Xiang Chinese Kitchen — Restaurant in Monroe

The quest for great Chinese food in the Trumbull area has brought me many places! Bridgeport, Monroe, Trumbull, even parts of Fairfield... but my favorite so far, has been Xiang's Kitchen. It was a recommendation from someone in Easton that brought me here! According to them, Xiang's was the best! And I agree. I'm a simple man when it comes to Chinese food, just some mild General Tso's, some beef lo mein, and steamed dumplings. Its the occasional dinner takeout. Xiang's has a combination plate with fried rice and an egg roll, which is great. It comes so stacked into that container, they couldn't fit anymore in there. I love it! Prices are decent too and the food is great....

Well, for starters the cashier was rude and short with us. I ordered one shrimp spring roll and one egg roll. Got 2 egg rolls instead. Then I'm eating the boneless spareribs and notice a long hair with some kind of dust bunny stuck to the tip of it. I literally threw up. I called and they made no offer of reparations whatsoever. I got a call from the manager shortly after and he tried to convince me that "maybe it was a hair from the brush" (like that's so much better) and I said, nope. It was a human hair with a root. He felt dumb I guess and hung up. NEVER GO HERE AGAIN!!!!! Also, I wonder how many friends and family the owner has writing good...

Convenient location on state route 25 (main street), the main north/south route through town, half mile north of the intersection with state route 59 (Stepney road). There are tons of good dining options in the area but not much in the way of good Chinese food with the exception of this spot. This is a relatively new shopping plaza but some business have come and gone already but this place is good enough to last and thrive even in difficult days brought on by the novel...
