I don’t throw five stars all Willie and Nillie, but guess what, this place was five stars! It was quick. I got a shrimp fried rice. Almost every seat was being used and food still came out quick definitely coming back.

Hands down, best chicken vermicelli I’ve had in years. Chicken was cooked to perfection with lots of flavor. Of course I added Siracha, fish sauce and Hoisin but I add that to everything. 😝 Traditional spring rolls were super fresh. 👌🏽 Will definitely be back to enjoy some drinks on their out door patio along with their good food. Highly recommended!!!

Been coming here for a few years and it's so consistently great! I LOVE the shaking beef fried rice... the steak is so tender and delicious.

Update: Service was average. I’ve been coming here for 11 years now and I really do love this place. That said, my last couple visits in the restaurant felt a bit heavier — the food was much greasier and extra soy sauce was added to my shakeen chicken plate without me asking. Still one of our favorite spots, but maybe worth keeping in mind for folks with stricter diets or health concerns. Hughie’s is one of those places that just makes you happy. Their chicken fried steak is my absolute favorite—crispy, tender, and full of flavor. I never thought I’d rave about kale, but theirs is seriously so good. The shaking chicken and beef have so much flavor and just the right kick of spice. You can really tell everything’s made with love. The staff is always so kind and welcoming.
