    a plate of dumplings and a bowl of soup
    Adam B.

    This place has the best Chinese. I am new to the area and this is a hidden gem. I recommend the steamed pork dumplings and the chicken fingers

    The General Tso chicken (my barometer) was good. Rice was good too. I would eat here again. My 3 star rating are for two things, 1 was time of order. I ordered at 12:15 and got my lunch order at 12:35. It was not busy. Two people working. The other loss of a star was that the cashier did a health code violation, after working the register, he went back to cutting food in the back w/o washing hands. Money is dirty!

    Extra spicy General Tso! They should call this place "Spicy Rice" instead!
    Kevin D.

    Ya know, sometimes the hole in the walls are the best. There is nothing sweet about "Sweet Rice" and that's exactly how I like it. I've been eating Chinese food for a good nineteen - twenty year now, and this is the FIRST time my General Tso has actually come into battle extra spicy. I always ask for extra spicy. ALWAYS. Sweet Rice did it. Their General Tso won the war with my taste buds as the only causality. The only thing I would change is instead of "Sweet Rice" I'd call it "Spicy Rice"

    This is the best Chinese food in the area. The places in colchester do not compare. Swear Rice never lets me down!

I can't tell you what the inside of the restaurant looks like; we always order to-go, I drive and my partner runs inside to pick it up. He's described it as a "big kitchen behind a counter" so there is likely minimal seating, if any. What I can say is they are always kind and helpful on the phone. They understand what you're asking for (I've been to places where they just want you to list off the item #s from the menu), will answer questions, and even sometimes clarify what you're asking for (my fav is the chicken chow mei fun and they always make sure I know it comes with the thin "spaghetti" noodles (they say that, but it's really thin rice noodles)). The chow mei fun does not contain as many greens as I like (contains shredded carrot, onion, mung bean sprouts, and bamboo shoots) so I always add a package of steamed peas to it which makes the quantity of the food large enough for 2 meals. The egg and chicken in it are plentiful and delicious. My partner goes with the combo General Tso's chicken which comes with an egg roll and pork fried rice, which he loves. I did try crab rangoon from here recently and was not enchanted; it was like a fried pocket full of hot cream cheese. Overall a consistently good to-go dining experience at a fair price. Simple, but good, Chinese food.

As I slid into the seat it felt a little rough. Noticed that the smooth cushion that's expected was actually well worn and cracked making it a little uncomfortable. I did notice some other booths were the same so they really should invest in renovating the seat cushions. S far as getting served and the food: service was very quick. Soup and salad came out right away. Appetizers were quick and the entrees were cooked and served quick. So that part was great. Salas had a little more dressing than I expected compared from similar places. But it was good, as was the soup. Surprised they served the soup with a metal utensil, normally the Asian places use a wooden spoon. The Ichiban roll was delicious. A little pricey for a roll though. We had the Hibachi combination dinners. One steak with shrimp and the other steak with scallops. Tasty dishes, but the scallops could have used s as touch more searing and seasoning.

Whenever friends visit me I take them here too because it's just so good.

Hubby responsibly orders a delicious lunch menu item & I order enough food for THREE people!!! - Steamed roast pork rice rolls - Steamed Golden Palace shrimp dumplings - Steamed pork & shrimp shumai - Deep-fried taro dumpling with pork & dried shrimp - Baked roast pork buns - Stir-fried Chinese broccoli with fresh garlic Hubby loves the #14 combo: shrimp with vegetables, fried rice, golden fingers (chicken tenders) & egg roll. Even for him, it is enough for 2 meals! His favorite item from the dim sum menu is the stir-fried Chinese broccoli with fresh garlic. Everything was outstanding & I would do it again tomorrow. If you are ever in the vicinity of Mohegan Sun, take a 5 minute drive & check out this amazing Chinese restaurant! Dim sum is available daily so give it try. Highly recommend. NOM NOM NOM #YUM

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 6 Overall: 7 I have been coming here for the last 20 years. It has been one of my favorite dim sum restaurants in all of the US. Obviously things change over time, but my recent visit still tells me that most of the food is still very solid, though not quite as great as it once was. What I love about this place is that all the food comes out fresh and hot. Unfortunately, a few of my favorite items have taken a step back. For example, the Sticky Rice Flour Dumpling w/ Pork & Dried Shrimp had way less filling than a few years ago. Still good flavor, but not great any more. Also, what happened to the Pork & Shrimp Stuffed Peppers? All I tasted was soy based ground pork and no shrimp whatsoever. Lastly, the Duck Egg Yolk Custard Bun has gone really downhill. Skip! With that said, I still absolutely love their Pork & Shrimp in Dried Bean Sheet Roll. One of the best I've had anywhere. Chicken Feet in Black Bean Sauce and Fatty Pork Ribs, and Sole Filet in a Fried Thin Rice Wrap are still excellent. There are many other standard items that are done well, but not necessarily better than most places. Every time I come to Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods Casino, this has been a must stop. Though I feel the quality has downgraded a bit, I would still consider this restaurant one of the best places to eat in the area. However, I do hope that they find their old magic touch with some of my favorite dishes.
