| - Noodle and Rice is my go-to Chinese delivery place.
I've tried a number of items on their menu - sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, panang curry - and they've all been top-notch. The dishes served with battered meats are always crispy and flavorful, the vegetables are always fresh and have a good bite to them - and it's not just because they are always delivered (not dine-in, but delivery) with sauce on the side so that stuff doesn't have time to get soggy.
The pad Thai and panang noodles are excellent. Crab puffs are tasty and (I'd guess) made in-store, since I've never seen a pre-made rangoon that has fresh diced peppers in it. The egg rolls are unusual but tasty, with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon.
The staff is always friendly, and delivery has always been right on the mark; generally it takes 45 minutes for delivery, but when they say 45 minutes, they have *always* been there 45 minutes or sooner.
To the person who rated a star because it took an extra 15 minutes to get the order, I can say that out of fifteen times ordering at this place I've *never* failed to receive the callback they mentioned; I would be more likely to believe that you misentered the telephone number.
Dining in can be a bit cramped, and if I were to consider this as a dine-in I'd probably give it more like 3.5 stars; it really is a hole-in-the-wall, and seating is a bit cramped, probably not a good decor or ambiance for 'date night'. But for Chinese take-out or delivery, this place tops everything else I've found.
