Food very mediocre. Better places in town if you seek them out. It is convenient though if shopping nearby.

The rice and broccoli flavor was ok, but basically all the beef was brown colored fat!! Very disappointed.

Firstly, this restaurant has the most authentic Sichuan food in the Storrs/Willimantic area. If you…read moredon't believe me, look at the sheer number of Chinese international students who come to this restaurant on the daily. They have a "Chinese American" menu and a more authentic Sichuan menu. Absolutely everything I have ever tried of the Sichuan menu has been incredible. I can't say the same about the "Chinese American" menu, but their ACTUAL authentic food makes up for it. Besides the incredible food, the service is so quick and the people are incredibly friendly. I believe she may be the owner, but the lady who is at the front counter, seating people and ringing out To-Go orders is so personable and friendly. She always has a smile on her face, and remembers me each time I come in, even though I don't come in that often. She asks me about my life and school, how my classes are going. She really goes above and beyond to make her customers feel comfortable. If you look at the other "Chinese" restaurant on UConn's campus, you will not see nearly as many international students there. I can't think of a clearer indicator of the authenticity and quality of the food.

I will always swing by Changs and order from the Szechuan menu when I have a chance, it always…read morereminds me of the time I spent in China and the flavors are the best I've had since coming back to America.

This is my absolute favorite sushi restaurant in Connecticut! Their food is so good, whether you…read moreopt for sushi or Chinese, you won't walk away disappointed. Their gyoza tastes homemade and the dipping sauce is so good that I want to drink it. I always order sushi when I dine here. Spicy tuna roll and the James Bond specialty roll are my go-to's. Hubby usually orders the chicken teriyaki. They make the best teriyaki this side of the river. The service here is fantastic. Jenny is the sweetest and she never forgets a face. We love her!

Oriental Cafe has really nailed it the last couple of times I've gone…read more Earlier this year, I went here for dine in. It was a holiday weekend and we were the only ones dining in, but takeout orders were booming and our waitress (a very friendly and welcoming short Asian woman) was doing an amazing job checking in on us, and running over to the takeout area constantly to give people orders. On that day, I really enjoyed my Miso Soup (a perfect small portion to warm me up) and Teriyaki Tofu, although it came with a ton of onions that I did not care for. It came out sizzling hot and seemed to continue to cook after it was on my table, so the onion flavor became really strong and almost gave me a headache, but I ate around it. The veggies were fresh and the tofu had a great crispy breading on it. The sauce was very thick and a little went a long way - I almost wish it were a little thinner so it could spread more evenly across my food to give it some moisture. Today I ordered takeout online through the Seamless site. It said food would be ready in 10-15 minutes, which felt crazy fast. Lo and behold, about 12 minutes after I placed my order, I got a text that it was already ready for pickup! I couldn't grab it until well over 20 minutes had gone by, and even by the time I got home, everything was still perfectly hot and nothing had to be reheated. A young man gave me my order and I was in and out of the plaza in 60 seconds or less, so efficient and no wait! I tried the Teriyaki Tofu again today because I really did love it, but keep forgetting to ask for no onions. I also got the Peanut Avocado Maki Roll with Spicy Mayo - I've never seen this combo for sushi and had to try it! The seaweed had a really strong flavor that surprisingly overpowered the peanuts, how odd. I almost wish this came with some sort of peanut sauce to really double down on the flavor! It was good and fresh but a little less exciting than I thought it'd be. Their menu has a wide range of both Chinese and Japanese dishes. There's plenty of parking in the shared lot, and you have to go down some steps to the bottom floor of the plaza. The steps are a little tilted, so watch out. I'm not sure if there is a mobility impaired accessible way to access this floor. Prices seem reasonable and takeout was very fast. I'll be back!

We had just done some chores in Willimantic and were looking for a place to have some lunch and…read morethought we'd check this really unassuming place. We ordered a salad with ginger and sesame dressing, Tom Yum soup which was delicious and authentic, veg tempura, some eggplant which came with rice. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and the service as well, which was good. Although a very modest although seemingly haphazard interior layout, the choice and quality of their food was just great. We need more of these types of food places in our area serving up a variety of food choices.

Its offerings encompassed sushi and Thai dishes in addition to Chinese-American but they were executed well and tasted good. No cloying MSG or overly flavored with soy sauce. I had a Thai ginger chicken dish (pad khing) which was flavorful and ginger-forward (which I liked) garnished with whole sprigs of fresh cilantro. My daughter had a chirashi and she said the fish (tuna, sea bass, yellowtail, and salmon) was good and fresh. My wife had a Thai sweet basil vegetable dish (pad ba gai pow) which was nicely spicy and tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. A good place for a meal.
