We got the fried crab Rangoon roll and it was amazing! Both rolls tastes very fresh. Ours were cooked rolls and they were served still very hot, which was nice. The ramen egg was delicious and as expected of a ramen egg. We had quite a bit leftover so the portion sizes are great for the price! Hoping to come back again - Maggie Chen
