The other day I tried a longstanding Chinese food staple in Leominster. I did not enjoy it at all…read more I decided to try this place but I'm keeping my expectations extremely low to avoid being upset. This place is located smack dab in the very busy intersection of Main Street and Prospect street which is right next to Main Street + Nashua Street + Hamilton Street intersection. It gets really busy and I don't enjoy driving here. If you make it to the lot, it's large and spacious and you should have zero problems finding a spot. The interior is minimal, similar to other Chinese food joints that are mostly meant for takeout. If you do opt to eat in, there are 3 sets of booth tables available along with several seats set to the side if you really want to push the capacity and have someone sit at the open face of the table. I made a large order here and had my fingers crossed that at least half of it would taste ok. Pu Pu Platter(2) ; this is a lot of food. But it's also $31. Worth it? Egg rolls, chicken fingers, chicken wings, beef teriyaki skewers, fried shrimp, and boneless spareribs. I found all of the food unremarkable. I don't mean that as a dig or a complaint - it literally tastes so similar to many places, especially like China Wonder in Fitchburg. Peking Garden definitely has the win on Crab Rangoons, but China Wonder wins on Beef Teriyaki. Some people told me the boneless spare ribs were amazing, but I didn't have that reaction. Overall, an adequate choice. Coconut Shrimp ; I am a fiend for coconut shrimp and it's funny that every place does it very differently. This one has coconut shavings on top and a very thin sauce almost like they just poured in coconut milk and called it a day. The taste is.. tolerable, but man the batter on the shrimp was NOT it. Thickly coated and the inner batter contacting the shrimp was not cooked all the way. Unpleasant texture from the batter and bizarre taste from the sauce; I scraped off all of the batter after a few pieces and just forced myself to finish the dish. Not recommended. Crispy Orange Chicken ; this was the only standout of my order. the batter on the chicken actually managed to be a little crispy which is rare for this dish genre. the taste was on point - sauce was not nauseatingly sweet or overpowering, and nothing was annoyingly soggy. this dish is definitely worth trying if you're craving for a typical General Gao's/Tso/orange chicken dish. Man, I am 0 for 3 with Leominster Chinese food. I think I will keep my money in Fitchburg since China Wonder and Gold Bowl have never done me dirty like this.

Large complex in the thick of a major cluster of restaurants and shopping centers in Leominster,…read moreright off Route 2. Their features include an all-day Sunday buffet, a hibachi room, a lounge, a semi-private room, bands on weekends, comedy on Wednesdays, trivia on Thursdays, and combination plates available at lunch and dinner. Reviews here don't respect the food here, but I think a) it's definitely nowhere near elite, b) it's gotten somewhat of a bad rap, and c) it seems to be improving. Much of it depends on what you order and whether it's from the buffet. -- Sunday Buffet: The number of stations has dwindled from 3 to 2 (plus a dessert area), but that actually helps with the turnover, which is critical for a buffet. Many of the items are either bland or have been sitting a while, but I can always find 2 or 3 items that still make it worth it. And at $20.95 for both quantity and variety, a very good value. -- Hot and Sour Soup: Thick but not gloppy, and a very pleasant mouthfeel and spiciness. -- Lobster Sauce: More great mouthfeel, plenty of gentleness and flavor, but much of that flavor is salt. -- Pork Fried Rice: Had on both combos and the buffet. Medium color, minimum flavor. -- Egg Rolls: Tried on the buffet and on combo plates. They're extra crisp, but still delicate and bendy, with a filling of mostly cabbage that's both crisp and moist. Pork and five spice flavor is very pronounced and very delicious. Even though I prefer a celery-based egg roll, this one is elite, bettering probably 80% of the celery versions out there. These are hand-made, not industrial. -- Sweet and Sour Chicken: The crisp fingers might be industrial. Not much meat or batter flavor, but the thin sauce has plenty, including a very sour component that outshines the sweet. That sauce is thinner than most, so while you lose the cling, you avoid a chemical tasting glop. Overall, good. Pro tip when having via the buffet: grab some pineapple chunks from the dessert station. -- Chicken Wings; From the buffet, these certainly look industrial (Weaver or Swanson), but they're actually pretty good if you settle into accepting that they're breaded and not the 5-spice-and-ginger kind. I'm on the fence. -- Peking Ravioli: Tried on the buffet. The Fireball-sized sausage in the center has some nice flavor, but the wrapper is too thick, stiff, and starchy for my liking. -- Teriyaki: Beef version tried on a combo, steaky but dry. Definitely needed the duck sauce for both moisture and flavor. Chicken teriyaki from the buffet was actually fresher and slightly juicy. -- Boneless Ribs: Thin, glazed with both red and clear, but ultimately a dry and needing the duck sauce. Some light char added a flavor dimension. -- Shrimp Fried Rice: Ordered as part of a combo, this arrived as a large pile, with fresh grains, not the darkest, but not lacking flavor. And definitely not lacking shrimp. I took a chance and this paid off hugely. Some good, some not so good, and some very good. Not enough good to get the 4, but no way is this a below-3 joint.

