Chopstick House II — Restaurant in Colchester

FOOD ALLERGY ALERT!!! I had a really terrible experience with a food allergy, and I need to share it to help prevent it from happening again to someone else. When I called to place my order, I informed them I have a peanut allergy, and asked if they had any peanuts or peanut oil that they use. She said no, firmly. I asked again, giving more options, and she said no again. When I began eating my dinner, I started feeling off. I later realized I was having an allergic reaction and took some benadryl. I have a very severe peanut allergy and would normally go into anaphylactic shock, but luckily I did not eat a lot. It was an incredibly stressful night, as I was very ill and waiting to see if the reaction would worsen. I almost called an ambulance. I called the restaurant the following morning to inform them, and their response was that they misunderstood, they thought I was "only allergic to peanut oil", which they don't have. I told them a peanut allergy warrants all the information for all the meals on the order. They did not show compassion or care, I am very disappointed in their negligence. I rate...

Charged $7 to substitute fried rice for white rice on an order, was explained that I would get a large fried rice whereas I would normally only get a small white rice, sure a touch expensive but works for me. When I got home I opened my food and was staring face to face with a small sized take out container. When I called back to resolve the issue the guy proceeded to tell me they have two different sizes of large fried rice and was then on unpleasant to deal with and refused to do anything to make things right or admit that it was at least a bit misleading.

Won’t be returning, instead check out Hung Tao about a mile away!

Also let’s talk about the food I did get, rice was crunchy and dry, chicken tenders over fried and more chewy than a leather shoe

And Mongolian beef more alike a beef stir fry, with a pale colored beef, baby corn, snow peas and celery. Vs my expectation of crispy beef in a chili sauce with some scallions and maybe bell peppers.

Stopped by June 8, 2025. So disappointed. Ordered Beef with Broccoli, and Pork fried rice. The pork fried rice is so over salty (awful) with large chunks of onion. Unsightly. No flavor just a salty burn with huge chunks of onion, not even a nice dice. Beef with broccoli was just ok with beef on pink side. No duck sauce packets available only soy sauce packets. Inside Restauraunt looks like a huge storage shed with cardboard boxes from floor to ceiling as to hide/block part of Restauraunt. Big used tires on floor ??? Where is health department? Not a Restauraunt, appears to be a storage facility with a small kitchen and a wok. 😩 $30 right in the garbage. Closed today or I would...
