A few items eliminated from our order and ordered pork fried rice received white rice.

My best friend went this evening to pick up food. Another customer was trying to get the attention of a worker to tell them a ROACH crawling on the table in front of her! The wignored her and continued to cook. My bestie took off her shoe and smashed it on the table. She called me quite upset. She won't ever return. read more

Foliage on Main Street in East Haven makes great Chinese food, tasty and delicious, timely delivery, two thumbs up!

This restaurant always makes tasty food. They also allow for special orders and substitutions. That carries a lot of weight for me. Tonight i had chicken and cashews and it was delicious!! It's my go to take out joint in the area. read more

Foliage has really good tofu. I don't know how they cook it, but in any stir fry dish, it slaps (general tso's tofu, for example). Their "health food" menu is also good, and they don't fry anything--the tofu and vegetables, though pretty plain, come with a good sauce and the vegetables are well cooked. Very quick service. Recommend for takeout. read more

Went here once with a friend about 15 or 16 years ago. I have no idea who I went with, and I don't remember what I ate, but I decided it was time to go back. I ordered my usual: General Tso's tofu and Szechuan Tofu. I parked down a nearby street, ordered, then went back to my car to read until the food was ready. First of all, this was some of the best General Tso's tofu I've had in quite some time. It was a lighter-colored sauce, almost golden yellow, as compared to the dark maroon or brown General Tso's sauce most places serve. It was great! The Szuchuan tofu was great as well, though slightly less memorable. I haven't been served Chinese food in a box in a long time, so I took a picture because it looked hecka photogenic to me. The food was great! Will definitely go back to Foliage! read more

They're good compared to the rest of the Chinese restaurants in the area, but compared to the best, something is lacking. Good flavor is definitely present, but Its the little details that I look for that restrains a 4 star rating. I like vegetables, so to get a general tso's lunch with only 2 little pieces of broccoli was disappointing and the fried wontons were just a hair overcooked, but still tasty and edible. The sweet and sour sauce tasted ok, but was watery. The several times I've been here, they always come close to what I enjoy, but always seem to miss the mark. read more

After moving here from NYC where I have Chinatown and Flushing, Queens' chinatown, I was hesitant to try a local take out place. But I drive past this place a lot and finally I was craving some Chinese spare ribs. So i decided to try them out. Not bad. Not bad at all. My spare ribs were marinated and the meat fell off the bone and they weren't dripping in sauce. I've had meatier ribs but these definitely passed my "rib" test. I also ordered moo shoo pork and again: very good. It's nice to know there's a place nearby that will hit the spot next time I'm in the mood for chinese. I didn't want to deal with delivery because I was really hungry so I picked it up myself. Ten minutes from my phone call. Hurray. read more

They have the best Chinese Eggplant & Garlic sauce. They are very friendly coul use A facelift . But you must try it very addicting.

I recently ordered 2 quarts of wonton soup delivered because I was ill. It totaled $11 plus .77 tax. They charged my account $18.95! When I complained they nickeled and dimed me $1 for using credit card, enormous tip. Absolutely ridiculous. They're supposedly going to give me $2 back. Don't go there. They don't disclose hidden fees or even give you a receipt. read more

after many delivery orders, we have NEVER had a bad meal from here. Our go-to is fried wonton and egg rolls with our meals and they are always delicious-crispy, not oily and very tasty. Online ordering is easy, delivery is fast and reliable. Food containers are packed solid, price points are reasonable and good for 3-4 meals. read more

Worst meal ever tonight ,: started off with owner mad I wouldn't pay cash so wack me $.75 to use my card which I have for years , the teriyaki chicken on a stick was so dry it was stuck to the stick and hard to even chew , threw it away $7.50 wasted the rice was crunchy and flavorless the beef was dried out and old never again , one word for tonight's dinner . Eeeewwww read more

