    a take out container of stir fried noodles
    Melinda T.

    Best Chinese food in the Warren area hands down. Forget Main Moon, it hardly even compares and the staff at MM are unfriendly and even rude at times. The Chow Mei Fun is to die for. Not skimpy on portions, everything is so fresh, nice size meat portions and veggies crispy to perfection and food never feels greasy or heavy. I adore this place once I found it I will never order from anywhere else. Bravo to one of the best places to eat in town.

    A thoughtful thank you on the container!

    Surprise surprise!!! My expectations for Chinese takeout in the Howland area were very low... but I am pleasantly impressed with the food and the thoughtful way it was packaged for delivery. The paper bag had a cardboard placed in the bottom of the bag to stabilize it and keep the food from dropping out the bottom! I appreciated that touch very much. And.... when I removed the food containers there was a little pink sticker saying THANK YOU! Everything was properly done and juicy, Our Human beef and chicken lo mein were very good, meat looked like real meat and both chicken and beef were tender. The veggies crisp and generous. Our pork egg roll was dense and full of vegetables.... though I didn't see the pork... the crab Rangoon wrappers were a little too chewy, but we received a good portion of sweet and sour dipping sauce... overall ... the best Chinese takeout EXPERIENCE... in the Howland area. I highly recommend trying it out!

    We came for Valentine's Day. We lucked out and got a seat at the bar. The beet salad was the best…read moreI've ever had! Thick slices of beets dressed with Gorgonzola (or maybe bleu cheese) slivered toasted almonds over fresh greens. I'm glad I made the cohort get his own. My seafood pasta was phenomenal. I could only muster half. It was laden with shrimp, mussels, clams and perfectly seared scallops. Cohort got lamb lollipops--- fall off the bone tender and flavorful. This was the perfect meal for the perfect night

    Visited here with a larger group on Christmas Eve…read more Chophouse has a fancy vibe. The staff is quite friendly. They had a nice selection of fun holiday beverages that a few of us tried. They ranged from sweet to boozy. It was a nice variety that offered something for everyone. For dinner I tried the crab crusted salmon. It was a good pairing, but the salmon without the crab left something to be desired. The Chophouse offers a vegan/vegetarian menu, but you do have to ask for it. One of the featured items on that menu was the ratatouille. It was fantastic and I would certainly recommend it. For sides I greatly enjoyed the Caesar salad, which was not too fishy, and the whipped Yukons were a delight. Large parties can be a challenge, but regardless I found the service to be a bit inconsistent. Though always friendly, we had to remind our server of items that we had asked for on more than one occasion. Near the end of the meal it seemed that the bussers were pushing for us to wrap things up and get out, despite not having been there for a terribly long time. We were asked multiple times if certain items could be cleared while we were still eating them. They just didn't seem to have a good feel for this. There certainly were some strong dishes and I wouldn't hesitate to go again, though it would be on a special occasion as they are certainly not cheap.

My boyfriend and I weren't really into the King Cajun Seafood Special Sauce. I usually go for house special sauces since they're usually good, but this one just didn't hit the spot. We ordered the hot spice level, but it wasn't spicy at all, and the sauce had this creamy taste--maybe they added flour or cornstarch to thicken it? I prefer my seafood boil sauce to be zesty and spicy. We ended up ordering a side of Cajun garlic butter sauce instead, and that was way better in my opinion. I also wish I had asked for a side of lemon slices (my bad), it would've made the flavors pop more with some extra zest and tang. One thing I really liked about the restaurant was that their seafood sizes were enormous! The shrimp and crawfish were jumbo-sized, and the Dungeness crab was packed with meat. Oh, and a heads up, when we ordered extra corn, we thought it would be three cut pieces, but I think it was actually three whole corn cut into thirds. So yeah, no need to order extra corn unless you really love it. We ended up leaving with a whole bag of corn. I guess that will be my lunch and dinner for tomorrow.

    I don't say this lightly...this is the real deal…read more I'm originally from South Florida, and I've spent time in Jamaica, so I'm very picky when it comes to Caribbean food. I've had a lot of "close enough" over the years...but this? This is authentic. This is the kind of food that makes you pause midbite and just nod. Dalia's isn't your typical restaurant, and that's part of what makes it so special. It's set inside what feels like a home, and when you walk in, that's exactly the experience...you're not just a customer, you feel like a guest. It's warm, personal, and genuinely welcoming in a way you just don't find in most places anymore. And I have to say...everything is spotless. You can tell she takes pride not just in her food, but in the space she's inviting you into. And she carries that same care into the food. I've been here multiple times, and what impresses me most is the consistency. You know how some places wow you the first time, then slowly fall off? Not here. Every single visit, the food has been just as good as the last. That alone is rare. Now let's talk about the oxtail... Fall-off-the-bone tender, rich, deeply seasoned...but perfectly balanced. Not overly spicy, not bland...just enough heat to remind you you're eating proper Jamaican food. And unlike a lot of places, you actually get meat here. Generous, satisfying portions that feel like someone cooked this for you on purpose. The rice (and yes, it's seasoned beautifully...more like a classic Caribbean rice than traditional peas and rice) is the perfect base, especially when you ask for a little extra of that brown sauce over the top. Trust me on that. The cabbage has a nice little kick to it, cooked just right...not soggy, not raw. The plantains? Sweet, caramelized, exactly what you want them to be. And I have to mention the mac & cheese because it surprised me in the best way. Creamy, with a perfect cheese pull, but not heavy or overwhelming. It's balanced...comforting without being too much. One of the things that really stood out to me is the quality of the meat. I actually asked her about it, and she sources locally from a farm...which explains a lot. You can taste the difference. Also, pro tip: call ahead. Her food is fresh and made with care, and she does sell out. I usually let her know what day I'm coming and what I want, and she's always incredibly accommodating and kind about it. The first time I came, she even gave me a sample plate with a little bit of everything...and there wasn't a single thing on that plate I wouldn't order again. This place isn't just a restaurant...it's an experience. It feels like sitting in someone's home, being fed with pride, skill, and love. Honestly? It's a hidden gem, and places like this are getting harder to find. I'll be back again...and again.

    Absolutely love the food! Kind & helpful service, good…read moreprices! I always recommend this place to friends & family. I live in Maui Hawaii, but whenever I'm in town, I have to stop & get a plate or two.

We started off with the fried artichokes which were crispy and delicious. They reminded us of the ones we had in Rome last year. My mom and I had the lemon pasta with shrimp. It was unbelievably good. You got tons of shrimp and the pasta was soft and melted in your mouth with the lemon. My husband loved his wedding soup and chicken Milanese.

My goodness! My lips/gums were burning from the spice BUT the flavor was extraordinary and enjoyable despite my sensitivities LOL. The mild ones were perfection and flavors meshed well together. BEST CHICKEN & FRIES EVER! Kickin Bourbon (maybe SBR's?) were very fun and exciting on the palate. Definitely have that bourbon taste present and spice level was beginner friendly. The Soy Garlic were also delicious, it seems this was the "mild" sauce that was on the Fried Dumplings per my tastebuds' thoughts. Parmesan Truffle Fries had that perfect crispy thin outer shell and meaty inner potato heaven. Truffle level was satisfactory and not lacking (but could always do more). Food was fresh, table water was cold (thankfully) with an orange slice, & employees friendly. I did sit for about 10-15 minutes not eating anything due to needing a box and I had to initiate asking for one instead of it being offered. I love being left alone to eat, but don't forget about me!
