Delivers to your door!! Just a few blocks away if you want to carry out! Delivery can take 45 min, so plan ahead if you want it delivered. Literally don’t have to leave the neighborhood to pick up so if you are hungry just call in and pick up. Orange chicken, Singapore rice noodles, egg rolls and dumplings are my favorites.

The gumbo and fried shrimp platter are our goes tos. I like to ask for extra for horse radish and ketchup to mix up an cocktail sauce with an extra kick. The fried shrimp are perfect! So delicious! Fried catfish is good too. Has a drive thru window and also offers fine in.
