Two parts to this review, Delivery + Food
Delivery:
I live approximately 5.6 miles from the store. On any given day its about 11 minute drive on a straight road to get here. As it was about 420 when placing my order, I assumed it would take some time to get heres I figured a god 45-1 hour. I received an email that stated the time would be ~45 minutes. Ok gotcha. 1 hour later, nothing. 1 hour 15 minutes later, call the restaurant. They really seemed like they didn't know but sad its on the way. 1.5 hours later, call them back, they called the driver and he was " here". a few minutes later the food arrived. Read the next section for more info on that.
Food:
the bad:: Wel because from order to delivery taking 1.5 hours the food was cold, with the exception of the two main dishes because the core of food in the box retained some heat. That aside. I ordered beef and mushroom. There were a lot of other veggies in there more than mushrooms but thats ok variety is nice. It was good, nothing spectacular, but hey its just a brown sauce right? The second dish was the Beef with Garlic sauce. I dot like things hot, so I ordered it with "no heat" There were so many different vegetables in there, broccoli, carrots, bamboo shoots, celery, and the sauce was SUPER SWEET. It almost tasted like a base of water + garlic + a few other things + SUGAR/cornstarch to thicken. It was a far cry from anything i have had before from anywhere else.
the good: The spring rolls are HUGE, picture egg roll size, but thinner wrapper and a lot of stuffing. It was really good. And the Beef teriyaki was really good. Thats the main reason I order from them. It sucks it was cold and after 1 stick, I heated it up gently in the microwave but that dried it out :(
Overall the food is not bad, they do add a lot more random vegetables and there is a good 70/30 veg to meat ratio. Like most chinese places each place is different so its more like a grab bag. Even sauces are different so you cant even know what you are getting till you try it. The GOOD thing is, they use the small cartons for food. so you can get "small" or "large" so you can grab 4-5 different things and eat family style to pic and taste.
