Top notch food, efficient service, nice Chinese owners. The food feels cleaner than your typical "chinese takeout" place because it is not just takeout (though pick up is available) - it is a proper sitdown Chinese restuarant, like full banquet-size, hosting venue type restaurant, so there are also some more authentically prepared offerings on the menu in addition to the standard Americanized "Chinese takeout" dishes. I was staying nearby on a trip recently and ordered pickup from them twice: each time the food was ready in record time and was delicious and substantial without giving me greasy after feelings. Surprisingly some of the best springs rolls ive ever had - perfectly crisp shattering shell, not greasy, nice filling - just good execution. Each time picking up, it seemed like the white population of the town filled the front room as return customers too. Winchester is lucky to have a Chinese restuarant of this quality. read more

Unfortunately the worst Chinese we had in US. Everything was tasteless, the dumpling was only dough, nothing was close to real chinese. We did not want to leave a comment but after we had the lunch (in fact dumped everything to trash and had something else) we called the location to tell our comments, all we heard is why they make everything their way. Sorry guys, yours is not our way. We hate to leave negative reviews but I believe you guys deserve it.. read more

Awesome food, nice place, great food!!! Try it, you'll like it!! So have to write more, review to short!?! Eat here!

My family's been loyal, generous customers of China Sky since they took Ciro's place ~10 years ago, and receive a complimentary app or two because of it when dining in or taking out. Prior to my last visit two days ago, I would have given it 5 stars without a doubt. There was nothing at all wrong with the service or food, but I realized their selection of sushi is a LOT less extensive than I remembered it to be. I was surprised and a bit disappointed =( they have all of the staples, but their specialty roll selection is lacking. After 10 years with the same menu, I think it's time to add a few. That being said, the quality and taste of their sushi, Chinese pickies, tempura, and long list of cooked entrees is extremely well executed and flavorful. Definitely trumps all other Chinese/Japanese joints around. They also serve delicious (and free) tea for the table when you're dining in. And they sport one of the only full bars in Winchester. Eva, the manager, is such a sweetheart! I look forward to her warm welcome whenever I come in, which consists of her smiling wide and yelling "SUSHI GIRL!" followed by a huge hug. Get on her good side and she'll hook it up every time. She'll also insist that "You lose the weight!" without fail every revisit, no matter how wrong she may be. God love her! Things to try: Dynasty Duo - very fresh. The shrimp are plump and snap to the bite Lamb in Two Styles - one's got some kick to it Dragon Roll - Shrimp Tempura topped with eel and avocado read more

Haven't eaten out since the Covid 19 started. Decided to take out tonight. SO HAPPY WE DID! China Sky did not disappoint! Same quality of food as it always has. They have put in place plexiglass around the front desk and have Apple Pay or tap card on the counter. No touching anything except your food bags! Thank you, China Sky! read more

This restaurant is consistently excellent, across the board. Go to favorites include sesame shrimp/chicken/tofu, sushi, lo mein, fried rice, scallion pancakes, and beef and broccoli. I appreciate the efficiency and thoughtfulness of the staff with take out orders. After years of top notch service they showed me kindness this evening with an order which made me reflect and want to share my positive experiences and appreciation. read more

Okay so this place is very AMERICANIZED...it's winchester what do you expect? So I came there on a saturday night with the bf, we were seated right away even though it seemed fairly busy. After we sat down the waitress INSTANTLY asked us what we wanted to drink. I asked for a few more minutes, and she stepped to the side and stared at us waiting for me to decide....not cool. I'm a picky person...sorry I had a hard time deciding what I wanted and their menu was pretty extensive with sushi and chinese food, so I was having a hard time. The waitress was not having it. I think she came over 3-4 times to ask me if I was ready to order. NO when I put the menu down, I'll be ready to order! I used to be a waitress, it's not brain surgery lady. So we...err I..decided to get crab rangoons, beef fried rice, and a sushi roll...I can't remember the name now. Anyways crab rangoons were folded into like a flower/star shaped as opposed to the regular triangles. I've seen it folded like this before but I don't prefer it. It's like all the cheese is on one side and the wrapper on the other.....it's pretty though? The beef fried rice was pretty standard. Pretty good with fresh vegetables not frozen medleys. The sushi was pretty good. I think it was the best part of the meal. With that said it still was pretty standard, a little pricey I believed it was about 13 dollars for that one roll. Overall it was your typical americanized chinese restaurant that added sushi to expand their horizons. Good standard food, however service was HORRIBLE. She came and checked on us repeatedly and the SECOND we were done with a plate she'd come clear it. She even tried to clear my soup that i wasn't done with, but I just gave in and told her to take it. I thought that maybe there were people waiting to be seated and that she was trying to rush us along, but nope when we walked out no one was waiting.... read more

