I would come back to this place every single time. We had a dragon roll, fried rice, Tao-Tini, hot edamame, charred Brussels sprouts, pad Thai noodles AND MY favorite the crispy sesame chicken that also came with cauliflower and broccoli. Literally the best I've ever had.

The interior is warmly lit, with tasteful and sometimes dramatic Asian-influenced decor. Despite being almost full, the noise level was very manageable. Their Lychee Martini is wonderfully refreshing, as is their classic margarita. The chicken gyoza dumpling appetizer (pan-fried with chili garlic sauce) was a flavor-filled delight and the dumpling were bursting with ground chicken. I could have ordered two of these and had them as my main, they were so good! The honey glazed salmon, served with green beans and sweet peppers, was tender and moist, with the crispness of the vegetables balancing it out. The glaze gave the salmon nicely sweet flavor. The Thai sweet & spicy shrimp (lightly coated and fried, served with bell peppers) was a perfect blend of sweet and savory. Delightful! We ordered a side of bok choy, in a savory brown sauce. Our server Tiffany was very helpful and attentive, and our food servings were well paced. Tao is a must if you're at Mohegan Sun!

Was able to park easily outside the restaurant and my order was ready one time. It was prepared pretty quickly in ~15-20 minutes. The inside is cute and has a nice dining in space. I ordered the crab Rangoons and chicken basil pad krapow. I thought the prices were fair ~$25 for both. I enjoyed the Rangoons but I wish they were a little crispier but maybe that was because I did take out. The basil pad krapow was yummy and I was able to get multiple meals out of it. Overall an enjoyable meal!

While having drinks, the bartender recommended Summer Shack since it was our first time here and it's a family friendly restaurant. The restaurant offers a variety of fresh seafood dishes, steaks, and burgers. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. Food and service were good. My husband and I shared the wedge salad. My friends also ordered oysters and octopus. I had the mussels, my husband and friend had the tenderloin steak tips and my other friend had the fish and chips. For dessert, we had the creme brûlée. The food portions were great. We were pretty much the only ones left at the restaurant. It was the perfect place to have dinner with family and friends visiting. I would definitely come back and recommend this place.

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.

After perhaps 30 minutes it seemed every table was taken so I guess we came at a good time. Both of us wanted the ramen so we ordered the Shioyu and chicken katsu ramen. Spicy Octopus roll and crispy calamari roll with some chicken karage. The rolls were surprisingly good and not too spicy. The karage tasted just like ones we have had in Japan. (Was just there in February-so the taste is still on our minds). The ramen was good but we thought it was a little funny that the chicken katsu was given as a side dish. Thought it would be incorporated into the ramen somehow. Still everything was delicious. For starts because the tables were so close and the party next to us had one woman take her shoes off and lay her foot on the chair across from her which happened to be next to where I've was sitting. Luckily at least she had socks on.

Everything came to the table quickly, and we were also given complimentary bread along with olive oil for dipping. I feel that the garlic knots and bread may have been better served with some sauce, but they were both good starters. Once the pizza was placed on the table my entire party was silent apart from the sounds of the occasional grunt of approval. The crust was perfectly cooked providing enough firmness so as not to fold or drop any toppings while also avoiding any char from the oven. The entire party is excited to make a return so that we can try more of the specialty pizzas available.

The crew here is fantastic. They're friendly, quick, and every single time I've come in for carry-out, they've slipped me a little bite to try while I wait. Not sure if that's just how they treat everyone or if I've got a standing reservation for VIP treatment at this point, but either way, it's the kind of small touch that makes a place feel like home even when you're only passing through once a year. The grinders are consistently great, and honestly the food alone would keep me coming back - but it's the people that make Nino's stand out. If you're ever in Uncasville, stop in and tell them I sent you ;)

Hey, fresh sandwiches made in a food court.... they make a lot of stuff in-house and I tend to focus on those items like the turkey. Their pastrami although not made in-house is good too. Their soups are good but its always a bit warm for me unless the dead of winter to get one. It's not fake food sub place by any means so it takes about 7 minutes to make everything which isnt bad when you to get to eat it. read more
