Song Restaurant

Song Restaurant is an excellent spot for Chinese food! The wontons are flavorful and perfectly prepared, but the real star is their fried rice—it’s easily the best I’ve had. Every bite is fresh, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to enjoy a meal. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic and delicious Chinese dishes!

Highly recommend, food was amazing, the best noodles and soup I’ve had. The chengu chicken dumplings were delicious. Cozy atmosphere and nice music and the owners are very sweet! Will be back very soon

Ordering for pickup was easy on DoorDash. They accommodated my request for limited salt. Very friendly service. The food was great. I liked how I could add Edamame With Pickled Vegetable as a side dish. Parking on LaSalle Road can be challenging.

I was famish and so felt like eating soup dumplings. Remember that I had walk by this location before and so I wanted to try their soup dumplings. I have to say they are very good and I order the pork and shrimp dumplings separately. And also had their special rice in which it's call something else but anyway it was delicious and the scallion veggie roll pancakes. I was indeed happy I decided to visit for dinner was not disappointed at all. I recommend everyone to try them is in when looking for something not American. This was on a Monday, therefore, it's a little less crowded. But indeed go try their soup dumplings 😋

Quite possibly the best Asian noodle dish I’ve ever had. The twice cooked pork belly was insanely delicious and the fresh pasta combined with the spices was on another level.

The food is SO good. Gives homemade vibes. We had pork bao, Dan Dan noodles, and scallion pancake rolls. Everything was delicious and really reasonably priced, and great service. Really fun to get a bunch of dishes to share.

While passing through a charming little town West Hartford, I found a unique and delightful Asian Song restaurant. The service was good, and the menu was simple, offering noodles, rice, and some authentic Chinese appetizers . The soup had a light flavor, and the xiao long bao_ soup dumplings, although not the best I've ever had, were still pretty good. Overall, the food was quite tasty. The waiter was nice, adding a special touch to the lunch experience.

I've had this place bookmarked for a while, since I've been seeing great reviews about it. They're on LaSalle St. which is a busy road with a ton of restaurants and shops in West Hartford. We were able to find on-street metered parking nearby. We got there for lunch and was able to get a table outside. The service was quick and friendly. We started off with the crispy pork nuggets ($8) which were super crispy and delectable; it came with sweet hoison sauce and chili flakes for dipping. We also ordered steamed chicken soup dumplings ($9); this came with a sweet soy dipping sauce. I thought this was just okay, there wasn't much soup in it. Next time, I want to try out their chengdu dumplings ($9). We were hungry so we asked the waiter for recommendations and he said braised beef pancake roll ($11) and boy, that was a good recommendation. It was a flaky roll with beef and sweet hoison sauce. Now my main entree was the Dan Dan noodles ($8). They mixed it at the table for me; it had noodles, ground pork, spicy sauce, and baby bok choy. Wow, I can eat a gallon of that lol, 5 stars all the way for that. My husband had the Roujiamo Chinese burger and he said it was okay. Overall, the food was 4.5 stars and the service and ambiance was 5 stars, so I rounded it to 5 stars total. I look forward to going back and trying out some more menu items!

Definitely a hidden gem here in WeHa! Skip all the restaurants on this trip and try Song! The staff is so nice here and always so sweet accommodating my toddler. We love their chengdu dumplings, Lo mein, scallion pancake rolls, and pan seared pork dumplings. It is so fun trying all the different menu items! We have a lot more to try and will be back for sure!

I used to go there frequently as loyal customer and ended up with too many nightmares: 1. I showed them the water bug crawling on the table next to where my food was sitting, they smushed it in front of me with their bare hands, rinsed their fingers off, and then told me they don't know about the situation, "it's only because it's summer so there's a lot of bugs". 2. I told them that their beef wasn't fresh and they grudgingly changed it to something else, while gaslighting me as the only customer that ever had issues with it and ever complained about it. 3. I ordered the tomato noodle soup and ended up biting into a chunk of tomato that was obviously bad. I notified them of it, and they angrily yelled at me telling me that I didn't owe anything for the bill, then proceeded to gaslighting me, saying that it was my problem, not theirs. 4. I went again a few weeks later. They ignored me when I was waiting at the door, then when I picked a table to sit down at, they told me they couldn't serve me because I always had problems with my food and there was no way that they could make it right, even though I only had problems with my food twice out of the 50+ times I visited them. Do not give them your business because if something does go wrong, they will gaslight you and refuse responsibility.

