Egg foo young
Alex N.

I got the egg foo young and it was pretty good. Good portion size. The sauce was good not too salty sweet or vinegar. I would come back and try something else.

General Tso's Combo
Lori W.

The restaurant was clean. We both ordered the General Tso's combo and it was cooked to order and was delicious. The server was very pleasant.

If you're wanting Asian food in Poplarville, this is the place to go. Some protiens are clearly frozen & not "real", but tasty. Noodle dishes are our favorite!

Best Wok really is the best wok for miles around. I think it may be the best "Takee Outee" I have eaten at--for many years for sure hence the high rating for this niche. The first thing to catch your eye are the prices. $5.75 Lunch is insanely priced with shrimp fired rice--yes REAL shrimp, real taste, real fresh. The rice is fantastic and a true hot wok fried rice with green onion, yellow onion, light soy, and good color from the actual quick stir fry. You can taste the Breath of the Dragon--that smoky, woky flavor created only from a true, red hot wok that chars ingredients upon entry into the slightest of sizzling oil which creates the signature smoke and flavor. Anything cooked in a wok this way will create the flavor but you must have an extremely hot wok with plenty of belching fire from below--thus the Breath of the Dragon spewing from the pan and seasoning the dish; a technique not mastered by novices. The egg rolls and Crab Rangoon wrappers are pure perfection. They are so high in quality that they are actually made with egg--you can taste it. Granted there may be some turmeric added for yellow color or possibly just the tint of a quality egg but you can definitely taste the yolk. And crispy! There is no denying that this pastry recipe has excellent ingredients. Even at room temperature they are super crisp. The rolls have cabbage and minced roast pork. The Rangoon is a savory not sweet cream cheese base balanced with onion and surimi (crab sticks)--fantastic flavor both. For lunch I had the Coconut Chicken. This was not your fake it with mayo crap this was some serious eats. Real sweetened coconut milk base but not sickly sugar tasting; complex seasonings probably made with a dash of fish sauce* which turns a simple sauce into a major complexity. It was a crafted quintessence not just goop. The breast meat was hand dusted in most likely rice flour and quickly fried in the wok thus giving the Breath of the Dragon once more before adding the sauce into the wok as well. The meat was not greasy or tough. All of the flavors come through each complementing the other. Before my 60 mile journey back home I went back for takeout in reusable containers (we love them and have stacks from other places). The Orange Chicken was dusted and fried dark meat this time cooked in the wok with a slightly spicy sweet orange sauce that included julienne of fresh orange peel--exactly what I was hoping for (the mark of quality). Also I got a Shrimp Mei Fun which had a few fresh cut veges and stir fried egg. Again, the smoke from the wok seasoned the dish. Honestly, like I said, I think this may be the best Chinese takeout I have ever had. It certainly beats most buffets and regular in-house establishments; and I like many have eaten a lot of "Chinese" food. Don't expect fancy décor. It has a pretty minimalist interior. It is very clean with friendly counter service. An unused buffet line holds self-serve napkins, flatware, sauces, and fortune cookies. Ask for chop sticks. The adequate seating is all large 4 top tables with commercial padded stack chairs. A self-serve cooler offers both can and bottled cold drinks, water, and iced tea in pint containers. I saw no ice or fountain drinks available. The bathrooms could use a renovation but are clean, tidy, stocked, and fresh smelling. I'd literally drive an hour just to eat here again and presume I will. (*A note on Fish Sauce: a liquid essence of fish used in high end beers, Worcester sauce, steak sauces, Asian sauces, sometimes ice cream, ect. often made from anchovy. It can be found in Asian groceries of various qualities. My favorite is Squid brand. Add a dash to soups, stews, or sauces. It smells awful, tastes great when added, but good Lord if you drink it straight you are a beast. Don't do that. It chemically emboldens flavor without the fish taste. It is a secret ingredient for things you could have never imagined. Now you know if you didn't already--read the labels).

Best Chinese I've had in 8 years after moving from Houston. Portions are huge and prices are not!read more

Hello. I can't even…read morefathom the horrid experience I had at this "establishment" (if you can even call it that). The desert bar was crawling with about a dozen little roaches. Upon further inspection, I realized a few fruit flies had made the cookies their home. Absolutely disgraceful, especially since the manager was sitting at the front on her phone the entire time. The place was also filthy. The food bar was covered with food, and there was even HAIR in the noodles. Disgusting. The way she treated the poor waitress made me sick. A group of men came in and were being very suggestive to the waitress, even grabbing her a couple times; although the waitress was clearly uncomfortable and brought the situation to the manager's attention, the manager dismissed her. I felt so poorly for this waitress. She was so kind and attentive to her customers, but Kathy treated her like a mule. I even heard Kathy tell the young lady to "use her head" after she made a simple mistake. A word of advice to the owner: cover the bald spot in the back of your head before telling someone else to use their head. And don't think you as a customer are safe. She very loudly told the waitress that she "didn't like black people hair" because it was "too messy." This woman absolutely uses and abuses her customers behind their backs and especially abuses her employees to their face. Do better. I will never be back here again, even if I am starving and their food is all I have. I would rather die that allow this pig sty to take up my time, energy, and money. That is all.

Five Happiness - This was the saddest and grossiest food ever. You can tell the food wasn't fresh and that they use frozen ingredients.

Overall, very large portions and friendly service. We did a walk-in good order. Took about 30…read moreminutes. All the food was fresh and good. Soups and egg rolls were our favorite items. We will be back.

Had the "dinner portion" General Tso. Good portions, came with sweet & sour soup, wonton chips, an…read moreegg roll, a crab rangoon, and pork fried rice. Price was $17.38 with tax. S&S soup is delicious. Mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and tofu pieces. Wonton chips are fresh and not stale. Crab Rangoon's filling had almost no distinct flavor but the texture was good, as well as the perfectly crispy wrapper. Egg roll was ok, again fried to perfection but the filling flavor was non-descript. Pork Fried Rice came automatically with the dish. It's good. I think it's a specialty of theirs which is why it was standard (as in, customers automatically opt for it) and not plain white rice. I'm not sure if it was an upgrade charge or not. It was just automatically entered. General Tso chicken tastes like funnel cake. Powdered sugar flavor, fried bread, slight honey or vanilla. Hint of pepper. It's very tasty but not what I think of when I think General Tso. Overall this is better than some Chinese restaurants in the area. I honestly cannot say one is head and shoulders above another. We usually do Yun Long because we know what they're good at and what they're not, and Yun Long is consistent. We really like Ichiban the best but that is all the way in Picayune. Give them a shot. Do a small meal to make sure you like them. My wife and I shared this one rather than getting two full meals from a restaurant we've never tried. It filled us both up!
