I was craving Chinese food and decided to try something different from my usual spot. I found this place on Yelp, read through the reviews, and it seemed like the locals really enjoyed it. They claim it's the best Chinese restaurant in the area, so I thought I'd give it a shot. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted promptly. I ordered the chicken wings and reached for my debit card, but it's cash only. Luckily, there's a bank next door, so I withdrew some money from the ATM. While waiting for my food, I noticed a steady stream of people coming and going. It took about fifteen minutes to get my wings, and I appreciate that they seem to cook their wings fresh. The wings were a good size, with five pieces on the plate. When I took a bite, I noticed the skin was crispy, and the seasoning was spot on. However, when I bit into the chicken, I could see the grease. The meat itself was tasty, but I wasn't a fan of the excess greasiness. The service was friendly, and despite how busy it was, it's clear that people really like the food here. I might pass on the chicken next time, or maybe I'll give them another shot on a different day. read more

We stopped here for takeout after getting our tree from Jones. We are so happy to have finally found a good Chinese spot. We live in Woodbridge, but would gladly make the drive when the want for Chinese takeout hits! We had the general chicken, chicken and broccoli platter, egg drop soup and crab Rangoon. Our on "complaints" were I wish the Rangoon came with sweet and sour dipping sauce and my husband wishes the chunks of his general chicken were smaller. Flavor was great on everything, portions are generous and it travelled well on the drive home! It was also impeccably clean in the restaurant which is always a plus. read more

Food is Amazing, clean and friendly! When I'm in the mood for NY style Chinese food, this is my go to!!

Go to local Chinese food in Shelton. Finding good Chinese takeout in CT is a challenge, this is the best option in the area. Cash only! Orange chicken extra spicy and beef lo mein are my go to with a wonton soup on the side. Lunch special is a great value. Friendly and quick service. Great location if you need to pickup anything from the grocery store or packy. read more

Updating my review after 5 years. This is this the family goto for takeout Chinese for over 25 years. Food is always great and always consistent in the portions and tastes. They kept going through the pandemic and even now. We just returned from a week away and our first thought was to get takeout as soon as we were home. read more

Well made Chinese food at a good price. The food is hot at pickup and the staff is friendly. A word of caution, they only accept cash and checks for payment. read more

This was my go to for many years. Original owners were in Monroe and later moved to Shelton. They ran a top notch takeout service with quality food. Now, different owners, and food is horrific. So disappointing. Poor quality. Recipes have changed. I've been getting chinese takeout for over half a century and Chinatown Shelton was one of the better ones. No more. Go elsewhere. Again, so disappointing... read more

very good service, food always great, fast service, tasty, generous servings . We order food at least once weekly, love the various soups...

I ordered a meal last week online, paid for the order but received a message that the order was cancelled. Very disappointing. I may or may not order again. read more

Not a fan. This may be great food in Shelton but I'm sadly disappointed. We ordered here based on recommendations and didn't find the food anything special. The simple items like sweet and sour chicken was nicely made and more chicken than breading but spicier dishes lacked spice I was expecting. Maybe I ordered incorrectly based on what they specialize in. read more

Probably the best Chinese takeout I've had in the area. Awesome, friendly service, fresh tasting food, and huge portions. The order was executed perfectly, even my special requests. Tip: if you want medium spicy, ask for SPICY. I asked for medium and it was undetectable. But still so delicious!!! read more

Hit or miss since they left Monroe. Tonight was a big miss. Sweat & Sour Chicken coating was dark brown like dirty oil as I cut the chicken I noticed how slimy it was. It was also soft and mushy as I took it out of the container. That's the last of my money they will take. read more

Love this place best Chinese cooking I've had in Connecticut remind me of New York Chinese takeout

I decided to try this place as I was shopping at the IGA across the lot. Cash only, unfortunately I had some. I ordered the Pork Lo Mein and the Pepper Steak with Onion lunch specials. Each comes with Pork Fried Rice. The quantity was good for the price, but each dish was remarkably bland, even the fried rice. I won't return because there are too many places that are much better. read more

Take it from someone who's been getting the food here since they were located in Monroe, this is the best Chinese food that you'll have in Connecticut probably. I'll name my favorites for you. The crab rangoons are amazing. I think I could eat three orders by myself and they give you a lot for the price. The chicken and broccoli is also some of the best I've ever had. I love the garlic flavor in their sauce and the chicken always had the perfect thinness to it. The orange chicken and the sweet and sour chicken are also on the must have list. No body compares to these guys. Fair warning they only take cash but for all I know they could've changed it by now. read more

