    Shrimp Fried Rice
    Jennifer W.

    Food is fresh but the wait is crazy! Very casual inside dining. This establishment also has a drive thru and a large parking lot with big pot holes so be careful there. I ordered the fish/shrimp combo, shrimp fried rice and happy family with an egg roll. I believe business has picked up here because of social media because it's never been so busy. I think it's worth the wait, definitely a good portion size and always fresh cooked to order.

    Best Chinese food around! Always hot and fresh. My go to spot when I want a good lunch.

    Tried towards the end of the lunch special, assuming that's why my fried rice was dry and old? Instagram brought me here, I'd rate it a 2star and nothing more. It's equivalent of mall food. I didn't like the eggroll filling. Left a weird aftertaste in my mouth after each bite.

    Hot food that the owner threw on us causing burns and the police and paramedics were called.

    This is the 22 year old "owner", she gaslit me about my order, caught an attitude, and threw food on me and my children causing BURNS. We had GREAT experiences until today. SHAME ON YOU!!

    They could START, by seasoning the food ! The beef was chewy, they only put (3) shrimp in the order... the wontons were bone dry. The combination fried rice was gummy.

    Food wasn't the best. The young lady who was at the drive thru was also not the friendliest. I haven't been inside to see how the ambiance is because i stopped going after that first interaction.

    3 fish, 6 shrimp, fries & salad... Yummy!

    Not very impressed with Lomain. It was missing a lot of flavor. And when I asked for spice they just gave me a regular one.

Over the years, They have added grilled items that are quite tasty, but Ima go for the fried anything along with mashies, baked beans, etc. The chicken and dumplings are heaven on earth anytime of the year. Prices are decent, considering the economy these days. If you dine in, there's staff that are happy to help you get your grub to the table, will make sure you have butter and honey for the fluffy buns, and smile no matter how busy it gets. Leaving a buck or 2 is not expected, but a nice gesture for their efforts. Blanca sez check'em out!

Noticed ladies working in the dining room to assure tables are clean as soon as customers leave. Once your meal is ready, they will call your name or someone will bring it to your table. Retro decor. Loved the music. Located across from SMU. You have the college crowd, residents from the neighborhood, grandparents with their grandchildren, and drive thru all buzzing with conversation. I found the chicken livers lightly battered, crispy on the outside and very tender meat on the inside. Mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans were my sides. All tasty. Add additional seasonings and pepper sauce if you prefer. Be sure to check out the banana pudding. I requested extra meringue. Dessert was made fresh and tasted great. Pick-up, drive through, or dine in. Side note: Although there is no place for a tip when paying for your order... I always leave a tip on the table or hand it to the ladies working there. Much deserved for their hard work, friendly smiles, and pleasant attitude.

However, our first impression wasn't great. My wife and I walked in wearing our Mexico jerseys because Mexico was set to play England in the World Cup. As we waited to be greeted, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being judged by the looks we received. We were then seated in a back corner while most of the front seating was occupied by lighter-skinned patrons. Whether intentional or not, it made me feel uncomfortable and, unfortunately, singled out. As the meal went on, my wife initially didn't share my concerns, but after a comment was made about "saving money" while we were ordering, she also felt the remark was unnecessary and left us wondering if assumptions were being made about us. The food itself was average. The eggs were undercooked, and the chicken-fried steak lacked flavor and had the texture of something previously frozen. The standout item was definitely the biscuits--they were buttery, perfectly crisp on the outside, and easily the best part of the meal. Overall, it was a below-average dining experience. While the service improved after we were seated, the initial impression and a few comments during the meal overshadowed what could have been a much better visit. I hope the restaurant takes every guest's experience to heart because everyone deserves to feel equally welcome.
