I'm not sure if it's just temporary but they aren't doing whole wings but wingettes. So a 4pcs wings =8pcs wingettes and 6pcs =12 pcs wingettes. I have no complaints. Everything was seasoned. I see why this is THE location to go to.

This place has the best Amazing food ever. The shrimp fried rice is so delicious. The place is very clean. Customer service is top notch.

I normally don't do this but I was not happy about my 6 piece wings on yesterday very dried, half cooked, and not season to taste. Which have not been my regular experience throughout the years. So on that note it was pack and the line around the corner. I guess by time they got to my order something happened. I will come back but I will check my food before I leave. Just in case we need to correct the problem.

I couldn't believe they were still as busy as they use to be in 1995 but the food wasn't as good as I remember. It wasn't bad, just more expensive with less quality. Its been years since I've been here, so I understand things change!

fried chicken always on point. I just wish they would season the fries. tried shrimp fried rice for the first time, ten dollars for some brown rice in pretty pricey(it's good) but hardly any shrimp and barely has veggies(only beansprouts and chopped oinon). like 10 mini shrimp for that whole tub of rice is not enough

Pretty good spot for Chicken and Fried Rice. Zero atmosphere, and the lady taking your order hardly speaks English, I'd go again for sure.

I recently visited the original Timmy Chan's and was absolutely delighted by the experience! The fried chicken wings were the highlight of my meal—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. They're some of the best I've ever had! To top it off, the Kool-Aid was surprisingly refreshing, the perfect sweet drink to complement the savory wings. This spot offers a no-frills dining experience where the focus is on delicious, hearty food. It's a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Chinese flavors with an American twist. Highly recommend!

It has been so long since I've eaten at Timmy Chan! It definitely gives me nostalgic vibes from high school days. My husband really wanted to try for the first time so we got to go. Cash only here. D…

The food was good but I placed a phone order and wanted to pick it up at the drive through and they said Nope. There were too many dudes hanging by the door asking for money when I got there and I …

It's my fault I was in the mood for fried rice. I battled the traffic 5 o'clock traffic and drive over an hour. I also remembered along the route the location is does not cater to their customers just accept their money (CASH ONLY). made the stop and continued on my way. My girls asked mom you come all the way out here when we eat the food rice. Joyfully I replied,"Yes". Sat in the drive thru for about 26 minutes. I noticed the petty non- customer service refund policy. If we make for you only what you bring back. I remembered pray over all you eat. We receive our order and headed back home to and fro over an hour drive each way. We get home and I am preparing my girls plates and the chicken is NOT fully cooked. I am furious because I only took inventory of the items not the quality. I just knew as busy as they were it should be fresh. I called immediately and also concerned. If I would have allowed them to make their plate I would have been left with the doctor's bill. After being transferred several times there was a voice on the phone no name even before an apology I was read the handwritten policy that's posted. I informed the employee that I am no where near the area at least even without traffic 40 minutes. I asked her not to rush in the kitchen it Wil lostfood it will lose quality and consistency . That it did. 3pcs of chicken not fully cooked and discoloration. This location was visited because the other location near was sold to a hospital expansion. My advice when you visit this location read the ridiculous refund policy where customer service is NOT included. Check your items as well the quality. Gas prices has increased my time is irreplaceable therefore to inconvenience others and not stand behind the quality of food being served is sad. Collecting just cash is an inconvenience to customers not knowing how hungry a person is and your error is proven the least you could do if they comeback is remake the meal.

I drove an hour to come here. I’ve been living in Houston for 3 years and everyone told me to go Timmy Chans on MLK. I waited in line for maybe 30 mins just to get some little pink shrimp and mediocre rice. The chicken was good but spicy! They only took cash, so we had to go the gas station to get some! It was a joke! Did I get the wrong thing!? It wasn’t worth the wait, ride, or money!!!

Very sketchy neighborhood. Not a chicken wing fan. Ordered 2 tenders with 3 shrimp. Trash. $8 donation. They butterfly both to give larger appearance, but lacked in flavor. Had to pay for BBQ sauce for the tenders…which tasted like tomato sauce with a dash of ketchup and BBQ sauce. Be aware if there are actual chicken wings or drummettes …depends on availablility. I can see why typical blacks love this place. But not for me. Lady at the counter very nice tho.

Waited in line for an hour and a half to get to the order window and find that it's cash only.\n\nWho carries cash in 2026? Especially in this neighborhood?\n\nMajorly disappointed.

Fried chicken recipe changed ya’ll. It DOES NOT taste the same. I have been going to the timmy chan on MLK for many years. The color is lighter, the skin isn’t as crispy crunchy as before and its bland. Its lacking seasoning/flavor unlike before. When you get down to the bone, there is a strange taste…like vinegar or lemon… whatever that taste is, it is not good. I tried to rationalize it in my head like maybe they started cleaning the chicken differently. Mmmmmm I know the chicken was not clean because of the feathers on the wing tips. We ordered 6pc wing only, two 6pc wing dinners one with fries & the other with shrimp fried rice & 2 large drinks $43.79. I couldn’t eat it. So still dine at your own risk, its not going to hit like it use too (MLK location).

I ordered the 8 piece chicken wings with combo spicy rice no eggs, cup of water, corn nuggets. Had to wait 15 minutes after paying Got home, had Drummettes, rice had eggs, no water and was charged $24.99. Really patronized them a lot, but no more. Need to hire order taker who understands what people ordered!!!😡🤬😤

I drove over 20 minutes to get to this restaurant. I arrived at 9:12pm on 08/27/2025 attempted to go inside and place an order because they had cones in front of the drive thru leaving it inaccessible. Upon going inside was told they were no longer taking orders. This business advertises that they close at 9:30pm therefore this business should adjust their operating hours if they are going to no longer take orders before 9:30. Please GET IT TOGETHER SO THAT CUSTOMWRS LIKE MYSELF DO NOT WASTE THEIR TIME DRIVING THAT DISTANCE FOR YOU AS A BUSINESS TO NOT OPERATE ON YOUR SUGGESTED BUSINESS HOURS.

I'm a first-time customer and will be a last time customer. There's no way I'm returning back to this place no way look at the shrimp fried rice the shrimp appear to be very very pink those are not real shrimp please don't eat this please do not eat the shrimp I would love to show you a sample with a real shrimp should look like in shrimp fried rice but see the problem is it's when you put places in places where you think people need them you're going to buy the food I'm never going to return here again what kind of chicken tenders don't look like chicken tenders and if I do return I'm only going to buy the chicken wings in the Kool-Aid slush that's it they can keep everything else but please listen to me do not order the shrimp fried rice those pink shrimps are not real shrimp it appeared to be dry shrimp and all they do is wet them with some water and they turn into taste like shrimp. May I also add that the shrimp fried rice had a odor to it the so-called shrimp fried rice
