Fairfield County Connecticut does Not have any mockmeat chinese takeout menu (the closest is New Asia- Hartford Ct which has similar mockmeat takeout offerings as this & is cheaper) so bonus points for just filling a need. Unlike other restaurants, China Harden-Rye had a whole veg/vegan menu (not just 2 lame tofu offerings like most restaurants offer) The mockmeat dishes such as sesame chikn, general tsaos, orange chikn were those fried flat, round nuggets with sauce which is OK for takeout but I can take nuggets & toss with sauce at home. I'm still searching for proper breaded seitan/tofu fried pieces that are big like non-vegan meals. There's no vegan sweet & sour pork or v- walnut shrimp which west coast vegan takeout has. && The menu says vegetarian but they claim it's vegan. Service was excellent as they accomodated my nut allergy by not putting nuts in kungpao chikn & assuring no nut oils in anything. V-beef & broccoli was delish however didnt taste like the meat-based dish & texture was excellent. Was expensive for takeout quality, we ate at the restaurant on plates & the serving size seemed smallish but food was pleasantly hot & crispy. they put relaxing musac on for our dining pleasure too. Will definitely return bc there's no other mockmeat chinese takeout place anywhere near fairfield county.

What a delicious vegetarian, gluten free meal. There are so many option on the appetizer and new vegetarian menu and even items that aren’t labeled as GF can be made gluten free upon request. Very limited seating and the place looks like a cheap fast food joint but the food defied the atmosphere. I will say that they could step up their vegetable game but the fake meats, particularly the GF vegan spare ribs, were phenomenal

My favorite place to get Chinese food in Rye, prices are decent. The soups are really good and so is there orange chicken and pork fried rice! Don't get why they're not a 4.0.

$15 for an order of wings and s shrimp roll. Doesn't make sense me

Love that this place has a separate vegan menu with more than just tofu dishes! Whenever we’ve had to stay in Greenwich, we hop over the state border real quick to get dinner here because it’s the only worthwhile vegan food in the general area!
