"The Philly Cheese Steak was bigger than my head and absolutely delicious. Most places would charge $15 - $20 for a Cheesesteak that size, only $10 here! The Chicken Over Rice with the Spicy Rice was packed full of flavor in every bite, especially when paired with their sauces! If you can't handle spice, be very wary or the hot sauce! The 6 Pc. Mac 'n Cheese Bites were an excellent little appetizer to go with my meal, and I enjoyed them very much! I highly recommend ordering from Naz's Halal for great food and great bang for your buck! You genuinely cannot go wrong!"
"Absolutely wonderful! You'll notice I've not added a photo, and it's because both times I've gotten food from Naz's I dig in before I can take a picture. It's that good. The quality of the burger is great, and the buffalo chicken is probably the best I've had. I rarely leave reviews but this place is too good."

"The cheese curd Cheeto bites are pretty good the lemonade was lacking in flavor I order the blue raspberry and thought I'd be getting like a jolly rancher type but it was kinda bland but the tenders were amazing great for the family "
"I've now tried the Buffalo, BBQ, and asian chili Boneless Wings. The first 2 were awesome great flavor great wings, and the flavor of the asian chili was good but the wings themselves were super hard like they'd been sitting a while. But maybe just a bad day for them. The Flavored Lemonades is nothing special, very watery. Also no straw"

"Honestly hands down some of the best Chinese food I've had. L12. General Tso's Chicken some of the best sauce and with flavor. not too much and gkazed nicely to the chicken chunks, but not too much. broccoli steamed perfectly, sadly only 2pcs 😢. Including options to bump up the heat would be nice too. regardless it was very delicious and best I've ever had L3. Chicken with Broccoli the sauce is very well balanced and flavorful. I got this for the toddlers and they tore it up. I liked it more than the General Tso's. 3 orders for less than $20 (not including delivery and tip). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it! You won't be let down. Sorry. no photos. We scarfed it down too fast! 😂"
"the chicken wings fell off the D3. Boneless Spare Ribs (7), Teriyaki Beef (3), Chicken Wings (3) the chicken wings fell off the bone so good fresh. the beef teriyaki was very good the ribs were good not fatty. the rice I didn't care for but that's not the restraints fault.

Rave Reviews
"Best ramen I've ever had. The 5 spice broth was so flavorful. The beef wasn't overcooked and chewy like many other ramen/pho spots in the city and surrounding areas. The ingredients were fresh. My boyfriend liked his pho broth based ramen as well(chicken). To be person in the reviews who said the chicken in the ramen was ground chicken straight lied. I will definitely return!"
"Food was amazing! Last time we ordered we tried the ramen bowl and rice bowl both were delicious and fresh. This time we ordered crab Rangoon, chicken wings, Thai fried rice, orange chicken, chicken satay. Everything was amazing! So delicious and you can tell was made fresh to order. Only thing I will say is the chicken wings didn't mention that they were tossed in a sauce and my 5 year old is picky so she wanted them plain. Also wasn't aware the orange chicken came with rice. Aside from that everything was so good. Best in Fall River!"

"All of the food we ordered was delicious, especially the Pork Fried Rice . It was perfectly seasoned and there are big chunks of roast pork along with snow peas, carrots, mini corn, it was all so good!"
"I really love the wontons in this soup. They are made with chicken, are light and very tasty however they are very small, which would be fine but they only give you 6 of them in a large order of soup that costs almost $16. Other than the 6 very small wontons there is only bean sprouts. Ridiculously Expensive."

"First of all, the menu is impressive. It was hard to decide! I usually don't order chicken because I cook it well at home but I'm really glad I tried the Milanesa a Andina. It was amazing. also, the Fried Yucca.... you have to try it; I've only tried one other place that makes it just as good. The portion sizes are great. The food arrived hot and well packaged. Hats off to the chef!"
"Great flavor ! And so delicious. My only critique for the quesadillas would be to maybe separate them so they don't get soggy from the cheese. I thought they would come with salsa per item description but there wasn't any. Still really enjoyed my meal!"