Song is run by the same people who own Shu Restaurant so I often think of their food as being the same, but actually Song has its own distinct specialties. I like their soup noodles and wontons. Sometimes the flavors can be a little too strong or too salty for my taste-- like the vegetable Chengdu dumplings can be super garlicky if you get too much sauce. The cold noodle sesame paste I ordered recently was over-seasoned. Otherwise, I order takeout from them pretty frequently. Food comes in sealed plastic containers that can be easily stored in the fridge.

The only bad thing about this place is how easy it is to miss walking down Lasalle. We split: - avocado shrimp - steamed pork dumplings - pork and lamb roujiamos - beef lo mein Everything was full of flavor. The sauce on the avocado shrimp had an unexpected sweetness but it was such a nice touch. Both the lamb and pork roujiamo, like a Chinese burger, were so tender. I look forward to trying the other ones like chicken and vegetable options. I'm not a big fan of lo mein but the beef lo mein here is now something I look forward to getting in the future. The flavors were bold without being overbearing and there was plenty of tender beef mixed throughout. I loved that they had Shirley temples on the menu, I definitely got one to channel my inner child. The service was friendly but not too engaging. The inside is super laid back. I'll be back for sure, super soon!

One of our go-to spots for regional Chinese cuisine in the West Hartford area when we used to live within walking distance of Blue Back Square Cold jelly fish -- my absolute favorite appetizer of all time. I love how refreshing the jellyfish flesh is. The combo of cold crunch cucumber and fleshy jellyfish is addicting especially when marinated in a soy vinegar blend. It's the perfect summer treat! Chengdu wontons-- love the thin, slippery skins and the sweet and savory chili oil dipping sauce Gummy noodles-- we have to get this every time we visit!! We love the nutty, sweet, savory sauce that these noodles are coated with! Beef pancake roll-- still wish they packed it with more beef especially for the people who only get the ends. These go fast, so maybe order more than you think you'll want. The pancake wrapping is pan fried until the exterior is delightfully blistered Pork intestines w/ sweet potato noodle soup--for those who are a bit more adventurous, this soup packs a lot of funk from the intestines. The crispy soybean topping adds a nice crunch. Sausage fried rice-- a homey comfort that reminds me of childhood. Chinese sausage is akin to a denser, sweeter, jerky-like cured meatstick Cold sesame noodles-- a reliable consistent staple for those who like sesame paste Service is always fast and the restaurant is never too packed which makes for a peaceful space to relax and connect over your meal!

We came to this restaurant on a cold night where honestly it was the one that had no line to wait on and we got in quickly. The food was pretty simple in its flavors, not really outstanding in any way. The service was not the best as we were seated for about 15 minutes before someone came and asked if anybody else had taken our order yet. The food came out quick, and then we couldn't find the waitress again when we needed her. It's a small place without much decoration or intrigue to the setting it's in. I don't think I will be going back anytime soon, if at all.

Was craving some soup and decided to give this place a try. Located in West Hartford center. Street parking. Service we were greeted right away and seated. The server was very attentive abs friendly. Had a lot of small talk. I ordered the Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Soup Dumplings and shrimp lo mein. All was good. The soup especially hit the spot for me. They only had wine and beer I believe, as they do not have a liquor license. Will def be back when in town.

I'm writing this review with tears of pure joy as I will attempt to express my unadulterated happiness with this excellent establishment. The Queen & I opted to patronize Song restaurant due to my cravings for dumplings. Originally, I was planning to visit NYC ( Chinatown ), but thankfully we decided to go to West Hartford for the dumplings. The manager & the waitress were extremely cordial, while we decided on the vegetable & chicken dumplings. The manager brought the dumplings to our table & gently mixed the succulent dumplings with their special sweet & spicy garlic chili sauce. After my first bite of the veggie dumpling, I was immediately sold on this place. It was sweet & spicy, but too delicious!!! I must apologize, because the tears are coming, but I digress. We devoured the dumplings with limited conversation between us, that's how delicious the dumplings were!!! The crispy pork with the dry spicy seasoning & the sweet hoision sauce were absolutely awesome. Perfect combinations with the sauce & seasoning and let me not forget the cucumber salad, it was also a winner!!! Its very rare for me to give a restaurant a perfect score, but I'm compelled to do so. The food was simply awesome, tasty, delicious & addicting!!! I can not wait to visit this awesome place again...hopefully, very soon!!!

