    General Tso's Combination Dinner, Singapore Noodles, Crab Rangoon
    Nick M.

    Ordered takeout at about 6 on a Tuesday evening. I ordered the crab rangoon, general tso's combination dinner, and an order of Singapore noodles. I was told 15-20 minutes for my pickup. Timing was right on the nose and total came to about $30. Seems right for the amount of food I ordered. The crab rangoon were tasty, albeit a little different than what I'm used to. Typically they're shaped like a little triangle but these are little crimped balls that somewhat resemble a small octopus. Definitely smaller than the triangle variant but still good nonetheless. The general tso's was better than I remember. I've ordered from China Pavilion quite a few times in the past and always found a couple of pieces of chicken that were stringy and tough, but that was not the case this time. The chicken was tender and covered in ample sauce. This dish is not spicy, something to note as I've found this varies a bit place to place. The dinner also came with an egg roll and rice. I ordered simple white rice and both the rice and the egg roll were adequate if not exceptional. The Singapore noodles were new for me. I ordered them after seeing them in a couple other reviews. They were quite good, but not "fiery" as I've seen in other reviews. I will note that they could do with some type of sauce as they were a bit on the dry side, but the flavor was on point. Overall solid Chinese takeout that left me with little to complain about. I'll be ordering again.

    We wanted some dim sum and this place had some good reviews. We were traveling back east and decided to check this place out. The interior is old and can use an update but the service is good. It's family run and they seem to be a really nice family though they're a bit short staffed. Everything went quick after their children showed up to help. We tried a few items: Fried shrimp balls was good Chicken feet in red pepper sauce we didn't care for. It was a bit cold and we didn't care for the sauce. Steamed pork buns were just ok. A little sweet but it felt like it was missing something. Long Beach noodles: DELICIOUS. It came in a sweet and savory sauce topped with fried garlic. The noodles had a nice crispy char on it. Deep fried bean curd rolls w/ pork and shrimp: It was ok. It seamed to be steamed and not fried as it was cold and wet and not crispy. The sauce we weren't a big fan of. Slightly sour. Beef stomach(tripe): Steamed dish and it came with peppers and onions. It was too salty. ROASTED DUCK: We got a half duck. This is the of the show. Definitely one of the best ducks I've had. The skin was crispy and the sauce was very nice. A little sweet and tangy. I kinda wish we ordered a whole one to take home. Overall, it's ok but I'm sure with some updates they'd be great. They need more staff and maybe a little tweaking of their recipes.

    Haven't been here in a while so I wanted to stop in for Sunday when they feature a dim sum menu. The service was very good and everyone was very friendly. I ordered 4 items. Shrimp balls, steamed pork dumplings, scallion pancake and Sticky rice and chicken. I had 2 very nice dishes, 1 okay and one not good to my liking at all. My favorite was the Sticky rice and chicken, the rice was a beautiful texture sticking together perfectly to eat with your hands with a little bit of chicken inside and has a lightly sweet flavor. I also enjoyed the shrimp balls, coated with panko(?) Very crisp and hot. The pork dumplings were okay... seemed like they were premade, maybe frozen and reheated? The scallion pancake just didn't seem right, I've had many in lots of other places, this was not flaky, it was all brown and very dry with almost no scallions. They made it right and took it off the bill, so all was good. They serve hot tea which is a big plus for me and I had several dipping sauces, which were great.

    This place is truly outstanding. I have only been for their Sunday Dim Sum but the dim sum is amazing and comparable to dim sum I've had in major cities. I personally recommend the shrimp balls, roasted duck, taro shrimp, tofu wraps, and Long Beach noodles. Service is excellent- the place is family run and the owners are very sweet. Overall this place is incredible and I've enjoyed every meal I've had here!

    This place is my favorite for Chinese takeout! It was my first time trying their Dim Sum menu. I had the fresh shrimp dumplings and pork buns. The shrimp was flavorful and juicy. For mains, I had the chicken in peanut and pepper sauce (asked for extra spicy). It was full of veggies and the sauce was delicious.

