This is a place in the 757 where you can still get hometown favorites like small smoke (if you gotta ask then you dont know) and only found in this area is our delicious Yock which i got chicken ... If you ever want to try something differently delicious then I suggest you come on down and give them a
I stopped by Mak's Chinese in Berkley on 9/27 for a small smoke ( my favorite) and some Yock (757 thing, if you know you know). Mak's is a Norfolk staple, with fresh food, fast service with no frills. Strictly takeout and has very reasonable prices. The smoke was good as always with a really good brown gravy and is served with two soft rolls. The shrimp Yock was ok. I had to take it home and doctor it up a little bit, but for the price, you can't be mad. Plus if you grew up on Yock like I did everybody got their own way of eating it in terms of flavor profile ( spice, sauce, vinegar, egg, etc). If you don't know, get it the know.

Best chinese food in the area. My faves are beef and brocolli and shrimp egg foo young. It's close to my house but I would make the drive if it wasn't. Oh, and you can't beat the prices!!
This is just good old fashioned Chinese food!!! Made fresh to order, and super friendly service!!! This place gives you that hometown feeling and has been a staple in Hampton Roads for years!!!!! The prices are more than reasonable, my favorite dish is the sausage fried rice with a side of gravy. There is nothing super fancy about the decor but you'll love the food!
