15 Best Chinese Restaurants near Groton

“My friends and I agreed that this was one of the best experiences we have ever had eating at a Chinese restaurant. The food was amazing - I especially loved the sesame chicken as it was sweet and flavorful, and the fried dumplings which were crunchy and savory. The restaurant also has a great authentic atmosphere, the service is fantastic and the staff is super friendly!
Absolutely the best Chinese food in the upstate New York region!“

“This place is a gem! Super lovely staff, clean, smells amazing inside, nice vibes. Went for lunch and got the sushi special to split with my husband-it was some of the best sushi I’ve had in recent memory. The salmon sashimi was especially amazing. We are visiting from out of town and I’m sad we aren’t staying longer so we can come back here-their menu is extensive and everything looks delicious!“

“This is a very good Chinese place to eat in the area. The food is 95% of the time consistent with quality and taste . The employees are nice and willing to work with you a bit if it’s close to closing time and you want to order still . Overall an amazing place especially being located in a small town where there’s not a whole lot of restaurants . The prices are also very good for the amount of food you get . Go check it out !“

“We tried the Hand-Ripped Noodles (Biang Biang Noodles) with Braised Beef here, and the dish was absolutely delicious! The noodles were super fresh, and we asked for extra spicy — it was perfect 🔥. We also added a soy egg, which was a great choice. My husband and I both loved it so much. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic Xi’an street food!“

“bedt pineapple shrimp and cream white sauce delicious“

“The restaurant appeared clean, service was swift, everyone was kind, and the food was what I was hoping for. It was the least "ketchup-y" sweet and sour chicken we've had since moving to CNY. All of our chicken in both that and the chicken and broccoli was a good texture, too. The lo mein noodles were very large, there were not many veggies in them. Other than that, no complaints! Thank you!“

“Hands down this is the best Chinese in Ithaca and one of the best I've had worldwide. Fresh, bountiful and priced right not to mention superior quality. Wherher visiting Cornell or attending University, this is a must in your rotation of culinary eats“

“The lady who took my order was a delight! She didn't speak a word of English, but she pulled out a handwritten paper menu and asked me to point. She was all smiles, very sweet. After I ordered, she gave me a complimentary cabbage fritter while I waited for my food.

The beef noodle soup was an absolute work of art. The meat was tender and flavorful, the broth was beautifully balanced, and the noodles were delicious. I am eager to return.“

“Great place for delicious Chinese food! Great takeout service too!“

“Does this place look a bit sketchy on the outside? Yep.

Could the soup use a good wallop of salt? Yes.

But... is it acceptable Chinese takeout at a reasonable price in this tiny little town? Also, yes.

For that reason alone, I find myself here probably once a week or more. At least, until Ithaca gets a Panda Express.“

“I tried this place out for the first time, and would definitely go again! They had a decent variety - a section of soups and warm dumplings, a section of exclusively Chinese meats/noodles, another section of more American food, and another section of dessert and sushi. I enjoyed the classic egg drop soup, the salmon, mashed potatoes and gravy, and the stuffed mushrooms and crab rangoons. The workers were friendly and welcoming, and I did not pay much at all. Great value!“

“Have been having food here since before covid. One of my go-to place at Cornell. Ingredients are always fresh and people are really nice! Highly recommend their VIP card! Price is so reasonable:) They also actually listen to your feedbacks and make changes accordingly. They deserve 5 star!“

“THIS IS THE BEST KOREAN RESTAURANT IN ITHACA HANDS DOWN. I love this place so much. The women who works here is also so sweet. The menu is so great and diverse. The food is well spiced and actually spicy!! Please come if you like real Korean or Chinese food. It’s a comfort spot for sure! Jayook Kimchi is my fav dish here.“

“Ordered food through door dash delivery. It seemed as if the Chinese food place itself performed the delivery. The Door Dash app was never updated on when my order was being delivered. However, when the man who delivered my order arrived he called me to come get my order. I told him he could leave it on the porch, but he insisted he would wait for me to come down. It was very considerate because he just didn't want my order to get stolen before i got to it. 10/10 service.

as for wait time, I'd say it took around 30-35 minutes for my order to arrive. I forgot to snap any pics before chowing down lol but I will say all the portion sizes were good and the food was delicious. I ordered pork dumplings, and the noodle was cooked to perfection. It had a very nice texture, and the meat inside was juicy and flavorful. The chicken and broccoli were very good, and so was the chicken lomein. 😼 The crab Rangoons had a really nice flavor, but the filling was strangely thick, not bad, just not what I'm used to. I'd recommend them for sure.“

“Detasty is a great place in collegetown, they have good chinese food but at a bit of a price. Do remember I compare these with Indonesian restaurants which have crazy low prices. Try the chilli fried pork/chicken. The food here actually has spice for spicy food lovers“
