The food was ready in 15 minutes and nice and hot when I got there to pick it up. The food in the pupu platter was good, I especially like the ribs. Cooked well and tasty. The soup was also good, I wish it was more spicy, but still tasty. Overall a good Chinese takeout food spot and exactly what you'd hope for.

Ordered through Uber eats instead and was met with an insane difference w/ price on certain items (boneless ribs being 4/5$ more for their small and large sizes ex: their large was 14.25 and ubereats was around 19$!). When I finally got my food, I also found a small pebble in my dish! Ubereats was very helpful with the process but I'm still upset about the entire experience. Overall the food was decent except for the part where I almost cracked my tooth ‍

The Sesame chicken breading was thick and doughy. The seasoning was red and odd - unlike any sesame chicken we've ever had. Not good at all. The chicken teriyaki was also red, coated with some type of breading and they used dark meat. No hint of teriyaki. Fried rice was loaded with vegetables and tasteless. Dumplings were extra doughy with little meat. The only edible items were the chicken wings, they had some flavor. No one finished their plates and we threw out all the leftovers. Sorry to have to leave this review however it was that bad.

The only thing I did not enjoy was the flavor of the dan dan mien has changed- it had a much stronger mala flavor than the last time I had it, which made it a harder to eat and enjoy. The noodles were extremely thin so I wonder if their current recipe for the sauce is more suitable for a thicker and less absorbant noodle. I enjoy mala but this definitely felt much less balanced than what we had here previously. Besides the mala being a little overpowering, our other dishes and drinks came out great and we were satisfied with our meal.

The only REAL Asian food establishment in Windsor, CT…read more I have been to the others in town and none compare to the menu at Char Koon Noodle Express. It's primarily a take-out/delivery joint. You can eat in. The ambiance is not romantic or cozy. What it lacks in ambiance it truly makes up for it in the taste, quality and portion sizes. The menu has something for most. The House Noodles (no shrimp please) are my go-to! They were my late husband's fave (with shrimp) and you do get a very nice portion. As with everything I have ever ordered, and I've lived in Windsor 23 years, things are cooked to your request, they are thorough, and best of all I have never had to wait forever to pick up my order. They have expanded their menu! They participate with popular delivery services. I choose to pick up as I have the time to and do not like others handling my order. I have never had an incorrect order. The staff is always polite. This is a small gem of a find. Try them once and I'll bet you too will keep coming back to try other menu items. Enjoy!!!!

A better than expected all you can eat locale…read more Came here because it was close by and they recently revamped their dine in to include boba tea and an all you can eat sushi and Chinese menu. Decided to give it a try and see how things turned out. Inside is clean and decorated well. Staff was very friendly and attentive. We told them we were doing the all you can eat, and got our ordering menu. Interestingly, they included boba tea as an option on the all you can eat menu. so we got drinks to try. They were a little sweet but tasty. We ordered a smattering of bites, with the idea that the plates would be tiny and we could try a bunch. The portions were smaller, but still very massive. There was many times we would take bites and it would look like nothing was eaten. You need to make sure you order light when picking your choices. The bites were seasoned well, tasty, and plentiful. The highlights being the garlic shrimp and the pepper tuna tataki. The sushi rice is seasoned correctly, and the fish was fresh. The taste of the rolls was a little bland, but soy and the wasabi aoli helped out. They do have the stipulation of food waste costing more, so the mass amounts of food did give us pause. The server assured us that there would not be any charges as they figure out how to portion. But it did limit our ordering. For the price, the quality is actually pretty good. It's pricy for the area, but you're not going to go hungry. If you get a chance to try them, they are a great option for a meal. It's not worthy of a trek, but versus other restaurants of that style you would be hard pressed to find better.

Local spot just expanded their menu offerings to an All You Can Eat, order off the paper sheet,…read morethey will bring to your table. It's a great concept, 90 minutes, all your little hear desires. A few challenges, only one sushi chef at the bar so order your rolls first, then check the other options. Cozy vibe, never too crowded so it was easy to carry on a conversation. Some noticeable things - the nearly endless variety of drink combinations was intriguing, start with green or black tea, select a fruit flavor (which were freshly muddled) and add Boba or not. Sodas are from a can and were not cold lol. The tables and booths are comfortable if you are not tall. It became a fun game of who's feet are going in which direction around the large pedestal base. Highlights are the hot & sour soup, boneless pork ribs which were succulent and tasty, Kani Salad, signature rolls were also enjoyable with a great and generous rice to filling ratio. Some things to improve are the wait times for the sushi. We've been there twice and each time thw dining area is relatively empty but it still took 35-45 minutes to get any rolls. Although it's AYCE, the sashimi and nigiri options are a la cart $1 a piece. The same checklist sheet was used, and a couple of the items were not erased between courses leading to double service. Maybe a smaller checklist that's used once or an electronic selection option from the table to the kitchen either via app or web form could solve this issue. As anything new, a time to acclimate to the changes and fine tweak solutions ia to be expected. We look forward to trying more of their signature rolls

