I stopped at China Garden for dinner after getting out of work. This Chinese restaurant is located in the BF downtown section, offering dine-in or takeout. They offer lunch and dinner combination plates and a small Chinese buffet, which does not offer much and looked very dry out and the food had been sitting out a while. The buffet had the basics including lo mein, rice, beef & broccoli, soups, and dessert. They had a can of pineapple open at the buffet. The buffet is $5.95 (lunch), $8.45 (dinner) and Sunday ($7.99). Takeout buffet is by the pound at $4.19 (lunch) and $4.99 (dinner). So, I was definitely getting a combination plate made to order. I got the C20: Beef Lo Mein with Pork Fried Rice and Egg Roll ($7.25 plus tax). The beef was on the chewy side, but juicy and the noodles were soft. The tan pork fried rice with chunks of pork was decent and the egg roll was tasty, as the case most of the time. The food was overall decent and the service was efficient and I got my food in 10 minutes.

The host seemed nonplussed when we wanted to order ala carte rather than buffet, but the service was friendly and quick even though we had to remind him we needed plates after the food was presented. The mister and I ordered kung pao chicken, szechuan pork, and black bean shrimp, and all three dishes were very alike, with only a small variation in vegetables, and one obviously had peanuts tossed on top and another black beans stirred in to what tasted like the same brown sauce for all three. They were all tasty, albeit a bit monotonous. The real surprise was the dumplings. Pan-fried, thick-skinned, and well-seasoned, they were by far the best we've had in New England. The dipping sauce was very tasty although a touch too sweet. We didn't try the buffet, but the mister commented that at least it looked like it had been well taken care of, nothing too old or nasty looking even though it was mid-afternoon. Other people came in and universally sidled up to the buffet, so maybe we'll try that next time we're there closer to the lunch rush.

Ehh...maybe I should have rated this a little higher, just because I don't know if you are really going to get better Chinese food in Bellows Falls, Vermont. We were just passing through, and found this place on the iPhone. Each "dinner combination" is about 7.50, and it comes with pork fried rice (the kind where the rice is bright yellow), and a spring roll (that was really, really, bad.) The portions are humongous though, so no need to worry about that. They had an alright variety of American-ified Chinese food. Like curry, friend rice, chow mein, broccoli beef, etc. They also had steamed stuff too, so if you aren't feeling the stir fry, there is something for you. They also had a free ice cream promotion. So after dinner (maybe after lunch too?) you get a free bowl of ice cream. That's always good.

I stopped at the Chinese restaurant during our tour of Vermont. It is a very nice and clean restaurant. It is family owned and the server was nice and friendly. The menu items offer many varieties. They got the best "Chicken Teriyaki". I recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling by this area.

I love going here to eat. It is quick and easy and just over the border from New Hampshire. The food is Perry yummy in my opinion. Fresh ingredients and good friendly service. They have a buffet but normally I take out. Love their crab rangoons and beef teriyaki!

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
