A favorite Delano hole-in-the-wall restaurant is closing after 20 years in business

One of Wichita’s favorite hole-in-the-wall Chinese takeout places will close in less than a week.

Egg Roll King owner Chi Luong says that his last day in business will be Friday, Feb. 26. He’s planning to retire and close the restaurant at 1321 W. Douglas, he said.

Luong opened the restaurant in the Delano neighborhood in 2001, and it specialized in quick to-go meals with entrees like sweet and sour chicken, cashew shrimp and beef broccoli. His restaurant has a tiny dining room and a popular drive-through window.

Customers loved the restaurant’s egg rolls and crab Rangoon and knew to bring cash when they needed a fix. Egg Roll King never accepted any other form of payment.

Its hours between now and Feb. 26 are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
