| - Late night Sunday night delivery (until midnight). That got us off on the right foot!
I'm actually about 1/2 a mile outside of their delivery area, but I took a shot. I ordered my food online so that if they decided they weren't going to deliver to me, they would have had to call and break the news to me. I got lucky. However, I did have to call them because the delivery was later than the hour and 10 minutes they committed to, and when I did call, they informed me that I was outside the delivery area and that they wouldn't always be able to deliver to me, but they would if it was slow. I had the same conversation with the woman who brought the food to the door. I figure if I behave nicely and tip well, they'll be more inclined to deliver to me when I ask for it.
On to the food! I ordered cashew beef with lo mein noodles, chicken egg foo young, shrimp fried rice, and crab puffs. Because I ordered as much as I did, I got a free order of 4 egg rolls with my order.
The cashew beef was the best I've eaten and the lo mein noodles were delicious as well. The egg foo young was presented a bit differently from what I'm used to, with a mixture of chicken and vegetables on the side of the egg foo young patties and gravy. I don't order this dish too often because it doesn't always set well, but this did and it was excellent. The crab puffs were a bit tough but that didn't stop me from eating every last one of them. I was saddened by the egg rolls, which were among the tiniest I've seen. I like egg rolls that are about the size of the cardboard in a roll of toilet paper; these were more the size of a pack of life savers. I ended up not eating the shrimp fried rice.
One oddity about their menu that I haven't gotten to the bottom of yet: no chicken fried rice on the menu. There's a chicken CURRY fried rice, but no regular chicken fried rice. So I guess if I want that I'll have to phone in my order.
