Stellar 66

I've been to the Fry's grocery store many times and always seen this place but never checked it out until now. The restaurant has great space. Not sure if they do events, but this would be the place to get a large part of people. The ambiance is nice and elegant. My husband and order the spicy wonton dumplings with beef noodle soup. The spicy wontons were not spicy at all but more so the dumplings in a bed of chili oil. They're your average delicious dumplings. The beef noodle soup we enjoyed the most. The broth was decent, savory and not too salty. I appreciated the lean beef. The last few beef noodle soups I had were mostly fatty pieces and not enough protein. Service was good. The restaurant has a bar with TVs. Great for watching the games. Plenty of parking. The only downside is probably, price, if that matters. Most of the dishes ranged from $15 and up.

Walking into this place and I can honestly say it was weird. Very spread out. Moon on the wall. One area of tables had Togo containers and random employees stuff scattered everywhere. Basically the area is the employee section. The music playing is remade masterpieces that make you want your head to explode. I'll also add it was Friday night during prime hours and the place had five tables occupied. We ordered drinks and an appetizer. 2 drinks came out then another and then mine took another 15 minutes. Then we ordered entrees. Then 3 of the four entrees came out. My wife ordered a glass of wine. Then the appetizer finally came out. My half duck was m.i.a. 10 minutes later my duck came. No wine yet and not surprised. Food was good. Nothing special. My salt and pepper duck bones were basically uneatable hard bones that tasted like it was cooked with a pound of table salt. It was seriously a stoke level of sodium. Server never asked us how anything was or checked on us. Instead he was helping the buser clean multiple tables. I eventually had to ask for the wine which he obviously had forgotten about. Had to steal napkins of other tables.Men's room was dirty.Server awkwardly stood over my shoulder while paying the bill. No "thanks for coming" or anything. So that's it. Besides the salt and pepper duck bones the food was okay. Everything else was a total disaster. One and done.

(+) hot & sour soup, peking duck, braised beef noodle soup (-) service, brought out 3 bowls and 3 spoons for table if 5. Had to ask multiple times to bring out enough bowls and spoons. Also nothing out only 2 place settings (chopsticks, plates, napkins) for 2 people. Weird. We also ordered a bottle of wine. There were obviously 3 adults and 2 kids. He brought out 4 glasses and ask us how many glasses we want. Very odd. It's like they randomly bring out utensils without looking at the table. While the food is out, some of us had to wait for the server had to back and forth to get the proper number of utensils. The ambience were quite dark for cheese food. We couldn't see what we were picking up. Our tea that we ordered never came out. We ordered a bottle of wine which was out. We ordered a different bottle of wine. The bill still show the wine that was out and the tea that we didn't get. They fixed the bill when asked.Overall, new business of 4 months. Still have many kinks to iron out.

Stellar 66 is little out of our way, but we wanted to try it. Very glad we did because they had many of our favorite dishes here. They had a set menu which made decisions little easier. Our favorite was the spicy wontons, which came with lot of extra sauce so we ended up using it on other dishes. Spicy XLB was interesting but probably stick to regular one next time. The garlic spare ribs were little on the dryer side but had lot of flavor. The fried rice and Dan Dan noodles were as expected. They were serving Peking duck at the next table; which looked very good so made a mental note to order next time. Enjoy! Highly recommend!!

My wife and I came for lunch on a Saturday at 12:30 PM. It wasn't busy, only a couple other diners dining. The restaurant shares a parking lot with multiple businesses but you won't have any trouble finding a spot. We started with Szechuan chili oil wontons. They were juicy but not too spicy. We then shared the braised beef noodle soup. That beef was so tender! The broth was tasty and the noodles were al dente.Nice modern/elegant ambiance here, it would be a nice place to take a date! Tons of seating, it could accommodate large groups. They have a bar with TVs to watch the game too!Overall, I had a pretty Stellar dining experience!

It's been a while since I've really craved or gotten Chinese food but Stellar66 made me want to get this back into my normal "rotation"! We tried a handful of things and I really liked all of them; plus, it was all very reasonably priced for the servings. My favorite was the peking duck. It was flavorful and moist, and I thought it tasted really good in the wonton wrappers as "tacos". The half size was perfect to share among four people as an app / side. The soup dumplings were good (standard but hit the spot) and I liked the thicker wrapper, maybe relative to other places. We also had Dan Dan noodles and beef & broccoli. I liked the flavor of the Dan Dan noodles but wish there had been a little more meat. The beef & broccoli was some of the best I've had! We had pretty standard service, and the food came out at a good pace. We didn't have to wait too long for our orders but it wasn't rushed out. The ambiance was pretty low key -- quiet, casual and a little dark aesthetically, but I enjoyed the food enough to not care much one way or the other.

Overall a great dinner. The ambiance and interior decor is hip and modern and upon entering I thought the food would be more expensive than it was --the prices were actually very reasonable. Service was also very good throughout the meal.We ordered a variety of dishes to try. The chow mein and Dan Dan noodles had very fresh noodles and were very good. The Kung Pao chicken was standard but we had a couple grizzly pieces of chicken. The soup dumplings weren't my favorite --the tops of the dumplings were a little tough and I thought they could use a bit more soup. The eggplant green beans and Yangzhou fried rice were both tasty.We didn't try any drinks but the cocktail menu looked good and we would definitely come back with more people to try out the Peking duck. This restaurant is a great addition to Gilbert for solid Chinese food in an aesthetic and clean sit down setting.

The hype from all the foodies feeds did not live up to the actual experience :( I was really looking forward to their Peking duck but was not impressed at all after finally getting to try it. We opted in for the half duck portion since we wanted to try other items too and Peking duck ain't great for leftovers..at least the ones I'm used to. The one here is more like a sliced duck dish, not the crispy skin with a bit of meat you get with the legit Peking duck. So yes, I was rather disappointed because I was so excited to finally have a place near us that offer this amazing dish. The service was okay. The only times we saw our server was when she seated us, took our order and brought our check. Food was delivered by other employees as a quick drop off. The dishes they use are so pretty and give it such a luxurious look/feelLove that decor of the place. It would be a great date night spot, esp with the bar. They also have late night happy hours as well

Who knew space food could be so good ... and not freeze dried. This has been on my list for a while and I'm glad we finally got a chance to check it out. The abeyance was surely not what we were expecting but it was clean with beautiful light fixtures. I really want to know the story behind the name! We had their famous duck, dumplings, and milk tea. Their tea is delicious and soothing, I could drink it all day. The fat on the duck was rendered nicely and was delicious. I highly recommend this place!

So good!! Get the Szechuan chili wontons and the garlic chow mein! Cocktails were tasty, unique, and cute!!
