Sesame Chicken combo with fried rice and egg roll
David N.

Stopped in and ordered two combo meals for takeout on a Sunday night. Place was clean and staff very friendly. Both meals came out quickly, flavors were well done, and chicken was really tender. Portions were also a good size. Nice spot for New York style Chinese takeout in Vermont.

House special fried rice, mala beef, pupu platter and hot and sour soup
Lily F.

Nancy H. said it perfectly. This is a decent Americanized Chinese food. I've had many places way better but even more way worst. My boyfriend and I ordered the House Special Fried Rice, Hot and Sour Soup, Mala Beef and the Pu-Pu platter. The soup was actually a little sour which I appreciated but had too much corn starch. The fried rice had lots of meat (chicken and shrimp mostly) but lacked any real flavor than tons of soy sauce. I would say the beef in the mala dish was really tender and the vegetables were actually all really crisp and fresh and was probably my favorite out of everything we ordered. The pu-pu platter was what to be expected. It was lots of fried things that all tasted exactly the same. The egg roll was still a bit under and we could taste the raw dough. The ribs were dried and both the fried chicken and the sweet and sour chicken was so bready that I didn't eat more than a bit out of each one. But, the crab rangoons were okay. This place met my expectations of a small town quick Chinese takeout.

Located next to the old car wash is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area!!!

this is not only the only Chinese place in Ludlow, but one of the very few restaurants that I love to order from consistently. The food is always outstanding. The staff is friendly and will do whatever they can to accommodate you if possible. This is one of the restaurants I recommend of my friends that visit the area.

General tso special combo $9.18

Might just be how VT does Chinese food but not good at all. Rice was weirdly think. Chicken had so much batter it was like a corn dog.

An unexpected pleasure for lunch today. Stopped in for the first time while visiting from out of…read morestate. My guess is that the chef trained in NY. The first clue was the Cold Sesame Noodles appetizer that we tried. A generous portion and as close as I have had, to Chinatown taste. The hot and sour soup was served cold and had to be sent back to the kitchen to be heated, but once it was hot it was as good a soup as I have had. Egg rolls were crispy and crunchy and we all enjoyed them but the Duck Sauce was very watery. That could be improved. We had shrimp with lobster sauce which couldn't have been any better. Wonderful flavor and huge fresh shrimp. The boneless ribs were the star of the show. Big meaty chunks of pork rib piled high on the plate. Every table around us ordered them. Sweet and charred crispy, they are a must have! The fried rice was NY style with bits of pork and a hint of vegetables mixed in. I would have given Joy Wah 5 stars for the food but our waiter was just a little bit below par. We ordered several dishes to share but never were offered plates to share with. When we asked for to go boxes he bought us boxes too small for amounts of food on our plates. And he had his face in his phone the entire time we were there. If he paid more attention this would have been a 5 star review.

While a lovely location and a pleasant decor make for a pleasant experience, and the service is…read morealways efficient and friendly, the food has taken quite a down-turn in recent years. My family and I have eaten here for more than twenty years, since the Han family owned it. They ran it as though their customers were members of their own family. The food was always top-notch back then. More recently, the meat dishes tend to be tough and nearly indistinguishable from one another. Cold "sesame" noodles are slopped with peanut butter, no hint of sesame. We keep going back, keep trying to give them another chance...this latest take-out experience was the last straw. My husband ordered his usual favorite, orange beef, and was pretty disappointed in the tough and gristly meat. He ate perhaps three pieces, then put the rest in the fridge since it was so late in the evening. Next day, he called to discuss with the owner; she offered to return the entire cost of the WHOLE meal if he would bring down the remainder of the meal that he didn't finish. He told her he eaten a few pieces and said all he wanted was the cost of his one dish reimbursed as a credit, and we would dine in next time. He made the 20-minute drive down to return the remainder of the meal in question; she looked in the container and clucked her tongue at him and said he had eaten most of it, she would not reimburse anything. Utterly humiliating way to treat lifelong customers. We're done.
