Picnic Garden is one of the few retailers that has survived in the City Station complex, being open…read morealmost 3 years at this point. Are they going to survive? Who knows, but being the closest takeout to a couple hundred college students certainly helps. I have tried Picnic Garden on multiple occasions: once for the lunch buffet and for takeout the other times. The lunch buffet I had was mediocre, average for generic American Chinese restaurants with a small selection. The takeout was absolutely abysmal each time. The food was flavorless and the Szechuan dishes I ordered had no spice. What a shame. I live close enough to this place and prices are so low that I would be a frequent customer if it were at least average, but it's some of the worst Chinese food I have had in this country. I give this place another chance every few months only to be disappointed. I considered giving a second star because of the good prices, but you're better off buying (cheaper) food from the warmer at the nearby Stewart's.

Very inventive menu with some great sandwich options, salads, side veggies, and more. We struggled on what to get because everything looked tasty. The guy taking orders/running the register gave us great suggestions and knew the menu well. We went with a burger, fish sandwich, chicken Milanese sandwich and chilled long bean salad. We all traded bites and everything was excellent. My chicken was thin and crispy and still juicy on a perfect sesame seed bun with arugula and aioli - squeeze of lemon on top and we're good to go! Burger was juicy, and flavorful and the blackened fish was most delicious. The long beans slayed in an Asian type dressing with some Chiles in it - just the right amount of spice. Great selection of beer and wine plus tasty n/a drinks too. The pie slices sounded great but we couldn't pass up on the soft serve. Current flavors were corn and brown butter caramel. We got a swirl of both and inhaled it. Well worth a visit!

I apologize to every Asian cuisine in Amherst, including the now defunct Arigato Sushi, because…read moreFormosa Chinese, formerly Amherst Chinese, still provides service and food that are incredible and deserve state-wide recognition. Formosa has an affordable lunch menu, and even on busy days has delivered my meal within ten minutes. Don't be astounded yet, because I would easily wait twenty minutes for this food. When their food arrives from the delicious variety of their lunch specials, you will be treated to crispy tofu, a nuanced spice for chili or jalapeño meals, or fresh vegetables that will make you wonder: who is introducing you to the best cuisine that southeast Asia has to offer? Sichuan meals, Mandarin meals, and even with a Miso soup that is vibrant and delicate in flavor, you may not have any difficulty in deciding at all because any meal you choose will be cooked with what tastes like generations of expertise, love, and wisdom. It is not possible to follow a recipe, or a video, or a shopping trip and recreate the food at the level of Formosa, nor at the price of Formosa, and I say this after years of enjoying their meals. If you are in the area and you are hungry, you will want to visit Formosa as it is an unbelievably satisfying trip for almost any person in the continental USA, and likely for international travelers from near and far. Please tip your staff generously and leave a review to share this love--there is no amount of business they can do that will do the history and delight in their food justice. Their food is accessible to the local public, and they also donate to local causes as well. Amherst has more than universities that educate people here, they have restaurants with generations of stories and wisdom in every meal. You'll be amazed at the silky luxury their hot and sour soup is, with a texture matching the fresh micro mushrooms inside. Be prepared and humble, the staff are dedicated, responsible, and attentive to the public as much as they can. I would love to read a book about the story of this restaurant some day.

I had made up my mind on making this my first review for 2025. However, my unplanned travel across…read morea few countries and continents caused delays. My aunt wanted me to take her to a Thai restaurant that I had taken her once in Latham NY. I told her I've found a better spot, let's go and there we were. This time we ordered a couple of items from The specials menu which included khao soi and wings to go with cherry chicken, padhai and butterfly shrimp. I would probably say this is my new go to thai spot In the capital region. They have amazing deals on the lunch specials and the food tasted better than the deals. Few tips, you can never see the specials board, but it's near the cash register. Service may be a little slower when it gets busy as there's only one person that's managing upfront. I have been satisfied with the food, service and ambience.

We were there for lunch on a weekend and it was not busy at all. Looks to be a family run business. Service was good with only the lady and her daughter working the front. We ordered the Thai tea and it was a bit too sweet. The Tom Yum noodle soup was good but also a bit on the sweet side compared to what I've had in other restaurants. But I do like it though. Tastes more like the Vietnamese version. The chicken curry puffs were good with the sweet and sour dipping sauce. Though a bit pricey with only 3 puffs for $8. Also curry flavor could have been a bit stronger. We will have to go back to try more off their menu. We would have liked to order the Mango and sticky rice dessert too but we were too full this time.

The food is phenomenal, my go-to is panang curry with salmon, crusty crab and an espresso martini. However, if your first time trying my tried and true recommendation is Sadudee chicken and you had me at hello or butterfly pea tea (NA) For dessert, you can not go wrong. Fried ice cream is probably my most ordered, but my very close second favorite is mango sticky rice with a small side of ice cream. The plants, soft lighting and music make for a relaxing experience. Keep an eye out for amazing specials!!

As I looked around, I noticed straight away how clean the establishment was and how you could look right into the kitchen. Definitely off to a great start! I ordered the chicken satay and vegetarian spring roll appetizers and it was delish! Next, the beef pad thai, the pad see ew noodles dish combo that had pork beef and shrimp as well as the tom yum noodle soup with seafood and it was all very good! To finish off, I decided to try the seasonal mango with sticky rice. It was definitely something different and in my opinion an acquired taste. I personally did not like the mouth feel of warm sticky rice and it was definitely unexpected. Sadly the fresh mango was somewhat stringy and also not as sweet as I'd hoped. Still, all in all a delicious experience and I will be back to try other dishes. So glad I stumbled upon Celadon Thai!

Many people get take out from here which I will admit, we have done twice but we really enjoy dining in at the restaurant because it's fun. The staff is really nice and extremely helpful. When we say vegan they know what we mean which is difficult sometimes because a lot of people have misconceptions about what that entails. You have to think about what ingredients the noodles were made with, do they contain egg or not. What sauces are traditionally used, is it a fish sauce? Is something cooked with butter? So just saying no meat, eggs, or dairy doesn't always make people think about everything but this restaurant gets it. Also people ask well what about gluten? It has nothing to do with being vegan it is related to having celiac disease. Bottom line, if you have food allergies or sensitivities, they know what is in their food and they will tell you or offer suggestions to help you out. The spring rolls, the gyoza, the crazy noodle (drunken noodle), curry rice, fresh rolls, all of it has been good everytime we go. This review is long overdue, Tamarind is just so good if you need vegan or vegetarian options they have a lot of plant-based menu items. The unsweetened iced tea, that's my jam! Love it!
