Mama Hieu's

Friendly staff, quick service and delicious food. The wings are cooked to perfection - not over-fried- topped off with garlic and scallions. Shoe-string sweet potato fries are a must try! I wish the wings came with sauce, and not an extra charge. Overall, cute cozy spot for a delicious take on classic wings

Fantastic spot, the garlic butter chicken was a hot. The garlic noodles are great too. So happy to be able to try Vietnamese fried chicken.

After seeing this pace on Facebook from grubwithgreg I decided to come by. I ordered the fish sauce glazed wings, salted egg wings and loaded tots. I loved everything but was a bit disappointed in the salted egg wings. They didn't really taste like salted egg at all. Otherwise I recommend the other stud I ordered. I wish the fish glazed was spicier.

Small, trendy little restaurant with a pretty chill atmosphere to it. Very clean and the service was great. Very friendly guy behind the counter. The inside seating is quite small so you may find it better to get takeout. I got the Spicy Garlic Butter House Box with their Garlic Noodles. The wings and noodles were heavenly. Perfectly crispy with that thicker Vietnamese fried chicken crust to them. Their garlic noodles were some of the best I've had. Very creamy, very garlicy, overall very good. Thier rice was actual mush. Maybe I just went at a bad time but they basically gave me a ball of mushy rice. Next time, I'd just get a box of wings and the noodles to go so I could eat my own rice at home. Great place though. Chefs back there really know how to cook.

Haven’t been here in a min! So excited to see what’s new! Parking: There’s a free parking lot with plenty of spots. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small indoor space with limited seating. Very clean inside. Yes, they have a restroom for customer use. Service: The cashier was knowledgeable about the menu. Throughput was quick & efficient after ordering. We waited under 8 min. Foods: 1. Chicken Sandos - Best fried chicken sandwich I’ve had in a while. The buns were buttery, the coleslaw was fresh, and the chicken was seasoned well. Perfect size for one person. 2. Garlic Butter Shrimp and Rice - The breading of the shrimp was crissspppyyy! Not sure what exactly the sauce was, but it made the shrimps even more flavorful. Shrimps were also pretty big, and they give you 2 large scoops of rice. 3. Original Garlic Fried Chicken Wings - THE FLAVORS! Now I know why these wings are their most popular! The chicken was fried to perfection and coated generously with the garlic sauce. Pricing: Prices definitely went up but can’t blame them. Honestly it’s worth it! Love their fried chicken!

Fam and I were looking to snack on something prior to dinner, and I had heard about mama Hieu’s and how popular it was for their flavor. Service was quick just because we ordered to go to make our life easier. Restaurant looks like a great place to hang out with friends and family to enjoy. For the price, it was super fair! We got the spicy garlic and fish sauce, AMAZING! We also had the fries as well as the garlic noodles, ALSO amazing. Even though it was meant to be a snack, it got us full and happy. Would highly recommend anyone to go to get the Vietnamese inspired flavor of wings. Let’s go!!

Spicy garlic shrimps are really good, especially with the dip sauce. The shrimps are crispy and big. Garlic noodles are good, and it's a big portion. Limited sitting area. There is plenty of parking in the plaza.

The hype about this place is accurate. Not only is the service amazingly friendly, but the wings.. the wings are perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and just the perfect thing to make you smile. I love the original garlic, and the special garlic lobster flavour. The truffle and parmesan fries are a lovely accompaniment. If you're in the area, and even if you're not, you've got to get these into your body!!

Great service feels like family serving up fried chicken And the food is PAR to none best in little Saigon Spicy garlic for the WIN !

Good service and taste good. Prices are decent but worth it! We got the original and fish sauce and they both look good as well!

Food was very good and super tasty ! Price was super affordable and the service was great !

This place has some great wings! I saw it blew up online and someone started to sell wings out of their house during Covid. The owners eventually opened this store front and I had to try it. I ordered the spicy garlic wings and it was a lot the amount for the order. They had 4 flavors from garlic to fish sauce. This was an easy choice since they had one reccomendation. Seemed like a really chill place and a lot of people ordered take out. It's a good spot for wings.

