The food is all hand made, and the duck sauce cannot be matched!

You get tons of food for your money.

Go try it today!“

“I will drive the 45 miles from home for these dumplings 🥟!“

“Food is always delicious, piping hot, and extremely flavorful! A great spot in the new north end!“

“The vibes here are so right. The friendly bro that answers the phone and cashes me out whenever I’ve ordered just really makes your day. What great customer service. The food is great too. Just how I like a good take out Chinese experience. These guys are worth tipping!“

“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….)“

“This is the best Chinese food Sheri Senesac and I have ever had. Oh and draft Is only $3.75.👍🏻“

“We had the Goat Vindaloo, Chana Saag, Chicken Coconut curry, and Mango Lassi. Absolutely delicious food, kind service, and easy parking. We can't wait to come back and try even more dishes. We'll probably call ahead and do take out next time. Support Winooski Main street businesses! We want them to stay open during construction!!

Dietary restrictions: Clearly labeled Gluten Free options.“

“Super impressed! We will be back.“

“On a road trip from out of state, googled some options and was recommended Jrs from another restaurant that was reservations only tonight; so very happy that’s how it worked out! We called ahead to make sure they had openings and the girl I talked to was very friendly. Upon arrival though they mentioned they don’t take reservations they had a table for 5 ready for us. Coming from out of state with 3 kids of different ages there were a lot of questions about the menu and our waitress Lexi was patient and kind; speaking with them directly and making sure to answer all questions. Drinks were refilled without asking, extra napkins supplied, she kept an eye out and checked in regularly. The food was fantastic as well, but Lexi was superb!“

“For this area of VT, this is one of the better Chinese restaurants. Anywhere else, with a sizable Chinese population, I’d give it a 2.5-3. But that’s VT…. Don’t even think about getting Mexican food in the area—though that may be changing. Wish the same were true for Chinese.

It’s a shame that A Single Pebble’s original owner isn’t still running the place. They (Single Pebble) used to be very good, roughly 25 years ago (especially when they were in Barre).
Not sure why anyone eats there (single pebble) now. The past few times I tried eating there (single pebble), the food was inedible. So much sodium you couldn’t taste the ingredients; and over-sauced, with snotty, tasteless pools of cornstarch-thickened slime (single pebble).“

“Overall great food. Just not sure when they'll open up again. Been closed almost a month now.“

“great food every time. one of the best places around for good Chinese!“

“Been going here for years and has Always been good, never a single bad experience. The family that owns this place is so nice and the kids are hilarious. Gotten food here for friends and family multiple times and no one has ever complained. I drive out of my way just to go here. General Tsos meal and Beef lo mein are my go tos. Also not to mention they’re like always open. Prices are good as well and portions are big. I can EAT and it either fills me up for half the day or makes two meals.“

“China Garden is our go-to place for Chinese food. Ordering through their website is easy, the food is ready quickly and it all tastes amazing! Parking is convenient, either in front of the store or in the parking lot off the side road, and payment is made through the window at the front- after paying they slide your bag through. The prices just increased (honestly, I thought they would raise them years ago), but are still very reasonable considering the large portions.
We usually get the sweet & sour chicken, crab rangoon, and the special with choice of rice and two sides (steak teriyaki and an eggroll with fried rice.) Delicious every single time!“

“We placed a large order for Doordash delivery this evening. Our group wanted to try a bit of many dishes to satisfy vegetarians, meat eaters, spicy food lovers, bland food lovers and gluten free folks! We ordered over a dozen different dishes and everything was delicious! Some favorites were the vegetable pakora, momos, malai kofta, cauliflower 65 and the chicken tikka masala. The saag paneer was wonderful but we wish it had a bit more cheese. This was our first time trying this location and we’ll be back!“

“5/5 food was tender still hot even after a 20 minute drive full of flavor and the service was excellent top notch atmosphere I felt like I was in China at a Chinese restaurant they were so kind and friendly I felt like I had known them for years and it felt like they were treating me as if I was family“

“Came here for the legendary woman I've heard so much about. I was in the mood for a tongue lashing from an Asian mother, and to my disappointment, she didn't greet me. You see, I have eaten every Asian food in North America and wanted to give her some tips on the nuances of the American palate.

The man on his phone behind the counter eventually acknowledged me, asking what I wanted. When I asked for mom, he said she was busy in the back busy disciplining his brother.

I got pad thai and Kung pao chicken with egg rolls. They were great, but the egg rolls had too much roll.

I asked about the pallets of duck sauce stored in the dining room, but just got a knowing and strange wink.

Would definitely come back.“

“I’ve lived in BTV for a bit. Used to really not like this place. But I moved nearby recently and out of desperation I’ve ordered a few times. Idk if they have new mgmt or what but it’s fire now. I got the beef with oyster sauce. Beef if tender, plenty of veg. Total W. Thanks guys and gals.“

“I am a big fan of Chopsticks House II. They have all the classic American Chinese food favorites like sesame chicken and lo mein. They also have authentic tasting May Fun 米粉, julienne potatoes and ribs. I drive from Shelburne to get my Chinese food there. There are 10 Chinese places closer and I go there if that is saying anything.“

“Food was horrible, 6 empty bins. When we complained they said they were getting ready to close because of weather so they stopped cooking. I asked why we are being charged full price she responded, "You lucky we open" No! you're lucky I paid the bogus bill of 52.00 for lunch for 2. Oh, they now add on 18% gratuity automatically, you have no say about it.“

“I got take out but the environment dining in looked very cute and welcoming. The food was great for takeout and the staff is very nice. We got multiple rolls, wonton soup, sesame noodles, and kung pao chicken. All the dishes were well done!“

“All hole in the wall places are hit or miss. This place was a hit. The atmosphere is fast pace because they catter to delivery services. Based on that the food is hot hot and you will be given a choice to let it cool down or what happens when you don't wait.

It was funny listening to them fighting with each other in the back like when couples get comfortable with having you around.

The eating area is not big so take out is where it's at.

I made it a point to say thank you for hirer then Average food.

The menu may be the same but not quality.

It's worth trying. This is my opinion and how I feel .

The best is what you say is the best“

“Could order everything on the menu and I’d know it would be delicious!“

“Jason gave the best customer experience I’ve had in a very long time. Especially with the extra and special orders I ask for from any Chinese restaurant. When I asked for extra spicy mei fun with extra shrimp, they went above and beyond. This was the best I’ve ever ordered from a Chinese restaurant. It seems like each time gets better and better. I can’t wait for the next order… even though I only order every 3 months or so. 5 stars!!!“
