Chinese Restaurants in New Haven, CT

Situated close to the capital at Hartford, New Haven boasts over 30 restaurants in its city limits. One of the reasons for this may be the presence of Yale University, one of the largest and most famous colleges in the United States, but the town's decorated history in cuisine may also attest to the high quantity. Based on local reviews, here is a list of the top three.

Bentara Restaurant

Originating in North Haven back in 1995, Bentara Restaurant moved to its current location in historic Ninth Square following a business boom in 1997. Offering a blend of ethnic and cultural cuisines, Bentara serves dishes of Chinese and Indian food along side inspirations from Dutch, Portugese and English cultures to produce a pan-Asian culinary fusion. Bentara Restaurant offers daily lunch and dinner, as well as a special "Summera" dinner on Saturdays and Sunday. Meals range from $15-20.

Panda Palace Chinese Takeout

Down the street from Sing-Wah is this take-out gem: fluid English phone service, phone calls as the delivery person arrives (a refreshing change to the sitting in the driveway and honking the horn) and a policy of polite behavior. Offering extremely well priced traditional dishes as well as certain American dishes such as boneless spare ribs. Minimal order price for delivery is $10, but the food is consistently rated as high-end on the takeout spectrum.
