China Town - Topsham

Was in Topsham and was looking for Chinese food. So obviously looked up on yelp! Chose Chinatown and went to it. Ordered 2 dish and 2 egg rolls. Their egg roll was tasty and was surprised by it. It was rightly spiced not too salty or bland. So good egg rolls. I also ordered beef chow fun. It was very good. The beef in the noodle dish was tender and noodles were just delicious. If I am in the area I would get the beef chow fun again. The kung pao chicken on the other hand was ok. I have had better. I took 1 star off because of their prices. It is a little high. Overall not a bad meal. Service was very fast!

Surprisingly, Chinatown is the first Chinese restaurant I’ve visited that didn’t offer tea; we were given glasses of tap water with ice instead, and tea wasn’t even listed on the menu! While soy sauce decanters were present at every table, they contained the high-sodium version (red cap), and I have come to prefer the so-called light soy sauce (green cap), which wasn’t available here. As for the food, it was decent, with some flavor. The orange sauce on my beef was a bit too thick, but the fresh orange zest added a nice touch. The beef itself was paper-thin pieces coated in batter; it was fried thoroughly but surprisingly wasn’t greasy or burnt. The few pieces of broccoli that came with it were nicely green and had a slight crunch. If I had mustard for my dumpling, I might have felt more positively about it. My wife’s garlic chicken was the standout dish between the two of us. It was flavorful, not dry, and not overly oily. The spring roll was a delightful addition, perfect for dipping in duck sauce. The garlic chicken included a good amount of water chestnut pieces, which helped counterbalance the uniform texture of the chicken. Overall, I felt fine after eating, with no need for a digestive aid when I got to the car, which is why I give this place three stars. Had I felt unwell, it would’ve rated a two-star experience. Ultimately, it’s a solid three-star restaurant, and we would likely return if we found ourselves in Topsham, craving Chinese food during lunch.

The service was excellent—very friendly, and we never found ourselves with an empty glass. Our food arrived promptly and the portions were quite generous. I ordered the orange beef while my fiancé opted for the General Tso's chicken, both accompanied by fried rice and an egg roll. The egg rolls were crispy and enjoyable. We also tried a large order of crab rangoon, which was quite disappointing; there was no crab or sweetness, and while they were cooked well, they lacked flavor. I'm hopeful we'll give them another chance in the future.

Not great... We found the food here to be just average, with several dishes really falling short. The tea tasted like dishwater and was only served upon request. The Pu-pu platter was okay but nothing special, aside from the duck sauce, which had an unpleasant flavor. We also tried the curry duck entree (Thai style?), and it missed the mark with its bland taste and rubbery, fatty duck. The Mongolian Beef was quite good and the highlight of the meal. There are too many better options nearby to recommend China Town.

This restaurant is fantastic for Chinese food in Maine. They have a diverse menu, delicious dishes, and reasonable prices. The combo meals offer an excellent deal, giving you an appetizer, an entree, and fried rice for under $10. I tried the sesame chicken, while my companion opted for the ginger sesame chicken, and we both loved our meals. The service was outstanding; our food arrived quickly and was flavorful. The country music playing in the background adds to the unique Maine vibe of the place.
