"Pineapple fried rice is very delicious. The mixture of pineapples and curry spice creates its unique flavor. The fresh vegetables are crisply cooked, and the cashews and raisins add a unique addition to the flavors and texture. I like the way they make the shrimp they tender, savory, and clean. Not like most restaurants that serve tough, dirty, or rubbery large shrimp."
"BEST 22. Fried Rice and the spring 5. Crispy Spring Rolls (Vegetable or Chicken) are also amazing. The sauce they come with isn't too sweet or thick. I would definitely order again and again from this place. You get 4 spring rolls in an order. I had the vegetable rolls. Highly recommend!!!"

"Pizza and wings were great as usual, but the salad was subpar with the portion for $11 which we noticed afterwards they don't give you an option for a full or half on DoorDash compared to the actual menu on Mondo, which also the price is two dollars cheaper. Would not order a salad next time"

"Really very good, but now I understand why they offer for you to add more sauce. This is not a creamy mac & cheese like most of us are used to, all the noodles are covered in sauce and it has a cheesy FLAVOR...but it's a very wet and thin sauce. Ingredients are all fresh and excellent tasting. The size of the REGULAR bowl is approx 1-1/2 inch deep and approx 7 inches across and filled ALMOST to the top. IF you add in any ingredients like I did, they are a bit sparse, but still really good."
"The Food is sooo good. The Roasted Garlic Cream Tortelloni is delicious , fresh and very wonderful taste. breaded chicken on it was very good. The Cheesy Garlic Bread is so great as an appetizer.flavorful. my man absolutely loves the Pulled Pork BBQ Mac & Cheese .he said it's very very good and we will definitely come or order again. we both adore the amazing Rice Crispy dessert. they are huge and good. can't wait to try some new dishes too! happy with this order."

"This pic is of special request plain mei fun. No carrots or crunchy veggies, so you understand what you're looking at. I'm 67 yrs old. The dish is chicken 140. Chicken Chow Mei Fun It tastes amazing just plain, no super-hot sauce to hide poor flavors. The portion literally expands when opened & fluffed. It's a huge portion with lots of fresh-tasting chicken pieces, not the nasty strips many places use. Most places will not honor special requests or say they do but actually don't. I know this because I deliver for a living. 140. Chicken Chow Mei Fun is my goto Chinese food dish. I can't handle super-spicy food that's all the rage now. I have terrible teeth problems so crunchy or tough & chewy food is out. With mild dishes like chow mein & mein fun I like to add to my own taste; hot mustard, a bit of duck sauce. Really good prices here! Can't go wrong."
"i think this is the best Chinese food ive ever had. Fresh and Clean. Everything was cooked to perfection. The wings were NOT recooked like they are at other places, these were nice and crisp on the outside and cooked perfectly and moist on the inside. .. The rolls were crunchy as should be with nice firm and not soggy fillings. Vegies tender crisp. Very good cold sesame noodles although a bit too sweet. Noodles were not mushy or over saturated with sauce. cooked perfectly. This place is way above any other place Ive ordered from. "

"Ordered a little bit of everything and was more than happy with it all! Sushi tasted fresh, egg rolls were fried perfect, chicken and rice soup was fire, wonton soup solidas well but id go the chicken and rice if i had the choice! 11. Beef with Broccoli was great with solid portions and the pork fried rice i got with it was clearly freshly done! Last but not least, the A11. Crab Rangoon might be the best I've ever had! Even the duck sauce containers tasted better than your average takeout place! Will be ordering again for sure!"
"Pickup order was ready at the promised time. We really enjoyed some of the food items while others were just okay. Was disappointed that two of the eight pieces of sushi in the Sushi Regular entree were shrimp. They were super rubbery in texture and looked old. I also thought that this was pretty cheap of the restaurant to include two of these in the dinner entree. The Black Pepper Tuna Salad was excellent. It contained fresh lettuce and a plentiful portion of peppered tuna. There was no avocado included in the salad (as shown in the picture). The Spicy Maki Combo was also good. The maki rolls were a good size and tasted fresh. The Beef with Broccoli was a large portion, but average in flavor. No one liked the fried rice that came with the beef with broccoli. The Wonton in Szechuan Sauce were not what I was expecting. The wontons were drowning in a thai peanut sauce and only had a small spoonful of szechuan sauce on top. I thought that the wontons would have been coated in a generous helping of szechuan sauce with maybe a drizzle of peanut sauce. This was not the case. The wontons were way too sweet and ended up in the trash. Will consider trying Diner's Haven again at some point in the future."

