I am always happy coming in to pick up or sit down with my family at Tim's! This long time Mom and Pop establishment welcomes you happily and provides great food and great service. My daughter and my last visit was a delicious lunch that was more than healthy proportions but a great value as we had leftover for tomorrow...and later for me. Love the selection for easy pick up as well as the choices to order ahead or there and wait with good company. Best Chinese in town!

I really like this little place, think it is husband and wife team. Ordered a ton of food for my daughter's b'day party (Mongolian beef, lemon chicken, crab rangoon, veggie rice, veggie chow mien, egg rolls and fried shrimp).
The kids really enjoyed the food, but me.... it was "a-ok." Seemed like a ton of vegetables vs beef in the Mongolian beef dish. It really wanted to be spicy, almost like a wasabi but in newborn non-potent strength. The noodles for the chow mien were overcooked leaving them a little starchy.
Did like the spices put in the egg rolls and the crab rangoon. Will try this place and some different dishes next time to get a better picture of the overall menu.
The proprietors are absolute sweethearts. -

WE ARE IN LOVE
we just moved down the road and this is the first place we stopped to grab some food. The flavors are incredible! Service was so awesome and welcoming. Shirley and Tim are so sweet! Best Chinese I've ever had, seriously you need to go try this place. Also everything is already made so it's a quick pick up, prices are great and it's darling and clean inside. We are already ready for another plate! -

OkOkOk.... So I've passed this place a zillion times, and have never had an interest to go inside. Not even when I went a few times to the taqueria right next door, did I ever once look at Tim's and think "I need to try that!"... SHAME ON ME!!!
A co-worker friend of mine came back on his lunch break the other day, with food from Tim's, raving about them. Then I pulled out my trust dusty Yelp app and looked them up. Well, I've been looking for good won-ton soup in the area for a while and everywhere I've found that has it, pretty much leaves me sad. Except Betty's Noodles, but theirs has long noodles in it too and all I want is WON-TONS.
Anyway, I drift in my story... LOL
I got a hair up my backside yesterday and decided that I was going to stop after work, and give them a try. The place is tiny inside, I'm talking 2 tables and almost zero standing room. When I walked in I was greeted by the sweetest cute little woman, who took my order for won-ton soup, walnut shrimp, eggplant and bbq pork buns. After I paid, she gave me 2 free been curd ball things (don't know what they're called but MAN were they deliciousness in my face-hole!!).
While I was waiting for my order I sat at one of the tables, and a mom came in with her kids to get food. They sat down at the table with me, and when I offered to move so they could eat they told me to stay... we had a great chat, it was really nice. So Ok, great service and friendly customers? I'm super happy at that point already! I got my food, said my goodbye's and off I went.
When I got home and situated, I got out my spoon and took my first sip of Heaven! That broth though!!! And most places I get won-ton soup only give maybe 6 won-tons... I didn't count how many were in the container, but it was PACKED with huge billowy moist pillows of OMFG SO GOOD I COULD DIE FROM HAPPINESSES!!! LOL I can say with all honesty that this is probably the best won-ton soup I have ever had!!
The walnut shrimp was amazing, and they don't skimp on either shrimp or walnuts. The eggplant was SO good, the only thing I didn't like was the tofu chunks (next time I'll see if it's possible to order it without the tofu). I haven't tried the pork buns yet, but they look delicious and the reviews have been great so I'm not going to doubt that they're going to be wonderful too!
Ok, I'm sold... Tim's is really good! I forgot about judging books by their covers, apparently. Lesson re-learned! :-)
Go for the soup... and remember that you don't have to get the stuff you see pre-made when you walk in. You can order from the kitchen, and they make it fresh and delicious right away. Yumm!!!
