I tried Han Restaurant for dinner with a group of 4 adults and 3 children. We each had our own hotpot and ordered a huge selection of meats, seafood, and veggies for the whole table to choose from. I chose the Chengdu Hot & Spicy broth, and it was incredible! The heat-spice level was enough to get your tastebuds awake without bringing you to tears.The meats I personally liked best were the Shu Spicy Beef and the Angus Sirloin. The lamb was fine but I probably won't order that again when I go back. The flounder filet was very good as were all the veggies we got.Service at Han started out extremely attentive. I think we ended up with 4 or 5 people helping us throughout the night. All of the servers were very friendly. Unfortunately, we waited about half an hour to get the bill and try to pay it at the table at the end of our 3-hour stay. At least they didn't rush us out, but it's a good thing we didn't have anywhere to go after dinner. We finally got up and paid at the front.I'm not surprised their food is so good because the other restaurant run by the same owners is also fantastic...Shu Restaurant in Shield St Plaza in West Hartford. These guys know what they're doing! Authentic Szechuan cuisine superbly prepared, served by very friendly staff, and at a reasonable price...doesn't get better than that!

2 birthday girls wanted to go here, not the grandparents choice, but we agreed. The appetizer, (rangoon, wings, and even calamari were terrific. I should have stopped there! I had the beef basil thai fried rice and grandpa had the chicken. The kids and grandkids ordered their favorites and wither ate it ll or took leftovers home ( including mine!). Mostly rice, little meat, and not hot even ordered medium. I asked for a side of the wing sauce which was very testy (also $2.95 for a saucer!) to spice up the rice.very crowded, you should make a reservation.

After getting tired of Vietnamese and taking a break, I recently came back and ordered some carry-out here -- still as good as before. Fresh ingredients, freshly prepared, clearly home-made. Absolutely delicious. Having seen some other Vietnamese restaurants that were not so nice, I'm bumping my rating up to 5 stars.

This is one of the better Indian restaurants. We've tried multiple dishes but have settled on weekends and the buffet as our favorite. Never had anything there I would have said no too. Some things can set your mouth on fire with spicy chili peppers but it's a good pain! Chicken soup is a must. Shrimp, goat etc... Well worth the price of the buffet and very friendly staff. Always clean and never too noisy.

Read some good reviews so it was my first time dining here and I chose this place for the awesome $10 dinner specials menu. Drove here to find out they are not serving the $10 dinner specials tonight because of the New Years Day holiday?!? Won't be coming back here.

This restaurant offers authentic Sichuan dishes, most notably, the soups. We all had one of the specialty soups, which come with beef or pork and rice noodles. The bowls are huge, so a soup bowl is most definitely enough as a full dinner, well, maybe with appetizers! We had the scallion pancakes and dumplings for appetizers, both of which were delicious. I think what characterizes Song is the authentic nature of these dishes. They are purely Sichuan, not Chinese American or fusion. Song was a real treat. Enjoy!

A neighbor told us about this restaurant and sung their praises.Empty restaurant on a Saturday night on a holiday weekend at 6:00 PM. Pleasant atmosphere with many tables and booths. Initially disappointed that the tea we ordered came without any tea in the teapot. Obviously they dunked a teabag in the pot and removed it quickly. After complaining the waiter returned with a second pot that was equally very light tea. We are used to being served Jasmine tea with loose tea.The "Gold Bags" appetizer was excellent as was the wonton soup. The most disappointing was the shrimp Pad Thai. While my lady liked the dish, I found the taste to be awful.When we received the bill we discovered that we were charged $4.00 for two cups of weak tea. The soup was $4.95. The Pad Thai entree was on the high side as well. Now while this is West Hartford it is also Park Avenue, not the Center it Nlie Back Square!We will not be returning anytime soon.

Saturday evening and the place was packed. Typical West Hartford. Thankfully we prefer bar dining and scored two seats immediately. Service largely solid. A new bartender has taken over in recent months and seems to have a better understanding of quality service. Spring Rolls and Green Curry are our go-to's and each time are prepared consistently. An upgrade to their wine list would be fantastic - one can hope!

2. Shu Restaurant

Shu is considerably more "authentic" than most local Chinese restaurants and heavily patronized by local Asian diners. You won't find some of the overly-sweet Americanized staples here, but even cautious eaters will still find some familiar and pleasing dishes. The menu features many items not usually found elsewhere, such as cuttlefish, rice jello, whole fish with pickled vegetable, corn pie, and lotus, which will please the more adventurous. For the less adventurous, you will find chicken in black bean sauce, noodles in peanut sauce, dumplings, and Lo Main. There are plenty of vegetarian choices. We tried a duck entree which turned out to be mu shu duck with pancakes. Unlike the dish at other restaurants which are primarily a mound of cooked vegetables with a little duck, this was a mound of duck with some greens on the side; it was delicious. We tried the chicken with black bean sauce because I love the funky, fermented bean taste, but I was disappointed. There were almost no beans at all, and no fermented bean flavor. It was very bland, and more like Hunan chicken without any heat. Our party also tried three different dumplings. The steamed vegetable dumplings with a soy-based dipping sauce were delicate but bland. The Seven Flavor wontons and Hot and Sour wontons had lots of flavor, and despite the two chili heat rating, really weren't too hot at all. In general, we were pleased with the food and definitely plan to go back, making sure that we order foods with chilis beside the title. Service was excellent, very attentive. Our courses arrived on time. (We did see a table that came in later served their dinners before we were, but it was because we ordered appetizers and they didn't.) If you plan to go on a Friday and don't have reservations, arrive before 7 pm; it started filling up then, and there was a line waiting to get in by 8 pm. Plenty of parking in the lot. BTW, if you want to shop at A Dong, it closes at 8 pm.
