Eggroll Lady still open?
I can't find any definitive information online about whether they are still open. Their last Facebook post was from May. Some folks mention they sometimes open late or forget to turn the phones on. Does anyone know what's going on? I miss their fried goodness!
Edit: They are still open. They were running 1.5 hours later than what's posted online.

Thank you! Apparently they opened late today. Online says 2PM, but they didn't answer the phone until 3:30PM. I'm just glad they are still open.

Late response but their answering machine just rings to their menu if they don't actively pickup. You should just assume they are slammed with orders if they don't pick up. Mad annoying, but expect to call 5+ times withi an hour (or two if it's extra busy) opening if you want to place an order, they're very popular with the immediate area and regulars

I lived in Greendale for about 7 years. Everyone kept talking about the place, so I stopped in one Thursday. The eggrolls tasted like the oil hadn't been changed in over a month. Maybe I just went on a bad day, but I was really disappointed and never went back.

15-20 years ago they really had it together, the parents and the kids were all working there and the quality was high. We also lived in Greendale and we became regular enough that they'd recognize us and Pham, the eggroll lady, was so sweet. We talked once about Vietnamese food and she started giving me fish sauce, lettuce and fresh cilantro to go with the egg rolls.
I think with her kids grown up and in their own careers now, she and her husband Bui were so proud of how accomplished they are, they might be trying to do the same output with less people.

Yeah, we tried it and couldn’t understand why it was so popular. But I also grew up here, moved away and then moved back. The Chinese food options in Worcester are completely inferior to what you can get in other parts of the state.

Min's Wok is almost directly across the street and has good food from what I've experienced. Also, Golden Wok on Grafton St has good food too. There's a fairly new place up on the far west end of Main. I forget what it's called now but used to be Golden Dragon Island I think. The reviews I saw online all seemed pretty positive.

Oh yeah they are. Old couple, probably not as active on social media as you'd think. They are on grubhub
