| - I wanted to order from Good View a couple of times before doing a review so here goes...
First of all, the Combos for one are an excellent deal, I got sweet and sour pork with chicken and mixed veggies, which also came with fried rice and an egg roll.
The food was scalding hot even after I got it home and was clearly made fresh, not just leftovers reheated, which is impressive for an order for one. The egg roll was standard as was the fried rice but I was most impressed by the chicken and veggies because the veggies still were crisp and not soggy the way you usually get them in a take out order. All the food was well seasoned with garlic and such, and not overly salty.
The second visit was General Tsao chicken and beef and snow peas.
The General was my least favourite, a bit too sweet and not enough heat and oddly there was broccoli which made the sauce watery.
The beef and snow peas was excellent, tender beef with garlic and expertly seasoned, not too salty like most Chinese places, and once again the veggies were perfectly crisp - not soggy at all.
While hubby picked up the order today the woman at the cash was fretting because two drivers had been stuck in traffic near the Queens Quay because of Carribana and Pan Am events, and customers were complaining, so if you want to be guaranteed your food fast order and pick it up, otherwise be patient... Chinese food isn't like a pizza, it can take longer to cook properly and pack up, and if you live more than 10 minutes away, be glad decent food will deliver to you! So many decent Chinese restaurants downtown don't deliver, and most of the ones that do aren't very good.
Being close to Ryerson, I highly recommend the combos for one, a great deal with lots of food for around $10 and if you order it when you leave, it will be ready to pick up when you get there. Better quality food than the UofT Chinese food trucks, trust me on that!
