Joining them are, from left, state Reps. MJ Shannon, D-Milford, and Bill Heffernan, D-West Haven, and West Haven Business Alliance President Michelle Caprio. The Sawmill Road location, formerly Great Wall Chinese Restaurant, joins five other Nice Day Chinese restaurants owned by Zhao and Zhang in Connecticut, including New Haven, and in New York. Nice Day Chinese began in 2021 with a series of pop-ups in New York City, one of which gained national attention when NBC “Today” weather anchor Al Roker regularly visited and featured it on his broadcasts. Encouraged by the pop-up events’ success, Zhao and Zhang took the next step in 2022 and planned their first permanent location. With a workforce of more than 100 employees, both full and part time, Nice Day has quickly established itself as a leader in the next era of Chinese American dining. Nice Day’s Sawmill Road restaurant is nestled in Hillcrest Plaza with other small businesses.
