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.

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 consi