Song is always my go-to in West Hartford. Been going here for years! Everything is soo flavorful and the staff is very friendly. My favorites are the pork soup dumplings, chengdu wontons and the three vegetable salad! If you're thinking of going here, definitely do it!!

Service was nice, food was ok. Have some special options. Ambience was busy, but not difficult to find parking.

Excellent service and suggestions from servers. Reasonable prices Will definitely return!

One of my favourite restaurants in west hartford! They're serving up the most authentic Chinese dishes, mostly in the form of small sharing plates, so that means more for you try. Whether it's dumplings or Dan Dan noodles, this is the spot to go. If it's a spicy peanut sauce you're looking for, nowhere does it better! Everything I've ordered here has been consistently delicious. The takeout service is also top notch (but if you're craving soup dumplings, better to order in person). Many of my favorite dishes are on the oily side, but incredibly flavorful and never greasy. My recommendations are the Dan Dan noodles (so good I sometimes order 2), seven flavor wonton, soup dumplings, scallion pancake roll, and twice cooked pork noodles. The service is incredibly fast yet the food comes out hot and fresh every time. They offer great recommendations if you're not sure what to order, and can help steer you in the right direction. The price is also super reasonable, which is refreshing for a high quality restaurant in the center.

Located just outside of blue back square, definitely worth checking out if your looking for delicious Taiwanese food just 30 mins of the Bradley airport. The cucumber salad was so refreshing and flavorful I would rank these above DTFs. Everything came out quick and there isn't a dish we didn't love. The biggest surprise of our meal was the giant soup dumplings! Very massive, it caught us by surprise. The chili wonton are a MUST get item because they were juicy and plumb with just amount of sweetness and spiciness to it.

I loved this place. I am so sad I am not in that area often to go all the time! The food was amazing and the staff was equally as amazing! I ordered take out less than an hour before closing and they were so friendly and welcoming. The lo mein and dumplings were so light and fresh! Next time I'm in the area I am going again.

