First time here. Not the original, but heard it's pretty darn good too.

If you're going to Timmy Chan's, know in advance that the only thing TRULY worth getting is the 6 piece wings and rice. It's their calling card and they do it well, the portion is massive, 6 wings and half a take out tray of rice will fill you up QUICK. The prices are good for everything here, don't expect a five star restaurant when you show up. Timmy Chan's hasn't been "S-t-a®bucked", so don't expect to come into a hipster joint. Doesn't mean it isn't amazing and exceptional for the price. Remember in advance, 6 piece wings and rice, order it and enjoy. Will be back for sure.

2 eggrolls and 4 wings for only $6-ish. Why not?! Eat 'em fried goodies fresh and hot. Yummmmmm-O!

WOW! Timmy Chan's wow'd me with their fried corn balls... if you haven't tried them yet.. definitely order them next time! It's a tasty treat! Also ordered their chicken fried rice, and general so's chicken with fried rice. The fried rice that came with the generals so's plate was lacking flavor.

Sometimes you have to take it back, way back into the hood. I do this so often and always end up at Timmy Chan's because although a bit dangerous, I know I will always find great tasting food. My go to order is always the chicken wings and fried rice. In fact I don't think I have tried anything else here. The chicken wings are some of the best I have tasted as they are breaded and fried to perfection. The fried rice is like no other and goes really well with the chicken. I will always enjoy some Timmy Chan's. It may not be a hot spot or popular dining place and I really don't mind that it has not made it to any list of top restaurants in Houston. I love great tasting food no matter where it comes from. This place delivers just that!

One of my FaV Columbian restaurants. The grilled rotisserie style chicken is delicious and packed…read morewith flavor. The chicken is consistently moist and roasted to perfection. I've been visiting this Houston staple for over 25yrs for sure back when I first moved to Houston and worked down the street on Richmond/Beltway. You can't go wrong with the lunch special....1/4 chicken with 3 full size sides. I always go for the rice/bean mix, boiled red potatoes, & the chicken soup. All for $9.99. The staff is always pleasant and very professional. Don sleep on this Latin Gem, on Richmond in a strip center not too far from Gessner.

I visited DoDo's Chicken on Wednesday, 6/11 around 4:45 PM, excited to get the chicken and sides…read morethat I usually love. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing for several reasons. First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.

Great food and service. Lots of food here to choose from. Food was hot and chicken was juicy.read more

I had to write this review while it was fresh on my mind. I was driving around the area and noticed…read moresomething interesting. A new chicken restaurant took place of a previous business that I have known for ages, Church's chicken. But in its place is Hartz Chicken. I don't usually deviate from my usual spots but was curious to stop in. First step in the restaurant, is a completely different layout with both table seating and also stationary stools by the window. A nice and brighter dining area. I did want to try a few picks off the menu to have a perspective of what the offerings could be. I decided to go with the 3 piece dark meat combo with fries, 4 piece spicy tenders with brown gravy and the 3 boudain balls promotional special with fries. Each came with an individual roll expect for the boudain. The boudain has a nice size and filling to it. I would like it as a quick bite if you are not looking for anything chicken related. The 3 piece dark meat has that nice crunch and juicy bite flavor, one thigh, breast and leg. Breading is not thin or thick, just right. The tenders are a bit darker due to the added spice but does have a nice kick but not overpowering. There was a selection of either brown or white gravy but the standard to me always is brown that went well with everything. The rolls are buttery and airy and different from the biscuit varieties of other businesses. Overall it was a solid visit to Hartz chicken. It is a bit to compare because each restaurant is known for their products when it comes to fried chicken. But stopping in was a different experience. I have no complaints but what could be an interesting take is to see the sides on display. Also would be the roll shape since it resembles a mushroom but it's baked from a muffin tin which explains it. Service is nice and the staff were really diligent in making sure the orders were fresh and to the right customer. I would like jt as an alternative opposed to the Big 3: Popeyes, KFC and Church's. But one final take, the chicken has that brown bag grease stain, the one you would know if it is homemade chicken or find at Sunday church when you're gathering for fellowship or bible study, if you get what I mean? Haha Nice visit and hope I can try other offerings on the menu like the fish, sandwiches, gizzards and etc.
