In a city lacking in quality Chinese food (and no, Pei Wei does not count), The Prime is a welcome addition to my takeout rotation. I have been there twice now - and I am not sure I agree this is a "bad neighborhood" as it is Central and Camelback and signs of civilization are all around - and I have not been disappointed. The curry vegetable is flavorful with just enough spice to give it a good kick. I liked the egg drop soup, too, which was on the thicker side and actually was made with egg! This may seem like a small thing, but I really appreciate that the takeout food has been packed in a box on both of my trips. I hate it when I get a plastic bag with containers stacked on top of each other, which inevitably tip over and spill in my car. It's the little things that make a difference. Eat local and go to The Prime!
