" First time getting takeout from Howard China, and I’m impressed! The chicken was perfectly cooked, and their fries were crispy, the way I like them. I didn’t care much for the shrimp fried rice, it felt bland and not freshly made. But the wings might just make me forget that minor detail. Overall would happily return for the wings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love Howard China! I would travel just for the wings! They are consistently full of flavor and crispy! Not too much to say on the atmosphere, it’s strictly a grab-and-go kind of place which suits me just fine. I enjoy it best when I can eat at home. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across Howard China randomly and ordered their chicken wings based on the buzz online. The wings were delicious, and I especially loved the tangy mumbo sauce! They were crisp as I like them. The downside? The wait was quite long since the place was crowded, and I must admit the area felt a little rundown. Still, it's a carryout spot, and the food is definitely the star here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m from out of town and was introduced to Howard China by a friend. These wings are nothing short of legendary! I absolutely adored the mumbo sauce; it has this incredible tangy sweetness to it. However, I must say the dining area felt very rushed and cramped, and they only take cash - which was a hassle for me. But those wings, seriously, call me back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" The wings are good, but I was let down by their crab rangoons. They were lacking flavor compared to other items. The atmosphere is more of a takeout vibe, so don't expect to try comfortably. The service was quick, which I appreciated. Stick with the wings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Whenever I crave wings, it’s hard to think of anywhere else but Howard China. Their wings have a unique flavor, especially when dipped in their famous mumbo sauce! Portions are more than enough for the price. The only drawback for me is the kind of shabby decor. But when you’re hungry for wings, you just have to look past those things. " (*Curated Review*)

" Howard China has been my go-to place for wings since my college days, and the quality hasn't dropped! I tried the teriyaki chicken for a change and was blown away by how flavorful it was. The wait can be long during peak hours, but it's worth it for the food. Cash-only is a pain, but my love for the wings makes it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)
