The rice has big chucks of pork, not the weird little fatty pieces I've had at other places. They used to deliver years ago but don't any longer. It's ok, I don't mind traveling across town to get it. Totally worth it! They have a few tables but most of their business is take out. Not much to look at, needs to be updated but their food is SO good!

In my most recent orders, chicken chow Mein was tasteless and had no sauce. The Szechuan chicken used to have a nice brown sauce with complex flavor, but this time there was no sauce, it was red and I think the only spice they used was crushed red pepper. And the egg rolls were greasy. To top it off I've spent more time than I like to in the bathroom after eating this. I'll be searching for a new Chinese restaurant because this one has disappointed me too many times.

I cant remember how new or old it is (the subway next door is at least 40 years old). I dont get to this end of Meriden too often but still.... I am happy to have stopped here. They have an American doing orders and deliveries... nice to speak the language! I order the boneless spare ribs at an unknown place, cant go to too wrong right? Well... they were tender, melt in you mouth and actually sweet... my hat is off to their distributor. I have left overs in the fridge. In short, I will be back, maybe trying some of the "Chef's Specialties".

The rice tasted like day old dirty wok water and it had no flavor except old oil that was left lingering on your taste buds. The egg roll was saturated in oil, from what tasted like a week old, with nothing but cabbage and a speck of pork, and the spare ribs tasted a little funny. Will NOT be back

I went for lunch last week and Param Noodle. It was absolutely packed with flavor. The rich creamy peanut sauce made my mouth sing with joy. The flat noodles were cooked perfectly and the chopped peanuts on topped added just the right texture contrast needed for the dish. I added chicken for my protein and the white meat chicken was moist and tender. I was so pleased I went back the next day for lunch with a friend. She order the Pla Rad Prik (spice level 4 peppers), and I ordered the garlic fried rice. She had never been and thoroughly enjoyed the food. This is a place I will continue to visit on a regular basis and introduce to friends. Keep up the great work!

I got a sweet and sour soup, wonton soup, pork dumplings, chicken with veggies, and orange chicken, and it was all under $50. One odd thing was that I got the orange chicken combo, which was supposed to come with veggies, but it only had two pieces of broccoli in it, so that was a miss, but I did like that it had real orange pieces and flavor in it rather than just a syrup poured over it; overall, very happy with the portion size and taste!