I have gotten my chinese food from Foliage for as long as I've lived in East Haven. They have awesome food, very fast delivery, and are extremely friendly. And as a plus... they are very easy to understand over the phone. I am sure we've all had an experience calling for delivery food (from anywhere, really) and you are faced with a person who you can't understand! Rest assured, that won't happen with Foliage. Plus, the guy knows us by name, always gives us free soda and anything we need. I will be devout to Foliage for as long as I am in the area. Oh, but they did recently begin only accepting cash. It threw me off at first, but as long as you know and prepare to have some on hand, you'll be all set. read more

"Best food in town since 1983?" Easy there, Anthony Bourdain. Hard to justify a statement like that when you're running a Chinese slop trough in East Haven. But considering its purpose in the world, it's a good hole-in-the-wall joint. They've always been quick, that's for sure. And everything I've ever ordered there has at least been decent, especially the pork lo-mein, which is delightfully salty with copious amounts of tasty red pork.... not that flavorless, rubber band-esque shredded pork you find in many such specimens of its ilk. "The basic chicken and broccoli was swimming in dark sauce." Uh, yeah, would you like fries with that? You knew what you were getting into... Chinese Takeout - America's favorite repository for salty, sugary sauces served in excess over poor quality meat at bargain prices. This ain't P.F. Chang, it's U.R. Poor'n'hungry. And so, if you find yourself hungry and short on cash in East Haven, it's decent Chinese, and the prices are great. My pint of lo mein was $4! read more

Best food in the town. We been to foliage Chinese food for years. Chicken broccoli very delicious and owner so nice. Highly recommend this place. read more

Delicious! Great value and quick delivery...try the chicken w/garlic sauce...really good

Im soo disappointed they used to be good ! Im writhing this review because they have screwed my order soo many times im DONE with them . this time i order pepper steak with out peppers and for them to add shrimp . they gave me onions with a little bit of steak. I understant they probably weight the meat and by me not wanting the peppers they probably would've had to add more meat to fill container well NO thay added as much onions possible! I would've prefer to have less food and not to open an container full of onions! And ofcourse they forgot to add the shrimp. read more

Foliage Chinese Restaurant - I askd for peper steak without peper in they send me this literally unions with steak i kid you not look at that! Stingy !! - Chinese Near Me - East Haven, Connecticut

Delicious food. The General Tso's, spring rolls, dumplings, and chow fun were all excellent. The spring rolls were more like egg rolls (which doesn't bug me at all, they were so good) and the portions were huge. read more

The food was too salty and but other than that it was ok. There was hair in the white rice which I didnt appreciate but wasnt surprised because they wear no head gear when cooking. read more

Foliage Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - East Haven, Connecticut

Food is OK china sea in west haven is better, nd delivery person is horrible no manners nd demanded for a tip, I was gonna give him one but then choose not to nd told him to leave ... read more

If you are in East Haven and want some Chinese food this place will do! The pork lo mein has big pieces of pork in it which is a nice change from the cubes you normally get. The staff is really friendly and there is a $10 min for cards. Will go again if I'm in the area. read more

They're more deserving of 3.5 stars, but until Yelp steps up their half star game, three will have to suffice. Better than average Chinese food, plus they deliver which is like finding a needle in a haystack around here. My out of town friends are always shocked when they suggest delivery on lazy movie nights. HA! Delivery?! New Haven County problems. Anyway, it's typical Chinese food. It's better than most other places, and it's consistent. Whenever I get any kind of fried rice, I always request it spicy, however their version of spicy almost requires a trip to Yale due to third degree pepper induced burns. Ouch! Just stick with hot sauce, or proceed with caution. I've never had a problem with delivery. I've had them deliver to various locations in New Haven, and all the way to the other side of East Haven (Foxon) without any issue. Delivery has always been quick (in rain, shine, blizzard, you name it. Do Chinese take out places ever close? I've ordered from them during historic weather and they act like it's a gorgeous fall day outside.) and service is friendly. I don't eat Chinese frequently, but Foliage is definitely in my mental take out list. read more

2nd time I have attempted to order from them. The 1st time they forgot 1/2 the order and tonight we ordered we were told 45 min, when a little over an hour went by I called to see where the driver was and was told 5-8 min longer, waited 15 min longer, still no order, called AGAIN to cancel and was hung up on read more

