| - *sigh* I always forget to check Yelp reviews before ordering from Grubhub. Usually that comes back to bite me in the butt.
The delivery was fairly fast, it got here in about 35 minutes (fast compared to the estimated delivery time of 1 hour, that is). But I'm immediately taking off 1 star because they forgot my soda. It would be one thing if I was at home, but I'm at work so I'm stuck drinking nasty tapwater with my mediocre Chinese food. Not what I would call a good night (plus, not getting what you paid for is never a good thing, even if it was just a soda).
The food was definitely warm enough. I ate my cream cheese puffs right away, but the steamed dumplings and lo mein sat around for about 20 minutes before I could get to them and they were still warm.
As for the actual food... well, it's ok. The dumplings are different than I'm used to, they are more doughy than I've had before. Not a bad thing, just something that surprised me since Chinese delivery is usually so uniform. They almost looked homemade. I was wondering why they were almost as much as my entrée- its because there are 9 of them!
The cream cheese puffs were pretty good, but also more doughy than I'm used to. Maybe undercooked? But still good, I would order them again.
I can't leave a review on the lo mein because the cream cheese puffs and dumplings filled me up and I haven't eaten it yet! I opened the container and it smelled good. Looked a little bit light on meat (I ordered beef) but I can't be sure.
OVERALL, here's my final opinion. If, like me, you are ordering delivery and have limited options, go for it. It's not going to be the best Chinese you've ever had, but it's far from the worst I've ever had (see my review for Lucky Kitchen!). If you have the option of driving, then I would suggest driving PAST this place to another restaurant.
