| - So I went by the reviews and (I thought) past experience eating here...and told my coworkers they would like this place. Ordered on Grub Hub. it took over 1 hour and 15 minutes to get the food...(it is about a mile and a half away, maybe)...crab rangoons were soggy and cold, and the filling is mostly cream cheese...Pad Thai was greasy and lukewarm, no peanuts (isn't that a staple of Pad Thai recipes???) I normally don't call and complain, but we tipped well and I was starving. They told me they don't put peanuts in ANYTHING b/c of allergies (but the menu clearly lists peanuts) and they offered to replace the rangoons. Well I was hungry so I asked for Chicken and Eggplant to replace the Pad Thai...so about 30 more minutes later...we get only slightly less cold and greasy Crab Rangoons, and a gross interpretation of the eggplant dish, slathered in some dark brown greasy flavourless sauce. No other veggies, just chicken.. Two bites and I gave up. I'll be eating cereal tonite. Oh, and I asked my BF, "is this the place you really like and we both enjoyed in the past?" Oops, no that was ORIENT EXPRESS on Forbes, near the museum/South Craig. That IS good Chinese. Yes, it was inexpensive...but when you can't eat it...cheap just doesn't cut it. I think there's a reason the meals were 6.66. I'm waiting for the stomach pains...
