This restaurant has been our favorite for 20 years! We go several times a year and have never, ever had a bad experience. The staff is so knowledgeable and top notch. The food is superb (especially the sesame chicken dumplings and dry fried green beans…..and the cauliflower….and the lemon shrimp…..and if there’s any fish specials….)

We had the tangerine chicken, chicken pad Thai, potato dumplings & veggie dumplings in chili oil! Everything was very good - huge portions meant for more than one person. Everything comes to you on a lazy Susan type of thing and things just come out as they’re ready. Very fresh!
Staff was attentive and helpful, very friendly.
The turtle cheesecake is a must!
Just a note for fellow wheelchair users - call in advance and ask for a table on the first floor, there are only a few down there and they fill up! The other two sections of the restaurant are only accessible by stairs.
Great dinner and a nice night!!

Four of us enjoyed the Chef's tasting menu (carnivorous version) last weekend - it was fantastic! And removed the challenge of picking options off of the menu ourselves and leaving that to the chef! Our table was ready and waiting for us when we arrived, and the staff all were very attentive and very friendly. A Single Pebble is still one of the best restaurants in town, IMO.

First, I was told I had to make a reservation to get a table, so I did. I expected a busy restaurant but that was not the case. There were a few tables with people at them and people at the bar eating.
The food was ok but not for the price. It was expensive given the quality. The mock eel was incredibly salty. The Emperors Beef was a good, but not $44 good. My partner had scallion pancakes with I liked but her Three cup chicken was not super flavorful. Bland is not the right word; you just expect that a $38 chicken dish to have more flavor.
I wont bother going back. I had heard great things about this place prior to this trip but after talking to other it appears that it jumped the shark a while ago. It is unfortunate because authentic Chinese food is hard to find in Vermont.

I was there 20 years ago and I remembered the mock eel. It was still amazing, even better than before. I don't know how they get mushrooms to taste that good. We also got shrimp lo mein and double garlic broccoli with cashews and for extra protein they added tofu for me. Everything was outstanding. Seriously, one of the best meals I've ever had (and I'm a tough critic). Our server (Cal?) was knowledgeable and personable and attentive. They were able to accommodate my gluten and dairy free restrictions without any fuss at all. We live in NY, but if we're back in Burlington, we will come back without question.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free clearly marked. Some accommodations can be made. Everything except dessert is dairy free.

It was a special occasion and we ordered the 9 course sampling menu. Quite frankly there were too many delicious options. It was phenomenal; and way too much delicious food. Loved the lazy susan turntable at the table’s center which facilitated sharing. The service was excellent and the ambiance was way above average. NOT your average Chinese food. The prices are a bit high, but are commensurate with the food quality and dining experience. It was a memorable meal.

Went with my family of 6. Had an amazing dinner here! HIGHLY recommend the Chefs tasting menu. It absolutely does not disappoint. So much flavor from each dish. Big portions. They give the perfect portions for the amount of people you have. Great service. When in Burly, make it a point to eat here

I get kind of the small town, “We just built an interstate offramp that brings tourists and money to our town” kind of vibe.
You can just feel that there is an undercurrent of resentment that locals who run these businesses feel towards rich tourists from Jersey and New York.
The name just sounds like somebody’s lame attempt at being profound, but not quite getting there.
Aside from that the foods pretty good, the atmosphere is nice, Very good food and restaurant overall. Would totally recommend.

We had heard great things & saw the reviews. The two of us arrived 5:15pm. Not crowded, ordered 3 dishes: 1- main thicken 2-main fried rice 3-side of broccoli. We were told the dishes as they’re prepared, hot from the wok. Ok. Broccoli came out first. Very tasty. RICE arrived 15 MINUTES LATER, no joke. The remaining broccoli was then cold. Hoped the chicken would come out sooner, to eat WITH THE RICE, but no! Chicken arrived ANOTHER 15-20 minutes later, while rice was cold. Not fun & not doing it again. Who eats like this?
Good food if you like to eat one plate at a time.

We did the chefs tasting menu and although each dish was somewhat small it was all very delicious and we left feeling full and satisfied. I would definitely go there again and recommend to others but skip on the tasting menu as it was $200 for two people. It is definitely a fun and unique experience and I have no regrets.
