I wish I enjoyed Ninja City as much as I enjoy Bac in Tremont. Nope. Not even close.
A week and a half ago, I was sick. Like, sleeping 16 hours a day, weakness, dizzy, fever, aches, rivers of snot etc. When I feel that rotten, all I want is spicy soup, specifically Bac's tom yum. I was literally dreaming of it by my 2nd sick day.
I remembered his new joint is on the East Side, so I found up the menu online and there it was, the tom yum of awesomeness. And turns out they delivered to my address. Yay!! Since I had no quick food in the house/wasn't up to cooking, I got a few things, hoping that it would last til I could attempt a grocery store trip.
I ordered the $9.95 bento with tempura sweet potato fries, tom yum soup and shrimp gouda quesadilla, the tofu bahn mi sandwich and another tom yum soup. It was 2:41pm (the call is still in my phone.)
By 3:28, I called back, since there was no delivery and no call from the driver. The girl told me they were super busy and he's on his way. I got a call 5 minutes later, But no driver. He said he was there, but turns out at the wrong address. I didn't get my food til 3:45, an hour after ordering.
The shrimp quesadilla was HALF of a 6" round. Picture slightly bigger than a cd folded in half then cut into 2 tiny quarters, I should have taken a pic. The soup was a tiny 8oz container. Are you kidding me?? The menu says "little bites." How about call it what it is: microscopic bites. Nano bites. Fuck you give me your money bites.
The only thing worth it was the bahn mi, $8.95, but it was not as good as Bac's. The bread was dry, maybe a sauce was missing. Or maybe it sucked because everything was stone cold by the time it arrived. I should have called and complained, but instead went back to bed and passed out for like 3 more days.
I would have given 1.5 stars if I could because the soup was delicious. But the crappy service, lack of value in the meal, cold food and sub-par execution overall is why I went with 1 star. Soooo disappointing.
Take the trip across town to Bac in Tremont, especially during happy hour. Sorrynotsorry, Ninja City. I really expected better from you.
