It's in the hood but that just means it's worth the drive.
I've been eating here for years and it's always good.
I found the full service and sanitation staff should be very informative and 90° acute to the job at hand.
I’ve been going here over 20 years and it’s still the best. Pick up and go. Don’t be afraid.

I BEEN GETTING THE SAME THING SINCE I WAS A KID. I GET HALF BOURBON CHICKEN & HALF HONEY CHICKEN WITH BOURBON SAUCE ON MY RICE. IT STILL TASTES THE SAME AS I REMEMBER IT EVERY TIME. THEY STUFF UR PLATE SO U CAN EAT OFF OF IT TWICE. CASH ONLY.

It was pretty good today and flavorful. Although it doesn’t taste how it did before the pandemic, you was alright.

“The food pretty good.”
The food pretty good. I ordered the blackened catfish with rice and beans plus cabbage. I like their interpretation of saying catfish when is actually swai fish. Customer service was fine the place is more like a Cajun Chinese restaurant have to try other dishes. This is what's left

“It's in the hood but that just means it's worth the drive.”
It's in the hood but that just means it's worth the drive. We lived in Chicago for a few years and my MIL was the one who introduced us to this place. Stopped in after my son's dr appointment before heading back home an hour away. It was so worth it. The flavor and the amount alone is worth it. Spicy rice with the blackened chicken is my favvvv.
