    General Taos chicken, chicken fingers, rice, lol mein

    I bought some food here last night for the first and LAST time! This food tasted horrible! We only tasted it and BOTH got a horrible stomach ache! I took the food back to them! I was trying to tell them quietly that the food was off. They would NOT even listen to me about something being WRONG with the food! They kept trying to say that I ate the food. If you look at the picture, you can see I did not! I love Chinese food I would never throw away all this food! The food was disgusting and the way they treated me was even more disgusting!!! If I could give them a ZERO rating I would! I told him that I was going to rate him and he chuckled at me! I guess they don't care about what their customers think. I left him the food because there was no way I was going to eat this! So, I I'm out $30 and left with a very upset stomach!

    I would not normally have chosen this spot were it not for a local Yelp friend who has frequented this restaurant for many years. How nice when you are trying a new place for the first time to have your expectations not only met but exceeded. It was not terrible busy when I entered; I ordered the Spicy Garlic Chicken with fried rice and an egg roll, literally from start to finish it was on my table within 5 minutes, a very good sign. The speed at which my dish was cooked indicated an extremely high wok temperature and at first bite, the fried rice had that all important "Wok Hei" flavor, in fact the entire dish permeated with it beautifully. Archiving "Wok Hei" without burning the food requires a great deal of skill which these folks obviously possess. Fried rice has always been one of my bell weathers when it comes to Chinese American food, I'm usually disappointed more often than I am pleased but Main Garden does it right! The Garlic Chicken was spicy, the vegetables cooked perfectly with good texture and the sauce was delightful, although geared more toward American tastes. An egg roll can be another potential red flag if it arrives sopping with grease from the fryer, not mine, it was crispy crunchy without a hint of excess oil. Proper fry temperature are crucial to producing good fried non greasy products, Main Garden has mastered the time and temperature ratios nicely and serves up some very good Chinese American food.

    As an acres resident, I've been coming here forever. They're quick with delivery and their food is very good. They've definitely got the best hot mustard in town!

    This is my go-to Chinese food place. Food is always made quickly and they always give big portions. Well worth it. Staff is always friendly.

    What a find ! I'm visiting the Ludlow area on work assignment. This is my 4th visit in the last 3-4…read moreweeks! The FOOD - Honestly, there isn't one meal I have left here feeling disappointed. To the contrary, each meal has kept me coming back. Try it you won't be disappointed.

    The first time I dined at Blue Elephant was on a Tuesday lunch break. I figured it'd be the perfect…read morespot to grab a nice bite before heading back to work. Fast forward to a rainy Saturday evening, and I thought maybe the crowd wouldn't be too bad. Wishful thinking! I was craving good Thai food, so I decided to give it a go. We arrived just before 6 p.m., and to my surprise, it was standing room only. The staff greeted me with familiar smiles, and a waitress asked if I had reservations. I laughed and said, "Oops!" She chuckled and seated us within two minutes. We all looked at each other in awe. "No worries," she said, "you'll be just fine." The restaurant was buzzing with activity. The first thing I noticed was that it was the perfect time to see how the food and service would hold up under pressure. After placing our order with Mina, I realized I was witnessing what could only be described as organized chaos-- the place was packed, yet the staff kept smiling and delivering top-notch service. We ordered a variety of dishes: chicken coconut soup, shrimp Tom Yum soup, crispy duck with Penang curry (my favorite), crab rangoons, shrimp pad Thai, an appetizer sampler, basil fried rice, and Thai tea. Each dish was fantastic, and Mina, our waitress, was amazing. I wasn't the least bit surprised. Since moving here from Florida, Blue Elephant has quickly become my favorite place to indulge my cravings. You know that feeling when you take a bite of something truly delicious, and your eyes close in pure joy? That was me on this rainy Saturday night.

    I am so psyched I actually found a good Chinese restaurant in the Chicopee/Holyoke area. Beef with…read moreBroccoli was great. Broccoli and carrots fresh and crisp. Beef was delicious as was the sauce. Won Ton soup was excellent too. Great broth and won tons were tasty. Even the white rice was well cooked, fresh tasting and not stuck together as you're dishing it out. First Chinese restaurant I have tried in area I actually will be ordering from again. Highly recommended.

    It has been eight years since my last yelp review, and I had been enjoying my retirement. Until I…read moreordered from this place, that is. I hate to do it, but here goes... I ordered the "beef stick" -combo. I was greeted by two small, burnt, and suspiciously shaped beef teriyaki skewers, atop a pile of shockingly fluorescent yellow pork fried rice. Had I spilled any of this rice on myself, I could have worked as a flagger at the nearest construction site. The pork chunks, on the other hand, were whiter than a 1970's mustache at a disco club. One chunk looked so much like chewed bubble gum I removed it for inspection to discover it was "just" gristle, thank god. There were also two chicken fingers, clearly fried in oil dating from the Nixon -era. The chicken itself was chewy and sinewy. The only duck sauce came in packets, and it tasted like high viscosity, salty water -- who uses duck sauce packets these days anyway? But that's not what I'm here to tell you about; I'm here to tell you about what happened ten minutes later. My stomach became a veritable symphony of horrors. The sounds were akin to a butter knife in a sink disposal. I knew what was coming, and come it did. I spent the next few hours in a type of suffering I wouldn't wish on an enemy as the old, greasy, fluorescent food rained hatred down upon my stomach. I finally retreated to the couch, my body weakened and my soul defeated. Later that night, due in equal parts to my low IQ and my short memory, I decided to eat some of the pork fried rice leftovers. After all, there's no way this stuff really made me sick. It *had* to be a coincidence. Thus began my most recent self-education, for within minutes, I was once again in the bathroom praying to every deity I could think of. The things I saw that night - the things I smelled that night - will haunt my nightmares for an eternity. I'll cut to the chase: don't eat anything that looks like the food from this place. Chicken fingers shouldn't be fried in anything resembling motor oil, pork shouldn't be colorless fat globs, and rice shouldn't be the color of a school bus. I regret giving a one star review for a local business, but my stomach insists. May god have mercy upon your soul.
