It's a small eatery; you order at the counter, and they bring the food to you. We had the kuyteav beef soup, shared the stir-fried kuyteav with seafood (aka meekatang), and the beef sticks.

The stir-fried noodles were good too; a little dry for me; it could've used more gravy. But the beef sticks were the bomb!

The very kind cook, Massey, said she could make anything on the menu gluten-free. (I think there might have been an exception of Korean dishes that were marinated.) We shared an excellent chicken noodle soup; it had thin rice noodles and a very clean, clear broth, not oily. I'm accustomed to Vietnamese broths that have a lot more aromatics, but the simplicity of this was wonderful. The fried chicken was cut in small, bone-in pieces, with a mild flavor and served with papaya salad. Massey is a character and she knows how to cook.

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!

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.