Sorry China Sky, your food arrived quick and hot but not great. We got a lot of stuff and it was expensive order so il lost what was and wasn't good. Also side note I really hate celery and/or onions in my crab Rangoon why don't restaurants list that? I don't get mad I just don't order it otherwise it's a waste because I will not eat it. Anyway here goes: Chicken fingers - star of the show, excellent flavor, crispy and full of tender white meat General Tso chicken - really good, maybe a little light on the sauce but crispy and flavorful. My beef with this was portion size for price - the lunch size for $14.95 had about 7 chunks of chicken. Sesame spare ribs - just don't - the sauce was weird and had kind of an alcohol taste and you had to be so careful chewing because there either really hard pieces of griddle or bones left in the chunks - we each ate 1 and threw it out Crab Rangoon - established above I do not like it with celery / onion but my husband loves both and said it was the onioniest he had ever had and he hated them Lo mein - I know plain lo mein is boring but never this morning and mushy and just blah. My husband got the chicken lo mein and said the same thing. No chicken teriyaki? Not sure we will give another try, but I will say even though it wasn't to our liking everything seemed very fresh. read more

We were looking for a place in Winchester for a celebration dinner. We found China Sky on Yelp, and we decided to try it. We like the ambiance. It has nice decor and background music. Very soothing. We asked for Chinese menu, but they did not really have one. We ordered miso soup, hot and sour seafood soup, twice sautéed pork, lamb in two styles. If you are looking for authentic Chinese, it is not the place for you. But the food was very good. All of the food except miso soup were supposed to be spicy, but they were very mild. But you can specify the spiciness. Service was very good. All and all we had a very enjoyable dinner. We recommend this restaurant. read more

Called in an order for pick-up.The restaurant was busy and it took a little longer for them to have the order ready. My adult daughter picked up the order and charged it to my credit card. The order totaled $70+.I didn't notice until the next day they had charged a 25% tip ($18+).This was unauthorized!When the restaurant was contacted the woman who answered was quite rude and offered no help. I FEEL THAT A TIP FOR A TAKE-OUT ORDER IS NOT IN ORDER. A 25% UNAUTHORIZED TIP IS JUST PLAIN SLEAZY, read more

After starting my Friday morning/afternoon off with ice cream (whoops) at Scoopalooza Creamery, I decided to get some 'actual' food for brunch. Having sweets on an empty stomach wasn't the best idea!! I was in the mood for something savory and piping hot. I ordered the garlic chicken with a side of vegetable fried rice and my boyfriend had the crispy sesame chicken with a side of vegetable fried rice for takeout. Because we ordered from their lunch special menu, our meals also came with a side of soup, so we chose the hot-and-sour one. My meal was pretty underwhelming. There was barely any flavor in the chicken- I couldn't taste the garlic at all! The sauce that came with the chicken didn't do much to the dish's entirety, either- it wasn't savory or remotely salty. The fried rice was also pretty bland and wasn't too enjoyable even when I added the soy sauce packet that was included in our take-out bag. Overall, I wasn't very pleased with my meal, but it was worth the try! ** (2.5/5 stars) [4/15/17 UPDATE]: I came here for a second time for an early Easter lunch. We had a table of about sixteen people, so we were seated at one side of the room and everyone had enough space. It didn't feel cluttered at all. The waitresses were accommodating, super kind, and attentive despite our large table. I had the vegetable udon, which was quite flavorful and had an abundance of fresh vegetables. The noodles were drenched in sauce and cooked just right. This was my first time actually dining in the restaurant and I appreciated its vibrant and intricate decor. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and the food this time around was better than the meal I ordered in July 2016 (see the review above). 4 stars! :- ) read more

Picked up chicken udon and won ton soup. Both were delicious! On street parking, is ample.