These haven't changed in years (decades). A couple ice waters quick to show up! For my first drink? I'm having a French Martini made with Grey Goose vodka, Chambord and a splash of pineapple juice. This is good! It is a well balanced drink. They don't garnish here so I know what I'm getting. They also use medium sized martini glasses (not the small ones). For my first item, I'm having the House Green Salad. This is made with iceberg lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. I LOVE their ginger dressing! I like the soothing music here. This salad is awesome! My friend is getting the Kani (crab). Wow! Look at that masterpiece! I think he got an upgrade! Out comes a random complementary sushi. It looks like tuna with cream cheese and avocado. This is delicious! I love pickled ginger and lots of wasabi. That's hits your nose hard! For my next item, I'm having a miso soup. This is the lowest price I've ever seen ($2.85). It is a soybean soup made with tofu, scallions and seaweed. Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup made from a dashi stock mixed with miso paste, a fermented soybean paste, giving it a savory, umami flavor. Key ingredients often include tofu, seaweed (wakame), and scallions, but it can be customized with mushrooms, clams, or other additions. It's served hot, typically as part of a traditional Japanese meal, and should not be boiled after adding the miso to preserve its flavor and nutrients. This is hot and steamy. It is delicious! For my next item, I'm having the Seaweed Salad. Japanese seaweed salad (often called wakame salad) is a vibrant, refreshing, and umami-packed dish. It is made by rehydrating dried seaweed, tossing it with a vinaigrette made of sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar, and garnishing it with sesame seeds. I love this stiff although it sticks to your teeth sometimes. It is quite chilled. For my next item, I'm having edamame. These are a superfood. Boiled soybeans with salt! Edamame is a Japanese dish of young soybeans, typically boiled or steamed in the pod and served as a snack or appetizer, often with salt. It can also be prepared shelled (mukimame) and seasoned in various ways, such as with garlic, soy sauce, chili, or sesame oil, and served warm or cold in salads. The beans are known for being a protein-rich, healthy, and versatile ingredient. These are an absolutely delicious! For my next drink, I am having a Strawberry Martini made with Svensk Wild Strawberry vodka, sweet vermouth and a splash of strawberry liqueur. Oh wow! This is good! Yes, you can taste the alcohol here! These edamame are good! No shortage of salt here either! For my next food item, I'm having the Tuna Nuts made with thinly sliced seared tuna served with raw seaweed and a sweet miso paste. It normally cones with scallions too. We'll see. This is good! It's might and easy to eat. Yummy! Our comes a spice tuna avocado ball AND a no rice sushi dish! This is amazing! There is NO place like this! For my next item, I'm having the Ikura (A La Carte menu). Ikura is the Japanese term for cured salmon roe (fish eggs). Prized for its vibrant orange color and signature "pop," the individual eggs are typically marinated in a soy sauce, sake, and mirin brine. It is most commonly served atop vinegared rice wrapped in a strip of nori seaweed (known as gunkan maki) or over a bowl of rice (ikura don). This is a taste of the ocean! Cucumber, no rice. It's a must when coming here! The wasabi is wicked strong! It was just made today! I love this! On my For my next item, I'm having the Spicy Crab and Mango made with snow crab, mango, avocado and cucumber. My friend is having the Spicy Crunchy Scallops hand roll. These are sushi snow cones.

Oriental Cafe has really nailed it the last couple of times I've gone…read more Earlier this year, I went here for dine in. It was a holiday weekend and we were the only ones dining in, but takeout orders were booming and our waitress (a very friendly and welcoming short Asian woman) was doing an amazing job checking in on us, and running over to the takeout area constantly to give people orders. On that day, I really enjoyed my Miso Soup (a perfect small portion to warm me up) and Teriyaki Tofu, although it came with a ton of onions that I did not care for. It came out sizzling hot and seemed to continue to cook after it was on my table, so the onion flavor became really strong and almost gave me a headache, but I ate around it. The veggies were fresh and the tofu had a great crispy breading on it. The sauce was very thick and a little went a long way - I almost wish it were a little thinner so it could spread more evenly across my food to give it some moisture. Today I ordered takeout online through the Seamless site. It said food would be ready in 10-15 minutes, which felt crazy fast. Lo and behold, about 12 minutes after I placed my order, I got a text that it was already ready for pickup! I couldn't grab it until well over 20 minutes had gone by, and even by the time I got home, everything was still perfectly hot and nothing had to be reheated. A young man gave me my order and I was in and out of the plaza in 60 seconds or less, so efficient and no wait! I tried the Teriyaki Tofu again today because I really did love it, but keep forgetting to ask for no onions. I also got the Peanut Avocado Maki Roll with Spicy Mayo - I've never seen this combo for sushi and had to try it! The seaweed had a really strong flavor that surprisingly overpowered the peanuts, how odd. I almost wish this came with some sort of peanut sauce to really double down on the flavor! It was good and fresh but a little less exciting than I thought it'd be. Their menu has a wide range of both Chinese and Japanese dishes. There's plenty of parking in the shared lot, and you have to go down some steps to the bottom floor of the plaza. The steps are a little tilted, so watch out. I'm not sure if there is a mobility impaired accessible way to access this floor. Prices seem reasonable and takeout was very fast. I'll be back!
