We ordered a large egg drop soup. It was delicious, wasn't salty and not a lot of starch. The chicken lo mein was the best! The noodles were tender, and perfectly seasoned. Not salty. The beef fried was ok. Some of the rice was semi hard. It wasn't salty. And my wife said that she tasted a little coconut oil. Overall this was a decent place to eat! I would come back! The food was ready in 15 minutes! They were quick! There is also a convenient store in the restaurant. read more

This Americanized Chinese restaurant in a strip mall on Mountain Rd delivered a good tasting Lo Mein. I called for take out and the food was ready in 15 min. I asked for not too oily, not too salty and the food was really well prepared. The roast pork was tasty and tender and the noodles were not greasy at all. A good option if you are in the area. read more

It's a good authentic Chinese take out. This is only a choice for a typical Chinese take out and I'd not mind going back even for a 15 min drive. The store has a Chinese/Japanese convenience store inside and you can get a pretty good light stuff in there. read more

Always a great place for good food!! Great hours! Try it out! Convenient! Great staff and owners!

Standard Chinese food - more a 3.5 stars. We ordered take out: moo shu pork, chicken with broccoli, shrimp fried rice, beef lo main, fried pork dumplings, wonton soup, egg drop soup, and spring rolls. We wanted hot and sour soup but they did not have it (really? on a Friday evening). The prices were low and the quality was ok. The moo shu pork came with 4 pancakes and came with the hoisin sauce - it was a solid choice. Chicken with broccoli was ok - I felt the meat was a little on the subpar side so I ate the broccoli and pushed around the chicken. Shrimp fried rice and beef lo main were good but less beef than we would have liked. The dumplings were HUGE and doughy - not my favorite but they tasted good. The wonton soup was covered in cilantro and celery leaves and the 4 wontons were also HUGE but the broth was warm and tasted ok. Egg drop soup was ok. The spring rolls came in a package of 2 and were also ok. The food was not oversalty nor too oily. read more

Food was lacking had general Tsao tofu, scallion pancakes tasted old and beef teriyaki was overly sweet. Unlikely to return

We ordered take out from them twice. The food was delicious and portions huge. Soup was flavorful and full of vegetables and meat. Noodles were very flavorful with meat and vegetables. Kung pao chicken was delicious with finely chopped celery and carrots and crunchy peanuts. The fried rice was so good that my kids ate it all and wanted it for breakfast. General Tzao chicken was crispy and sweet and delicious. Fantastic tasting fresh food, good portions at an affordable price. read more

We were visiting Stowe on vacation and looking for something other than pizza or pub food that wouldn't burn a hole in our wallet. After some research, we decided to take a leap of faith and go to Sanfo Chinese Restaurant for takeout. It took us a while to find their website and online menu, but once we did, we were able to make our selections and call in our order with ease. All of our dishes were quite good, served hot with plenty of fresh vegetables, not greasy at all and not too salty either. For the vegetarians, the bean curd with vegetables hit the spot. The double sauteed roast pork was yummy as well. The house special lo mein, won ton soup and steamed dumplings also made the grade. Sanfo is located in a shopping center off of the main road, so there is plenty of parking and is clean and well-kept. There are only three tables, however, so they clearly do most of their business in takeout. Not to be overlooked, the prices are definitely right, especially when you consider that with takeout, you can avoid the 20 percent tip that seems to be the commonly accepted rate these days. This isn't gourmet food by any stretch, but given the very limited number of economical restaurants in the Stowe area, Sanfo Chinese Restaurant gets high marks for delivering the goods. I'm giving Sanfo four stars in this context: as an affordable restaurant serving good, fast, fresh Chinese takeout. read more

Sanfo Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

Exactly what you expect from Chinese take out - cheap and yummy! Beef lo mein was great!