Up top I will suggest you get the Fish Sauce wings and the garlic noodles. 4 wings should be enough for one person. My friends and I did an elaborate plan to try all 4 flavors and we all agreed hands down that the Fish Sauce wings were the best. Ethan took our order and he was super helpful. He helped us work out our plan on how to get all the wing flavors. The restaurant is more fast casual, so you order and you sit down. We came at 1:20p and we didn't have a problem grabbing their 4 seater table and the counter right next to it. There is a communal parking lot in this plaza. If it is out of spots you can find some in the slightly sketchy back of the plaza.

This place blew me away with the flavor and quality of their wings. We got the original garlic butter and the salted egg yolk flavors, along with a small tray of garlic noodles and their truffle parmesan tator tots. The two sides were decent, but shouldn't be anyone's primary plate choice. Get the wings and recognize the perfection. She loved the garlic wings and I fell into a deep love for the salted egg yolk flavor. Solid service that should never go unrecognized, awesome team. This a small restaurant tucked in the middle of a busy shopping strip, so I can see it going unnoticed by many. Next time you want solid wings in Orange County, hit this spot up and get happy.. If you can tell me the wings were bad and you left unhappy, I will take and cover you on your favorite wing spot as an apology. I genuinely do not see this happening though. Lying is a no me gusta and this place is awesome, everyone must know.

Went here for some wings while on vacation to visit my brother. We got the original garlic wings and let me tell you, they were freaking delicious. Wing was full of flavor. Crunchy on the outside and moist on the outside. Chef's kiss!

Tip is to order online. 24 original garlic wings ($36) - not too heavy on the garlic or salt. Stayed crispy after 30 mins of driving. Salted egg wings - the salted egg yolk flavor was more apparent in the after taste. Fish sauce wings - my favorite out of the three because it was sweet and salty.

I've visited Mama Hieu's at least three times, and unfortunately, I've noticed a decline in both quality and service. Food: The food remains good, with flavorful dishes that I enjoy. My personal favorite is the Fried Fish Sauce Wings, which always pack a punch. However, the overall experience has been overshadowed by other issues. Service: My family's experience has been increasingly negative, with the most recent visit being the worst. Customer service is lacking, marked by long wait times, limited seating, and a lack of friendliness from the staff. Additionally, the owners are not transparent about pricing. We encountered an extra charge on our order without any prior explanation. When we inquired, the staff defensively cited store policy. A simple explanation about additional costs for extra flavors would have sufficed. Due to these factors, I would be hesitant to visit again.

This place is a well-oiled machine of service cranking out crispy, moist, and garlicky wings at a great pace! The staff are friendly and efficient, and the vibe is casual and relaxed. They don't keep a lot of wings sitting around pre-cooked and sauced because they would lose their crispiness and hot juiciness. There were quite a few people in line to order, but we all got our orders in a timely fashion.

Best chicken wings ever, beats Kokos, Wingstop, etc. Spicy garlic is a must and fish sauce is bomb too, will forsure be coming back here

Solid place! The box gives you 7 wings 2 heaping scoops of rice with picked veggies, fried onions, qnd Thai chilli sauce. We also ordered fish sauce wings with thinly sliced Thai chilli on the side and truffle Parm fries. Everything was delicious and we would definitely come back. The location is at a strip plaza, so I can imagine parking may be tough to find on a busy day. We came on a Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't crowded. We would definitely come back and hope to try the remaining flavors we didn't try. Note: none

Pretty decent place! Overall the wings were good, but not as good as the homemade style places in Little Saigon. Loved that they were pretty meaty pieces, but I was hoping for more crunch/bite to them. Overall great prices for parties & good variety of other items too.

Food was great! I got a 5 piece of Spicy Garlic because I just wanted a small taste and it was delicious, very garlicky and tasty spicy seasoning. Not really spicy, I would compare it to a "hot" that you would get on popcorn chicken at a boba spot. Service was really nice, quick and to the point. They have some small tables in the restaurant, I would say it can fit maybe 10-15 people? So I would do takeout if you have a large group. It's in a plaza so parking is easy to find. Overall would recommend but this is my first taste into Vietnamese chicken wings so I don't know how it compares to others.

Update! I've gone probably 3 more times since my original post and the service is much better since they moved that cashier to the back. They've updated their menus too, making it easier to order without less confusion. The fish sauce wings continue to be the best thing on the menu for me. I still haven't had a chance to try the salted egg yolk tho. They've added a few more tables and a water station which is great. I bring all visiting friends/family here and they love it.

I'm coming in from out of town looking for something quick to eat. All the food was amazing. The garlic wings were great. The service was outstanding. Standard atmosphere for a fast casual restaurant.