This is my first time here.! This is one of three restaurants owned by the owner of Han Restaurant in Hartford and Shu Restaurant in West Hartford. This is Chinese Szechuan cuisine. Here is what we enjoyed: Tsingtao: This is a Chinese beer. It was nice and cold. It goes well with this meal. Dandan Noodles: Dandan noodles is a noodle dish originating from Chinese Sichuan cuisine. It consists of a spicy sauce usually containing preserved vegetables, lower enlarged mustard stems, or upper mustard stems), chili oil, Sichuan pepper, minced pork, and scallions served over noodles. The dish can either be served dry or as a noodle soup. Steamed Vegetable Dumplings : Amy, a friend of Nebula Trip, is a vegetarian. Seaweed wonton soup: This is a nice variation of the traditional wonton soup. Wonton soup is a bouillon-like soup containing cooked, delicate wontons: dumplings filled with pork and/or shrimp mixed with some vegetables, soy sauce and sesame oil. Sometimes there are still noodles or vegetables such as bok choy in the soup, spring onions or chives are often sprinkled over it. Kendall Jackson Reisling: This is a crisp wine with layers of apricot, peach and orange blossom blend with bursts of aromatic jasmine and a wonderful finish. Chicken & Green Peppers Pancake Roll: A pancake roll is an item of Chinese food consisting of a small roll of thin crisp pastry filled with vegetables and sometimes meat. Chengdu Dumplings (pork): Chengdu dumplings are a type of Chinese dumpling that originated in the city of Chengdu, in the Sichuan province of China. They are typically made with a ground pork filling, and are known for their spicy flavor. Chengdu dumplings are often served in a soup, or with a dipping sauce. Mala Bamboo shoots: This is the hottest dish of the night (next to my braised beef soup). Mala is a spicy and numbing seasoning made from Sichuan peppercorn and chilli. Most commonly, mala is made into a sauce by simmering it in oil and other spices. Characteristic of Sichuan cuisine, particularly Chongqing cuisine, it has become one of the most popular ingredients in Chinese cuisine, spawning many regional variants. Avocado Shrimp : At first, the green topping looks like wasabi, but it's not. It's finely mashed avocado with a cool presentation. Sautéed Pork and Anaheim Peppers Soup: These are very mild. These are really called New Mexico chiles. Braised Beef Noodle Soup: This was pretty spicy so beware. Braising is simply a cooking method that involves browning meat or vegetables in oil, then cooking them in a small amount of liquid in a covered pan, either on the stovetop or in the oven. The long, slow cook time helps develop flavor and turn even the toughest of meat cuts fork-tender. Multi-spiced boiled egg: This unusual add on was found on the lower right hand corner of the menu. It is very unique. It gives the egg a much better Royce but it will not overwhelm you and isn't spicy . Sichuan Spicy Potatoes: This was the surprise of the day. These are really (very) lightly cooked crinkle cut French fries ! The seasoning they use is unbelievably good! Seven Flavor Wonton: These are damn good ! The Seven Flavor Wontons are tender dumplings showered in ground peanuts and sliced green onions. A bowl of Sichuan noodles combined peanuts with minced pork, peppers and cilantro, plus daikon, bok choi and sliced scallions. Mix it all together in a colorful jumble, pick up chopsticks, and enjoy. Twice Cooked Pork Pancake Roll: This was what I ordered. It's not very doing but has a fantastic taste. Sweet Zongzi: This is a dessert but it is not "sweet" at all. Zongzi ([tsŋ.ts]; Chinese: 粽子), rouzong (Chinese: 肉粽; Peh-ōe-jī: bah-chàng) or simply zong (Cantonese Jyutping: zung2) is a traditional Chinese rice dish made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves (generally of the species Indocalamus tessellatus), or sometimes with reed or other large flat leaves. They are cooked by steaming or boiling. In the Western world, they are also known as rice dumplings or sticky rice dumplings. These were not wrapped in bamboo leaves. The outer coating is a thick rice, moist paste. I think it's streamed. The inside is a dry bean paste. A unique flavor. Sweet Deep Fried Bun: These are tasty! They are actually found on the "snack" menu. They come with a delicious, sweet sauce. Chinese donuts ? These are off-menu absolutely delicious fried donuts with a crispy outer coating. There were complementary for Paul's birthday. Yes, I stole a few. Everything on this menu was great !

Tried out Song the other day food was good staff friendly, fast service no complaints

super delicious food and amazing service! the vibe was very peaceful, we came on a thursday night. their servers mix up the dan dan and dumplings for you to make sure the dish is covered in the yummy sauces. the sauce on the dumplings is sooo good, the perfect amount of spice!

My Husband and so stumbled upon this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised at how good it was! We went on Mother's Day so the place was pretty busy but the staff were very diligent in getting to every customer. We ordered the Chengdu Wontons (forgot to take a pic), Beef Lomein and Braised Beef Noodle Soup. All the items were delicious and given in great quantity for the prices. Would definitely recommend!

I love that we have an authentic, friendly, casual spot in West Hartford that is hits the spot and offers convenient access downtown. We shared a beef noodle soup, and also tried the dim sum pork spare ribs. The flavor was indeniably authentic. And the noodles had a great QQ texture that let me know there obviously hand made. Service was friendly and efficient, and the servers spoke both Chinese and English.

This is the real deal, authentic Chinese street food. If all you came for was the soup dumplings you'd be happy but there are so many other great menu items. My favorite restaurant in West Hartford center.

We had a very pleasant experience here. The food arrived timely at our table even though the restaurant appeared busy due to a steady flow of customers. Our servers were very catering and polite as well. We started with the pan fried dumplings which was nicely seasoned and crunchy. It was great with or without the sauce. I loved the Chinese sausage fried rice and all the ingredients blended well together. I was waiting for that gush of soup from the soup dumplings and I was thankful it didn't splatter my face. Hehehe. I do wish there was more though. The spoon was just the right size to use with it too. I never even noticed our server placed it on my plate. Lol. The braised beef pancake roll was so good. The sauce in it was unexpected and well loved. I would love to have had some soup noodles but today was just a hot day. Maybe another day so I can't wait to visit again!

