"While driving through Pepperell on a sunny Saturday afternoon, I came upon Main Street, which was blocked off due to a local parade. I ended up pah-king mah cah in an adjacent strip plaza next to China Express and watched the parade next to this restaurant. The staff from China Express was also watching the parade, so I figured I 'd order lunch takeout from here after the parade had passed through 30 minutes later). The place is very old school, which is an order at the counter place with open kitchen and a few tables for eating in. The menu offerings include the standard Chinese dishes and items, most items under $10 and house special dishes $10.25-$14.75. 20 Lunch Specials served Mon-Sat until 3PM) with pork fried rice, appetizer, and soup for $5.75-$7.50 and 20 Combination Plates $7.75-$9.25) served with appetizer and pork fried rice except D20 Lo Mein). A few dim sum items are offered here too. For lunch takeout, I ordered the L20 Shrimp Lo Mein with Pork Fried Rice, 2 Crab Rangoons, and Hot Sour Soup $7.25 plus tax), which was hot and ready in under 10 minutes. The portion of food was very generous and heavy packed in a square styrofoam box) for the price. The lo mein dish had tender shrimp cleaned) with cabbage and lots of fried onions tossed with soft noodles, tasty and on the oily side. The pork fried rice was tender roast pork chunks and onion. The crab rangoons were folded deep fried triangles filled with good amounts of cheese crab stick mixture, crispy outside. The hot sour soup had a medium spicy flavor broth with tofu, mushrooms, onion, pork, and bamboo. Overall, the food was very tasty and filling enough for 3 meals) and a great amount of hot food at a very reasonable price under $8 for lunch)."
