With most my reviews i am straight to the point so you can get an honest opinion and be on with your day.
Pros: Keep in mind this place fits into the ""cheap chinese food" Category" but in this category they lead the pack! AMAZING amounts of food per serving/Meal combo, VERY cheap prices and the food is always fresh and hot! Â Menu selection is fantastic and the staff is friendly! An extreme rarity i find in chinese food locations these days. Â
Cons: No real place to eat inside so plan to take the food home or not at all, Meal combo prices raise considerably for dinner (although you get an extra appetizer at dinner).
Of all the cheap level chinese food places in the immediate area this by miles ahead is my favorite.
Average Chinese food but twice out of the last three takeout  experiences, they forgot to put an item from my order, in the bag.  I had to drive all the way back to get it and there was no customer service on their end other than an apology.  After the second time, I figured this was more of regular occurrence than a fluke and have taken my business elsewhere.
Review Source:A so so Chinese take out restaurant. The prices are good and the selections are the usual suspects. I would say they are a step up from the gross greasy Chinese places, but have a long way to go to reach the good Chinese level.
The beef teriyaki is very good. The scallion pancake, sweet & sour chicken & orange beef are all good. The spare ribs are very greasy and the meat is really low quality. I also have not liked any of the pork dishes I have gotten from them.
We love this place. It's only takeout which is fine and close to home. When we first moved to the area, we traveled a bit for decent Chinese and then this place opened!! They have the best crab rangoon and beef teriyaki I've ever had. The wings are crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside (at first I thought they may have been overcooked but they fooled me; they were perfect). I also love their Moo Shu chicken. My husband likes their pad thai but it tastes nothing like any pad thai I've ever had (I don't like it here). Excellent General Gao. I love the fact they have a pupu platter for one. It's a lot of food for a very decent price.
Try it...you'll like it!
Main House is tucked away in the Mill Run Plaza just a few minutes outside of Groton center. Â It is very small, meant for takeout only, with only a few chairs lining the window and a wall-mounted TV in case you are waiting for food. Â The staff are friendly, and while I was waiting they even allowed the child of another customer to come back and see behind the counter.
Their menu is pretty standard, with similar offerings to other local takeout spots. Â They have a small list of Thai dishes as well.
We ordered our normal litmus test of items: General Gau's dinner with chicken wing (yes, 1 wing) and boneless spareribs, Shrimp with Lobster Sauce dinner with crab rangoon (3) and egg roll, and pan fried peking ravioli. Â Portion size is generous, though prices are notably higher than other restaurants.
The food is hit-or-miss: some things were great while others were far from. Â Surprisingly, their General Gau's is the best we've had in this area so far, which is great because few places do it right. Â The appetizers were all pretty good, with the boneless spareribs shining the brightest: big pieces, not a lot of fatty bits, and you could really taste the smoky grill flavor. Â Unfortunately, the pork fried rice, which is the staple of the meal, was noticeably lighter in color and disappointingly bland. Â Had to add soy sauce to give it some more flavor, but unfortunately they only provided 2 packets, which was not enough to share between us. Â I did not enjoy the lobster sauce at all. Â Appearance-wise, they prepare it similar to Asian Imperial Garden in Lunenburg, with peas and carrots mixed in, but the taste just wasn't there - it had a sweet undertone that just didn't work for me. Â
Expect to wait a little longer for your food. Â I was told 15 minutes, but it ended up being 30. Â They didn't appear super busy, but perhaps they cook everything first come, first serve. Â I could see them cooking in the back as I waited and basically saw them put together my order. Â Make sure to ask for hot mustard before you leave - they don't give it as a default condiment.
I gave Main House 4 stars because they look promising, despite the mixed-bag experience. Â We will be back to sample some of their other dishes to determine what else is good there.
