Overall impression: Eggrolls + fried fish and seafood take-out from a teeny teeny tiny spot. Very popular, run by a friendly family. Not for vegetarians, though.

Work has been busy, and my only day off this week we spent out of town (eating awesome Indian food in Arlington, in part). So I was feeling anxious about not having tried a new Worcester place since the 14th. This led to a spur of the moment decision to get take-out from a place down the hill in my neighborhood, the Egg Roll Lady and Fish shack. I looked at the menu online and knew there wasn't actually going to be anything for me to eat, since I don't eat fish or seafood. But I had heard from knitting group friends that it is awesome, so I decided Eric could be my taste-tester.
This place is small (tiny, actually). A counter, a drinks cooler and a few tables. Open only a few days a week, too - Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Saturday at 5:30 it was filled with regular customers eating in and and picking up. The people that run it were very nice, and it was quick. The smell pleasantly reminded me of a state fair. I got eggrolls (pork, chicken, veggies) for Eric and kimchee for me.
Eric thought the eggrolls were quite good. Good enough that I'm sure he'd be happy to try their fish and seafood. The kimchee was much too sweet for me, though. But given the rave reviews from others, I say this is a perfect place for quick fried food if you are in the neighborhood.