The BEST chinese takeout I've found in CT, I've been a customer of theirs since 1990 when they had a place in Monroe. My favorites are the Moo Shu Pork and the General Tso's Chicken (both excellent, a bit of spice can be found in those dishes, which is often lacking at other Chinese takeout places). I always drop in when going by on route 110, they serve such excellent chinese takeout that I just can't resist. read more

Very good! I've been coming here for about 11 years and haven't been disappointed much. Rarely I'll get an undercooked egg roll or that sticky rice, but not often. read more

I had the vegetable lo mein with egg drop soup. Soup was fresh and delicious. Sometimes bad egg drop is overly yellow and gooey; Golden China's was light and fresh with lots of egg!!! The lo mein did not disappoint. The small portion is actually quite large. They did not skim on the vegetables. Good price. Nice staff. Clean restaurant. We asked for crispy noodles which were fresh, and mustard. My husband had the cashew chicken combo, came with an egg roll. Very large portion. Great price. He really enjoyed it. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Favorite place in town. We eat here weekly! Spring rolls are amazing, as is the fried rice. We love the sesame chicken. Food is always fresh and hot. Pick up and cash only, but totally worth it. read more

Food was hot and very good. No credit cards is annoying. Have not been there in years since they or another owner used to put ginger in everything. Not this time and entire meal was delicious. Staff friendly and huge order was correct. Would definitely get takeout their again read more

Chinatown Kitchen has provided many a delish meal for my family. We usually get pork fried rice, shrimp and vegetable extra spicy and mushroom egg foo yung. It's always very satisfying. Tonight we ordered shrimp in black bean sauce also. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. Nothing was too salty. This place is only 2 miles and there's no need to go any further for good Chinese. read more

Placed an order that was about 10 items and half of them were wrong, and each wrong item was more expensive than what was originally ordered. If the order is incorrect, I don't care how good the food is. read more

Consistently good food. Large portions. And decent value. Orders are accurate and the checkout people are always friendly. My vote for best take out in Shelton read more

You really can't get much better chinese takeout in the area, and for a great price too.

I instantly latched onto this Chinese restaurant once I heard it was moving from Monroe to Shelton. Even better - it's located less than 10 minutes from my home! My family and I have never had a bad experience here. Service is very quick and accurate. I have never had a mistake in the three dozen times I have ordered food. There is only one table to eat at if you choose to eat your meal inside. I would guess 99% of people order out like me. Fridge with a basic selection of beverages if you choose to eat inside or pick something up to enjoy with your meal. I am pretty picky when it comes to Chinese food because of food allergies, but everything I have ordered has been pretty good. Wonton soup is always still boiling hot by the time you get it home and super comforting. General tsos chicken is always great but not as spicy as I would like. Egg rolls are pretty basic but still good. Pork fried rice is basic... only pork, onion and bean sprouts. I would personally like more veggies in my fried rice. Fried dumplings from the appetizer section are a meal on their own. For the price and portion size, I always seem to come back here at least once a month. Mostly out of location convenience and when a Chinese craving arises, I always come here. read more

Great food and good price. Chicken broccoli is the best. Definitely Will be back. Thank you for the great food and service.

Chinatown has the best Chinese food in the area! Their egg rolls are fantastic and the combo platters , especially the shrimp with garlic sauce, are great! read more

Can't go wrong with the boneless ribs or general zhos there. Egg rolls are great and customer service is amazing there is awesome. Such a friendly place to go and a great place to eat read more

Good Lord what happened to this place?? Just got off phone with mother and the whole conversation was about the chinese food we had last few times from Chinatown and how horrible it has become. Husband had same thought last night while eating the orange chicken. It was hard and chewy!! Not sure what it was but didnt look nor taste like chicken! The roast pork low mein had a dirty greasy oily taste that made me feel sick and noodle was mushy. My mother said she felt a huge glob of something jelly-like in a bite of her chow mein that made her feel like throwing up lol. Thought this should be read. You can thank me later. Blergh. read more

Best Chinese food around hands down. There isn't one thing that isn't good there and the staff there is great!

Ordered the Shrimp and Mixed Vegetable Combination. The shrimp wasn't cooked enough and we nuked it a bit when we got home. For some reason Celery comprised ninety percent of the veggies. Chunks almost as big as my hand. And why no onion, broccoli, pepper or corn? A little light on seasoning too. The Wonton soup was good but the eggroll not so much. read more

Great local Chinese take out - a real hidden gem in White Hills. Just make sure to bring cash or a checkbook because they don't take credit cards. read more

My family has been going to this Chinese restaurant since they were located near us in Monroe years and years ago. Absolutely the best around. We still only get our Chinese takeout from here even though it is now a farther drive. It is excellent food. I've done a bit of traveling in the past few years and still have never found food that compares to this place. Quick service, delicious, wonderful staff. read more