I was very disappointed with the food as it seemed to be frozen food you can get at a dollar general and make at home. I ordered sesame beef that was mostly breading and ha little to no flavo. The only thing that had taste was the sauce but it was a bit salty. I also ordered egg rolls which were small, seemed to be pre-made and only filling was cabbage? 1 was extremely salty while the other was ok as far as seasoning. When I got the bill it was more than it should have been so I asked for a receipt and was told that my credit card slip was my receipt. I asked how the price got to be so high she gave me prices but couldn't explain an extra 5 bucks. I said that probably would never return. All around bad experience! read more

Ignore the 1-2 star reviews. This is very solid Chinese takeout especially in northern VT. High quality, fresh, solid flavor. As part time residents, this is our go to Chinese takeout restaurant which is much needed. Also, very nice service over the phone and during pickup. I over paid due to a mixup and they gave me the difference back in cash when I picked up without me even catching it/asking. Try Sanfo! read more

Ok. Had a family party and wanted to take out. Here are the results for 7 people.... Shrimp with broccoli? Far from Jumbo Shrimp...small portion Chicken Chow Main? Watery and utterly without taste. Orange Chicken? Dry and crusty. Szheoun Chicken? Appeared to be the same as any other chicken dishes. See the theme here.....as expensive as an6 other Chinese restaurant. Bland and indistinctive food. Small portions. End result? Should have gotten Pizza. It would had more of a variety of tastes than this dump. Dine in or dine out....dine elsewhere. read more

We were looking for a place for cheap American Chinese food to mix of the rest of the American food that we had been eating the rest of the weekend, and SanFo was the perfect find (right next to AJ's Sport rental place as well, so we dropped off our skis and went straight over). Recommended: Sesame Chicken, General Tso's Chicken, Kung Pao Bean Curd, Beef Hunan Style (not spicy at all). All dishes were under ten dollars. The family was working hard on Chinese New Year to satisfy all the take-out orders. While we waited, we enjoyed some tea, and though we ordered 14 dishes, we were out within 25 minutes. read more

Good food. Fast and fresh. The dumplings and egg rolls were made in house. The egg rolls could have had more filling though. The general tso's chicken was good, it could have been a little more spicy, but other than that it was good. read more

We were up for some chinese food while on vacation in the mountains. To be fair, there are not a lot of options in the Stowe area but I was pleasantly surprised by Sanfo. We ordered take-out and had a mix of items such Broccoli in Garlic Sauce, General's Chicken (we apparently cannot order chinese without getting this wherever we go. I think it's from an old family law our forefathers instilled in us.), pork fried rice, steamed dumplings and crab rangoon. The food was fresh and overall, everyone enjoyed it. We are very much spoiled by our hometown offerings so this was a pleasant surprise. If you are looking for traditional American-Chinese food, I think Sanfo is worth giving a try. read more

I give this place a solid 4 stars. Got a takeout order for fried dumplings and general tso's chicken and got a good meal. They forgot to give me a fork and the dumpling sauce wasn't that great hence they lost a star, but everything else was good! The sit-down area is no frills but at least you could eat there if you don't want takeout. I'd definitely go back and order from them when I'm craving Chinese food again. The next closest place is several miles away but this place was just fine for me to not even consider driving further out. read more

Worst Chinese in town. We tried it yesterday for the first time. We took a few bites and threw it away. Food did not taste fresh, chicken was chewy, rice was bland and the egg roll was pasty tasting. Waste of $$. Better to drive to Morrisville or Waterbury. read more

We ate here during a summer family vacation in Stowe to get away from the more expensive restaurants in town. I would say the food here is standard Chinese takeout fare. Tasty and reasonable quality. The scallion pancakes were better than my favorite Chinese place at home. The chicken in the Chicken Mei Fun was nice all white meat, but the wife was less impressed with the Sesame Chicken (I thought it was tasty). Atmosphere? Let's just say that this is the kind of place where you have to pay to use actual dishes ($1 for 4 plates, $1 for 2 glasses--I'm not kidding). There are about 3 tables in the place, and it was as hot as Southeast Asia in summer (OK, kidding here, but not much) even though it was a perfect dry 70's day outside. It's all self-serve and clean-up. Bottom line--acceptable Chinese takeout at a reasonable (for Stowe) price, but keep expectations low on atmosphere, and plan on carrying out if possible. Oh, did I mention that it's the only Chinese joint in town? read more

Edible, but mediocre (at least the dish I tried - The dragon and the Phoenix). Give it a try, you may have better luck.

