Really good Chinese food. I love that they don't have peas and carrots in fried rice. Price is very reasonable as well.

Been going there for years, always good. They always get the order right, it's always ready on time. The folks who work there are always friendly and pleasant. read more

All set to order And then saw my total went from $15 to almost $30. The tip is fine. The $9 delivery fee? Ever since uber eats etc, everyone charges crazy delivery fees. Even when they're not using these services. Gone are the days of delivery included when you order over $10. Just ruined my night read more

Always fresh and great portion sizes! This is a family run business and they are always quick and efficient!

We stopped at Whitney Garden for the first and picked up lunch, on our way home from a doctor appointment. We will definitely return. We each had a lunch special ( sesame chicken and shrimp with broccoli), which came with rice and soup, and we added a shrimp roll. Everything was delicious and we have leftovers. We are fussy about take out, so this is a great find! read more

Haven't been here in a long time so I decided to try them again. This place is mostly average but there's a few things on their menu that they really get right. For some reason, their curry sauce is very good, plus they're the only Chinese takeout in town that officially has curry tofu on the menu. If you like Chinese curry dishes then you need to try this place. The vegetable fried rice was good and had a nice oniony flavor but the portion size was kinda small. Still, this is a decent place, especially for curry lovers. read more

Will definitely come back the next time I see a concert here! The food was inexpensive but also great. The staff were so nice! The dumplings were especially good. Not much room to eat so definitely a take out location. read more

They have excellent food the service is very fast and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place, I also wanted to thank my father for recommending this place to us a while ago because my boyfriend, my Mom and I love ordering online from here! read more

There's a funny thread on Yelp's New York Talk page titled "Tell me a first world problem you've dealt with recently.." Some of the responses deal with cracked iPhones, faulty DVRs, crummy internet service, one-ply toilet paper, disappointing soft drink choices, and McD's lack of onion rings. This topic comes to mind because I was driving home from a series of late afternoon and early evening meetings in Milford when I got hungry. I really didn't want to spend time by stopping at a restaurant, because I had work to do once I got home, but the thought of hitting the drive-up window at some fast food joint was very unappealing. By the time I hit Hamden, the hunger pangs forced my hand. I used to work in Hamden a long time ago and I remembered a Chinese take-out joint on Whitney Avenue not too far from the Merritt Parkway exit, so I headed in that direction.. Cool! It was still there! I needed to order something that I could eat in the car while driving, so things like soup and lo mein were non-starters. I settled on an order of Boneless Pork Ribs and Steamed Dumplings -I think it was like $11 or $12. The Boneless Ribs were absolutely great. They were very lean (no fat or gristle) very tender and very flavorful. The dumplings were quite large and the filling was very good, but maybe the outsides were a little too thick and doughy. Whitney Garden is your typical Chinese take-out establishment with a ton of choices and fast counter service, They sure solved my First World Problem. read more

Best Chinese takeout for the price in Hamden. My kids love the chicken nuggets and French fries. I love the chicken, eggplant and garlic sauce. Order is always right and ready when promised. I love using the app BeyondMenu for placing my order. Good deals on the menu is 4 big chicken wings with fried rice for $8.45 (generous rice portion) and steamed dumplings for $4.95. read more

Found my new favorite chinese takeout spot. Ordered on their website, gen tso's and sesame ckn. Food was outstanding. Wife and i ate ALL of it and loved it. Delivery was FAST. Definitely coming back. read more

Best Chinese food in the area. Food has been consistent for years... vegetables look and taste fresh, not oily (for Chinese food), great portions for the price. Service is quick and professional. I usually order the Green Jade Vegetables for $7.65 but substitute the eggplant for the peppers - never had an issue. read more

Bought seasame chicken with pork fried rice because they allow you to swap an egg roll for soup but instead of seasame chicken i got what looks like a ball of sticky rice just dipped in sauce. DO NOT recommend going to this location. DO not appreciate their business practice. read more

The most disgusting chicken I have ever had in my life. Completely inedible. A soggy, fatty, tasteless, mess. I am not exaggerating when I say I could not even eat one bite. Do not go here read more

Whitney Garden - "Chicken" - Chinese Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

Our favorite Chinese restaurant (fast, friendly, & free -- OK, it's not free, but I couldn't think of an "f" word that says "very reasonably priced) When my in-laws come, all six of us can eat for under $40 (& that's with two teenagers who don't know when to stop eating.) We like: Chicken lo mein, egg fried rice, veggie lo mein, dumplings, sweet & sour chicken, chicken w. broccoli, broccoli with garlic sauce, moo shu vegetables & hope to try many more.... Everything has always been great and we get it in less than 15 - 20 minutes. read more

Always great food and friendly service and it doesn't rob your bank! I have tried many different dishes, all taste great!