Probably some of the best chicken wings I've had in the OC! Reasonably priced and plenty of food. We got the original and also a side order of garlic noodles. Good service. Not a lot of seating inside. Clean restaurant.

After seeing all the hype online about this place, I finally got to tried it out. The place is located in a plaza with lots of parking, inside had a few tables. I came on a Saturday at 11am, and got my order within 10 minutes of ordering. I got the house special with half spicy and half regular. The chicken was the CRISPIEST AND JUICY fried chicken I ever had. The portion size was great too~ $16 for 9 pieces of chicken and two scoops of rice! It made up for two meals. I also got the garlic noodles which had a nice flavor but was on the oiler side. Definitely check this place out when you're in the area! My new favorite fried chicken spot!

Absolutely delicious wings. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside!!!! They feel kinda expensive but hey for a little treat it's pretty good. Service is pretty speedy. There's a few tables for seating inside. I got the nuoc mam ones but I'll have to come back to try the others.

Ok so this place came up on my instagram feed a while back before they had an actual shop. It looked delicious but a bit confusing as you had to order from IG the go to their house to pick up. So now they have a shop had to go. Omg order a few things of course. Original garlic excellent if you're a garlic lover like me. Crispy garlicy great!! 9/10 Fish sauce wings so full of flavor 9/10 My favorite were the salted egg yolk flavor 10/10. Garlic noodles were good too 8/10. There was a nice size line so I recommend ordering a head

Came here because we heard that they're known for their garlic chicken so we had to try them out ! We got the specialty box. I will say the chicken was good. I didn't really get the wow factor but it is good. Service was great. Very cozy inside.

ORDER fish sauce wings (5/5) spicy garlic wings (5/5) they do $1 wings on wednesdays until the end of summer!! i decided to take advantage of the deal and it was soso worth it. my favorite was the fish sauce wings, which had the perfect crunch and flavor. i love that they had 2 different spice levels for the fish sauce wings. the mild was not spicy at all. the spicy garlic flavor wasn't as intense as the fish sauce wings, but definitely had a kick. the spicy garlic wings partied well with the mama sauce, which is kinda like a creamy mayo sauce. SERVICE despite there being a line, the wings came out super quickly! i was super surprised with how quick my order came out. AMBIANCE it was a very hot day today and the inside of the restaurant reflected that. it was very warm inside. the inside is fairly small, especially once it gets crowded so it can be a lil cramped. i ate on the bench outside.

Ordered the house box specialty with fish sauce glazed. Pretty tasty wings-- didn't care much for their dipping sauce though

I was influenced by friends who were influenced by social media to check out Mama Hieu's chicken wings. Upon learning about the owner's story, I wanted to try their wings even more! They have a small shop that caters to diner groups of up to 5 people max. Hopefully some more outside seating could placed as the shop has high volumes of customers, especially on the weekends. We opted for their party tray of 25 half original garlic and half spicy garlic, a house box of Salted Egg Yolk wings, and another house box of the Fish Sauce wings in order to try everything. The Salted Egg yolk was my favorite out of everything! Otherwise, I feel like the flavors of the party tray wings fell flat and I couldn't really tell much of a difference between the two. All the wings were crispy and had a generous sprinkle of green onion/garlic topping! The fish sauce wings were on the sweeter side for me and their sauce to dip it in was also sweet which wasn't much so of my preference. We also ordered garlic noodles on the side. The noodles were pretty standard but good to eat with the chicken. The food came out hot and fresh in around 20 minutes and the chicken wings came in all different sizes. I thought what we ordered was pretty worth it, however, I think a new flavor would be nice to see as I only favorited one of the flavors.

Finally came back and ordered the party tray (25 wings for $35) to try the original garlic and spicy garlic (dry-rub). Both were very delicious--well-seasoned wings with crunchy skin on the outside and super juicy and tender meat on the inside. The garlic flavors were strong but not too overpowering, and the spice had a decent kick to it. Out of the four, I like the fish sauce glaze the best; then, spicy garlic, original garlic, and at the bottom, salted egg yolk. Nothing particularly bad about it. I just feel like the flavors are mild compared to the other three. The downsides of the party tray include no rice, pickled veggies, and dipping sauces for the wings, but the pricing is pretty decent.