Small strip mall joint with over-the-counter ordering and a handful of tables. Many different lunch and all-day combination plate sections to choose from. Tried the following on two visits. Chicken Fingers (on a combo): Light, crisp batter. Typically low meat-to-batter ratio, but decent flavor. Average or possibly a bit below. Beef Teriyaki (on a combo): Nice tender texture with good moistness. Not much char or marinade flavor. Average. Boneless Ribs (on a combo): Good sized pile, thin strips, welcome char, generous glaze, good flavor, though some pieces dry. A little above average. Pork Fried Rice (on a combo): Hefty serving, good pork inclusions. Less of an old school Chinese joint flavor and more of a Rice-A-Roni feel, but good rice. So a little above average unless you're looking for a trip down memory lane. Chicken Wings (add-on to a combo): An extra $3.99 gets you two whole wings (equivalent to four pieces), a good deal. Breaded, but not the dreaded kind of hard shell breaded; these were light, flaky, crisp, and delicious, more along the lines of southern fried chicken. Pleasant flavor, though not five spice. Good juiciness to match the crunch. Well above average to near-elite. Sweet and Sour Chicken (on a combo): Similar construction as the fingers on a different combo, but much larger of piece and much higher of meat-to-batter ratio. Much more enjoyable. Fire engine red sauce on the side brought no fruit but a bit more tartness than most renditions of this sauce type. Overall, about average, but higher than average for an over-the-counter joint like this. Egg Roll (on a combo): Solid effort, with crisp shell and a cabbage interior that wasn't lacking flavor. Good crispness, good moistness. Above average. Chicken Wings (full order): Same impressive size, crispness, and juiciness as in the combo, with possibly more flavor. If you like a crunchy wing and don't mind the southern fried chicken batter, these are really good ones, even by sit-down joint standards. Well above average to near-elite. Pleasant experiences. Should really be a 3.5. Try the wings.

From the time they reopened after a brief closure about a year and a half ago, quality has been good--more at all star level than hall of fame level, but always good. But things recently took a step up. I learned they have a new chef. On my most recent lunch visit I went with a combo and an add-on of a side of lobster sauce. Sweet and Sour Chicken: Average size, average batter, but crisp and well-above-average meat-to-batter ratio. None of the typical separation of chicken from shell. This last part was a noticeable step up from previous visits, where the fingers have always been good, but not this good. Also, stepping up was the sweet-and-sour sauce, which was darker and more complex than the only-sweet fire engine red model I've come to expect. Very pleasing and near-elite. Pork Fried Rice: Fresh, fluffy, warm, and studded with fresh pork mini cubes, along with onion and egg. What it wasn't was dark and bold. Maybe I'm cursed with being too hard to please or cursed with a good memory of how many dozens if not hundreds of times I've been blessed by superbly darkened and flavored rice in the past. Despite not being dark enough to compete with the past, it competes well with the present competition, easily coming in above average. Egg Roll: Another item that's always been good, but today, very good. Warm, crisp, and a moist and crunchy blend of cabbage and celery, with some dots of pink. Well above average, this time flirting with near-elite. Lobster Sauce: I've had mixed experiences at Singapore with this dish, which has always been at least good but has varied in darkness, saltiness, and gloppiness. This time, as a whole order rather than on a combo, it came in with more whole black beans than typical, good black bean flavor, zero saltiness, zero glop, and more of a chestnut brown color than darkest near-black brown. A pretty good compromise; it's like they knew how far to ramp up the flavor and then stopped before it got out of hand, as can happen when lobster sauce starts looking like WD40. Near-elite. Very strong showing that's the best overall visit I've had there. I'm not sure how repeatable it is, but I plan to find out soon.

On this most recent visit, we dined in with about 10 of us. Our server was funny, quick, and attentive. I also had a side of crab rangoons and a single size of a scorpion bowl. Everything was excellent except for the beef teriyaki on a stick, it was unusually tough. Other than that, overall, the food and service was good. It's definitely still up there with one of my favorite Chinese spots in this area.

It was sort of organized chaos, but they eventually got the job done. a waitress walked by and asked if she could help, and I was like, yeah we're just waiting for one of these boots to get cleared up and she I don't wanna say reluctantly ran over there and cleared it up, but she did it and we were able to sit down. The girl that was supposed to seat us was probably her job more than the waitresses to bus the tables afterwards, but I told her I'd wait for a booth to be cleared and she seemed unaffected and just let us sit there while she went about her business, that's why I said the service sucked but I don't have any complaints about the food. It was all pretty good, the egg foo yung was good. you need to ask them for some more gravy, but it was good.

The appetizers were pretty routine: 2 each of shumai, peking dumplings, crab rangoon and one beef satay. The tempura shrimp mentioned on the menu was not served, but everything was tasty if not memorable. I expected more for our $15. My girl ordered the pad thai. It was okay, but needed more tamarind and was missing peanuts. Our server happily provided a bowl of peanuts. For authentic pad thai, I'll go to a Thai restaurant. A word about the people: our server was friendly and responsive, and we were greeted cheerfully. Our order took a reasonable amount of time to arrive. It wouldn't be fair to review the ambiance of an empty restaurant, so I'll just say the place was clean and the booth comfortable. I ordered the ma-la lamb specifically to get a plate of very spicy Sichuan style meat and it came dripping with hot oil and covered in chopped hot chilis. It was amazingly good. Not only was it at my limit for heat, I could taste all the flavor of the lamb as well as the other spices as my sinuses liquefied and my tear ducts leaked. I loved this dish. It was just as good reheated the next day. I think our experience here only scratched the surface of the menu.