We love Whitney Garden. We drive from Wolcott to get it. Though I work in North Haven, so often stop on my way home. Their pan fried wontons are the best things I have ever eaten. They are crispy and filled with a flavorful meat, and the are slightly caramelized by putting a bit of sugar when they pan fry them. Their Golden Fingers are very good, Chicken Teriyaki, Eggplant/chicken in garlic sauce, Cold Sesame Noodles, Egg foo young, and more all yummy. The owner is lovely!!! read more

Terrific portion sizes and excellent flavor for a standard chinese take-out restaurant. Wonderfully large shrimp in fried rice and lo mein dishes. Best chinese take-out I have had in years, especially since moving close to Hamden, CT from northern CT. read more

This was our second time ordering from here, since my mom moved back from North Carolina. The food was good so we decided to try it for a second time. My mom saw a twisted piece of wire hanging from the beef and broccoli before putting in her mouth and thought it was a sliver of broccoli hanging from the beef. Thank goodness she was alert and noticed. read more

THE BEST Chinese food in town and I want to say in CT. Love the beef and broccoli with vegetable fried rice it's my go to every time.

Visiting family in Conn. and this is a frequent takeout meal. Food is pretty consistent and fresh upon arrival and take out is always nice when you can stay home and enjoy from the comforts of your home. Tonight was appetizers of crab rangoon, spare ribs and Chinese chicken noodle soup. The soup was okay but everything else was yummy. We also got the pork egg foo young which was delicious and got extra gravy which is needed for 3 pieces. Sweet snd sour shrimp was also delicious. Needless to say totally stuffed and satisfied and never got out of my Jammie's. read more

Cleanest and freshest chinese take out I've had. It doesn't taste like everything was dipped in the same old oil like most other places. Fast delivery is a plus as well ! read more

Ordered delivery late this weekend. I ordered general tso and boneless spare ribs dinner. Almost 30 bucks after tip. The food was fucking disgusting. I threw it out. read more

Offers lunch specials for $5 from 11-3pm. I would suggest that if you are located near by, do pick up instead of delivery - noticed delivery takes much longer. Other than that - fast service! read more

Whitney Garden - Lunch menu with 30 different choices for only $5.25. Not bad. - Chinese Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

very impressed with the food here. I wouldn't recommend eating in, but for takeout it's perfect. tried the broccoli with garlic sauce and boneless bbq pork, both delicious! currently my favorite for chinese in the area read more

Sadly, this restaurant is no more than average. Large portions of rice accompanied by entrees that are far from inspired. Delivery is cheap - $3.00. I sampled three dishes: General TSO's chicken - chewy chicken nuggets in an ultra sweet sauce with a bit of heat (note Burger King is offering ten hot chicken nuggets for only $1.69) Roast Pork Lo Mein - a bit dry and bland Beef w/ Garlic Sauce - good flavor but so little beef Rice - The biggest disappointment here is the pork fried rice. Tasteless, dry with only a few tiny cubes of pork. There was no pork flavor. Since the rice makes up 3/4 of these combo platters, this tasteless stuff makes you ask yourself why eat here again. While friendly, clean and not greasy are fine attributes, I'd also like a bit of flavor. read more

Pretty solid lunch specials. Very cheap and fast. Fried rice could be better but not complaining much at $6.

As far as Chinese food goes, these guys win. The food is good and the prices are fair. Their boxed shrimp is awesome. I will be returning for sure. read more

Great place! The people are really nice. The food is really good and my favorite is the curry chow fun, which the owner recommended to me. The price is fair and the portion is big for a girl like me. Would recommend it! read more

It's very good for take-out Chinese. Solid portions, good prices, and not as greasy as a lot of take out places. The people there are very friendly (I think they're all a family) and they even throw in a 2-liter of soda if you order enough food :) read more

I'm on a quest to find the best dumplings in town and this was my first stop. The dumplings are Meh. I feel like they were reheated, which was a little disappointing but they hit the spot. The dumpling sauce is strangely spicy. read more

Whitney Garden is probably the best chinese restaurant/take-out in hamden, they are always good when I have them, delivery is normal and efficient. read more

This is about as solid and quintessential a Chinese takeout place as you can expect. Is it quality food? No. It is delicious? You betcha. Very friendly people and moderate prices. The General Tso's chicken was the heavily battered thigh meat that you expect. The fried rice wasn't greasy, but didn't stand out. My wife enjoyed the wonton soup and pork lo mein. They toss in a free two-liter bottle of soda with large orders too. read more

Tastes like any other cheap chinese place- Lunch special $5.25 and 30 choices so solid- minimum $15 for delivery. The person who took my order was a little curt likely owing to language, but they delivered within 40 minutes during lunch which they said they would. read more

It's a cheap Chinese food restaurant. They were very quick with preparing our order. I ordered the shrimp friend rice and it was decent. But my shrimp was not deveined which turned me off. My mother ordered the pepper steak and found it to be alright. Nothing spectacular. read more

I just ordered a basic steamed chicken, vegetables and rice meal, I've ordered here before and haven't had any real issues. Not the greatest, but not the worst either. I got home and had 2 oz of chicken in my meal! I called and explained my situation and instead of resolving the issue, the woman was arguing with me and hung up the phone abruptly. I paid $10 for a meal of primarily rice and vegetables- all I could have gotten for cheap at the grocery store had I really wanted. I'm more angry at the way things were handled than the amount charged for barely any real food. read more
