Triple Star

They delivered really fast to Bloomfield and graciously brought it all the way to the 3^rd floor. And the food was great (also just really in the mood for chinese food)! I got general tso and boyfriend got orange chicken and lo mein. Will order again!

I just tried this place for the first time and I am not sure that I will go back. The chicken with mixed vegetables was OK. the dumplings were AWFUL!!! A thick piece of dough stuffed with some veggies, the dough was not cooked properly and they just looked horrible, taste was on par with looks.

To quote Judge Marilyn Milian, «stick a fork in me. I’M DONE» — with Triple Star, that is. I will never order food from them again. Today was the second time my daughter and I tried to order General Tso’s Vegan Chicken, and came home to find out it was real chicken. The first time it happened, a few months ago, we drove back and had it corrected. Tonight I just placed an angry phone call, and the young guy on the phone proceeded to insist that it was vegan chicken — WITHOUT EVEN SEEING OUR FOOD. I just told him I was pissed and was DONE and hung up. Why have vegan chicken on your menu when everybody working in the restaurant doesn’t even seem to know what it is? When I placed our order, I made sure the woman repeated back our order. When my daughter picked it up, she also, once again, said vegan chicken, and the woman said yes… I should not have to gnaw on my food to figure out whether it’s meat or not. I guess it’s Tasty or Black Bamboo from now on.

When I walk into a small take-​out place for take-​out, I have clear expectations. I want a decent container of food with a decent sized portion at a decent price. Triple Star delivered on all three counts.
We were heading home from Hartford and picked up dinner on the way. We ordered two combination dinners — chicken and shrimp, and chicken and broccoli. They ran around $ 8 each and included a generous portion of fried rice and an egg roll. We also had a hot and sour soup ($ 1.95) and a won ton soup ($ 1.75).
Here’s my analysis of what I had.
The soup was pretty good –chock full of lots of sliced tofu in a flavorful broth.
The eggroll was forgettable, well maybe memorable if you really like bland shredded cabbage.
The fried rice was average in taste, but it was a pretty generous portion.
The chicken and shrimp was very good, lots of tasty chicken chunks, good shrimp, carrots, water chestnuts and veggies in an excellent sauce.
The guy taking the order was really funny and had had a geat personality.
For what I expected, it delivered perfectly.
An «A-​OK» no matter how you look at it.

I ordered the shrimp and vegetable dinner combo, which came with an eggroll and pork fried rice. My dinner was loaded with big, succulent shrimp. The crab rangoons were large and nicely stuffed. I was satisfied.
Triple Star is a take out place. So I don’t expect gourmet food. I feel the food was average Chinese food.
The staff that work there have always been extremely pleasant and polite.
So, when I am looking for a quick delivery… Triple Star is convenient.
I think there is room for improvement in some of the sauces.
An average place with average food is sometimes OK.

Not the best but I had to get something quick on my break. Got a chicken w/​broccoli lunch special which came with a wonton soup. I but into the wonton and there was a hair in it. Not on it or around it, but within the meat itself. I called and complained. They were very apologetic but I’ll probably not going there again. Not even sure if I’d go if I were dying…

So, is it the worst Chinese food I’ve had? No.
But it’s not very good either.
It’s a take-​out place, so judging it by its interior is like judging a painting by its frame. That sort of misses the point.
The people who work here all seem relatively young and friendly (perhaps overly so – you’re serving me, not trying to be my buddy). But that doesn’t mean you can overlook the food.
On the plus side, the hot & sour soup is fairly standard and not altogether unpleasant. It wasn’t overly peppery as some are prone to do. A little too heavy on huge chunks of tofu too.
But the shredded beef szechuan style was more like a Pepper Steak. Lots of peppers and onions with a few pieces of beef thrown in. Flavorless sauce. Fried rice doesn’t help things and the egg roll is forgettable.
Overall, there are simply better places to eat nearby. Which is probably why I never ate here in the last ten years and probably why I won’t again. They could use some lessons from Black Bamboo.

We’ve been to a lot of Chinese takeouts and sit-​ins in various parts of central to northern Connecticut and to be honest they aren’t that different from each other — just a matter of price and quality.
First and foremost, Triple Star is a takeout place, I wouldn’t consider a good place to sit-​in even though they have a lot of booths. I rarely seen anyone sit-​in. I’ve only done it once with my husband several years ago and I wouldn’t say it was a great experience.
I have to say the food is pretty good. We’ve been to some more pricier places and we don’t think they can match up. The food is almost like home cooking — nothing fancy, lots of unhealthy sauces but very good.
I am not sure what people expect out of a takeout but what they lack in the restaurant environment, they make up in the food. I’ve been to Triple Star for several years now and am still going!

Vile disgusting food. And I’m paying them a compliment by calling it food.

I wish I had read the previous review before giving this place a try. The floor was extremely slippery, and within one minute of ordering, my wife slipped and fell on the way to a table. There were supplies on a couple of the booths and the tables were sticky. We decided to change our order «to go» rather than stay. The food tasted OK, but one of our family got sick. This place will never survive with this type of experience. We will certainly never return! And, I did not receive an itemized receipt, and believe we too were overcharged. They are a mess.

Food is good and reasonably priced. They have never made a mistake on my orders which is rare for these types of places. The staff there is very friendly and helpful.

Triple Star is in the Big Y Plaza — Bishop’s Corner.
The restaurant, is a take out restaurant, with room to seat 20 people. I was very surprised to discover the restaurant in disarray. There were supplies piled in the seating areas, and on the seating. One table left littered with the remains of a meal. There were many signs haphazardly taped up. There were signs advertising Vietnamese Type Beef Soup — Phở $ 6.95. I applaud them for latching onto this trend, however, «Why not master at one thing at a time?» The floor was not clean. Procedurally they don’t seem organized. I was overcharged for my meal, I observed the cashier overcharge another individual. This is VERY surprising. I believe this was happening in error because the person running the cash register, while polite and well spoken, seemed confused about how to use the register. These kinds of mishaps do not instill confidence.
The rent here in not inexpensive, the space is large, a restaurant like this could do well here, if it were run well.
The food was OK. I included a picture and a few pictures of the restaurant. The two stars are because the food that I had was OK. General Tso’s Chicken. I cannot help but think there may be an absentee owner. No one is really taking an interest in this place. Too bad.
