I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and when our original lunch plan fell through, I…read morefinally had my chance. The bright yellow exterior definitely catches your eye and makes it hard to miss.
The menu is simple: just a handful of savory egg rolls, a couple of sweet options, a few sides, and a surprisingly large selection of lemonades. We ordered the Hot Honey Chicken and the Steak & Cheese, and both were fried to perfection, packed with flavor, and absolutely loaded with filling. These aren't your average egg rolls...they're basically a meal wrapped in a crispy shell. At around $10 each, they're a great value. In fact, my boyfriend and I agreed that next time we'd probably split one because we still had more than half of one left over. I was disappointed the pizza egg roll was sold out, so I guess that'll have to be my excuse to come back.
The gourmet bottled lemonades were tasty and HUGE, but here's where they lost a few points. They weren't served very cold (just out of a fridge that wasn't super cold), so we asked for a cup of ice after ordering. We were told it'd be an extra 50 cents. Normally I wouldn't blink at 50 cents, but when you've already purchased nearly $30 worth of food and drinks, charging for a simple cup of ice just feels...petty. Especially when orders are placed through a self-service kiosk and there isn't even an option to add ice during checkout. It was enough to make me pass on it out of principle, which I did.
Service was a little hit or miss. Since ordering is done at a kiosk, there wasn't much interaction. They accidentally handed us our order as takeout even though we were dining in, and no one seemed particularly welcoming. Ironically, they were much friendlier on the way out with a "Thanks for coming!" than they were when we arrived. Strange vibe.
The dining area is tiny, just a few bar seats, one bigger booth, and a couple of small 2 seater tables. There is outdoor seating, but on a hot Carolina summer day, takeout is probably the better move anyway. Especially since they had a giant industrial fan keeping the inside cool.
Overall, the food absolutely delivered, and I'd come back. Next time it'll be one egg roll, one lemonade, and probably take it to go. And hopefully that pizza egg roll is back in stock next time!
