Xing Long Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in North Stonington

Dine in doesn't have an actual server, so you order at the cashier, sit down, and they bring it out to you. You are required to pay first before they start making your meal, so if you end up not liking the food you will likely have to deal with some issues there. The food was okay, I can't give it a 3.5 or I would have. The Platter is an easy way to try everything, a little too much turmeric for the wings, the skewers were great, the chicken fingers were less than average with too much batter, little to no crab in the rangoons, and the spring rolls were good as well.. The Dumplings were top notch, everything else kind of fell flat for me. Some items are going to be way better than others for price effectiveness, I wasn't thrilled with my steak and broccoli for the portion...

The restaurant is not clean... There's water stained and mold stain ceiling tiles throughout... Blackened greasy light fixtures and walls... All tables with folding chairs if you decide to eat in.. children running through the restaurant playing belongs to the owners.. now the food... Both entrees with chicken based... I've never seen chicken that resembles what I had in these entrees... They were ripped torn shreds of something that looked like and tasted like fatty chicken skin. The food was extremely over-salted. I don't understand why you would try to save money on a protein such as chicken when it's not that expensive... And use the scraps that were...

We are vacationing in the Stonington area, and Buon Appetito across the street was heavily recommended; long story short, even with a reservation it didn’t work out for us to eat there. Xing Long was right there so we decided to order (honestly, out of lack of options) and WOWZA!!! What a surprise! GENUINELY the best chinese food my partner and I have ever had. Everything was perfect, the egg rolls and bbq spareribs were the highlight. If you haven’t tried it yet, let this be your sign to do so! Will 100% be returning to the area to have some more delicious...
