Thank you, Cathy Corcoran

I ordered fried rice that was supposed to include meat and vegetables, but what we received was…read moreplain white rice that appeared to be reheated with vegetables mixed in. When we called to let them know we didn't receive fried rice, we were told that this was their version of fried rice and that they don't add soy sauce or hoisin sauce. Instead, we were told they simply heat white rice in the wok. What was most disappointing was the response. Rather than apologizing or offering to correct the order, we were told that we "should have known" this is how they make it. This is especially frustrating since we've ordered from them many times in the past and their fried rice was always made with sauces and had the expected flavor and color. Authentic fried rice is cooked with sauces that give it both taste and color, so this explanation didn't sit right with us. After being a near-weekly customer, this experience was enough to lose us. We won't be ordering again--especially now that a new Chinese restaurant has opened in Manchester.

It's hard to believe the school years for my son are finally over. His recent high school…read moregraduation still feels like a dream. As the surrealism took its time to dissipate, we were left wondering where he would want to have his post celebratory dinner. And so...You You Japanese Bistro was chosen. Upfront, I'll say this place has mad potential. In fact, there was really only one thing that I didn't enjoy all that much (and we'll get to that). But rest assured, there are far more positives than negatives about this place. We've already got it earmarked for a future date night spot, if that tells you anything. Tom Yum Soup: I got this rendition with tofu, since it takes on whatever flavor it's infused with. Now, we've had Tom Yum broth at our favorite Hot Pot restaurant in Londonderry. Well, this one had a slightly spicier finish and, more importantly, better seasoning. We were pleasantly impressed! The spice takes some getting used to so, I'll give this one a 9 out of 10; would highly recommend! Surf n' Turf Roll: I'm pretty sure this one was a special or something because it's not anywhere on the regular menu. Regardless, this one was surprisingly tasty! I've honestly never had sushi with beef in it before. But this one definitely worked! I don't really have any complaints about it so....10 out of 10. Lobster Salad Roll: Now, I actually prefer this one to the previous roll; mainly because I'm a seafood freak. Simple, yet highly palatable and refreshing. It's basically lobster meat rolled with various vegetables and rice, of course. Pairs cleverly with soy sauce. 10 out of 10. Fried Japanese Rice with Shrimp: Here's where dinner slightly derailed for me. I didn't know what exactly to expect here since everyone's version of fried rice varies. I'll tell you what I DIDN'T expect though--a lack of flavor. This rice was tragically bland with some of the tiniest shrimp I've seen in a while. Moreover, the shrimp themselves appeared to be steamed rather than pan seared (I'm partial to grilled personally, but that's neither here nor there). It was okay, but definitely not worth a revisit. I'm sorry. But if I can make better fried rice at home, that's an instant 'L' for me. 4 out of 10; would not get again. In hindsight, I really should have tried the Tempura Shrimp with Vegetable Rice. At least white rice is innocuous enough not to screw up. Probably. Eh, like I said - we shall return one day. Also, major kudos for the outstanding service coupled with the fact they leave BOTH regular and low sodium soy sauce as well as chopsticks on the table. Seriously, why can't more Asian restaurants be like this? You You Japanese Bistro gets 4 Lobster Salad Rolls crafted with care out of 5.

Happy Chef is a lowkey Chinese takeout restaurant under new ownership, located in the former Canton…read moreGarden on Kelley Street. The place is order at the counter or at the touchscreen kiosk nearby. There are a few tables here if you wish to eat in. The menu offers most of the usual suspects of a Chinese food menu including all day combination dinners, Happy Chef suggestions, pu pu platters, soups, meat & vegetable dishes. After work, I decided to stop by Happy Chef for takeout after seeing the great reviews. I haven't been to this location in a long time since it was Canton Garden, which was not great and I heard some strange stories of that place from a coworker who lives in this neighborhood (Rimmon Heights). Anyways, I ordered the Combo No 8: Eggplant with Shrimp, Chicken Fingers, Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Lo Mein ($15.95 plus tax), which was all set in under 10 minutes. I was also given a free gift of crab rangoons too. I headed home to enjoy the food. The combo dinner portions were pretty good. The Chinese Eggplant was very soft with 6 tender shrimp (cleaned) in a sweet hot oily sauce. The 2 battered chicken fingers with white meat chicken came with cups of duck sauce. The grilled marinated chicken teriyaki stick was tender and firm. The lo mein had sauteed boneless chicken pieces, carrot, cabbage, onion & sprouts tossed with soft noodles, oily texture. The 5 fried crab rangoons were crispy, filled with a soft cheese & imitation crab mix. I actually finished all of the hot & tasty food since I was hungry. I will definitely be ordering more food from the Happy Chef very soon. Happy Chef is now one of my favorite Chinese places in Manchester.

Let me preface this review by saying that I have lived most of my life in Boston, Chicago, and NYC…read more Chinese food in these cities is legendary. Since moving to Amherst, NH 5 years ago, my wife and I have tried several places locally and have been disappointed every time. Golden Palace was on my radar as I frequent the hardware store in the same plaza. It always looked like it was closed so I never gave it much thought. On 5/17/26 we had a friend at the house and he recommended we try this place. He told us a few years ago that it was pretty good...... We arrived around 4pm. All of the lights were off except in the very front of the restaurant. There were 3 teens at a table but no one else in sight. There was a young, friendly girl at the counter. She asked if we wanted to be seated but we were only getting takeout. While looking at the menu for about 10 minutes with my wife putting our order together, not a single person came in and not a single phone order. We considered leaving as this place seemed a little shady, but we placed our order anyway giving it a chance. Nothing fancy. One entree and a PUPU platter with a large pork fried rice. My wife commented on the way home that it smelled really good, and I agreed. We got home, unpacked it, and took our first bites. I noticed the fried rice had a fishy, like low tide fishy, taste but didn't say anything. She took her first bite and said the same to me. The appetizers had ZERO flavor and were just slightly undercooked and not very crispy. The Szechuan beef was ok. Very tender but lacking in overall flavor. Neither of us ate very much. Just enough to not be hungry anymore. Disappointed at best. It cost us $63 to basically feed the resident opossum in our yard. We won't be back.
