The first time I ate at the Chicken and Egg Roll on North Shepherd was because of the restaurant review in the Houston Press newspaper. It was delicious and I am so glad that I tried it. It was interesting to me because the cook works with a wok right in front of the customers and the food is delicious.

It seems as though they input local info and just turn a crank to produce their newspaper.