"We got the Pork Bao for a starter, they were still hot when they arrived and absolutely delicious! The texture from the fresh veggies makes it decadent and there's no spice to it at all because I'm a wimp! The Wonton Ramen was unbelievable. The broths for both the Beef Ramen and Wonton Ramen came hot. The flavor is so rich in the broth! This is our ramen place from now on, this place is outstanding!"

"Everything was amazing! Udon Kee Mao was super savory, a little spicy, and very filling! More beef than a lot of other places I'm happy to report. My gf loved her Coconut Shrimp (8 Pieces) and Chicken Satay (4 Pieces) too. For dessert we went with the Fried Banana with Honey and Mango Sticky Rice. Both on point and refreshing after dinner. Most certainly will be ordering again!"
"possibly the best Crab Rangoon (6 Pieces) ive ever had. the Thai Dumpling (6 Pieces) was really nice as well. the dipping sauces were perfect. each app was generously filled. their spice level is no joke. i put the spice level in the special instructions and they followed it and noted it on the packaging. the Pad Thai was really good and they added extra peanut by request and adjusted the spice. all the vegetables and proteins were very fresh and vibrant. the Drunken Noodle is my favorite dish and it did not disappoint. i would only suggest they remove the tails from the shrimp for the the portions are average for a thai restaurant i would say. their menu is more expansive in the restaurant. i would definitely recommend and order again."

"I like the crispy, The six Vietnamese vegetable rolls with the mint leaves. A picture of a duck shows half eaten. there's a whole lot of duck there. Pretty crazy amount considering how much it cost to buy in a store."
"Fresh ingredients with a nice presentation. I ordered a couple of appetizers, papaya salad, ginger soup, black rice with mango dessert, and a coconut green tea. The Fresh Rolls were smaller than some other Thai restaurants. The papaya salad had a good amount of papaya and wasn't too spicy. The coconut green tea drink had a slight taste of tea and a nice, sweet coconut flavor and came with a paper straw, but it didn't arrive with the lid covered. Maybe a different type of cup would be better for delivery. "

"Passed by the restaurant on the Berlin Turnpike many times, but decided to try the food for the first time today with DoorDash delivery. I used to live in Japan for about five years where curry is pretty popular, but it's not the same as authentic, Indian style cuisine. If you haven't tried Indian food before, it is similar to Mexican for me. While browsing restaurants today, I was looking to order something that would be healthy to have before a health checkup in a couple of days. For my first order from Roti Boti, I ordered: 1. Chicken Kofta (Meatballs) - Unique Item, smaller than expected portion, but tender and flavorful 2. Okra Masla - Mostly spicy but fresh tasting 3. Tandoori Roti - Freshly Made 4. Coriander Lemon Chicken Soup - Unique color, light taste and a little spicy The order total with tip was $47 which is about the same as dining in at any restaurant. The order took about 15mins to be delivered which is reasonable. Not sure if it was worth the price though. "

"The Taco De Birria were soooo tiny. Smallest I've gotten at a restaurant. I ordered 3 and still wasn't full. The meat was tender but not really flavorful. The consume was lacking in flavor too. Nothing special at all. Probably won't order from here again especially since the consume was sold seperate, which is also something I've never experienced. For reference I've eaten these at at least 5 other places. This was my least favorite"