I am a MAMA HIEUS FAN FOREVER!!!!!! Ugh if I could eat here everyday I could. 9-10 wings with rice, pickled sides and sauce for $16!!! I think that's a steal to me. I've also gotten their party platters for a very reasonable price. First off, the fried chicken is fried to perfection. I've had so much fried chicken (esp asian fried chicken) in my life and this is the juiciest, crunchiest wing I've bit into and the SIZE?! Each wing is huge!!! I would say rice is okay, it definitely isn't the star of the show. My favorite flavors are the fish sauce and spicy garlic. Some notes to add (but doesn't bother me) : standing in the store will make your whole body smell like fried oil. And, I wish they had a better system for orders and getting out orders faster but I understand they are a new and popping business so I know they will get there! It's crowded every time I go there so it makes sense- their food speaks for themselves. So unbelievable this family started out at a house over the pandemic and they were able to open up this shop. They have my full support always

Had the garlic and fish sauce wings and both were delicious! Personally I liked the garlic one better. The wings were savory. The chicken wing size was similar to wingstop, small to medium. I ordered to-go so the wings were soggy, I'll need to try it fresh next time to experience the crunch.

Had the salted egg yolk while my dad had the fish sauce one. We both liked it, although it was too much for us. We both got the house box specialty. Ate there and left with leftovers. The chicken came out hot and crispy! With the thick batter, this feels like the type of food to that I prefer eating with noodles or fries than rice. The rice was mushy so I didn't like that. The place is small, but is clean. The music is a little loud and was playing mainly K Pop. They turned it down a little while we were eating. Service was fine. They took our order and got us the food. Nothing above and beyond, but still better than no service at all

The wings were so good! We got the salted egg yolk and the fish sauce flavors. While the flavor was good I thought it was too mild and not "heavy" enough. At once point I was questioning which flavor was which because the flavors weren't super prominent. Still super tasty, crispy and juicy though. When we went for dinner it was pretty busy and they definitely did not have enough tables/chairs for all patrons to dine in. The wait was probably about 15-20 minutes after ordering and we did luckily snag a seat inside to eat. But it was pretty warm inside (prob heat from frying).

Mama Hieu's in Westminster is hands down one of the best places for wings! We tried every flavor on the menu, and our personal favorite was the Original Garlic--so savory and perfectly balanced. The wings themselves were amazing--big, juicy, crispy, and packed with flavor. Definitely the best wings we've ever had. While most of the flavors were great, we weren't huge fans of the Salted Egg Yolk flavor, but that's just personal preference. The sauces were also just okay, but honestly, the wings are so flavorful on their own that they don't need much extra. The only downside is that we don't live locally, or we'd be here all the time! If you're in the area, Mama Hieu's is a must-try.

This is my second time eating Mama Hieu's and it really is the best chicken at the moment! A must try if you at in garden grove area, or even worth the drive. Service lately has been speedy! I remember when they first opened it was hours of wait for an order, people were out the door too. Must try with their mama sauce

I eat canh ga chien nuoc mam all the time. I've had this place on my list for over a year and kept my expectations low since every place makes it pretty much the same. I was so wrong, this was undoubtedly the best I've ever had. The sauce had a really unique taste that I can't put my tongue on, but it is so addictive! The salted egg was also perfectly balanced and the flavors were nostalgic. The wings were cooked perfectly - light crisp on the outside and extremely juicy inside. The prices were very reasonable. I'll definitely be back!

Stopped by here after work. Still great service and f**king awesome wings!! So convenient to pre-order and choose the pick up time of my party tray of 50 original garlic wings before they open on their website too. I also ordered a 10 pack of spicy garlic wings!! Let's keep showing Mama Hieu and her hardworking family some love!!! Stop by and grab some amazing wings!!

How have I not yet reviewed the famous Mama Hieu's! My favorite wings in OC! I've been a fan since they were operating out of their home. Parking can be a hassle -- I recommend parking IN THE BACK or the lots next-door. Most people usually get the house box speciality ($16) which comes with 9 wings ($1.78/wing), white rice, and pickled veggies. Alternatively, you can order just the wings by themselves ($1.50/wing), which is a little cheaper if you don't care about rice. I usually get the original and spicy garlic. The spicy garlic is not too spicy and on the milder side. I recommend ordering online in advance, as the line here can be quite long, especially on the weekends (we're talking 30+ min wait or longer). They do also sometimes sell out on the weekends. Order online via their official website through ToastLab and NOT Yelp or Google because Yelp and Google prices are more expensive. If you are placing a big order, usually to can order online days in advance, but sometimes they do turn off their online order if they are really busy FYI. There is no separate pick-up line for online orders (a little confusing), so just go to the front and flag down a worker if you are picking up. Usually I haven't had to wait any extra time and my order was ready.

