| - For the first time ever, I ordered takeout for dinner thru the Yelp app, which takes you to eat24 another app for takeout and delivery. ordering was really easy, we got the family dinner A, which comes with 2 entrees on a specific list. steamed or pork fried rice, hot sour soup or egg drop soup, and 2 crab ragoon and 2 spring rolls. there's an option to pay cash or credit card. and then you get sent an email
where you can check the status of the order and the time it can be picked up. how easy is that? I have to say I was a little wary because of stories where orders are placed online, fax or phone, you get there and food is not ready or they can't find the order, so you wait again, or leave hungry and exasperated. but for my first time it worked and it was seamless.
Now for the food, it was ready at the counter when we went in. we ended up getting the Mongolian beef, general tsao chicken and hot Sour soup. these are our usual in rotation with the beef broccoli at any Chinese restaurant. my daughter was in heaven! she said it was the best Chinese and was happy we got takeout. The hot sour soup was the best I had. they put good size shrimp and imitation crab in there. it comes with won ton strips to put on top. the Mongolian beef was flavorful, we got medium spice and it was tender. they also stir fry bell peppers and onions with it, makes me wonder what the pepper beef is like? the general tsao chicken was crispy and tender under the sauce they use also had peppers, onions , carrots and pineapple which I don't mind the veggies, but at other restaurants it doesn't come that way. crab ragoon is better than any other I've had. at least you can see the crab and it's jt sweet. spring rolls aren't anything special. it's basically cabbage with a tiny bit for carrot. I would have like to see more carrot and some onion in there. it would make a difference and set it apart from others.
All in all, this place is very good for the 2 times we've been. I can't believe we haven't been more. the other time it was at lunch takeout and it's pretty sizeable portions.its very fast, it's chinese after all.icant imagine they would take more than 10mins to prepare. I'd never get delivery, I'm so close, but not close enough to walk and pick up to take home, well maybe if I didn't have a car.
