China Wok - Sanford

I have to say, I've eaten at numerous Chinese restaurants, and this one stands out for a few reasons. Firstly, they maintain a very clean environment and take COVID-19 precautions seriously. There are plastic shields at the counter, hand sanitizer available for everyone, and the staff wear masks. As for the food, I appreciate that they don’t overly drown it in oil. I also ordered from their lunch specials, which was a great choice.

For lunch, you can get a protein, lo mein, and a soup for under $10, and the portions are generous! There's usually a good number of diners inside, with plenty of stands and tables for seating. While the food photos might not be the most glamorous, the quality definitely exceeds that of a typical three-star Chinese place. Plus, they give you a few cookies (I think they're almond) along with fortune cookies. I highly recommend giving this place a try; you definitely get your money’s worth. During my last order, I got a big beef lo mein, shrimp moo shu with lo mein (though it comes with a regular-sized lo mein for an extra charge), 20 crab Rangoons, and 10 sugar donuts—all for $30. That meal was enough for at least three people, with leftovers!
