| - Hi Everyone,
With high hopes of finding a better Chinese delivery restaurant than China-A-Go-Go and China AAA, we tried China Joe's on Eastern for the first time on 3/9/17. We had every intention of posting a positive review for our first delivery, but never got the chance as we placed our second order on 3/21/17. Our first experience on 3/9 was pretty good with the exception of the 45 minute delivery wait time.
We ordered 2 individual dinner boxes at $8.25 each, which includes 1-choice of rice or lo mein noodles, 1-side dish and 1-choice of entree. My husband ordered the Orange Chicken while I ordered Kung Po Shrimp, which cost $1.00 extra [for shrimp]. China Joe's did not disappoint and made a great first-impression with [their] tasty egg rolls and lo mein noodles.
We ordered again on 3/21/2017 - this time around I ordered Kung Po Chicken and my husband ordered Teriyaki Chicken. We both ordered the lo mein and added 1 full order of egg rolls to include extra dipping and soy sauce, with an emphasis on "dont forget to bring chopsticks".
Unfortunately, our entire meal was a BIG disappointment. The egg rolls were ice cold and "blah" tasting - blah, blah, blah... AND the chicken on both entrees was so tough that we had to chew, chew, and keep chewing just to get thru our meals lol. We only ate enough to satisfy "our hunger pangs", then threw the rest away in the garbage can - which meant, NO Chinese leftovers for breakfast or lunch the following day - a total bummer :(. Also, my driver forgot to bring our chopsticks, IS a big part of the dining experience in my opinion.
We did not bother to call and complain. To be frank, I am growing very tired of the lack of consistency and subpar food when it comes to delivery and takeout dining. We've decided to simply move past this bad experience and continue our quest to find a suitable Chinese restaurant that delivers quality food in our area.
Since our first dining experience with China Joe's was favorable, we gave them 2 stars. As for our 2nd visit, we reluctantly give China Joe's 1 star as the Yelp site does not offer patrons the ability to rate a company at zero stars or below.
[Post script] - I just learned that China Joe's uses third-party delivery companies such as GrubHub to deliver its food orders. Since I live only a few blocks away, it now makes sense why both deliveries took over 45-minutes for delivery.
