    Two Haiku Review:…read more Apparently one Of the top 100 best Chinese restaurants in America, I Can believe it! Biang biang mian Was very solid!

The…read morespace is simple, with small tables and picture menus covering the walls, but that just adds to its charm. Everything is made fresh to order from the thick, hand-pulled noodles, dumplings, and scallion pancakes. Ordering is quick and casual. You place your order at the back right counter when you walk in (for dine-in or takeout), and the cashier also acts as your server. If you order a noodle soup, they'll ask if you want green onions and/or cilantro. After that, just grab any open table and relax. We ordered a variety of dishes. Appetizers: Scallion pancakes: (3/5) nice crispy pancakes with scallions. Dumplings with pork and leeks: (3/5) tender dumplings filled with pork and some leeks Spicy stewed beef noodle soup: (4/5) thick hand pulled noodles in a savory broth topped with vegetables like bok choy and mushroom and some tender beef Hot and sour vermicelli soup: (4/5) very tangy savory broth with tender vermicelli noodle and ground pork. Medium spicy level Biang Biang noodles with pork: (4/5) their signature hand-pulled noodles are sautéed in a medium spicy sauce with pork. Overall this place hits the spot for an authentic Chinese meal without the glitz and glamour.

It has a traditional looking interior with wooden plaques around. I would have to recommend getting wontons no matter what dish you get, the sauce is so good and we were picking at the peanuts. I got my favorite Hot n Spicy noodles, this was a little more sour than I remembered so if you don't like sour soups I wouldn't recommend. The Dan Dan Noodles were great although could use a little more sauce. The cucumber dish was good, a little small but was refreshing to eat.

We walked into a casual but welcoming space that fits the style of food being served, the kind of place designed around hearty meals rather than a quick stop, with dishes meant to be shared and enjoyed together. The dining room has a warm, unpretentious energy that encourages lingering over a meal rather than rushing through it. The biggest highlight for us was the soup dumplings and noodle dishes. The soup dumplings had a good balance of thin dough, flavorful filling, and broth inside without feeling too heavy, and the wrapper held together well without breaking. The beef noodle soup was another standout, with tender beef that fell apart easily and a rich, aromatic broth that made it a satisfying choice. The handmade noodles had a great texture, with a chewy bite that added more depth compared to typical packaged noodles, and they absorbed the broth well without becoming mushy. We also enjoyed the other dishes that leaned into Northern Chinese flavors. The dan dan noodles had a strong savory profile with a good amount of spice, while the potstickers had a nice contrast between the crispy exterior and softer filling. The menu has a good variety, making it easy to order multiple dishes and try different styles of food in one visit. The portions were generous, and the balance of flavors across the table kept the meal interesting from start to finish. The restaurant can get busy, especially during peak meal times, but the wait was manageable. Service was friendly and helpful throughout the meal, with the staff checking in at the right moments and offering guidance on the menu when needed. The pricing also feels reasonable for the amount of food provided, making it a good value for a meal that feels substantial and well prepared. Lao Hu Tong is a solid choice for Northern Chinese cuisine, especially if you are looking for handmade noodles, dumplings, and comforting dishes. The food feels focused on traditional flavors rather than trying to reinvent classics, which is what makes the experience enjoyable. It is the kind of place that delivers on the promise of a warm, satisfying meal without unnecessary fuss.

We shared several dishes: salt & pepper squid, eggplant in garlic sauce, and roast pork & duck over rice. All were very tasty and satisfying. Staff is welcoming and friendly.

    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.

    1 Star -- The Worst Chinese Food in Amherst (and That's Saying Something!)…read more I ordered the "All Day Combo" General Tso's Chicken with Vegetable Fried Rice for lunch -- and wow, I wish I hadn't. The portion was pathetic: maybe five tablespoons of pre-cooked fried rice and five tiny, shriveled pieces of chicken (smaller than nuggets!) that were clearly reheated leftovers. The chicken was tough, dry, and chewy -- like biting into old rubber. And the price? $12.70 for what? A sad excuse for a meal. Absolutely no value, no freshness, and no effort whatsoever. This was hands-down the worst Chinese food I've ever had in Amherst -- and possibly anywhere. Located on College Street, this place needs to do some serious soul-searching about what they're serving people. If you value your money (and your taste buds), stay far, far away. This wasn't lunch -- it was a culinary insult in a takeout box. Save yourself the disappointment. Just don't.

The mapo tofu and sweet and sour pork were lunch specials, under 12 dollars each! The calamari was much pricier in comparison, over 20 dollars by itself. My favorite was the mapo tofu, it was so flavorful and paired wonderfully with the rice. The food was packed into each of the containers as well, which allowed us to eat until we were stuffed while still having so much food leftover.

    I went here prior to a UMass hockey game, and was told ahead of time that it was functional Chinese…read morefood, but wasn't going to blow my socks off. Turns out, that was a very apt description. We arrived and got seated at a table with a very nice curved window view. I can imagine being here on a rainy or snowy day and getting to be surrounded by the weather while not having to get wet. The service was friendly, if mostly absent, and fast. This place mostly loses stars on the food. We had: wonton soup, miso soup, scallion pancakes, crab rangoons, happy family, tangerine chicken, and asparagus and snap peas with shrimp. The wonton soup seemed to be a beef broth soup, interesting change up from any wonton soup I've had before, a little salty and good wontons. The miso soup was also a good miso. The crab rangoons were too sweet and the wrapper too thick, thus making it chewy, but at least you could tell there was something in there beyond just cream cheese. The hunt for good crab rangoons continues. The scallion pancakes were very thick, but at least not greasy. The sauce was punchy and pleasant. The asparagus and snap peas with shrimp was positioned as having a light flavor, and that was very accurate. Almost like they were steamed and then served, but you could see a sauce coating them. The happy family was coated in a brown sauce that didn't carry much flavor either, but nothing was wrong either. The tangerine chicken was listed as one spicy out of three, and I'm happy to report they understand spicy rating. While the broccoli was chopped a tad large, the chicken was cooked very well, and you got just some spice on the back end with sweet on the front. Overall, nothing here was bad, but it also came across and middling. If you asked me to write this review a couple days from now I feel I'd have trouble remembering anything about this place except the window seat. I am willing to try some of the other aspects of the menu some time in the future, but I'm not sending anyone running here either.