We have been trying to find an authentic Chinese restaurant ever since moving to the area, and Song was a great find. Yummy dumplings, great bao and a very nice staff. The price was right too.

I've brought Song up in conversation multiple times this week and am baffled as to why I didn't have a review up yet. Part of the Dynasty Cuisine group (affiliated with Han and Shu also in greater Hartford), knowing that they had this location in the center I'd already have high expectations. We've gone so many times since opening and here are the items that keep bringing us back. Soup dumplings are a MUST at Song. I audibly gasped and was visibly distressed when ordering takeout and saw they were sold out one time. But it shows how popular they are. Full of rich soup and flavors, we really enjoyed the traditional soup dumpling (小笼包) from Song. My partner and I get the shrimp and pork soup dumplings. They're so delicious we don't even attempt to split it anymore; we each order our own. The classic Dynasty Cuisine appetizers are definitely here too and worth getting again. The Chengdu wontons 红油抄手 and Dan Dan Noodle 担担面 are our go to dishes. Honestly between the appetizer noodles, wontons, and soup dumplings, Song is able to fill us up without breaking the bank. On days we splurge and feast at Song, we also get the Chinese Sausage 香肠炒饭or Yangzhou fried rice 扬州炒饭. I can't have them but my friends also love the scallion pancakes. I'm getting hungry writing my own review, which means I'll be back soon!

The food was okay. Nothing special. I've had much better soup dumplings and fried rice. My bf's soup looked good but I'm not sure. My Chinese burger was just meh.

Placed an order for pickup some months back. Clearly communicated the dish I wanted. When I took the order home, they had got my order wrong. Told them I would bring it back for a refund. They refused to refund me. Plus the order for pick up was so stale that it appeared to have been a week old leftover that they may have been "recycling." The noodles were stuck together with the consistently of cement. Tried to heat it to salvage it, but the taste was off so threw it away. Attached is a picture of after I heated this mess and separated the noodles from each other.

I came here on a Friday after work for dinner with my husband. We love this place but hadn't been in a while so we're so excited to get back. We were able to get a table and place our order right away. Per usual the food was amazing. I did order the bean curd with stewed beef for the first time and I highly recommend it. It was so different and flavorful, and well worth the price. Overall a fantastic visit and I highly recommend stopping in.

I personally love noodles and this place for sure has a wide variety of them. The appetizers are great too, my fav is the scallion pancake wrapped with braised beef. Prices are decent for the food, parking can be a bit tough sometimes but definitely recommend coming if you're a fan of noodles/asian snack foods

I always walked by this place and decided to give it a try. I really enjoyed the different Chinese dishes they offered here. It reminded me of the spots I used to visit in NYC Chinatown. The beef lo mein was a must and came out delicious. They also have a variety of dumpling entrées and appetizers that are catered to your likeness. Highly recommended!

The food is great here! I, personally, would not listen to the one star reviews as I thought it was incredible Asian cuisine. The servers were very welcoming and always refilled water promptly. It's a cozy little restaurant but definitely deserves more people there. If you are thinking of where to go to dinner, go here!

Ended up in West Hartford for another reason and decided to find somewhere to go for lunch. This place ended up being great!! From the road, it's easy to miss. It looked closed when we walked by, but it wasn't! A Chinese place, but different types of food than what I am used to seeing on a menu, I wanted to try everything! They had things like fried rice and lo mein, but they also had dishes like Chinese burgers, sliced jellyfish, and intestine soup, to name a few. We ended up going with the 7 flavor wonton, scallion pancake with beef, and soup dumplings. The 7 flavor wonton was very good, it was the perfect amount of spicy, with a nice peanut flavor I was able to appreciate. The soup dumplings were also delicious - it was a bit of a challenge figuring out how to eat them, but it was fun! The 'soup' inside was much more flavorful than I had anticipated, and once the soup was gone the taste was similar to a regular dumpling. Our favorite was the scallion pancake. Nice and crispy and rolled up with super flavorful beef and a delicious sauce to bring it all together. The service was great, as were the prices. We went on a Saturday afternoon and were a bit concerned it was going to be busy - but it was almost empty! Definitely a good option for lunch or dinner in the area to try something new.

