    Small salad that comes with the dinner boxes, at Yue Se in Unionville, CT.
    Tom D.

    Visited a friend's house tonight and he suggest we do some local Chinese food delivery. So he ordered from Yue Se, food came to the house maybe less than a half an hour later. I ordered a General Tso's Chicken dinner box, my friend had the Chicken Lo Mein dinner box and a steamed dumplings appetizer. The General Tso's Chicken was crispy, sauce had a nice spice level, but I wished there had been more of the sauce. Egg Rolls were good, Crab Rangoons were just OK. The dumplings were tasty. The dinner boxes came with a small salad also, I thought that was a bit odd, but the salad was decent. As I was leaving my friend's house to head home, my wife wanted me to pick up something for her also. So I stopped at the plaza where Yue Se is located, but because it was dark and I had never been there before, I entered the Japanese restaurant next door. To add to the confusion, the name of the Japanese place happens to be Yume. Eventually I finally made it home with my wife's Sweet & Sour Chicken dinner box, and she enjoyed it. Yue Se is a solid 4 Star rating, IMO. We plan to order from them again in the near future, and next time I'm sure I won't get lost at Yume in the process !

    Mongolian Beef Dinner Box
    Jason P.

    Sometimes I think of CT Yelp as a professional sports league. Different CT regions have teams of reviewers and restaurants, and I think of those regions as divisions in a league. Reviewers mostly eat within their division. Reviewers occasionally, but less frequently, eat in nearby regions. I think of collections of nearby regions as divisions within a sports conference. Reviewers sometimes, but even less frequently, venture into far off regions. Those restaurant visits are like out of conference games. Yue Se, a Hong Kong style cafe and Chinese Restaurant in Farmington, is in my conference, but not in my division. I noted a while ago that a reviewer I respect in Yue Se's division was really high on Yue Se and that it had a 5 Yelp Star Rating. Because of that, I plotted a morning trip to Bantam that saw me driving back through Farmington as Yue Se opened. I can see why the reviewers in Yue Se's division are big fans. I was in a hurry and planned to order take out. I asked a woman who may have been an owner whether they could make a Mongolian Beef Dinner Box in 15 minutes. She said they could do it in 10. I liked that confidence! While I waited, I observed a few tables for dine-in and a clean, modern and minimalistic vibe. I'm not sure they even took the full 10 before she returned with my dinner in a brown bag. She was very friendly throughout my time there and I felt well taken care of. Because I'm a food nerd, I removed the attractive and functional takeout container from the brown bag and immediately took pics. Steam escaped as I removed the clear lid from the multi-compartment black container. The dinner box comes with Mongolian Beef, pork fried rice (a small upgrade), an egg roll, two Crab Rangoon and a salad. Picture perfect takeout. I decided to eat the two Crab Rangoon then because I was concerned that they might get soggy during the 20+ minute drive home. The exterior was crispy, but not too crispy. The filling was mildly sweet and had the creamy texture that I hope for. Right up there with the best Crab Rangoon I've had in our conference. I ate the rest when I got home. I loved the pork fried rice. It was full of diced pork, and it was all very flavorful. Again, right up there with the best in conference. I also enjoyed the Mongolian Beef. The beef was tender and came with strips of well cooked onions and peppers. The sauce had good mildly sweet flavor and it well coated the pieces in the dish. This was not a case where the food was drowning in sauce, which happens with many Chinese takeout places. Great takeout execution on the Mongolian Beef. The egg roll was not a highlight for me. It was fine. The exterior had nice color and texture. The filling was a bit one note for me. I would have preferred to see something like small pieces of meat, poultry, shrimp or other veggies to mix things up a bit. However, this wasn't enough to detract from the otherwise Five Star takeout experience. Watch out for the Farmington, Avon, Simsbury and Canton Yelp Division. They mean business.

    Order # 20630

    On Friday January 26, 2024 my wife and I ordered food online at 5:28PM Order # 20630 1) boneless spareribs box dinner with a small Hot & Sour soup. 1) Hunan Chicken box dinner with a small wonton soup. I arrived ten minutes before pickup time and waited a little while longer. Very busy place. They put everything in brown paper bags and staple in shut. You cannot see what is in your bag. No counter space to examine the package. You pay. You leave a tip. You drive home. You get inside your home and open your package and find small container with liquid Broth and ZERO WONTONS. Very Disappointed 2nd time the order is not received correctly or satisfactory. Food Tastes good. The box meals come with abundance food. It's too bad they don't show you the food before putting in brown bags. I won't be going there again until they fix the packaging assembly behind curtains and the customer has no idea what they are receiving.

