Original Timmy Chan Restaurant

Only the real ones know about Timmy Chans. Real Houstonians. Rappers have rapped about the famous wings and rice! They all say original in the name, and frankly, I don't know which one is since they have a few different locations. Back in my college days, my friends and I would come to take advantage of the cheap prices and hefty portions. As an adult, I worked in the area of this particular location and my coworkers and I would come every so often. It was definitely nostalgic and the food still tasted the same. My palette has also changed so now it's just ok food to me. Their wings and rice is indeed pretty darn good. It's not gourmet by any means, but it is solid. I've also had a few of their very Americanized Chinese dishes and it isn't bad at all. This place is far from fancy, but sometimes the hole in the walls have some great dishes. Would I go out of my way to visit? Nah! I might get the craving one day and check them out again though.

The older lady in the window was very rude I ordered a 4 piece wing dinner with shrimp fried rice with a 4PEICE wing she read my order back and still put in the wrong order and said I ordered wrong when I got to the window she was very rude about it ..after that I experience I will not be ordering again from this location ..The one on MLK and 610 is way better and at least they got good customer service..Ms granny needs to retire because she's not only rude to the customers but rude to the cashier as well

I came here cause because I heard it in rap songs. I got wings with fried rice and gravy with a large Kool aid. It was about $11 and it came out really fast. It looked really good and was a lot of food. It was exactly what I wanted and I really liked it. It was flavorful and I'll definitely go next time I'm in Houston.

The best location in my eyes. However I hate that they are CASH only! But hey the food is so delicious so I keep coming lol! Line will be long but it will move just trust. The general chicken at this location...no other location taste like theirs.

Best curry chicken I have had in a long time while definitely be back. Even though I'll have to drive across town. It will be worth it.

Yes Sir!!! I had to go the hood and get my fix. And for it to be a Friday night I was surely surprise to not see a line! Any who I ordered fried chicken wangz, shrimp fried rice, and some Shrimp Crab puffs. All under $10!!!!! Please don't forget to bring cash money!!! Maybe even a little extra if you plan on purchasing some CD,s or movies...

Now, my first time going here was good! It was a five, for sure. The the wings were fried well with a nice cooked batter. The potato wedges were fries with a nicely coated texture on how they were cooked. I truly enjoyed how the wedges came apart with the crusted wedge flavor, almost reminding me of a creole or southern flavor fry. (1 month ago)I gave it a four because today I ordered the same thing, but instead of the awaited hopeful potato wedges, I receives fries this time. They were cooked well. I could have added more salt and pepper, but is good for those who have the option to add if needed. The ketchup added remaining flavor need without extra salt.My step brother years ago let me try some of his food from there and thought it was good. I never a stopped by due to the word fried. Watching calories over the years, here and there. Knowing I had eaten at many other places that are fast food, I drove up about a month ago and ordered. I was glad I did."Still watching fried" sometimes.Foodie Kim

Heard about this place for a really long time. Maybe it used to be better. It was just okay to me. Too many better fried wings in the city. Wings were dry. The fried rice had salad sized shrimp in it. The pink ones. I just rather not have shrimp if that's what you give me. I ended up adding real shrimp and garlic sauce to my leftover rice the next day. It was so much better then. I shouldn't have had to do that. They did have kool aid and that was good. Cash only. So bring cash if you visit.

Bad service, food was plain and it's cash only still in 2024 smh! Restroom dirty and restaurant smells I will never be back

Best chicken i've had in a WHILE 10/10 so juicy and flavorful had a TINY bit of spicy that i love. also got the shrimp fried rice. could use more flavor and more shrimp but it was ok.
