“ Chicken fried rice is really really good. Plus really affordable beers. Nothing close to manhattan prices. ”
“ Don't judge a book by its cover. That's what this restaurant is about it's a hole in a wall type of place, great to just carry out. Their chicken fried is amazing it so authentic the closest I would say to Hilton fried rice from Guyana iyky. We order their food on a weekly basis. Their maybe some local queens uncles by the bar, just let them be lol. ”
“ Best Guyanese-Chinese food! We travel all the way from the Bronx when ever we need our fix. ”
“ My friend introduced me to this spot during covid. We got the house special friend rice with fried chicken wings one evening. It was good, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skip forward to a year later as I'm in the area and had a craving, I decided to try it. I called to place the order for a chicken fried rice when I was a block away and when I arrived I asked if it's possible to rush since I might miss my bus. The ladies gave me someone else's order that was waiting for pickup and assured me it was fine, they were still on their way. So nice of them, and the friend rice was delicious. It was $10 for a large silver take away container which is a great deal. The rice was over cooked but I didn't mind that and the chicken came close the Guyanese style Chinese. Overall, I'd recommend. ”
“ One of the best Guyanese Chinese in Richmond hill area. I always get the chicken fried rice, which has egg in their fried rice, fresh onions and scallions and a good portion of the rice with chicken. The hot wings extra crispy is really good too. ”
“ I ordered a few times from here and had the food delivered. The chicken fried rice is pretty good. Along with the chicken lo mein. The food is not dry at all like other places. Will definitely order again but perhaps do a pick up instead of delivery. ”
“ This place is more of a bar, however, they do sell food. They advertise their style of cooking as Berbician, i.e. specific to the county of Berbice in Guyana. I always buy the roast duck fried rice and I can vouch for it. It's simply delicious. The pieces of duck are flavorful to the bone and the fried rice itself is tasty. ”