The nước mắm (fish glaze) wings are the best ever!!! When we first went, we got the box to try out both the garlic and nước mắm wings. The garlic was good but the nước mắm one was just *chef's kiss*! It's very flavorful and just delicious. The wings aren't dry at all and very crispy. We now order the tray so we can get more wings. I only wish that they tray came with pickled veggies because those were really good with the wings. It's a small space inside and hard to find seating. We usually just take it to-go now. Also, you can phone ahead and order too! Parking lot can be pack so be patient. There's also a restroom inside!

Mama's Hieu had been on my radar for their renowned chicken wings, so I decided to give it a shot. I ordered a platter of 50 wings, opting for a half-and-half mix of spicy garlic and fish sauce flavors. First impressions? The spicy garlic wings were overwhelmingly salty, which overshadowed the intended spiciness. The fish sauce wings, while better in flavor, were marred by the same problem: the batter. Unfortunately, it was far from the crispy perfection I had hoped for and instead was disappointingly soggy. At $84 for 50 wings, the price didn't match the quality. While the fish sauce wings had potential, the overall experience left much to be desired. For this visit, I'd rate the food quality and taste a mere 1 star.

Have been wanting to try this place since before they had a brick and mortar. Chicken came out hot, tender and juicy. The highlight was working with Ethan who took the time to cost out different options. Thanks Ethan!

Chicken came with mix of drums and wings - all were lightly battered and super juicy, not like KFC's thick crunchy crust but less crispy than Korean fried chicken. Sauce flavors are pretty mild compared to those on Korean fried chicken. Original garlic - seems like chicken was tossed in bunch of fried garlic, would consider this "dry rub" - my favorite! Fish sauce glazed - sauce is on the saltier side compared to most of the fish sauce glazed chicken I've ordered in restaurants, not overly saucy so wings aren't swimming in sauce but you can definitely see the glaze Salted egg yolk - sauce seems like mix of lots of butter with egg yolk bits and seasoning reminiscent of bo kho seasoning. wish salted egg yolk flavor is stronger, it didn't taste salty to me. my box had a LOT of butter so it was pretty greasy for me - but such a unique flavor! Overall, I thought the combo boxes is such a steal - $16ish for 9 pieces of chicken and rice! Staff was friendly and pretty quick given that they make the food as ordered. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try - so glad there's a Vietnamese fried chicken shop now!

I'll start by saying it could've been an off day since it was the 4th of July and they were busy, but I'm disappointed that I'm giving them 3 stars because I was looking forward to trying their wings for so long. I finally decided to get it after seeing all of the positive reviews on social and I was excited to see that they were open on the 4th. I did see a post where they were only accepting online orders and walk ins wouldn't be available. I tried placing my order online and it wasn't going through so I called the restaurant and they said they would accept walk ins for anything except for the trays. After the horrendous parking situation (I parked in the plaza next door), I was happy to see that there wasn't a line out of the door. I placed my order and the woman behind the counter seemed a bit cold, but that wasn't going to ruin my excitement. I ordered the box with fish sauce mild, 5 original a la carte, and garlic noodles and surprisingly it was ready in about 10 minutes. In total, I had 14 wings and 10 of them were drums with 4 being flats. As a hardcore mid joint girly, I was upset because I would've hoped to at least get an equal amount. The fish sauce flavor was good, but I thought mild meant there would be a hint of spice and there wasn't any at all. The rice was overcooked and mushy and I'm pretty sure the pickled veggies were bad. The original really wasn't anything to write home about and neither were the garlic noodles. I also didn't feel like the sauce paired well with either flavor. The food wasn't bad but definitely overhyped and I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again.