    This is a place to go if you're in the area and want some Chinese. I wouldn't go out of my way necessarily to go, but it's satisfactory. The service is a bit slow, but the employees are friendly and talkative. They made lots of jokes and were attentive. This isn't a bad review. I'm just saying I've had better, but you may find something you love. They have offer a sit down experience, with those crispy fried wontons and the orange (duck?) sauce and hot tea. I adore Chinese restaurants that do this. Which goes to show how many authentic and delicious sit Chinese restaurants I know in Syracuse that I rave about something that should probably be more common. They also do take out. The entrees were well-portioned and freshly prepared, coming out piping hot. They do that optical illusion where they have a gigantic wall mirror that makes the room look 2x bigger. Just a comment, honestly it was a smart move of them. Everyone liked their meal. There were lots of options to choose from and they offered a dinner special. I would go here again and try other things! Anyways, I went with three friends and afterwards we drove to the target in Camillus. It was a fun trip on a weekday after classes and the area was interesting to drive around, although it was fairly dark and I kept saying "lol guys this is like in a movie where you're driving around graveyards and weird neighborhoods and then your car stalls or something and there's a murderer stalker serial guy." Okay I hope that last comment didn't dissuade you from coming. Actually the more I think about this place the more I think it would another great adventure to come. Definitely bring friends!!

    Sunday is the day to stop if you love Dim sum! Serve from opening until 2:30pm. I've been looking for a place to eat dim sum but finally I found a dim sum heaven in this is the place. The staff and the service is great. The owner walks around making conversation with the guest super friendly staff! You won't regret coming to eat here.

    Mediocre dim sum -- seems like it might have been frozen, not from scratch. Maybe non-dim sum dishes are better. Service was nice enough.

    We were on the way to the airport from Corning, but our original dinner destination was closed on…read moreMonday. Searching for food options on the road, Raj Saffron bubbled up as an option. After taking some neighborhood streets, we arrived at the location and parked in their small lot. There was room for perhaps for 6-7 cars. Each space was labeled for whether it was for the restaurant or not. Entering, we were greeted and seated. We had about 1 hour and 14 minutes before boarding, so the staff were very accommodating and pointed out what could be made quickly (basically everything except their tandoori). They also answered questions about gluten. We ended up getting aloo tikki chaat and a lamb shank masala. They provided chickpea flour crisps with mint-cilantro and tamarind chutney. They also brought us their complimentary chai tea, which was very nice and satisfying. Their chaat was well-balanced, gluten-free (the crispies are made with chickpea flour), and it had pomengranate, chickpeas, and potatoes. The pile was dressed with yogurt, tamarind chutney, and mint chutney. Their lamb shank masala came bone-in with the curry sauce surrounding it. The lamb was well cooked, and mostly moist and tender, though there were parts that were dry. Both dishes were well-adorned, which was a nice touch. Best of all, however, was how exemplary all the staff were at the restaurant. They exuded a wonderful calmness and hospitality. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Syracuse.

I've never eaten here in person but have ordered delivery and take out multiple times and feel that the portion sizes are well worth the cost. My recommendations absolutely include the Saffron Special Biriyani which was incredibly flavorful and had SO MUCH different proteins in it and the Lamb Shank Masala. I'm used to many places only giving the lamp shank and nothing else but Raj Saffron House gives lamb shank with multiple pieces of lamb as well. It was incredibly delicious and tender. The chicken saag and the lamb karahi are also tasty! Best Indian food in cuse!

She was also so sweet to write down everything on a sticky note that had anything I'm allergic to which is always appreciated. We did both Kpot and BBQ and glad we got to do both. I really enjoy the buffet/all you can eat style since you're in total control of how much or how little you choose, especially when trying something new. I did try a lot of new things while here and I think it's the perfect way to do it! I made a ramen bowl and also grilled a lot of different meats - our favorite was the spicy pork belly! We got up for seconds, thirds, and fourths bc it was so good!! There is also a section of creating your own sauce which was fun too! You could definitely make a variety of different sauce creations, maybe some sweet, some spicy, some more or less flavorful, there are no limits! They also had a guide above the sauce line to help you follow the ingredients if you're looking for some inspiration. I would definitely come back again! I wish they had more dessert options.