没想到在美国能吃到这么地道的面条和小笼包。面条是真的手工拉面，不是机器面，汤料也非常新鲜量足！赞一个。我们点了番茄牛肉面、青椒肉丝面、川味炸酱面、红烧牛肉面，还有小笼包，每一种都很好吃！祝福老板生意兴隆，越来越好！

Let's talk about authentic and fantabulous!!! The staff is great and awesome with recommending dishes for your next time there asking for feedback from your current order once you finish eating. Every single bite was perfect! I'll let the pictures talk with what we ate. Literally would venture up this way again to try a selection of new plates.

Came here for dinner with friends. We had pancake, steamed pork dumplings, and lamb noodle soup. We sat outdoors and the view of the people walking by was enjoyable, along with the chilly breeze. The food was amazing, delicious, and enjoyable. Will definitely come back to this place again in the future

Song Restaurant: One of the best restaurants in Connecticut for Chinese food -Restaurant: Clean and good decoration -Service: Chinese Speakers -Food: Different dishes and different and some unique ones compared to other restaurants -Location: Easy parking and really good to walk after eating -Comments: Food timing took a little for the dumpling but it was really good

- vegetarian steamed dumplings : these were so filling and the veggies were sautéed well scallion pancakes - this was a little oily but crispy and delicious. The dipping sauce was So glad I found a good dumpling spot in the area. Prices are cheap and delivery was quick!

This restaurant is so delicious! With the hustle and bustle of the restaurants next door, not sure why there isn't always a wait here as well because it is so so good! I don't think we have ever had to wait to be seated. The service is always great, very polite and attentive. This is a great place to go if you're with folks who know how to eat traditionally---order a bunch of plates and share. Can't wait to have family in town so we can order more dishes than when just two of us go! On our last trip we got: -spicy veggie dumplings. They were delicious! The sauce is fantastic. We kept the plate to use the sauce for our main dish. (We were starving and forgot a pic) -I got the beef lo mein. It was very good! I asked for it without onions and mushrooms and my order was accurate. As a picky eater w/ certain foods it's so great having an order come out accurate. Next time I'll ask for more bean sprouts because I love them and could've used a few more veggies. -my partner got the twice cooked pork noodle that comes with pork belly as the meat. I tried it and will definitely be getting it next time, sauce was amazing! The pork belly looked nice and crispy too. He did mention there wasn't much else in it though aside from a few pieces of bok Choy. I would definitely ask for more veggies if I was to order it. Also, in the past they have mixed the noodles for us when they brought to the table, but this time they left it for us to do. Not sure if it was specific to this dish or they just forgot. Either way it was delicious!

It's been a while since we've been here. In part because this is a place that is so much better in person when things are right out of the kitchen. We came by for a small and quick dinner on a Friday and got seated right away. Service is prompt and attentive. This place is so unique around here and has the best soup dumplings in the area. They are steamed and come with that perfect amount of soup to slurp along with the spoon to hold it. Love these. If you don't know how to eat them, put them in the soup spoon, take a small nibble off a corner, slurp some soup that pours out, and then start eating the rest. It's a little messy and not something you should do on a first date, but boy are these fun to eat. The other dishes were equally awesome. Don't miss the beef pancake. It's got layers of flaky goodness without being greasy. Basically a scallion pancake but way better than what you would find somewhere else. The Chengdu wontons have a good amount of heat but love these. Silky smooth. Even the spicy fries are awesome. And best part is all of this is that you can get it all for under $40. So much food and so delicious. A fantastic and overlooked place in the center.

