...chinese food place making eggrolls...

I'm curious: how exactly do you know they're making them from scratch?
Do you have a view of the kitchen?

  within the last few months i've been in their kitchen
when they've been making them.  we'd ordered a large
takeout meal for a family gathering and had to pick it up
when they were still getting ready to open.  we went in
the door and nobody was at the front desk as usual so we
had to walk back to the kitchen and get the order.  they
were there working around a large food prep table piled
full of eggroll innards.

  so, yes, i'd say it very likely they are still making
their own since the flavor and blend of ingredients has
not changed in the recent months (i've eat several dozen
of their eggrolls in the past six months).  when you've
been eating these for about fifty years you kinda know
what they're like.
