Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I give this place a full rating because of the value it presents to working families. You get at least two meal worth of food in a typical order for around $15. I had the sox wings and fried rice combo. The wings were crispy enough. The fried rice was fresh. Extremely fast turn around time."
"Hood chicken is a thing and if you like it this is your place. Chicken fried hard, standard fried rice and large shrimp for the shrimp fried rice. Hope they can last being cash only. They get regular business so the community still likes them."
"I went through the drive through and ordered some vegetable fried rice with extra vegetables and two egg rolls. They gave me enough to feed three people and the vegetables were hot and delicious! The egg rolls were also delicious. Big bites of broccoli, carrots and eggs. Definitely will be back!"
"They only took cash and the inside isn't as nice as other locations but, the food was still good. The woman that works at the window is a little friendly then snappy once she gets your money. She will not let you keep your receipt."
"I've been a fan since 1998. I got turned on to the wings and rice by a friend back then. The food has been consistent and I visit the establishment at least twice month for Lunch. The facility is clean. The food is fairly priced. I do move around the menu a bit. I recommend the pepper steak with white rice. I also recommend the boudin balls."
"The rice was fresh, the wings were hot and the service was great. Coming back very soon."
"Since Chinese Star and Magic Wok closed it has been a challenge finding good lo mein at a decent price. The Original Timmy Chan on Scott uses non-spaghetti noodles for their version of lo mein () and offers to prepare it with or without salt (the sauce). Photos provided of the sauce varieties - vegetable lo mein on the left and combination lo mein on the right. Veggie is under $9.00 with tax and the combo is under $12.50."
"Got the shrimp egg foo young, and the chicken tenders. Wait time wasn’t long and the food was amazing. Portions were great and the price was good! Wanna come back again next week lol. The workers were friendly and attentive."
