| - **Review of Delivery Only**
I live around the corner from this place, and pass by it all the time. I'm picky about my Chinese food, and get nervous trying new places.
Yesterday, as a bit of back story, I spent all day with my roommates cleaning our house and garage.
By 4:00pm, I was starving, and ready to just order in and veg out.
My roommate and looked up the menu for Red Shrimp Company, since we had just seen it again Saturday night, and were curious about the food.
The web ordering process was confusing, so we called in and ordered the family meal, to feed 3 people. This came with: 3 entrees (picked from a list, not from the full menu), steamed rice, a choice of fried rice or shrimp lo mein, your choice of soups, and 3 egg rolls and 3 crab rangoon.
We were quoted about 55 minutes for the delivery, which was fine.
About 35 minutes later, the food had arrived!
So excellent points on a quick and speedy delivery.
The Orange Chicken: Good. Better than some that I've had.
The Kung Pao Chicken: very good. I don't do spicy, and it had a very nice heat to it.
The Moo Goo Gai Pan: exceptional. I'd never had it before, so i can't really compare it to other places, but I REALLY liked the flavor.
The chicken was tender in all three entrees.
Crab Rangoon: AWESOME. It was still hot, and was not soggy, like some places rangoons are when delivered. I enjoyed it a lot.
Egg rolls: Meh. I've had better.
Lo Mein: The menu had said shrimp, but we got chicken. Minor disappointment, but the chicken was moist and tender, and the noodles were great, so no biggie.
Rice: We were supposed to get steamed rice, but they gave us chicken fried rice instead. Nice surprise. It was good, but...a little bland, and kind of dry.
The soup, I hated, but my roommate loved. We got the Egg Flower soup...I personally think it looked like snot, and had a snotty/slimey/gross texture to it. I've had homemade Egg drop soup before and liked it, but this was just nasty.
So, all in all, it was ok. I think we definitely got our moneys worth.
I'd order from here again, for sure, just to try some of the other options, and for more Crab Rangoon.
