| - If you're looking for a place for good bad chinese-- you know what I mean, greasy and not at all good for you-- then this is a good place! My boyfriend and I have lived in Old Town for 2 years and had yet to find a decent delivery chinese place. I'd actually ordered from Yummy Yummy over a year ago and was not impressed. But, either it's hit or miss, or their "new management" actually has improved things.
I tend to order a lot of fried, filled foods when I order chinese, and this place did it right! I had crab rangoon, pork filled wontons, and an eggroll, and all were fantastic! The eggroll was gigantic and very crisp, and the rangoon and wontons were crisp with a good amount of filling. Usually when I order these things, the rangoon is soft and mushy, and the wontons are mostly breading. So, I was excited that this was not the case.
My sesame chicken tasted like every other order of sesame chicken I've ever had. I was not a fan of the fried rice that accompanied it. It tasted kind of like I would expect feet to taste. My boyfriend had chicken chow mein and orange chicken with the sauce on the side, and he was a fan of both. Service was accurate and prompt, although, I asked for "lots" of sweet and sour sauce, and they gave me one small container of it, no more than they normally give.
In conclusion, will I go here when I want a gourmet dinner? No. But, will I crave this when I'm hungover and don't want to leave my apartment on a Sunday evening? Absolutely! I am happy to have an alternative to pizza when I want delivery food.
