“Our church, Triedstone MBC, just hosted a luncheon for our leadership team. It was catered by Darrow’s New Orleans Grill. We were very pleased with our experience. The food was delicious. And the service was great! They arrived early. And the food was hot. The owner, Norwood, presented the food with a very appetizing description of each entree. Everyone loved it! Additionally, the portions were very generous. And everyone went back for seconds. At Triedstone, we do everything with excellence. And Darrow’s definitely met the challenge. We say, “Thank You” to Norwood and his entire staff. We look forward to doing more business with you in the near future. Sincerely Submitted, Pastor Quentin T. Oden and Lady Shelley Oden TRIEDSTONE MBC Carson, CA”

Hot Tender Wings #2 153 E 223rd St, Carson Chicken Wings • $$

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hot Tender Wings is a hidden gem! You can really feel that this is a family-run business from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is friendly, welcoming, and family-oriented, and you feel right at home.

What really impressed me was the fusion of sushi and hot tender wings—such a unique combination, and they do both extremely well! The wings were nice, plump, juicy, and tender. There was absolutely nothing dry about them, and they were packed with flavor.

I also tried the California roll, and I was genuinely impressed. The sushi was fresh and very well made, and both the taste and the generous serving size exceeded my expectations.

It’s great to find a family-owned place that puts care into the quality of its food and creates such a welcoming environment. If you’re craving flavorful, juicy wings and well-made sushi, Hot Tender Wings is definitely worth checking out.

Highly recommended! 🌶️🍗🍣🙌”

It was hot, moist, chewy with a little bit of a sticky sweet glaze on the bottom. They are small and I could easily eat 5 to myself. Also lucked out with other discounted donuts/bitso’s because we came close to closing time… for that reason they did seem a little dry but I really liked the flavor of the maple twist.

Manila Sunrise 21828 Main Street, Carson Filipino • $

“I ordered sinigang beef and sayote beef n shrimp. My most favorite was the sinigang beef. The broth was well balanced with flavors and chunks of beef on bone. No hint of additional oil which made the soup flavorful as you would expect the slightly sour taste of the tamarind yet it was balanced with the right seasonings and veggies. The sayote beef/shrimp was full of flavor but the drawback for me is that it was oily even though the sayote dish is like a sabaw (soup) dish. If you love rice, they pack half the plate with white rice. The total cost for rice plus 2 items came out to $13.19 debit charge. It’s cheaper than other places but I think they have a pay scale depending on what you order. My receipt shows they charged me for a 2 item combo but I had an additional
Charge of .99 cents for the sinigang beef. I guess the rice is considered an item as well. I’m not bothered by the charge since it’s still cheaper than other places I’ve been. So the rest of the food selections look good and well presented. I will come back to try more dishes. Overall my experience was good and the atmosphere is pleasant.”

“Delicious! My favorite Saturday lunch spot, in recent months. Highly recommend their beef & chicken plate! (I usually get it with white rice 🍚 & lite veggies.). I would note that the Dr. Pepper dispenser hasn't been working, lately, and sometimes the syrup is low in the other fountain drinks.”

“Love this place, used to be in Long Beac closer to me but willing to drive to Carson for the food. I know it's more of a chicken and rice place, but for me it's their burgers that are the best. Made to order goodness one of my favorite burgers. The chicken teriyaki is good too. The Chinese chicken salad is also very good. Can't speak to other menu items cause I always order the same thing. Service is great, I like the order and pay, pick your own seat, no tip needed.”

“Our church, Triedstone MBC, just hosted a luncheon for our leadership team. It was catered by Darrow’s New Orleans Grill. We were very pleased with our experience. The food was delicious. And the service was great! They arrived early. And the food was hot. The owner, Norwood, presented the food with a very appetizing description of each entree. Everyone loved it! Additionally, the portions were very generous. And everyone went back for seconds. At Triedstone, we do everything with excellence. And Darrow’s definitely met the challenge. We say, “Thank You” to Norwood and his entire staff. We look forward to doing more business with you in the near future. Sincerely Submitted, Pastor Quentin T. Oden and Lady Shelley Oden TRIEDSTONE MBC Carson, CA”

Hot Tender Wings #2 153 E 223rd St, Carson Chicken Wings • $$

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hot Tender Wings is a hidden gem! You can really feel that this is a family-run business from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is friendly, welcoming, and family-oriented, and you feel right at home.

What really impressed me was the fusion of sushi and hot tender wings—such a unique combination, and they do both extremely well! The wings were nice, plump, juicy, and tender. There was absolutely nothing dry about them, and they were packed with flavor.

I also tried the California roll, and I was genuinely impressed. The sushi was fresh and very well made, and both the taste and the generous serving size exceeded my expectations.

It’s great to find a family-owned place that puts care into the quality of its food and creates such a welcoming environment. If you’re craving flavorful, juicy wings and well-made sushi, Hot Tender Wings is definitely worth checking out.

Highly recommended! 🌶️🍗🍣🙌”
