“Had the best meal here today! Get the strawb12therry shortcake-it was amazing. We tried the ribs,pulled pork,brisket, greens, Mac n cheese, and cornbread. I personally liked the dark, thick red sauce (Ga Folks it's good!) but they give you three sauces to go with the bbq. Warning- the greens are kinda on the sweet side- they're different. They're not nasty but not your regular greens. Awesome jewel in Columbia!“

I have tried 2 of them but she proves me right and helps me gain high profit. So why don't you invest with her so you can start making decent profit on crypto.

“Food-
Crab Rangoons: 10/10 finally found a place where they make Rangoons the right way!
Egg rolls: 8/10 they are actually the best tasting egg rolls around, only thing is they are also the smallest egg rolls around!
Egg drop soup: it was egg drop soup.
(For the entrees, it says that it comes with white OR egg fried rice, they did not ask us and we did not specify which kind, and we received white rice. Which was a bummer, if you do not say fried rice, you won’t get it. So make sure you say it!)
General tap and sesame chicken: sauce is okay, but chicken is dry rubbery, and just overall not good. 3/10.
SUPRISINGLY the best items were the appetizers. The chicken entrees were NOT good at ALL.

Service-
Lady taking orders was very polite 10/10
Kid in the corner doing homework homework 10/10 (place is legit)
LONG WAIT 1/10: They must make everything to order or cook in batches because we waited inside with other customers for damn near an hour before getting our food. We weren’t in a rush so it wasn’t a big deal, but this can easily ruin the entire experience for someone wanting to get home/ deliver orders etc.
$$&Price- 3/10
$1.5 an egg roll (tasty but the size of your thumb)
$6 Rangoonx6 (dollar per)
$14 Chicken entrees ( good portion, but white rice unless you state fried rice, and the chicken quality sucks)

Overall: 7/10
if you want want the real Rangoons, they are here. Granted it’s $1 per Rangoon (prices are insane literally everywhere so a/e). Also, the people working there are polite to their customers.“
