Chopsticks - Stamford

3.5 stars, as there are items that I would come back for…read more On my mission to try every Chinese restaurant in Stamford, this was one spot I hadn't gotten around to yet. I'm glad I placed my order online ahead of time because it was pretty busy when I arrived for pickup. Overall, I'd say this place is decent, but not one of my favorites. Here's what we ordered: - Beef Mei Fun - I actually meant to order the Beef Chow Fun, but it turned out to be a happy accident. I was worried the mei fun would be dry and bland, but it had good flavor, and my kids really enjoyed it. - Beef with String Beans - I was expecting more of a dry stir-fry, but it came in a brown sauce instead. It just wasn't my preference. - Bean Curd with Garlic Sauce - I wasn't sure what to expect since there wasn't much of a description on the menu. It also came in a brown sauce, and I honestly couldn't taste much garlic, so the name was a little misleading. - Plain Chicken Wings - Definitely the standout of the meal. Crispy, flavorful, and something I'd order again. - BBQ Ribs - They were okay. Nothing particularly memorable, but not bad either. Overall, the food was solid, and the pickup process was smooth despite how busy they were. While I don't think this will become my go-to Chinese spot in Stamford, there were a few dishes that made the visit worthwhile.

I'm happy to find a Chinese take out that still have great quality like this one…read more Don't miss the fried Chicken wings here, it's crispy outside juicy inside and good size. General tso Chicken & shrimp broccoli are good, although the sauce taste slightly different but still very close to what you find in traditional Chinese restaurant 20 years ago. Food are fresh and very nice people. Spacious with restroom, good place to go as an alternate choice to Indian restaurant next door. Both are my favorite now.

Service was quick, but the best part was that their portions are huge! We indulged as much as we could but still were unable to finish any of the dishes. I ordered the Basil Chicken Szechuan style and it was very flavorful. Some colleagues order the Mountain chicken, which was like a dried version of kung pao chicken, again a bit sweet yet flavorful. The prices are reasonable given the size of the dishes, so if you are in the mood for Chinese food and are very hungry, this is the place to go!

The restaurant is pretty nice, and looks quite modern. The menu is very similar to their other locations, they serve Szechuan Chinese food. I usually get the same things, a protein such as fish, chicken, or pork, tossed with Szechuan spices and peppers. The food is delicious, though most of the items I order taste very similar. Prices are fair, definitely worth stopping if you're in the area and enjoy spicy Chinese food.

Service: Parking: Ambiance: Food: Menu: Value: Great--$$ with huge portions The menu is cleverly divided into thirds: New York-style Chinese food, Traditional Chinese food, and Japanese dishes (including an authentic sushi chef). The food was fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and plentiful. Portions were so large we had to take a ton home, which means another full meal tomorrow.

Food was so-so and I think it's because of what I ordered that left me underwhelmed. It was a party of four. One ordered a speciality roll a salad and the spare rub appetizer. The salad is a green salad with ginger dressing. Standard fine. I tried one of the ribs it was fine meaty a little bland compared to others I've had. My appetizer was the yellowtail with jalapeño. - I didn't care for it. My entree was the whole crispy fish. I was looking forward to it my friend said her husband had it and loved. It came out and I was disappointed. I don't recall it saying on the menu that a sauce covered it. I wouldn't have ordered it or requested it on the side. It was a thick sweet sauce so parts of the skin took on a shellac texture. The inside flesh itself was bland so the dipping in the sauce helped but again underwhelming. Even if I had wanted it with sauce it was way to much sauce for the dish. The others in my party enjoyed their entrees I tried the Moo shoo pork which was decent. The tempura was fried perfectly not oily

The food here is delicious, generous, with excellent service, and the prices are reasonable, with a very cozy, clean, and exceptionally well decorated dining room. They also have a small bar so not really a mingle spot but they do an outstanding job with their cocktails, including asian/tiki cocktails in appropriate glassware. They even have decent parking unlike Open Rice whose lot is madness. I have not a single complaint about this place wish I had known about it sooner.

Food is consistently good, particularly all the specialty rolls and regular sushi rolls. Sesame chicken is still best in town, only now it lacks the sauce (need to see if there is an option to ask for more). Beef and broccoli is amazing, just outright delicious. The only thing I wouldn't recommend (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is Thai food. Pad Thai is just mediocre. I got Tom Yum soup yesterday and it was insanely sour but lacked any other flavor, so I can't really recommend Thai food there. But for Japanese and Chinese portion of the menu it is definitely 5 stars and highly recommended.

This time they were not busy, and when I picked up the order they said it was "perfect timing" and just ready. Unfortunately, when I got home the fried rice was undercooked, the food was cold, and despite specifically asking for it to be mild/not spicy, the General Tso's chicken was extremely spicy. I can deal with warming food back up, but undercooked rice and food that is far spicier than requested are much harder to fix. I guess I could have brought it back or called, but honestly I just didn't want to spend more time and energy dealing with it. I understand every restaurant can have an off night, but this was disappointing enough that I probably won't risk ordering it again.

The restaurant itself is always clean and well-maintained--they've got a nice, modern decor with dark wood and soft lighting that gives off a great evening vibe if you're dining in. That said, we usually pick up our orders ourselves these days. During the pandemic, we used to rely on Uber Eats, but we got hit with too many random surcharges and delivery fees that inflated the bill by nearly 35%. Since we're less than a mile away, it just didn't make sense anymore. Plus, the kitchen is fast; food preparation usually only takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Parking Pro-Tip: If you're picking up, parking right on Bedford Street is tricky and almost always crowded with delivery vehicles. Do yourself a favor: park in the Bedford Street public lot behind the CVS on Forest Street. There's a super convenient pedestrian passageway that cuts right through and pops you out directly onto Bedford next to Tigin Irish Pub. It saves a ton of frustration. The Food: While they have a Japanese menu, the only thing we've actually tried from it is the house salad (which is always fresh). We tend to stick to what we know is great, which is their Chinese menu. Our standard rotation never misses: * Pork Egg Rolls and a quart of Wonton Soup (great starters). * Chicken Lo Mein and Chicken with Broccoli (classic, solid execution). * Spicy Basil Chicken (has a nice kick to it). * Pan-fried Noodles with Seafood Special (definitely a favorite). Ordering Tip: If you want pork fried rice, don't buy a standalone order. Instead, upgrade the white or brown rice that already comes with your entree. You'll save yourself a couple of dollars that way. Solid food, quick turnaround, and consistent quality. Definitely recommend if you're in the neighborhood.
