What an incredible place for Chinese food in Wallingford. Don’t expect to order online, you have to do it the old school way by calling ahead or ordering in person. The lack of ordering convenience is made up by the quality of food the restaurant offers.

The lady in front was very nice and provided exceptional customer service. After ordering, my food came out hot and ready in less than 10 minutes. For only around 8 dollars I had a delicious sesame chicken lunch special with a can of sprite. The portions were fair and plentiful for the money I paid. I finished it all and returned to work happy, satisfied, and full. I would happily return the next time im craving Chinese in Wallingford.

The woman that took my order was very friendly and nice. I got my lunch to eat there as I was working on the road. They had 2 tables, one that seats 6 and one that seats 4. No issues, it was described as having tables and I got one. I went on a hot day. The temperature inside was brutal. It was so hot they probably needed a sauna license. It wouldn’t have bothered me so much but I ordered a simple lunch special. A pork roll (egg roll), pork fried rice, and shrimp with lobster sauce. It took over 20 minutes to get just the egg roll. No plate or anything, just a paper sleeve. Unlike Massachusetts and a lot of RI and NH they use packets for duck sauce. Typically found down south. Not the apple or apricot based sauce that the rest of New England loves. After a half hour the food came. I considered asking for ice to pack my groin and armpits to avoid heat stroke. New England going back to the Polynesian influence and the access to ingredients like molasses have always made their rice brown. The rice here was yellow and didn’t contain much flavor. The shrimp with lobster sauce was a white sauce made with egg whites. The shrimp were cooked right and the sauce wasn’t horrible. However, traditional New England Chinese lobster sauce is usually brown made with either oyster sauce or black bean paste and contains minced meat, usually pork. Also originated in the Boston area restaurants as one of the ways they prepared Chinese lobster. The only difference was there was a little more ginger in the original sauce. If you are from MA you will be extremely disappointed. I also have to note that 30 minutes to get lunch in a sauna is unacceptable.

Zoey and her husband are the best – they are the nicest people. They take the time to know their customers. Food is always on point and fresh. I will always go here over anywhere else!!!

Most friendly service ever. They even helped carry my order to my vehicle. Traveled from new York and tried this place for lunch. Best Chinese food I’ve had in a very long time. Much better than what we have in ny. Great rice and boneless spare Ribs. Everything was great and tasty.

I always ordered here when it was in the old location and the family who owns it are lovely people, the food was delicious and reliably so. The prices are what you’d expect to ay when ordering Chinese food. I love this place but now I moved right over the Wallingford line into Meriden and they refuse to deliver there and i am disabled now so I can’t drive anymore. Which means I will not be able to have their food ever again and it’s sad because I’ve always enjoyed it so much. But I highly recommend this place in the Wallingford/Meriden area. It took my family a while to find a good Chinese restaurant when we moved to the area originally, but this is it.

The place is hot, I mean really, really hot. I waited 15 minutes to place an order for 2 egg rolls, which were kind of small, which is no biggie in itself. Unfortunately, they tasted like burnt grease. It’s a shame because I love patronizing small businesses here in town, but sadly, I won’t go back. I’m sure the owners are very nice people, but really, not even a fan in the restaurant and to make a customer wait to place an order while the lady at the counter had a conversation, speaking solely Chinese, with the guy doing the cooking is very certainly not even fair customer service. It was probably her husband, but it seemed like it almost didn’t matter that there was a customer willing to stand there, in that excessive heat to place an order. Originally, I was going to order the Beef and Mushrooms, but waiting for her conversation to end with whoever it was just made me decide to order something I thought would be fast. The lady even said to me, “Go outside if you like,” to wait for 2 egg rolls, which took almost 15 minutes to deep fry them as well. When you add that to the time waiting to place an order, with nobody else there, just seemed like my business, any business for that matter didn’t concern her, or her communications partner. I wish them well but I came, I saw, I waited, I tasted and, no thank you

My favorite chinese restaurant was closed so my daughter and I decided to give this place a try. First of all I have no faith in reviews because the food in NO WAY LIVED UP TO the ratings! I’ve never had sescuhwan chicken without broccoli. It was full of onions and mushrooms and the rice had maybe 4 pieces of pork. But the real icing on the food was the hair that was included!
DON’T EAT HERE.