Nice little restaurant in the small little town of Stowe. The food was tasty, not oily and well sized portions. The tofu dish was done perfectly as was the beef chow mein. The service was really great - attentive without being over bearing. The veggies still tasted fresh and crisp after being cooked! read more

Sanfo Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Stowe, Vermont

We came a few years ago and were very happy. However this trip the food was flavorless and just about inedible. The interior of the restaurant has changed to a total takeout place - foes it have new owners? Sweet and sour chicken, golden tofu and beef with broccoli were all terrible. The seven of us eating kept commenting each dish we tried was even worse than the prior dish. My advice, don't bother! It's a waste of calories! read more

Awesome little mom and pop Chinese food place. Got pu pu platter for 2, general Tso's chicken and chicken fingers. Good size portions for the money. Plenty of duck sauce and cutlery. read more

The best Chinese place in town? The only Chinese place in town! I recommend calling for take out. Reasonably priced, the food was very tasty and hot when we got back to the room. For a restaurant in a tourist town they need to build an online presence. They have no menus online. When I called they offered to email me a menu - sanfo253@gmail. Hi. Way to 5 stars? Post a menu online and perhaps your hours of operation! They were closed Monday. Not sure if that's a regular thing... read more

My wife, kids, and I love American Chinese Food. We order it a lot on the road/vacation to take a night off of cooking and going out. We have also eaten Chinese in the most rural of areas and big cities, and have found good and bad in both. This Place was just ok. The sweet and Sour Chicken was typical. The General Tso's was extremely dry and hard to chew, and didn't have a lot of sauce on it. The Crab Rangoons were the traingle kind, decent flavor, but no crunch to them. We also ordered Sesame Chicken which was like the General Tso, rubbery, and not a lot of sauce. All in all, not the worst meal we've ever had, but not near the closest best Chinese either. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I have been dinning here for more than a year. This family owned restaurant offers very fresh ingredients. This summer they added eggplant and fresh green beans. I especially enjoy Szechuan and Hunan dishes. They will prepare the eggplant and green beans this style, which has become my new favorite combination. The family is very friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant, which is open year round to anyone visiting the area. read more

My girlfriend and I were on a vacation in Stowe and were looking for places to eat when we came across this place. Initially, we thought it was a sit down restaurant, but boy were we surprised when we walked in. This place was like any other typical chinese restaurant that offered To-Go. It had a few places to sit, but was not really intended to be a sit down restaurant. The place was empty when we came in so we figured we might as well sit down and eat there. We were politely greeted and the woman there took our order. We ordered the sesame chicken and the crab ragoon. It didnt take too long for the dishes to come out and they were piping hot. The ragoon were heavily filled with cream cheese, which we did not find with other restaurants, so this was definitely a plus. The sesame chicken came out and it was crispy on the outside and nice and moist on the inside. The chicken also came with rice. Overall we enjoyed our experience and would recommend anyone looking for a good place to dine that isnt going to empty your wallet. read more

We were surprised by this place. We didn't want to wait an hour plus at other places with 3 kids so we stopped here to get take out. Everything was much better than we expected and we will def order again in the future! read more

My boyfriend and I wanted something other than American food. We found this place through a tourist map in one of the stores in Stowe. We thought this place was an actual restaurant, but as we walked in there only were 4 places to sit down. We were greeted nicely and were both given a menu. The price was cheaper than other Chinese places we've been to. We ordered hot and sour soup, sesame shrimp, chicken and broccoli in garlic sauce, and crab ragoon. Our food didn't take long to come out. People started trickling on and wanted to sit down and eat too. The hot and sour soup was decent. Not as great as other places I've been too. The soup was really dark and didn't have as much mushrooms in them. The crab ragoon was really good. Crunchy and lots of filling in them! Both sesame shrimp and chicken and garlic were good too! If you're looking for a cheap place and something other than burger and fries this is a fairly decent place to go to if you're shopping around this area! read more

If you are looking for a really nice sit down restaurant, then this is not the place. If you are looking for a place with good foods and inexpensive, this is the place to go. Everything is less than $10, no MSG, all home made sauces, and 100% veggie oil. We, a family of four had a good dinner for less than the cost of a large pizza at nearby pizzeria. We will definitely go back again. read more

Great lunch specials with fresh vegetables. Not your usual goopy chinese dishes. The decor of the restraunt is a bit dated, but the service is friendly. read more

This Restaurant has been open for about a year. It replaced an incredibly bad Chinese restaurant in the same location, the Lucky King. The restaurant is not very busy because people don't know that it is under new ownership. The food is fresh and well prepared. I live in town and eat there often. The owner/chef always has fresh green veggies and will prepare dishes to order. The atmosphere is lacking for sure, but the food is great and relatively inexpensive for Stowe. Give it a try! read more
