the menu coz there are people who can’t eat this!!!!

Used to be very good. Been going there for years. But the last 2 times, we were disappointed our favorite dishes are no longer offered. Tried other dishes = AVERAGE.
Great authentic Chinese food! Good service. A little pricey. Best Chinese in Connecticut and I am Chinese myself.

I’ve been coming here for a while and ordering the Bamboo Flounder Fish pretty regularly, usually 2-3 times a month. I love it, but I’ve noticed lately that there’s way more breading than fish. It feels like I’m eating mostly breading now—like 92% breading, 8% fish. I was really disappointed with my order today and just wanted to mention it. I hope it’s something that can be looked into.
Extremely friendly service, delicious food!