I'm not a big pro in Chinese food, but once a week I visit places with Chinese cuisine. China Sky goes to my favorite collection. If be honest, I was very surprised when I saw the plate of Chicken Cashew Nut. Firstly, the dish was served very nice. I wished to make a picture but I pounced on the "chicken" since I was very hungry. The place itself is very nice. For "$$" prices of google maps this is the best one I've ever been. If somebody go there definitely stop to get some great Chinese food. read more

It's hard to find a good quality Chinese restaurant for simple "American" favorites, and China Sky is definitely a good option! We really love their beef and broccoli, chicken and cashew nuts, and green beans. Overall, if you ask them to make it less salty they oblige. The only fault we found is that we don't love their Japanese cuisine, but sometimes that happens with pan-asian dining. Definitely check them out and they have fast delivery as well! read more

I live in The neighboring town to Winchester and I must say, it is so far the best pick up Chinese food I have eaten in the US. The food was very fresh and the portions were generous. It was also made quickly. Somebody put a thought in the presentation as well. We will order again. It was a good find. read more

Delicious food that the whole family can agree upon. My 3 year old loves the scallion pancakes and boneless spareribs. Very quick turnaround time, too, in my experience. read more

The food was okay but the service was horrible they pressured me into a 20 percent tip for 75 dollars!!

This place is awesome, the food is amazing! I had been advised to try it for months before I actually did and I'm sad I waited so long! The food is fresh and delicious! The fried rice is awesome, the ribs are so tasty, the egg rolls are fresh and crispy, I can't say enough good things! I'll keep going here for a long time to come! So so so DELICIOUS!!! read more

This is a classy Chinese restaurant with very friendly service from the beginning to the end and clearly loves big loud families enthusiastically. You're treated and welcomed like a person not a nuisance . The appetizers are extensive loved the cold noodles and a combination is $20 which is very reasonable . The crispy orange chicken referenced in the Boston globe was really tasty and included oranges . The beef dishes with snowpeas were praised as well. Theres a lunch special menu with dishes around $12 and no more very reasonable including Vegetarian. Clean restrooms , beautifully decorated authentic Chinese woodwork and rose vases with not obnoxiously bright lighting . If you want real Chinese definitely go here , far from you're 2am greasy microwaves Chinese joint ..Cat? read more

The Sky is good for a local place. What I like best is that it is clean -seems most any 'rant you go to has food and detritus remnants on tables, etc . But The Sky is VERY clean. The food is good and their sushi is fine. My only beef is the lack of beef. Very skimpy on the meat. This bums me out. Also, the menu is very tame -no pig intestines, blood cake, cow aorta, or frogs, etc., unfortunately, a far cry from Chinatown places. On the plus side, the plating is nice, e.g., radish flowers and attractive sundries, etc. Fresh flowers on the linen-clad tables. Also, the tiki drinks are cheap and actually contain detectable booze. Not much more to say... I give The Sky a basic three-star rating. I would recommend it if you are in 'da hood... read more

Food was excellent. We ordered a pick up for New Year's Eve and were extremely pleased with the service and delicious house fried rice, lo mein, vegetable spring rolls and teriyaki beef. The only suggestion I have for next New Year's Eve is an attendant outside to organize the line of customers for pick up. It was a bit confusing. They sent out text messages with time to pick up and a number, but we expected someone from the restaurant to be outside so that we would be informed. Some of the people in line were rude and yelling at other customers to get in the back of the line. That was unnecessary. But it will not deter us to go another time, probably not New Years Eve again unless it's better organized. read more

This is a restaurant in my town, been there many times and it is OK, not great. Tonight ordered takeout, paid with my info and my husband went to pick up. He came home very annoyed, says he will never go back. The woman at the desk gave him attitude because he didn't know my cell # (it's in his phone which he didn't have with him). Didn't want to give him the order but he finally prevailed. They didn't call me to confirm. NOT GOOD!! read more

Meh. The food was not awesome. The fried selections were underdone with sad & wan looking crab rangoon that were white on the bottom and only the crimped tops were golden. The same was true for the spring rolls. Even the lo mein lacked punch (as well as protein) and needed to be hit with some soy sauce to make it right. Hot & sour soup wasn't sour at all with the heat coming from chili pepper flakes instead of the traditional white pepper. Both white pepper and black vinegar lose its effect with heating up the soup, so a sprinkle and splash would be in order à la minute. Bottom line: We won't return any time soon when there are far better choices just as far away as this place. read more

Really good drinks for $14...lol. however, a word to your bartenders, as a former restaurant employee, NEVER ok to handle ice with your fingers. May not be coming back anytime soon as my old fashioned, while delicious, was infected with whatever was on the bartenders fingertips...GROSS!!! read more

