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.

Not exactly positive or negative remarks, but only that they're just one of the many Chinese American establishments available if you need low-cost high volume food Parking should be easy since this restaurant is more of a take-out affair. I can't imagine the several spots will ever be filled all at once. Even so, there are plenty of businesses nearby with parking lots. Nothing to write about for the inside. A couple of tables and a fridge. Not designed to be a date spot, no surprise. Now on to the food.. Crab Rangoons ; small, 7pcs. this is more of a creamy style, semi-sweet. doesn't appear to be any other fillers, just pure white. it's fine. crispy and flaky wontons. These are pretty good and basically exactly what you expect when you order these. General Tso's Chicken ; this one is a mixed bag. The sauce is quite thin and idk, doesn't have much flavor. It does surprisingly have a lot of heat. The batter on the chicken is not crispy, but most places fail to meet that bar anyway. It didn't get soggy and it's not obnoxiously thick and doughy. The quality of the chicken leaves a lot to be desired. Some pieces are like perfect Chic Fil A nuggets. Other long twisty pieces are tough and have unpleasant mouth feel. A lot of other pieces are just too dry. The flavor just isn't there, it's physically unenjoyable to eat and I don't want to finish eating this. Beef w/ Broccoli ; I think this dish is fine. I do not regularly get this dish so I don't have a benchmark for it. The broccoli is nicely tender. Some of them even have the perfect snap to them. None of them approach sogginess. The beef has been velveted correctly - super tender and no bizarre aftertaste. I just don't think the flavor profile of this dish in a general sense is for me. House Special Fried Rice ; small, onions yes, subgum style yes. Not sure how to rate this. It has everything and it's totally packed with all of vegetables and meats. It just doesn't have that extra oomph that fried rice should have to make me crave it. The rice is very much an off-white color and not golden brown, so visually it makes be believe the rice is far less flavorful than other places with golden-to-brown rice. I'm not really satisfied with the food and I know I would've had better results ordering from other places I'm more familiar with.

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.

I usually get the general tso combo with fried rice but lately I've been loving their Chicken Fingers, Boneless Ribs, Beef Teriyaki, Pork Fried Rice for $15.95; I usually swap out chicken fingers for fried chicken wings. 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.
