| - We just moved to 'Tukee, and I drove home realizing I had a hankering for some Chinese food. (Hankering? Apparently having experienced Cracker Barrel one time now I am a Southerner who says things like hankering and "fixin' to"). I don't know the ins and outs of the neighborhood entirely yet, so I came home and got on Yelp and figured I'd give this place a try. I called and was told it would be about 45 minutes to an hour wait for delivery - totally fine, I'm not dying or anything. By the end of my order the guy said, "More like half an hour probably." Even better! So it ended up being an hour and ten minutes. Maybe I'm to blame for this since I didn't know our apartment building number (you'd think they probably are pretty good at navigating apartments though, our building is right near by and I am sure they deliver here frequently). I also feel bad because the driver called me because our complex has a gate, I forgot it closes at six, and we have yet to set up the phone number/directory thing to let people in. Whoops. So far I am sounding like a pretty horrible person...I promise, I'm not out to torture the delivery drivers of the world!
I ordered Mongolian chicken (okay, and an order of crab puffs, AND wontons...I had to meet the delivery minimum, which wasn't posted on their website, but I figured my boyfriend can eat the leftovers when he gets home. ...Or whatever, I'll be a fat kid tonight and go to town alone), and substituted the white rice for fried rice ($1 extra, why not?). The chicken was good - good flavor, and definitely a big portion. Not what I've usually had as Mongolian, but good nonetheless. The fried rice...I don't really see what was "fried" about it in the typical sense - it was pretty much white rice in oil, as another person already said in their review. The crab puffs...I'll be honest, I'm easy to please in the crab puff category. They were sweet, and very yummy, and had a good texture (you know bad crab puff texture when you have 'em!). Egg roll was standard, greasy but good, and the wontons were HUGE and really good. (Don't be afraid...I sampled everything but left a good share behind for the good ol' BF.)
Overall, I wasn't incredibly impressed. Wasn't bad, wasn't fantastic...cured my Chinese craving, but just barely. Will continue to try and find a really good place nearby...
