4 Piece Chicken Wings
Tamara G.

I don't know how I've lived in Meriden most of my life and haven't tried this place. This is the best Chinese food I have had in CT period. I generally order takeout and the food is always hot when it gets to me, my order is always correct and the people who work there are always very nice over the phone. I ordered the chicken wings with pork fried rice and their egg drop soup. The wings are well seasoned, juicy, big and have amazing flavor. They are always hot (temperature) when I get them and that's the best way to enjoy them. Generally when I order egg drop soup I add some salt to taste. I don't have to do that with them. The soup is well seasoned and flavored as it is. If you're looking for a really solid and delicious Chinese restaurant for lunch or dinner this place should be your go to.

They have made their quart sized boxes smaller, and still charge quart prices.

Picked up my order and it was of course on time. Very tasty food here for fast food Chinese! Big portions, priced well, and nice people! Still wish they accepted credit cards for delivery instead of cash only! I don't understand the reasoning behind this. So now I just pick it up

Chicken and Beef with Broccoli Combination Platter

So good! I also love that they have delivery and you can place the order online! They did not hold back with condiments either.

Dragon Phoenix  Hot & Sour soup and House Special fried rice
Steve T.

"End the Suffering" It's so obvious now why there's never any customers parked in front of the restaurant when I pass by at lunch time. I was rushing back to work at lunch time and pulled in to get something quick and I was the only customer there. As soon as I walked in, I thought about running back out. But I took one for the team to write this review. I was so hesitant to place an order. This place is a dump. The outside is run down and shabby. The inside is disgusting. God only knows what lurks in the kitchen. The dining area has junk everywhere. There was even a bicycle in the corner. One table had half eaten chicken wings and something that resembled soup. They can start by at least cleaning the tables. I kept my order simple. A small hot & sour soup and a small house special fried rice. As I'm writing this review, I'm also praying that I don't get sick. I went as far as a small taste of each, but still worried about getting sick. The hot & sour soup was strangely extra dark. The taste wasn't too bad, but I was so freaked out by the cleanliness of the restaurant or lack there of, I stopped eating it. The fried rice comes with shrimp, pork, and chicken in it. With the few spoonfuls that I had I found the shrimp to be ok, the pork was alright, but the chicken and rice were weird. The rice had a strange beige color to it. Like it had been sitting in the fridge for a long time. The chicken looked fatty and gross. And wouldn't you know it, I bit into what appeared to be a piece of a chicken bone. I wonder if the health dept knows about this place. It needs to be shut down.

YAY! Not one onion. Not one scallion. They listen. I am NEVER disappointed when I order from Dragon Phoenix, no matter what I order. It's perfect. not too jhot, not too sweet, Just right. Never a stray onion, or scallion. The ribs were perfect. The shrimp rolls were perfect. The fried rice was made to order. PERFECTLY. They accepted our credit card over the phone for the delivered order, (not sure why Frank from review dated 12/18 posted they didn't accept his card, they've always accepted ours...) we tip the delivery person. THANK YOU, DRAGON PHOENIX, you NEVER let me down.

I am all in on Lima 32 Peruvian restaurant. Back in January, I noticed the Lima 32 sign in the old…read moreTacos mi Nachos space in Meriden. Something about the sign aesthetic made me think it would be a good place. I Yelp-Searched it, and Lima 32 damn near had a perfect rating based on less than 50 reviews. I'm a Food Blogger. So I try to explore new places and avoid repeating spots I know. I've eaten at Lima 32 three times since January. Lima 32 is a small casual Peruvian spot located in a very small plaza in Meriden. Parking is tough, but they've done a nice job with the aesthetics inside. Lima 32 is also available on DoorDash within a certain area. I've now had the Lomo Saltado, the Arroz Con Marisco and the Chaufa de Pollo. Best Lomo Saltado I've ever had, and I've had a really expensive one at a famous CT spot. It's basically a beef and veggie stir fry. You can see the chef making it with fire in the pan if you have the right seat. The soy and oyster sauce based glaze is good salty. So flavorful and everything is perfectly cooked. Best Arroz Con Marisco I've ever had. It's a saucy Peruvian paella. The sauce (Aji Amarillo) has a well rounded creamy pepper flavor. The seafood, like crab, mussels and shrimp really stand out. I suspect the seafood varies depending on what's available. The Chaufa de Pollo, a Chinese fried rice style dish, was very good too. Huge pieces of chicken. Eat it with the delicious Aji Verde sauce. Is Lima 32 hidden? I don't know. But it sure the hell is a gem. It's must visit. 5 Stars

Just finished a full Philly cheesesteak and it definitely hit the spot. I went with onions,…read morepeppers, cherry peppers, and light mayo--the flavors were spot on. The Highlights: * Proportions: Excellent meat-to-topping ratio. They don't skimp on the steak, which is always the biggest test. * Flavor: The cherry peppers added a great kick that cut through the richness of the meat and mayo perfectly. * Quality: A really solid, hearty sandwich that feels worth the order. One Small Note: The full sub comes as one continuous sandwich. If you're looking to split it or just prefer smaller halves, you'll want to grab a knife or ask them to slice it for you, as mine came uncut. Overall, a great lunch spot if you're craving an authentic-feeling Philly. I'll definitely be back!

Krave Cheesesteaks has had a lot of good buzz from the CT Foodie, Blogger and Instagram Community…read more I was recently able to visit for lunch. I live in the Hartford area, Krave certainly has one of the better cheesesteaks within a reasonable driving distance. The seating area has two person tables. They were both full most of the time I was there. Luckily, one was opening up as my cheesesteak was done and I was able to eat there. They could fit one more 2 person table there, and that seems like a good idea from what I saw. Service was friendly. I ordered a cheesesteak, which automatically comes with onions, Cherry peppers, whiz and American Cheese. I added sweet peppers, mushrooms, Mamba Sauce (described as a sweet hot sauce) and mayo. The steak was obviously fresh. It was maybe cut a bit thicker and coarser than many places. My preference would be a touch thinner. I also could have used a bit more seasoning on the steak itself. I was looking forward to the cherry pepper flavor, but it didn't stand out. I wonder if they misunderstood and substituted the sweet peppers for the cherry peppers instead of including both. The bread was about average for a cheesesteak. I think there's an opportunity to level up there. The other toppings were generally good. I've heard good things about the "salmon steak" and the "shrimp steak". I'll possibly be back to try the shrimp steak at some point. 4.25 Stars
