Wok On the Wild Side — Restaurant in East Granby

This was the first time at this restaurant. I got the veggie delight and white rice. The white rice seemed stale. The cooks didn’t have gloves on or hair nets, and one of them sneezed while making the food and didn’t wash his hands. I ate the food there and about an hour later I was already in the bathroom with diarrhea. I awoke that night several time with stomach cramps, vomiting and more diarrhea. I had chills and sweat, and had to call out of work. I called the restaurant and informed them and they were yelling and trying to tell me I had gotten sick because of the weather. I told them I was not sick prior to eating the food and as a nurse, I knew what symptoms came with cold weather. I asked for a refund on my credit card and they said they didn’t have my card information. I went into the restaurant and the owner and his wife were hostile and saying the same things they had said on the phone. I asked for cash refund and I had the receipt. The owners wife started throwing the money on the counter. I had to remind her I had given a tip so she threw some more money on the counter, but still not the entire amount I had spent. I will never go back there again. They were rude when I was just trying to be helpful so that no one...

This is the 3rd time I've come for lunch, the food is good, and fast service. But apparently the adult female who is usually there, has a problem with giving you tea, and water, and the duck sauce in a bowl. Each time has given significant attitude. Today, after asking twice for a water, I still never got one. The duck sauce, they want to give the packets. Im in a restaurant, I don't want to open little sticky packets!! For the tea, she was angry I asked for sugar last time, so I got it myself today. My food was served, and she talked on the phone in a booth for half of my meal, loudly talking in her language. I was a waitress for years, and was not rude at all. Even as she asked what I wanted to order, she walked away while I tried to tell her, having her back to me . Food was at the table when I returned from the bathroom, but there was no check in after the food wad delivered.

Worst part....she sucked in her shots, and spit them out into the trashcan in the kitchen....

The food here is what I've come to expect from a non-specialized Chinese restaurant. The portions were big but lacking in flavor. There was a distinct lack of savoryness.

Once upon a time, they used to provide in-house dining. However, ever since COVID, they only offer take-out. This, despite most places returning to the traditional restaurant model of service.

It's hard to complain about the food when you're expectations are low. I don't necessarily blame this place for its lack of quality: there has been a general trend away from the traditional Americanized Chinese style of cuisine. In its place are more authentic flavors and styles. Not that I have anything against that. It's just that sometimes you want a good General Tzo's with some fried rice. An additional problem comes the cut of meats used because there's not enough cooking that will disguise the cheapest possible cut of beef or questionable...