Very tasty! China sky is a Chinese food restaurant Tucktaway in Winchester Center. From the outside it doesn't look that really interesting but when you walk in it is very elegant and well-kept. I have never spent much time in the dining room other than waiting for my takeout but from what I have seen from the lobby it is very nice. China sky was introduced to me by a friend who went there for specifically the Szechuan chicken a while back. I had order it to go and took it home. It was very delicious including peppers onions and other vegetables with chicken stirfry in a spicy sweet Szechuan sauce. It was for sure a sauce to crave. I had ordered it a few times but at some point they took it off the menu and only serve to Szechuan beef. Sometimes they would still make the sash one chicken for you but other times they would not. Suppose it depended on who is taking order and who is in the kitchen that day. Overall I really enjoyed this place while I lived in the area. When I'm around I would definitely go back. read more

I closed out the place last night at the sushi bar. Ate last call and ordered a beer, an app of hamachi pastrami, which came with purple and neon green pickles. The first time I ate Japanese pickles was on my 21st birthday,which was also Boy's Day in Japan , but I digress. Sushi sampler of 6 pieces expertly prepared, a vegetable dish if white asparagus , cauliflower, peppers , green peas in a most delicious broth. It was superb . I had a tofu Chocolate square on a plate dusted with what looked like a sloppy line of coke but was powdered sugar . Bill came to $99 pre tip. I would give if a five if I had more time to explore the menu. I like to be wowed with things like hot clams in a bell jar still being smoked by a bonsai wood fire of cedar, for ex. read more

Hidden gem I have found staying north of Boston for work. Over the last few weeks I have probably ordered five meals, all different. The food always arrived early, and it's safe to say the hottest (temperature) delivery I have ever eaten. Which is great. Food is always very good. I've found favorites but it depends on your preferences. Give this place a try!!! read more

Pork fried rice tasted like smoke. It was really really bad as if everything was burnt.

While some of the China Sky dishes are very good, others are not. We have been eating in, or taking out, from this restaurant for a number of years. Most of the time, we just do takeout. So, when I go in to pick up the order, every single time the young ladies at the front desk are exceptionally cold and indifferent. No 'hello.' No 'thank you.' No, smile. Nothing. They just act like emotionless robots, process the order quickly and get you the hell over with. This has happened so many times that we now expect this. The manager or owner should have a conversation with these front desk women and get them straightened out about polite customer service and what is expected in that role. read more

The teriyaki beef was really good. The boneless pork ribs were good. The crab rangoon was good. Period. The egg drop soup could have been a bit thinner and more chicken flavor but not bad. The rest of my meal was uneventful and lacked flavor. That's the thing that I missed after spending nearly $100 on take out. I wouldn't say it was bad but it wasn't great either. It needs some salt and seasonings. Sweet chili sauce couldn't help the flavorless offer I got. I gave this 3 stars, one for each of the things I did enjoy. Such a good opportunity to shine with some, any, flavor gone undone! This is my last order because Grub Hub charges a higher price for the menu items than the restaurant does by a crazy amount, then charge a service fee on top. The driver never let me know he dropped off the food so it sat on my porch for I don't know how long until my mailman mentioned the bag to me. I said I didn't want drop and run. They missed out on a cash tip too by not letting me know the food was there. Too bad. It was a good tip too. read more

Came to this restaurant for a baptism celebration. The restaurant has a great area set up for functions. There was enough room that the space did not feel tight and was perfect for a large group. They provided so many delicious appetizer that I was full before the meal was served. The food was very good and I would definitely come here again. Parking is available but it can be difficult to find a spot if busy. read more

This restaurant was exquisite. Now exquisite is usually not a word widely applied to Chinese food. Chinese food, at least in America, is just yummy and greasy. This place however had excellent service, good decor and a delightful menu. Unusual for chinese, they had a few lamb dishes, and lamb done two ways was perfect. Lamb mixes well with the veggies and sauces. Their seafood hot pot was also amazing, with huge suculent shrimp and chunks of lobster meat. Their chilli sauce was not just spicey but also fragrent and thick. The place also serves sushi although we did not have any. China Sky puts many chinatown eateries to shame. read more

