  Having read a write-up in our local paper about the new decor and new menu, I decided to give the place one more try. The food is just as bad as ever. So disappointing. The bok choy tasted burned because the garlic was scorched, and the ma po tofu was sweet rather than spicy and savory. Ugh. My daughter ordered chow fun (what they call "rice noodles" on their menu and which give you a clue as to what discerning and educated palates the average customers must have) and the noodles were undercooked and hard, and stuck together. And for a rice noodle dish, there were surprisingly few noodles; given the quality perhaps that was a good thing.

  Awesome place to eat, great local "owner operated" service!!!  All food is FRESH!  Would eat here every night.  I travel for work all over the U.S., & this is one of the BEST Chinese restaurants found so far, really quiet place too!!!   Very cheap price for the food, a very rare find.

  My absolute favorite Chinese restaurant in Vermont. Yeah, I know it's not like the authentic Chinese food I had in China (which I really didn't care for) but for us Americans who are used to the Chinese food here, this is the best!

  Whirling wontons, Batman, Vermont actually has a good Chinese restaurant! The menu is "traditional" Chinese-American food, so it leans to the egg rolls and kung pao and ma po tofu and whatnot, brown sauces on everything, but it's SO GOOD. I had an egg roll - it was crisp, but not greasy at all, with the most deliciously textured wrapper, and finely shredded, extremely tasty cabbages etc inside. So good. They'll also make you food that's actually spicy, which is rare in Vermont. I also had one of the Szecheuan-style tofu dishes - I forget which one exactly - and it was utterly delightful. Actual chili peppers danced before my eyes. The tofu had a firm, intricate texture without being spongy or chewy. The vegetables were cooked to peak color and crunch perfection. And, ye though the sauce was brown, it wasn't sugary, clingy, or saturated with MSG. That was a damn tasty meal, my friends.
  
  The service was fantastic, friendly and polite and very accomodating. A friend I was with has a weird food allergy, and the waitress made absolutely sure she was safe. They also finish off the meal with cubed pineapple, in addition to the usual fortune cookies - so deicious. I may never wash this hand that held the chopsticks again, I'm that enamoured. Don't go to Single Pebble, go here.
