    Best Chinese-Japanese spot in Wallingford, no question.Super clean inside, and even the parking lot looks good. Everything I've ordered has been fire -- not one miss. The staff is crazy friendly too. I can totally see this place turning into the go-to spot for everyone in town.

    Wonton Soup with crispy noodles
    Michelle S.

    I have been to Diner's Haven 3 times now. While the name does not scream Asian food, inside it is a bright, clean restaurant with ample seating and a sushi bar. Twice we were there for sit down meals, something that had been sorely missed in the area. Wontons in the soup are small and delicate. Pu Pu platter does not come with a heat source, but there is a nice variety of tasty appetizers included. The one thing that makes this restaurant stand out is the quality of the vegetables contained in their dishes. Fresh and crisp. Their fried rice isn't anything special. It doesn't really have much in the way of add-ins. I think there was only peas & corn in it. Their shrimp with mixed vegetables is excellent. Good sized shrimp. The sit down menu includes combinations that come with soup and fried rice with your entree. Don't expect leftovers, if you order a combo. I just wish food was hotter. It was warm at best. We will return.

    My friends have been raving about China King for a quite some time. They love their chicken with…read moregarlic sauce dinner combo (with an egg roll and fried or white rice). I was a bit skeptical at first, but one of them owns a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco so I had to believe his word when he said the food here was good. I decided to grab my first take-out from this place tonight and called in that order ahead. The food was ready when I got there in 10 mins! The gentleman was friendly and accommodating when I requested for chili oil as well. The restaurant has tables and chairs so one can actually dine in. However, it's mainly for takeout so a lot of people just come to pick up their food or have it be delivered. There is a large parking lot so not to worry. Aside from good portion I was given, I was impressed by the well-balanced proportions of fried rice and garlic chicken/veggies. Some places like to skimp out on the meat and veggies by giving you more rice, but this was not the case here. The veggies were not overcooked and the chicken was soft and tasted fresh. As for the massive egg roll, it was crispy and had good filling of pork and veggies. FYI my friend said that you can switch out the egg roll for a spring roll. The requested chili oil on the side was a great condiment to the dish since I love spicy food. Lastly, the fortune cookie tasted fresh... I was shocked by the poor reviews below, but I realize that the ownership has changed so I recommend giving China King another try and it will prove its worthiness of the crown (haha). I will definitely come back here again especially during their lunch hours with great prices!

The food is always good and I like their sesame chicken the best! The sauce they use for the sesame chicken is always good, it's not too sweet. There is no more seating I the restaurant since Covid. But the place seems clean. I like that they have a table set up for all the sauces that is needed. Some Chinese places either give you too little sauces or too much. I love picking up and bringing it to the park near by.

I could not believe the size of the portion. I always finish my meal, and this was the first time I was too full to finish. The chicken, and pork fried rice with broccoli was delicious. Here is why I didn't give them a five star rating. When I walked in at their one and only table that they have, was I women, a teenage boy, and girl. The girl got up from the table, took my order, and said it would ready in 10 minutes. As I was a waiting for my order I notice there was no one in the kitchen cooking. After about four minutes the women at the table playing with her phone decided to get up, and start my order. It would have been nice if the customer came before playing on her phone, and they left their one and only table open for a customer to use.

So friendly. Is the food exceptional? To me no, but my parents enjoy it. Tonight we started with crab rangoons. Pretty good. Sauce on the side not very exciting. A chili sauce would be better. I got a sushi roll with White tuna inside and cooked shrimp on top and wasabi mayo. I forget the name of the roll but it was better than the two times I've ordered takeout. Miso soup was also good. Their soup bowls are in the shape of a heart which is super cute. Dad got some sort of a mixed protein dish with brown sauce (had shrimp, chicken and beef). Mom got the chicken and garlic sauce. They both got fried rice on the side. I tried it and it was very bland. Dad also got a salad with his meal and the ginger dressing was not very good. Red coloring to it. Usually ginger dressing is more on the orange side. Dad also got the Malaysian chicken coconut soup to start and it could use a bit more flavor. Was a bit watery. Mom loved her sweet and sour soup. Nice that this place is 5 minutes away. Cheshire needs more restaurants. Def not my fav restaurant in town though. Food to me is just ok.

    Best Thai food in Wallingford hands down…read more The pad Thai is the best I've had. It's hard not to order it every time. But everything on the menu is delicious so ya gotta branch out. The location in in between two pizza places on the North Haven side of Rt 5 in Wallingford. It's our go-to take out place. Recently we dined in and it was even better. Their tom kha is so flavorful. The green curry beef noodle dish was huge and delicious with the right amount of spice. Unassuming simplicity inside with more take-away orders than diners, it seemed. But dining area was nice. I've dined here years ago and it was different. I imagine they changed owners or renovated in some way, because it's extra good.

Food- spring rolls are always good. However, I will say my go to is generally the pad Thai. Sometimes it is spot on and other times it almost tastes like there are different cooks, and it where it tastes like it came from a wok that is too hot/singed flavor and the right flavors just aren't there. I did notice they changed to more biodegrading to go products which is nice though! My family member got the Massaman Currt and reported it was not as good as usual, this time around it was very soupy with minimal spice. I've never eaten inside but this looks like a small hole in the wall spot from the outside , it is very quaint. Overall, return out of convenience when visiting the area from time to time but wish there were more consistency with when those dishes have been closer to their best!
