Dartmouth Crossing (171 Hector Gate)-modern Orchid Southeast Asian Cuisine

High quality Chinese food. Friendly staff. Simple atmosphere with many tables and seating for maybe 70? Competitive prices. I ate in here for a weekday lunch in probably 2021 one day and didn't review it at the time, so am going on vague memories.Today, Sept 2023: ordered via Skip the Dishes and am very happy with my order. The won tons are a bit softer than I'm used to, which comes across as fresher or not in the fryer as long? Buy still crispy enough, with a noticeable chunk of pork, decent sweet sour sauce on the side. The combo meal with fried rice and sweet sour chicken balls is very good for flavor, portion, quality. The Lo Mein noodles (veg) I requested as extra spicy, and it is spicy, but not as hot as it could be. Bits of broccoli, cabbage, onion, overall good flavor.I definitely want to try many more items on this menu!

Three of us dined in, 2 had the Red Chicken Curry and the other Yellow Chicken Curry. Worst curry I have ever eaten, all 3 of us had a whole bowl of mostly ONIONS. Hay, I don’t mind some onions but our bowls were ridiculously filled with onions. We couldn’t find the chicken, hardly any in our dishes. I was so disappointed.When the bill came we told the waitress, she said she will mention this to the chef and wanted a mandatory 15% tip because there were 6 at our table. What a nutty place, never go there, not worth the disappointment. Terrible food.

Chow mein was great, chicken balls were great, ribs were great. Service sucks ....don't ask for the double happiness (shrimp stirfry) it smells like urine. When we told her it smelled bad and tasted the same she said its cause you don't like. I said it don't specify what you use for broth, it smells like urine. We can't eat it or even smell it. She charged for it anyway. Asked for a pop at beginning of order, no pop was brought and still charged for it. I won't be back. Too bad all because she refused to offer a replacement.

I waited an hour and a half for my food that was promised in 45 mins. We received mush filled curry rolls instead of egg rolls. I was then told that that's what eggrolls are. With curry. But all of their food has curry listed when it's a curry food. Egg rolls are eggrolls. There's no curry in them. I was digusted by eating something that had curry in it when I didn't order it. What if I had an allergy to curry? I would've been screwed. Don't order here. They said the only thing they would do is refund me the four rolls next time I was in the restaurant. Well, for someone who doesn't drive, that'll be impossible. This is called theft. I paid for something and it was something else entirely. EGG ROLLS DO NOT HAVE CURRY inside of them. They are not mush on the inside either. Egg rolls are spring rolls with a bit of meat inside, crunchy cabbage, etc. Gross.

Best Asian food I've had in a long time. Ordered the Dinner for Two (B) and every dish was amazing. The flavors were wonderful, it was much better than any other Asian restaurant I've been to recently. Wonton soup alone is worth coming back for. Servings were huge too.The service was great, staff were very friendly and quick to refill waters.Doesn't look like much from the outside, but once inside it has lots of traditional Asian art and decor. The fish tank was clean and not overstocked, which is great to see. The music was in Chinese (I think) which is another nice atmospheric touch.Parking: Lots of free parking right outside the door.Wheelchair accessibility: Second door is not automatic, and the entrance may be difficult to maneuver. Once inside the restaurant there is plenty of space between tables for wheelchairs.