Don't let the typical Chinese restaurant name fool you. China Sky is anything but typical it is probably one of the nicest and cleanest Chinese restaurant I've been to. A clean restaurant starts off with 5-stars in my book! Before jumping to the deductions I want to point out the staff is very friendly and helpful from the moment you walk when you are greeted by the hostess to your last rice morsel. The tables are covered with white table cloths and it is probably considered fancy for a Chinese restaurant. Prices are on the more expensive side but it is well worth it. During our last meal there we had: the Hunan Beef, pan-fried beef with a flavorful brown sauce and veggies, Nabe Yaki Udon (did I mention they have Japanese fare as well?), and Hot and Sour soup. Everything was very tasty, the Nabe Yaki Udon was bland but I didn't mind it since that is how I like my soup. I would recommend their Chinese food over the Japanese food since I don't think Japanese food is their specialty. Now the only reason why China Sky did not get 5 stars is because they serve American-Chinese food. It's hard to find authentic Chinese food outside of Chinatown. I'm sure their Chinese-Chinese food would be just as tasty so it's almost perfect. 4-Stars! read more

We ordered take out from China Sky during a holiday visit to my in-laws. The food was very good, but I was shell-shocked by the price. I was excited to see they had both Japanese and Chinese food on the menu since my family loves Chinese but won't set foot in a Japanese restaurant with me. So I ordered some sushi. I didn't think the sushi prices seemed that bad on the menu. Other sushi places I've been would charge $13 for a LARGE roll that was almost a meal in itself and $6 for a smaller roll, so I was okay with that at face value. I was very disappointed when I opened my dinner to find how small the rolls were. The maguro (tuna) was okay, but not great. I did NOT get my money's worth. Since I didn't get a meal out of the sushi, I had some of the Chinese food we ordered, too, and it was pretty good. My family had General Tso's Chicken and Crunchy Sesame Chicken and dumplings. In the end, I would eat here again because the food was good, but I wouldn't bother ordering any sushi. I'd just stick with the Chinese food family style. read more

I got some pretty tasty takeout from China Sky the other night, I called it in and it was ready in less than 20 minutes. This will be my go to Chinese joint in Winchester. The quality of the food is great and I would describe the restaurant as high end, as far as Chinese restaurants go anyway. You won't be disappointed with any of your favorite Chinese classics like scallion pancakes, crab rangoons, and chicken that would make General Gau proud. read more

China Sky - Takeout - Chinese Near Me - Winchester, Massachusetts

It's pricey, but the sushi is a surprisingly good value and most of the food is the quality you'd expect. No free soda refills? The waiter told us, I'm paraphrasing, that higher-end restaurants don't give free refills. Well excuse me. Morton's, No. 9 Park, etc. have all refilled my Coke/Pepsi for free. Are they not high end? We were craving chicken wings, but these were a huge disappointment. We'll skip them next time. No crunch at all. Fen Yangs on Main St. are way better. Would I come back? For sushi, yes. For Chinese food and soda pop, no. read more

This review is more 2.5 stars. Unfortunately, I think the quality of the food has gone down. Burned chicken wings, greasy spring roll, dried out boneless ribs, didn't like the low mein sauce. The won ton soup doesn't have any vegetables in it. No bok choy no mushrooms, no water chestnuts. They do have awesome fried rice. read more

It has to be tough to be a chef trained in one of the finest cuisines of the world and have to cater to the tastes of hordes of lo fan. I felt this was the case for the chef at China Sky. China Sky came highly recommended by a number of my colleagues. I went looking for exotic and found typical American Chinese. What we had was good but not exceptional. The one bit out of the ordinary was an asparagus soup, essentially egg drop with asparagus. read more

This is my go-to place in Winchester for Chinese food. This actual location has changed so many times, I still think "Max's" is there... But now - it's a real nice place. Very nicely decorated, well-staffed, real solid american-style chinese food. What do I mean by that? Are you white? You'll like it here. So far they have been doing very well here and I hope they stick around. read more

Only been here twice. Once when my brother got married and once last week. Both times were yummy. I'm a huge sushi fan but was planning on getting some chinese takeout. While scanning the menu I bump into two friends of mine and they invite over to sit with them at the sushi part of the restaurant. How could I say no? Spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll and my favorite white tuna sashimi. All yummy! Decor is very classic looking. Staff are friendly and efficient. Front door area where you pick up your take out or wait to be seated is organized chaos. My only piece of advice is don't go there looking like a slob. There's no dress code but patrons seem to all shop the haute coutures. read more
