"WOW!!! That was the best, THE BEST, Shrimp and Crab Louie EVER! Everything was fresh and there was an abundance of shrimp and crab, not just a few of them sprinkled on top. The bread rolls were heated and even the butter was placed in a separate container so they didn't melt or get smashed. Thank You Gilda's and a big hug to the Chef and Preppers. "
"This was a DoorDash order. I ordered my filet mignon med rare; it was well done. The coleslaw was hot. The spaghetti and meatballs tasted like Sysco quality; no way was it homemade. Although they didn't clam it to be homemade, it was pricy for "freezer food." Crab cakes were sub par at best. The vegetables were good and cooked perfectly. The fruit bowl was hot...probably similar to the hot Cole slaw being bagged with hot food. Cold vs. hot should be bagged accordingly. We also only received one set of utensils for $140 worth of food, including two entry's. Seems common sense to pack fo at least two people eating. Disappointing on several levels. From quality, cooking and packing the to-go."

"This was my second time ordering the Broccoli Beef and the Scallion Pancake and my first time trying the pork Pan-Fried Dumplings. The Broccoli Beef was fresh, flavorful, and consistent, just like my first order. While it’s one of the more expensive broccoli beef options in the area, the quality makes it worth it. My only suggestion would be to add a few more carrots. The Pork Pan-Fried Dumplings were crispy, flavorful, and cooked well. I ordered them with the sauce, and while it tasted good at first, I found it became too salty after a few bites. I would probably order them without the sauce next time. The sauce worked best when used sparingly every other bite. I also tried the Scallion Pancake, which was crispy but a bit salty if eat with sauce as well. Overall, I enjoyed everything and will definitely keep ordering these items. Next time, I’d like to try some of the other pan fried dumpling flavors."
"The Scallion Pancake were very thin and crispy. I ate it without the sauce and it didn't need it to me. I would order again. I ordered the Fresh Spring Rolls with the tofu and the seasoning is good however, you only get enough peanut sauce for 2 of the 4 rolls if you are a double dipper like me. The Broccoli Beef is very flavorful and delicious just wish more carrots in it. I would order this again."