This has been on my list for awhile. I'm glad I finally got to give it a try with their brick and mortar location. They have your choice of party trays for the chicken wings. The specialty box is a great option for newcomers to be able to try their fried chicken and get a taste of it without having to buy a whole tray. The specialty box comes with 9 pieces, 2 scoops of white rice, pickled veggies, and sauce. You can do half and half flavors on the speciality box only for spicy garlic and garlic flavors. Unfortunately you can't do half and half with the fish sauce or egg yolk. I ordered the fish sauce chicken with medium spice. The spice definitely has a kick but I think I'd like to try spicy on my next time. I'm also intrigued by the egg yolk chicken. When reviews tell you one of the best fried chicken joints in OC area. It doesn't disappoint. Vietnamese fried chicken made crisp and saucy. Moist chicken on the inside. Pickled veggies to help cut through the heaviness of the chicken. The star of the show is the fried chicken. Sidenote. They do let you know there's an additional $0.50 charge if you use a credit card for orders under $25.

My husband and I stumbled upon a chicken wings spot in Westminister and, as a chicken wing lover, I had to try it. Even though we weren't too hungry, we ordered the #4 salted egg yolk chicken wings with two scoops of garlic fried rice. Expecting just 5 wings, we were pleasantly surprised to get 9! The wings were flavorful, with the salted egg yolk not overpowering, and paired perfectly with the garlic fried rice and pickled cabbage. The place is small with only 4 tables, so we ate outside on a bench. This is definitely my new go-to for wings!

Mama Hieus is in a plaza and have heard great things so was excited to try! We got the fish sauce wings to go (we came on a Saturday so took around 20-30 mins) and ate them shortly after but was slightly disappointed the crunch wasn't as apparent as other wings I've had. The flavor was really good to the point where we didn't need the extra sauces.

My favorite wing. Call ahead and make sure they have wings left. A lot of people order party trays.

There's so much hype about this place so I finally took the trip to try the chicken. I'm a big fan of fried chicken in general and i'm super picky and particular so I would suggest still trying it even after my review because everyone's taste buds are different when it comes to fried chicken. I thought this place was just okay. It was definitely super busy for sure and everyone that came here was getting trays of it. It's definitely awesome for parties and gatherings for sure. I got the spicy garlic and the fish sauce wings and it was just okay. Service was pretty fast and it was nice and hot when I got it. But if someone were to ask me, I would still recommend it.

Heavy and greasy but delicious chicken wings. Not bad price. Worthy of being a cheat meal, i drove almost an hour for this.

Mama Hieu's wings are crazy good. The wings have the perfect level of crispiness to them and the garlic flavor is well pronounced. I would definitely come back. Just be prepared to wait but imo it's well worth it.

Mama Hieu's is always a hit! We used to order and pick up a party tray with them for our parties from their home. They started out as an in home restaurant & now they have definitely come a long way with her brick and mortar store. They're definitely the OG of fried chicken wings. We've only had their crispy garlic wings and crispy spicy garlic wings along with their pickle veggies. It's always so fresh and has a great crunch. The wings are the perfect size and the garlic...omg! It always smells so good that you cannot help but sneak a quick bite eveytime. We love ordering Mama Hieu's for our parties & it's worth the drive for us now that we no longer live in the OC. Yesterday we picked up a tray of 50 wings (half and half) at their store. I always send my husband to pick up but this time went there myself to check out the location. Parking is a bit small since it's in the heart of bolsa. The store itself is nice and small. Good for some seatings but not made for large parties. It can get busy quickly so I would recommend ordering ahead and going to pick up. We'll definitely be back soon to try the new flavors they have now since we love their chicken wings.

The wings were moisture and tasted delicious. The taste of salted yolk was mild. The food came out within less than 10 minutes. Overall, I would highly recommend everyone to try it!

Was looking for a new place to try, Yelp to the rescue! Highly rated with a high review count, decided to give Mama Hieu's a try. I saw that they were known for some garlic chicken with rice but I actually did not pick up on the fact that the chicken were wings until I got there. Parking was busy but manageable, walked in to a line of people. Happy to find out while standing there and while eating later that the vast majority of business is take out with larger catering trays. I ended up with the Box Special with mild and spicy garlic chicken with garlic rice. Overall it was pretty good with a slightly sweeter fried skin. I did not find the flavor to be overwhelming or explosive by any means. Served with garlic rice, I actually feel there could have been more garlic flavor to it or maybe just a bit of something else to it. While I was sitting there eating my lunch I looked around and noticed that there was like one other person eating there while a stream of people coming in to pick up their online and phoned in orders. The service team were hustling and shouting about who is in line to order and who is there to pick up. The majority were the latter. I am feeling generous since I did like the story of the owners that were posted outside but I have had better and gave them a fourth star for the effort and hard work. Not sure I will be back.
