Consistently delicious. I order from here probably once a month or so, and they always do a great job, whether pickup or delivery. Small shop, so not great for groups to eat in, but I've done it for a quick lunch. They have discounted lunch specials too. They are fast, the food is great, the portions are large, and the price is reasonable. The fried crab wonton is my favorite, it's different than most places and has large chunks of meat. They also have very good vegetarian dishes and follow special requests. I've never had a bad experience.
Honest review because I use to order from this place often BUT I WON'T ORDER HERE ANY MORE!!! When I moved in this neighborhood, I still wanted to try this place to give a fair chance. They were pretty consistent in the beginning but lately my mother started complaining about their food (she loved them). I still would order but notice it started to be a hit or miss. I called to order my usual and was handled very rude by a short stubby man who told me he was the owner - i usually only see the tall gentleman or older grey haired man when I come in. He began to did at me about what comes in a plain fried rice and I said just the fried rice. I was already in route to pick up while ordering so i went in to check if maybe he was just having a bad day. He goes to tell me he sees Ive had refunds for food because i didn't say what i want!!?? I've never requested any refund and thought maybe he's confusing with someone else. He goes to tell me just order from GrubHub or DoorDash and they can just give my money back if i don't like it!!!? That's like implying you know your food can be bad, no thank you!!!!
So I visited Nicky's Chinese food today and had a great experience. I ordered the Chicken Almond Ding and a Tomato and Beef Thick Soup - both of which were delicious! The service was polite and the staff was very helpful in making a good recommendation. The only downside was that it took a while for the food to come out, so I'd recommend being patient. The food was definitely worth the wait, but it was a bit pricey. All in all, I had a great experience and I would recommend Nicky's to anyone looking for a good Chinese meal.
The rating is actually ZERO. I just purchased my order of beef and pork combo fried rice 20 mins ago on my way to work. I sit to eat and lo and behold they forgot the pork and the beef, but upon numerous inspections I found miniscule slithers of what used to be pork or beef. So literally I paid ten dollars for a small "ghost meat " fried rice. They are basically ripping people off serving sub par food for high prices . The food is prepared with total disdain for the customer. It was dog food. I threw it in the trash. I stopped eating Chinese food years ago for this very same reason. Now I'm scarred for life. Never Will I order from this place again. Wish I had read the reviews first What a total waste of money !!!!!
Highly disappointed never again. I order small shrimp fried rice extra scallions and extra eggs. Scallions was cute very large unlike how they usually do and they fried an egg and place it on top of my food. I order an eggroll and it was sour and made me sick for 3 days. Nicky's has really fell off very bad!!!! I'm done.
