Â* Properly spiced lo mein is delicious . When we visit Memphis we'll
often stop in at the place I worked for lunch . For around 5 bucks you
get a foam container about 10" square with half lo mein (choice of beef
, chicken , pork , or shrimp) and the other half fried rice . And an egg
roll - made on premises . Good eats !
