A hidden gem! The prices are fair, the portions are large and the food is authentic, fresh, and flavorful. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and we can’t wait to go back.
I was PLEASANTLY surprised by the Chinese Cucumber Pickled in Vinegar because I don’t not like cucumbers, but it was on the table so I tried it and WOW! You have to get it with a side of chili oil (trust me). It was so good , I got an order to go.

I needed my authentic Chinese fix, and this Lao Sze Chuan was a delightful find. The appetizer Szechuan dumplings in red chili sauce were incredibly tasty; I can eat 2 orders myself. The chili sauce was so good it enhances pretty much anything you dip into it. The West Lake beef soup is an all-time favorite of mine, as usual: light, comforting, and delicious. BF enjoyed the cumin lamb, and I had the steamed striped bass… wow! It was so good I can’t find words to describe it. Bok choy with garlic stir-fry was a good addition for a healthy meal. I’d be here weekly if it weren’t a 50-minute drive. City of Danbury doesn’t have much to offer when it comes to great authentic Chinese food. Sadly, I’d have to drive farther to satisfy my palate. Service was fast, friendly, and the restaurant has a nice cozy ambiance. 5 stars!

It was about 15 minutes before someone came to take our order. It was a busy night, so that’s understandable. The menu is a novel, so the extra time to browse wasn’t harmful. It wasn’t even completely offensive when 1 order arrived to the table 10 minutes before mine. The issue came about when I realized I did not like what I had ordered, and so I barely touched it. I’m not picky by any means but I’m sure this has happened before given they’re a vendor of tongues, frogs and intestines. A server arrived roughly 25 minutes after setting my food down to check on things (we’re roughly an hour in now), and after hearing my issue offered me a selection of something else on the menu but insisted that I pay for a dish that I did not like and barely had 2 bites of. Tldr; the food is good enough, the service is indifferent and you are on your own if you make a mistake. Maybe things we’re different 7months or a year ago. If you want to order American Chinese food, go to Dragon Garden for a bigger portion and similar quality. If you want to sit down then Sayori has you covered with (again) greater portions and better service all around. Hope this helps

I got the lunch special recently. This is what it looked like after I took a bite; it was mostly rice. The egg roll was also very bland. I’ve never had egg rolls that tasted bad. I would definitely not recommend their lunch special.

10/10 This is the best traditional Szechuan Chinese restaurant in CT! Great to see it’s still top notch. The food is incredible, as is the service and atmosphere. They’re very friendly and kind.
I usually don’t get to try spicy Szechuan dishes because of my peanut allergy but they took good care of me! This is the first time we’ve tried their beef hotpot and it was divine!
We ate so much but felt very ‘clean/healthy-full’ as nothing was heavy and everything was so fresh.
Also the portions are big.
Can’t wait to go back. (What we ordered in the picture captions)

This restaurant has a very nostalgic vibe to it. Minimal decoration and it’s basically come in, eat, and leave. The menu is rather extensive and authentic. The egg roll and general Tsao chicken were amazing, very fresh, tenders and flavorful. The grill was great. The boneless ribs were disappointing and cold. They didn’t serve tea but I think you could buy it. The prices were reasonable. We order a lunch plate and it was $12.00 for a soup, egg roll, entree and choice of rice.the vegetable fried rice was just okay. The wonton broth was very good but the wonton dough was too thick. I do strongly recommend this place.

My wife and I stopped in this past weekend for a quick bite since New Haven was absolutely swarmed by Yale undergrad move in. The renovations have really gone quite far in modernizing the location. My parents used to come here for well over a decade before the new ownership took over. I had grown accustomed to the plastic sheeted menus but it is fantastic to see new technology being embraced and used competently.
The food is great as its always been. The bamboo shoots and tripe were generously seasoned with real flavorful chili oil unlike a lot of other chinese establishments in the area. The food is treated right and you get the full flavor palate that it deserves.
The wonton soup broth was rich and not the usual one note salty water you find locally around here. The wonton skin thickness was excellent and reminds me of a homestyle wonton soup.
The fried rice was not at all clumpy and flavor was very balanced. All too often in these parts you run into oily clumpy rice soaked in salt.
Finally the cumin shortrib used actual cumin seeds. A lot of the local spots cheap out and just use cumin powder and frankly it just doesn’t taste the same.
Aside from the now closed Great Wall in new haven (and no Chef Jiang is not the same) this is really the last truly authentic spot on the shoreline.

The food was soooo good, it was delicious. I was just a little disappointed by the server. I came in she wasn’t friendly to me at all. And she ended up to be my server and she wasn’t good at all. She made me feel like I couldn’t ask her any questions and she wasn’t being friendly. This is coming from someone who is a host/server. I also asked one of the Chinese server a question and our host/server came in and immediately pushed her away mid of me talking to her. I understand she was my server but she could have been more friendly with me and her other co worker…. BUT the food was a 10/10

Authentic Szechuan food. Every time we ordered Szechuan style sole fillets with wild peppers, chicken stir fried with chili, Chinese eggplant in garlic sauce. We love the food so good. Highly recommended.

We have been talking about this place ever since we came here for lunch yesterday. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely fantastic. We ordered the lo mein extra spicy and the braised tofu. Both were excellent, and the tofu dish was one of the best I’ve tried. We normally can never finish our food but we cleaned our plates!