The food here is absolutely phenomenal. It is fresh and it all is so so flavorful. We have been a few times and each time we try what the server recommends and every single thing has been delicious. My friend and I travel 45 minutes to come here because it's JUST THAT GOOD! 10/10

It was a cold and rainy night...so what better than some comforting, warm, and filling soup dumplings from Song? My partner and I call this spot our "Happy Tummy" spot because you always leave with a warm tummy filled with deliciousness! It's impossible to find soup dumplings in Connecticut - more specifically GOOD soup dumplings so this is a gem for us. The shrimp and pork dumplings have such a flavorful broth inside, a very generous serving of meat and shrimp filling, and the wrapper itself is not too thick or too thin - just the perfect thickness. We also ADORE the braised beef noodle soup. It packs a flavorful kick that is for sure going to clear your sinuses! On a cold December night, I highly recommend paying Song a visit. It's speedy service and you will never leave disappointed. We're already so excited to go back for more!

This is what real Chinese food tastes like. Forget the fried, American kind altogether. My friend and I went for lunch today and had our minds blown. The seven-taste wontons are a flavor experience I will never forget. Everything was delicious, and this will quickly become a new favorite place.

Everything was incredible! The flavors are full and on point with creative combinations. Service was fun yet professional. The 7-flavor wontons blew my mind! I look forward to my next visit.

It was decent at first but recently, I am disappointed on their food quality. Their service was ok. I was mainly there for their foods and don't mind their low service. Recently I started to notice, some of their entrees were not made fresh. FYI, nowadays Chinese restaurants can buy premade appetizers and entrees from mass kitchen in NYC. For example, their soup dumplings, I can tell these are not made fresh or they make it themselves. When foods kept in refrigerator or freezer for a while, it tastes stale and no favor. I am a bit of picky about my foods. During the summer when I was 14 years old, I worked at the House of China in Harvard Sq., Boston Ma as a Kitchen helper. Whenever we had an order for dumplings, our head chef, Mr Ma, allowed me to put extra dumplings in the steamer for myself. Not only did I grow up working in restaurants and for the past 20 years, I have travelled throughout China/Asia for work and for that reason, I eat out quite a bit mainly to entertain my customers. Anyway, I hope they will improve and no more short cut otherwise, I will run out of good Chinese place in Hartford area.

Scallion pancake braised beef wrap was so good! Perfectly crispy on the outside and super tender beef on the inside! Wish the quality would be the same closer to home. Glad we found this delicious place. Such a cute street and area too! The beef noodle was nice and spicy. Xiao long bao was also really good. Will be back again!

I'm not sure I was in the same restaurant the reviewers below me were at because the food here is nothing close to authentic and I've had Chinese food in almost every country I've been to. The reviewers is what led me here but I should have know better cause W. Hartford doesn't produce good food. Yeah I said it. I'm a New Haven native so I'm biased. I grabbed lunch with a colleague and wasn't captivated by much of anything in the restaurant. I ordered the fried rice with egg and for my appetizer, I got the scallion pancakes. Not only was my entree mediocre but the scallion pancakes tasted like cardboard. The service was good but the food just didn't do it for me. Hopefully it will get better overtime but probably not since so many people poled

Food - frozen taste, like microwaved and then put on a plate Service - good but a bit slow Ambiance - good It looked authentic but did not taste very good

Very authentic Chinese place owned by the same people who own Shu Chinese in Hartford. I came with my parents and we split a variety of dishes. The dishes all tasted very authentic, but they were incredibly garlic-y. We had to get ice cream after to get the taste of garlic out of our mouths The server was very friendly 6.5

We just tried this place the other night for dinner and loved it. I believe it's the sister restaurant to Shu which is also amazing. My favorite items here are the Dan Dan noodles, scallion pancake beef roll, and the soup dumplings. I am so glad that we discovered song and shu. These are literally our two favorite restaurants now. I wish we were closer but will certainly make the 30 min drive as it is so worth it!

Went here last week and I've got to echo the same sentiment that plenty of people before me have shared. 5 star food, 1 star service. It's a shame to see great food pretty much ruined by bad manners, but it's the truth. I've prepared some notes for front of house in hopes they'll turn things around. (This is based on the things they did the last time I was there.) 1. Don't massage fellow employees openly in front of customers. It's insanely off putting and just weird. 2. If you have a visible hickey (Gen Z takeout girl), cover it up! 3. If someone asks you for to go containers at the take out counter, *** don't walk right passed them with the containers, block their chair at their table, and then spill their food when putting it in said container *** If you're service was half as good as your chicken and pickled vegetable soup you could really turn things around.
