    Came here on a Saturday at around 2pm. Besides the cute koi pond by the entrance the dining area was pretty dark, so reading a real book might be hard. All the normal staples were there, General Tso's & other chicken dishes, pepper steak, fried shrimp and those red boneless pork spare ribs but I am a huge fan of dumplings in general and they had them (not every buffet does). They had 2 kinds of wings, bbq and fried for folks into that. For seafood, beyond the shrimp & imitation crab dishes, other than calamari, and the shellfish in the cold bar I didn't notice or pay attention to any other seafood like crab legs or anything. Sushi is made to order, which honestly was pretty cool; guarantees you get what you want and is fresher than leaving them out all the time. I was slightly confused on the "custom orders cost extra" poster so I just got a couple salmon rolls which were pretty good. There didn't seem to be nigiri option but I was too hungry and didn't bother to investigate (I should do so the next time I'm here!). The grill was closed, maybe a dinner-only option or food prices are just too high now to have it? They were using the grill to fry their dumplings, which looked handmade. For vegetable options, they were few; the usual string beans, broccoli and the cheesy spinach were there. Plastic spoons used for soup and that felt wasteful.

    Disgusting Bathrooms, my chicken is as yellow, there was hair in my garlic bread. Teacher Screaming

The dumplings were good, but honestly, the sauce was the star of the show. It was so flavorful and really brought everything together. I also liked the color-coded system they use to show which filling is which. It made the ordering process easy and helpful. This place is definitely great for takeout. You can call in your order or order in store, and the wait was not long. There is not a lot of seating, and I would not describe it as intimate, but it does have a homey feel. The owner came out, spoke to us, and served us, which made the experience feel personal. Overall, I was really happy to find a place with gluten-free dumplings, and I would definitely go back.

The chicken and corn dumplings are the best, but the beef and cabbage dumplings are also very munchable. Other good things to chomp down are their deep-fried eggplant chunks, which is unhelpfully listed as "eggplant box" on their online takeout menu. I ordered it not knowing what kind of eggplant dish I'd get. Happily, the box contained something tasty and eggplant-y when I opened it. Their noodle dishes are simple but good. The lo mein chicken noodles I ordered had a good texture and flavor. Being gluten-free didn't take away from the taste at all. In fact, I couldn't really tell the difference. It's not necessary for me to eat gluten-free, but it's nice that Gold Dumpling offers a good option for those that must.

    Consistent, flavorful, and good portion sizes. Went for lunch and the service was pretty quick,…read morethough we went right at opening so they were still in the process of starting their day. Lunch specials are smaller portion, but good for the price (raised to $12.95 now since my last menu photo) We split a lot of dishes because we couldn't decide: Wonton soup appetizer {4.5/5}: Loved how delicate the wontons were and the clear broth was great for a cold day. Tad too salty though. Lunch special --Braised pork belly {3/5}: Very tender, but kind of monotone in flavor. Very filling! Lunch special --Hot and sour gizzards {4.5/5}: This might freak people out in terms of texture, but I LOVE this texture. Good chew and pops of heat from the peppers and acid from the pickled green beans Lunch special --Cumin dish lamb {3/5}: kind of chewy and not as much flavor as I wished, but not bad! Chicken wings {3/5}: Crunchyyyy. Battered wings, not as much flavor as their chongqing chicken which I prefer, but not bad

    Really good sichuan food, giant portions, authentic…read more Been meaning to swing by this place. Often cited as one of the best sichuan places around, had to make the trek to see. Outside is very much a busy shopping plaza in not the best part of town. Inside is a completely different story. Very clean and spacious, lots of booths and tables. Decorated well and a lot to see. The staff were friendly but there was a slight language barrier. We fumbled through the menu and found some bites to try. Food came out relatively quick, and that was a bit to manage because there were a lot of plates brought rather quickly. We got pics and dug in. The bites were flavored well. Nothing felt too greasy or under seasoned. The white pepper chicken was very crispy. But not a lot of chicken on each bite. The sweet and sour soup was both sweet and sour, but balanced enough that you could keep on eating it. The dumplings were fresh noodles and the filling was spiced well. The only flop was the spare ribs. Really tasty sauce, but very little meat on the bone. Had to suck on the bones to scrape enough meat off to make it a proper appetizer. It tasted good, just was not easy to eat. Price for the area was high for the neighborhood. It's got the quality and the flavor to command that price easily, but it doesn't match the stores. It's really good, but know that you're getting the real deal sichuan experience. Expect some heat, some saucy fingers, and some bones, and you'll get some really good bites

I ordered roast pork fried rice and boneless spare ribs. Simple and delicious. I also got the edamame which came plain or possibly lightly salted - either way I put my roasted garlic blend on them at home. They seemed fresh and popped at the right time if you know what I mean. The rice wasn't full of the usual stuff you see in a lot of like foods around here. That stuck out to me. The boneless spare ribs weren't dripping in sauce which was nice. They also were also not dried out the next day for leftovers. I'd say this place is def worthy of the high reviews they've received lately! Seems unassuming from the outside- a bit smoky inside but not the burning smoky- a stir fry smoky!

Designed to be wolfed down over a bed of soft rice. The kind of place I THOUGHT I'd have no trouble finding in New York City, but which my husband and I actually make a special point of ordering from every time I come home to where I grew up. Vegetarian? Get the Szechuan bean curd. It's pillowy fried tofu in a spicy sauce, accompanied by all kinds of steamed vegetables. Their General Tso's tofu is generally the same thing, but no vegetables. I wish they had scallion pancakes, because I know they would kill those too. The veggie fried rice is great. My mom swears by the hot and sour soup and Mongolian beef. Come to their unassuming storefront with $35, leave with two entrees, two apps, and that sweet feeling that you got exactly what you wanted.

This was a well prepared lunch crew. The order was put in for two egg rolls, as an appetizer My neighbor ordered the lemon chicken, which included hot and sour soup I ordered the garlic chicken, along with wonton soup The soups arrived almost immediately, and shortly thereafter came the two spring rolls. The wonton soup was perfect. Two delicate wontons, stuffed with pork, in a chicken broth that was not salty whatsoever. My neighbor said the hot and sour soup was some of the best she ever had The spring rolls were on point, slightly crispy, amazing flavor, and a perfect choice to start to the lunch experience The dinners arrived, and I saw that the beef and garlic sauce also included water chestnuts, broccoli, and a delicious brown sauce that was not too overpowering. The beef and garlic was a perfect combination with these vegetables and the gravy over rice. The rice was just perfectly sticky and delicious. Explosions of different flavors hit this dish perfectly. This was one of the best Chinese dishes I've had in a long time. Tasting the lemon chicken, the chicken was pounded extremely thin, deep-fried and served with lemon slices over the top. It was very nice. The restrooms were spotless. The enjoyment experience was off the charts as far as the ambience, food presentations, the various tastes of the food, along with the prices The vibe was perfect. For Connecticut, this has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in the state. In simple terms, the experience was perfect. Thank you Great Taste. You show Connecticut how restaurants (and small businesses) should be run.