    I would give them more starts if possible. The food was FANTASTIC!! Their place is clean, and the service was extremely fast. We ordered 5 dishes and it was ready in 10-15 minutes, and was nice and hot when received. Everything we got was really delicious and I will definitely be ordering from Yue Se again. I only took photos of my veggie options, but we ordered meat options as well. 10/10 would recommend

    From the outside and even the Google Maps photos, I honestly thought it would be a typical…read moreAmerican-Chinese restaurant. Instead, I found a clean, efficient dim sum spot with surprisingly good food. The self-service concept worked really well. You order at the counter, pick up your own food, and there is no tipping. I actually like this system because at traditional dim sum restaurants you often spend more time waiting for carts or servers than eating. One thing that really impressed me was the cleanliness. The restaurant isn't newly renovated, but it's well maintained. After each table left, the staff cleaned with fresh sanitizing wipes instead of using the same cloth over and over. They also serve everything with disposable plates and utensils, which personally gives me more confidence than reusable tableware that isn't always cleaned thoroughly. The food was consistently good. The lotus leaf sticky rice was fragrant, the rice noodle roll with fried dough had a great texture, and the Teochew dumplings were generously filled. The standout dish was the stuffed trio. The shrimp paste was fresh and springy, the fried tofu was crispy, and getting eggplant, tofu, and green pepper on one plate made it easy to try a little of everything.

    This is the only dim sum restaurant that offers dim sum and a full menu in fort lee…read more Hourly Parking is available on the street so it's recommended you park in a lot for dining here. Waiters were quick to seat us and offer hot tea. We arrived at noon for dim sum on a Friday and they had the push carts circling the dining room. But it was very slow to arrive at our table that we had no choice but to order food off the menu even though we requested the dim sum cart after receiving the tea. Food was hot and tasted good. Kids wanted rice rolls which were not on the cart so we had to order from the kitchen which mean it came out after a bit more waiting. If you're looking to satisfy your dim sum craving this place is great. They also have large tables for big groups. And they take reservations.

    I recently dined at Sing Choi Kee and I have very mixed feelings. The food itself was…read moregood..flavorful, fresh, and definitely the highlight of the experience. No complaints there. Unfortunately, the service really took away from it. We waited a long time for everything: from drinks to appetizers to our entrees. and there were only two other tables in the entire restaurant. When one drink came out and we asked about the other, we were told it was "taking a while to froth the milk," which felt odd considering how long we had already been waiting. What made it more frustrating was watching other tables receive their food much faster than we did. It felt inconsistent and honestly a little dismissive. When it was time to pay, the waitress asked me to just tap my card without even showing me the bill or letting me see the total, and then hovered over us while we were trying to close out. That part felt uncomfortable and rushed. The food was good, but the service needs serious improvement.

    It's not bad but it's not great either. As someone who loves chinese food and have dined at HK…read morecafes in Chinatown and Flushing... Sing Choi Kee is just NOT it. My husband ordered the Char Siu ricebowl and the meat were dark brown instead of the advertised vibrant red. We kinda knew it was going to be MEH when we saw the browned' Char Siu --- usually a sign that it was pre cooked, frozen and reheated. My chicken cutlet curry rice was meh. The cutlets were thin and dry, and I thought the curry tasted worse than the microwavable ones from H Mart. HK milk tea? NAHHHHH. Both ours tasted weird and I paid extra for the teddy bear ice and it was a waste of money. Overall, the food is MEH, and it's extremely overpriced. They are charging at least 50% mark up from what you'd get from a HK cafe in CTown or Flushing...but sadly, the food is not elevated! We won't be back.

    Consistent, flavorful, and good portion sizes. Went for lunch and the service was pretty quick,…read morethough we went right at opening so they were still in the process of starting their day. Lunch specials are smaller portion, but good for the price (raised to $12.95 now since my last menu photo) We split a lot of dishes because we couldn't decide: Wonton soup appetizer {4.5/5}: Loved how delicate the wontons were and the clear broth was great for a cold day. Tad too salty though. Lunch special --Braised pork belly {3/5}: Very tender, but kind of monotone in flavor. Very filling! Lunch special --Hot and sour gizzards {4.5/5}: This might freak people out in terms of texture, but I LOVE this texture. Good chew and pops of heat from the peppers and acid from the pickled green beans Lunch special --Cumin dish lamb {3/5}: kind of chewy and not as much flavor as I wished, but not bad! Chicken wings {3/5}: Crunchyyyy. Battered wings, not as much flavor as their chongqing chicken which I prefer, but not bad

    Really good sichuan food, giant portions, authentic…read more Been meaning to swing by this place. Often cited as one of the best sichuan places around, had to make the trek to see. Outside is very much a busy shopping plaza in not the best part of town. Inside is a completely different story. Very clean and spacious, lots of booths and tables. Decorated well and a lot to see. The staff were friendly but there was a slight language barrier. We fumbled through the menu and found some bites to try. Food came out relatively quick, and that was a bit to manage because there were a lot of plates brought rather quickly. We got pics and dug in. The bites were flavored well. Nothing felt too greasy or under seasoned. The white pepper chicken was very crispy. But not a lot of chicken on each bite. The sweet and sour soup was both sweet and sour, but balanced enough that you could keep on eating it. The dumplings were fresh noodles and the filling was spiced well. The only flop was the spare ribs. Really tasty sauce, but very little meat on the bone. Had to suck on the bones to scrape enough meat off to make it a proper appetizer. It tasted good, just was not easy to eat. Price for the area was high for the neighborhood. It's got the quality and the flavor to command that price easily, but it doesn't match the stores. It's really good, but know that you're getting the real deal sichuan experience. Expect some heat, some saucy fingers, and some bones, and you'll get some really good bites
