What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ $7 for a literal pound of the best fried rice I've ever had, a pop AND 2 handmade egg rolls? In this economy? And $4 for the crab Rangoon (amazing and not the sweet version, 10/10). I had lunch and dinner for 2 for $18. Service was quick and super friendly. Do yourself a favor and check them out. ”

“ Me and my girlfriend decided to pay a visit to Fried Rice on E. Pawnee. Its my first time coming here in over a decade. I ended up going with combo fried rice which came with bits of red pork, tiny shrimp, and chicken chunks. Back in the early 2000's if I remember correctly, everything was made to order. But today, they already had the fried rice put together. Everything was still warm though. Obviously it wasn't cooked too long before I got there. I'll have to say, the fried rice was just decent. Nothing too special about it. But the egg rolls were delicious. They were stuffed with meat, noodles and cabbage with a bunch of black pepper. I throughly enjoyed them. There was also a choice of canned pop that came with the meal. I went with grape. All in all, for seven dollars, you can't beat that price for what you got. ”
