The front area is more of a dive bar feel, the back room more of a restaurant feel, with a sweet little courtyard adding to the diversity of space.

The cocktails were refreshing, and man, let me tell you... the steak skewers... YUM. I had zero expectation of what my tastebuds were going to feel, once the bartender put a bottle of A-1 on the bar.

T. Roots is a Taiwanese restaurant located in the heart of Northampton, with a modern, minimalistic interior that gives it a clean and inviting feel. The food here is delicious, with standout noodle soups and appetizers that come in generous portions for the price. I tried the spicy beef dry noodle, which was excellent--not overly spicy but still had a nice kick. The appetizers are definitely worth trying as they complement the main dishes well. The service, however, was a bit of a mixed experience. Our party of five initially had some difficulty with seating, as we were told that the booth for four wouldn't be able to accommodate us, even though other groups appeared to be seated similarly. Eventually, the server allowed us to sit, though there was a noticeable attitude, which slightly impacted the overall experience. Despite the hiccup, T. Roots is a great spot for flavorful Taiwanese food, and I'd still recommend it for the quality of the dishes. read more

Panda Garden - An Unexpected Gem in the Boonies…read more I was driving back from the Berkshires this weekend, enjoying the beautiful, scenic views, when my stomach suddenly began to grrrrrrowl. I passed a couple of gas stations and a pizza joint, but then--out of nowhere--I spotted a place called Panda Garden. Way out here in the boonies? I thought to myself, I'm kinda craving some soup and noodles, so I turned the truck around and pulled into a quaint little parking lot. To my delight, I walked into a cozy, welcoming Chinese restaurant. I was greeted with warm smiles and promptly seated in a quiet corner. They brought out iced water, hot tea, and--surprisingly--two menus. That caught my attention. Two menus? I've only seen this in Chinatown or in rare spots that serve authentic dim sum. Could it be? I glanced at the regular menu first and placed my order--I was starving. But then I realized I'd forgotten to look at the second menu tucked underneath. I asked the server if I could hang onto it a bit longer. As I flipped through it, I was stunned--it was an authentic Chinese menu, filled with dishes I usually only find in major cities. And the prices? Straight out of the '80s! Seriously, I haven't seen prices like this since high school. For example, Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice--something that would run close to $30 in Jupiter, Florida--was only $9.95 here. Seafood Pan-Fried Noodles for $14.95? Wowee. I'm going to be eating here a lot when I live in the Berkshires. Now, maybe it was because I was starving to death, but I swear--this was the best egg drop soup and lo mein I've had in a long, long time. It completely hit the spot and made my stomach stop growling. My only problem now? I was ready for a nap on my long drive home!

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.

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.

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.

I got the Cannon ball roll which had shrimp tempura, a garlic aioli, and topped with a nice chunk of beautifully seared steak. I loved that roll - super delish!

I also got a salmon skin roll which had crushed up salmon skin in the roll... unique as I'm used to a rolled up fried salmon skin. My fiancé got the Mt Holyoke roll and enjoyed it as well. The specialty rolls were definitely massive. My only disappointment was the duck bao, which had shredded duck in five spice. I was hoping for the more traditional peking duck style bao. My bao also had some furry bits stuck to the end, not sure if it was lint from somewhere but it looked like dog hair. It was pretty baked into there. I didn't mind too much I just ripped that piece off. Too hungry to care, but that knocked a star off the review. Would potentially try the ramen if we come back.
