I finally made it to the infamous Jimmy's Carryout! I've been hearing for years that they have the best yak in the city so I had to check it out. I called in my order of shrimp yak, 2 shrimp egg rolls and a half & half so it would be ready when I pulled up. When I arrived, it was bagged and ready to go. When I got home all it took was my one bite to understand why everybody gives them the "best yak" title. It was definitely worth the trip and I'll definitely be back.

I had the shrimp lo mein. Didn't like it at first. The noodles are small, squareish, and not doughy. Not the round noodles with firm full chew I like. Vegetables and shrimp were really fresh though. There was a lot of sauce and it was liquidy, not thickened or reduced down. If I came back, I'd try something else. It's a carryout without tables so buy your food and get out of there. Waiting on the bench for my order, I did notice a urine smell in the corner. Adds to the ambience :-) You may want to call in and just pick up/pay.