FOOD POISONING. Food seemed ok until I remembered how one of the guys had dirt under his fingernails, and my girlfriend went through 3 days of solid puking and other unpleasant bodily functions after eating at this wretched place. I will not only not go back, I shamelessly advise people to not go to this place. read more

Honestly, i was drunk when i ordered so this review might not be perfect, but the food came quickly and it was exactly what i expected while being totally reasonably priced. would order again! read more

I just moved to the area and tried Foliage after reading reviews here. It was great! The place is very clean and busy. I picked up some favorites - shrimp-fried rice, wonton soup and the spare ribs. All excellent! I will be coming here again. read more

I'm I glutton for pain. I have an MSG sensitivity, & even with all the pain & discomfort that comes form it I still find my self craving the egg foo young, pork to be exact. the crab Rangoon is also so good. I say 2 thumbs way up. read more

I am from south Florida and haven't found a place that has good Chinese food until I went here! The store doesn't look like anything special but the food is absolutely delicious. And the staff is super friendly and caring. I will highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone who ask where's a good place to eat. Keep it up! read more

They always give me great service and food! I've been going to them for years!! I recommend them to anyone! Great location, decent parking, good prices! Service with a smile! read more

Food is always great, plenty of flavor. Staff are always pleasant to deal with.

Good food, but never tell them they forgot something from your order. They will tell you "you're wrong". I ordered chicken teriyaki on a stick, which they DID NOT put in my carry out. I called them out and they totally questioned me. Told me the lady that packed my food put it in the box. I was literally going to return all my food and get my money back. Customer is always right. In the end they all went into the office and looked at the security camera, and guess what! I got my chicken teriyaki on a stick. Apparently they have cameras on the workers who put the carry out food in boxes. Did not appreciate the third degree. Only went here once. Which stinks, because they are very good and close to my house. read more

They are a rip off. I order two meals one was broccoli and pork fried rice and one with chicken wings with white rice. My friend doesn't like chinese food. Now I paid twenty bucks and got the brocoli and chicken and rice and fried chicken wings with no white rice. I call and say they forgot it (mind you the order says I asked for white rice). The boy tries to find out what happened and says I paid 8 bucks for just the wings. The lady in the background is yelling and complaining because I said well when I ordered it as a meal you didnt say anything and you wrote it down. They hung up. Never again... PS took a bite into the chicken and the inside was bleeding. Took pictures ... Do Not Eat Here! read more

The exterior is dingy and unkempt in appearance. The part of East Haven that Foliage inhabits is run-down and unpleasant. Parking is difficult at best. The food on the other hand is great. Nothing wrong with it. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I've been regularly ordering from Foliage for 10 years and it has never let me down. This is not a gourmet Chinese food experience, but it is a good stable take out level Chinese place. If you have a hankering for Chinese food and you find yourself in East Haven, this is the one that should be contacted. Good value, large portions, speedy service. I always order by phone and then pick up myself. It's just easiest that way. read more

Great place. They really try to care for customers. They are polite, generous with the amount of food they give. Any day of the week so far. Couple issues in the past but noyone is perfect. read more

The food at this restaurant is great. The delivery is about 30 to 45 minutes and the delivery people are always friendly and polite.

Hands down the best chinese food (take out) in East Haven. I wouldn't recommend delivery b/c it could take a while. If you have the option, I would pick it up. It will be much fresher when you get it home. read more

Worst delivery service in the area. Took 2 hours and 12 mins to get our food. Called after 90 mins to make sure our order was coming and was hung up on. This is not the first time. Happened a month ago. That was only 90 mins wait. We figured that was probably a fluke and give another try. Nope. NEVER AGAIN. Plus, both times half the order was WRONG. read more

This is an amazing little restaurant which has the best Chinese food in the area. I lived in New Haven for many years and had lots of Chinese food. When we moved to EH, it was a great surprise to find this place after a trying a couple of others that were terrible. by the way I found it because of the reviews here and tried it. It is so good we serve it to friends who also are impressed. We always use delivery and it is freshly cooked. They call from the car and then bring it to the door. Great shrimp rolls, and the shrimp anything has large fresh shrimp in it. read more
