    Went to TingTing’s for dinner today with my friend we had the Crispy Calamari and the Popcorn Chicken for our appetizers they were amazing especially considering they were gluten free cooked perfectly so flavorful. I have celiac disease and had maybe the best gluten free dish I’ve ever had for my entree with their Baked Creamy Seafood over fried rice, my friend had the Spicy Kimchi Bacon Spaghetti and really enjoyed it. But where TingTing’s really shines is with their service our Waitress was amazing so friendly and on top of everything she’s one of the main reasons we will be back and why this was a top notch experience, I couldn’t put TingTing’s over enough.
