Some observations: -- Wings: Nice glaze but a little overcooked -- Peking Ravioli: Crisp on the bottom, thick dough, overcooked dry interior -- Egg Roll: Solid, overly crisp -- Sweet and Sour Chicken: Gloppy one-note sauce, soggy chicken, taste and texture oddly like a donut -- Beef and Broccoli: Nicely done, broccoli neither over- nor under-cooked -- Kung Pao Chicken: Not spicy, tiny pieces, but generally good flavor and consistency -- Vegetarian/Buddha's Delight: Also nicely done -- Fried Rice: Bland, but good texture -- Egg Foo Yong: Crisp, somewhat cold

We recently picked up the fried chicken dinner for four from Nan's Kitchen, and overall it was a…read moregood meal. The pickup was easy. The location has a few tables but mostly everyone was doing takeout. The star of the show was definitely the fried chicken. It was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. If you're a fried chicken fan, it's easy to see why this is one of their most popular offerings. The biscuits were another standout. Warm, fluffy, and absolutely delicious with the butter and hot honey. I could easily make a meal out of those alone. The sides, however, were a bit disappointing compared to the chicken. They were fine, but nothing particularly memorable. The broccoli was the biggest letdown, as it wasn't cooked enough for my taste and was still quite firm. While the sides could use some improvement, the excellent fried chicken and biscuits make this a meal I'd order again. Next time, I may just choose different sides.

We visited on a very busy night, which is always a good sign. We were lucky to time a seat opening at the bar and we quickly jumped on it. While seated, we could see how busy the bartenders were filling drink orders for both the bar and restaurant patrons. We did not order an appetizer so we jumped right in to drinks and dinner. Our bartender was awesome with follow up and service. Our orders were a hamburger and fries (see pic) and a roasted veggie salad (see pic). We shared some onion rings, as well. My wife got a glass of wine and I had water with a lemon. We did not get a dessert, as the main dish was plenty. Vibe: definitely a happening place in Chelmsford Price: Average Pepsi/Coke: Not sure Parking: Plenty...be sure to check out back of restaurant Service: fantastic! Would I go back?: I would got back....excellent service!

True West never disappoints! We have been going here somewhat regularly for the last decade or so,…read moreand it has always been great! We always get pretzel bites as our appetizer, and are in my opinion one of the best products they make! They are always seasoned so perfectly, and are exactly as crunchy on the outside, and as soft on the inside as pretzel bites should be, and the mustard brings it all together with that kick! The burgers are pretty average most of the time, but their sides are always tend to be great. The sweet potato fries are salted very well, and their flavor is just as good. Their onion rings are also very crispy. That said, the overall experience has declined slightly. The burgers are normally slightly overcooked, and their buns aren't great. It is also worth noting that this is where WiFi signals go to die. The staff and atmosphere are also amazing. Overall, worth a trip if you are in town.

Relaxed, comfy space that's the antithesis of more corporate-feeling outfits with the same target audience. Parking can be tough at times, but there are free spaces on the street and in the lot to its right that also includes underground spaces. -- Buffalo Wings: Offered in 1- and 2-pound portions, with a steep price for the 1-pound and a steep drop in per-pound price for the 2-pound. My small order had 8 pieces with a very thin coating of Buffalo-ish sauce-- not as spicy or as vinegary, but reasonably piquant and tangy. Not much crisp, but extremely plump and juicy chicken meat underneath. So a mixed bag of flavor and texture, but overall, good. -- True West Burger: Sort of a thick burger, sort of a brioche bun (closer to a better, fresher McDonald's), with vegetation significant part of it. Choice of cheese. Cooked to my requested medium rare, yielding juices. Overall, good burger for its class, though for $22, maybe it should be compared with classier ones. -- Fries (included with the burger): Frozen, somewhat artificial tasting, and a coating of some sort that held in the heavy dose of salt (like pretzel sticks), as if salted even before frying. -- Beers: Plenty of styles and plenty within each style to choose from. I really enjoyed my peachy Pit and Peel New England IPA and liked the Ruckus as well. Service was outstanding. My server Mariana was outgoing, very familiar with both the food and drink offerings, and checked back often. This was probably the determining factor for this tossup between 3 and 4 stars getting nudged to the 4. If it were an option, more of a 3.5. And if you're similarly torn, having some of the best ice cream in the state a few doors down afterward at Westside Creamery might tip the scale for you (literally and figuratively).

And the bone marrow was done perfectly with three toast points for stopping up all that delicious marrow. Definitely coming back!

When I was living in Boston during my college years, there was a Chinese/Japanese fusion restaurant…read morenext door that stayed open until 3:00AM. I ate there once or twice a week (sorry waistline) and I fell in love with a dish - Honey Walnut Shrimp. I have been unable to find a restaurant that sells a comparable one, but Taka Asian Cuisine in Littleton comes pretty close. Located in the open-air, mixed shopping and entertainment center called The Point is this Asian Fusion restaurant sitting among many other options. The spots directly in front are almost always filled up so you're going to need to park in the larger Market Basket lot about 50 steps further away. The restaurant has an upscale vibe to it and there's an option between Hibachi and Dining. Of the few times I've been here I've only ever done dining. Dark and moody is how I would describe it here thanks to the dark leather booths and dark wooden tables. The red-lattice accent walls give a punch of color - this place is definitely meant for dining in and not just for takeout. Our wait staff were excellent. I was never without water for more than a moment. They did not bother us until we were deep into eating our food. And they accommodated extra requests with no hesitation. Beef Skewers ; these were delicious. they're almost as incredible as the ones sold by my local Chinese restaurant. great sweet teriyaki flavor and the accompanying sauce made it even better. Very recommended. Mein Fun w/ Beef ; I'm always sold if I see a noodle dish on the menu that uses rice noodles instead of udon or egg noodles. It has a nice balance of cabbage, onion, carrots and green onions, and eggs spread throughout making the dish a delight to eat from beginning to end. Crispy Walnut Shrimp ; this is my star of the show and it is so good. the shrimps they use are satisfying large and plump. the light batter on the shrimp were neither soggy nor too thick. the sauce was just the right amount of sweetness without being nauseating, and the broccoli had great crunchy snaps to them. my cravings were totally met by this. I had a solid experience here with delicious food all-around. I should try to swing by more often to get a feel for the rest of the menu.

It wasn't busy inside so the vibes were a little down but it's ok. There were multiple stations but everyone was leaving as we walked in, so we had the whole room to ourselves. You choose a protein and then it comes with soup, salad, two shrimp, and either fried or white rice. I chose steak and my boyfriend got the chicken. He loved the soup and I liked the salad dressing. Our chef was talented and gave us a good show. He had cool tricks and was interactive. He even made our rice into a little heart for us. The food was tasty, the fried rice was my favorite. Plus my steak was cooked well. My boyfriend liked his chicken too and vegetables. It was cool to see the food being made, and the portions were huge--I had leftovers. We then headed to the bar where we gathered with some locals to watch the world cup game, the energy was really fun in here and bartender was nice. I hope this place gets busy because the food is good and they have a large space. It's located in a plaza so plenty of parking and not too far from Kimball Farms.
