Was next door getting a face lift (read that as eyebrows threaded) and came out really hungry. NB I went in really hungry. This shop was right next door so I decided to give it a try.
I ordered the $5.75 five combo steam plate. I chose rice, sesame chicken, some type of beef, an order of dumplings (2) and bakchoy.
After my first bite I thought this stuff is really great! You know how it goes when you're famished and food hits your palate?
After 3 or 4 mouthfuls reality set in.
"It isn't really that good is it Freeyah" my brain asked my mouth.
"Not really" mouth and even tummy responded.
Aestherics aside (yeah you kinda SEE what you're in for) location wise it's convenient, right there on a main street where they're all usually located. The food is filling and It's cheap. 3 stars because you picked me up when I was down.
The End.
My go to Chinese spot in the slope. Good price, good food and fast delivery!
I really like their lo mein. It is cheap and delicious. They have sriracha sitting out for your dousing pleasure.
I tried their dumplings once. They were kind of weird, especially doughy, but not unpleasant.
The price is right there, and the taste is the best I have found in comparing all the similarly divey Chinese joints in the general area. I will for sure get food from them again…
PRO TIP: While working out at the YMCA close by, if you get that Chinese food hunger, you can order from them on Seamless and pick it up right after your workout…YOU EARNED IT.
The food here tastes really good, and the price is super cheap. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about. This is more of a quick grab and go spot, but the value is definitely something to come back for.
Pretty staple Chinese delivery food. Significantly cheaper than some of the surrounding Chinese places. The delivery took the exact amount of time stated on seamless (45 min), the food was hot and fresh tasting. They also really listened to my special requests (all white meat chicken in the General Tso's chicken, light on the oil in the Mei Fun). The only annoying thing was that they called me twice and said that the delivery guy was outside, but he wasn't… So they must have had the wrong number.
For the price and quality of food, I'm very satisfied with this place. 4 items + (rice or lo mein) for only $5.50 or 1 item + (rice or lo mein) for $2.75. A box full of food that can usually last me three meals. 🙂
The selection here is pretty good and usually fresh. You have your standard dishes such as sesame chicken, beef with broccoli, etc, but they also have some more authentic vegetable dishes such as tofu with veges, peppered shrimp with veges, and sautéed bok choy. The food here is not too greasy and they have brown rice as an option.
