"I was expecting Spicy Mala Noodle to be spicier...not spicy at all, but the taste is good. the 6 Signature Potstickers though is great even when eaten cold"
"First time, A+ delivery packaging and food presentation; Portion value was good and pricing was extremely reasonable, but food taste was just ok -- Why? Stuffing of pot stickers had very little stuffing; dumplings not hot, lacking flavor."

"Shrimp Wonton Soup the wonton was not well-cooked and had little shrimp in it, I can barely taste it. Soup had too much pepper. Portion for Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet was smaller than I thought.. considering it was almost $20"
"Every single dish was amazing and cooked to perfection. Everything was fresh and still hot when we opened the containers. I have never in my life decided to eat with both hands, but today I had a spoon in my left and chopsticks in my right. The Orange Chicken 陈皮鸡 and the Lao Gan Ma Chicken Fried Noodles 老干妈鸡肉炒面🌶 were too friggen tasty. I got my hand popped by my mum-I'm not even kidding- while trying to taste the Shrimp Fried Rice 虾炒饭 because she was practically inhaling it, despite having whined about wanting Noodles for 20mins before we ordered from here. I had to pester her to at least sample the other dishes. She did and stole the Orange Chicken 陈皮鸡 so I stole the Shrimp Fried Rice 虾炒饭. But she ultimately decided the Shrimp Fried Noodle 虾仁炒面 and Shrimp Fried Rice 虾炒饭 were her favorites and finished off both containers. Definitely ordering from here again and may be popping in the actual restaurant for once so my friends can try it too."

"This is halfway through the small portion of the Small Tom Kha Soup (Coconut Milk Soup) and lemme say it is plenty enough just on its own; they do not skimp on portion size. And the flavor is so amazing and balanced. I am not a fan of spicy so this is the mild variation, and it's got zero kick for spice which is what I wanted. Plenty of chicken bits in there so 10/10 would get again. "
"Crispy rolls were tiny, Pad See Iw tasted like an acquarium and shrimp were rubbery, yellow curry was bland and flavorless (we order medium spicy, but no spice whatsoever). To top it all off, it was way over priced. I don't understand the positive reviews at all."

"So I like the tea, it is good and fragrant. I also love the toppings because it's not that overly sweet selection and still fragrant. Odd One Out Tea is expensive compared to other high quality shops as well. I think the description is confusing because it says the drinks come with a topping already and then you have the option to add another topping in the selection. So I thought I could add brown sugar boba to the TW 23’ Golden Buddha Silk Boba that says it already has the handcrafted silk boba topping included. So I was expected both the silk boba and brown sugar boba in the drink but it only had the brown sugar boba. Just something to keep in mind I think this shop only allows 1 topping in each drink. "

"We discovered Baba Boba awhile ago when our regular boba place closed. They had a 4 star rating and we thought it must be good. Well they exceeded our expectations!! Everything we have tried is awesome!"
"I spent $25-27 on two bobas and got no boba for either one. unfortunately the Tai tea was very bland. I asked for 100% sugar and espresso on both and it tasted like they had Splenda. I was looking forward to these drinks I ordered them an hour before they opened. the super large drink looks cool, great for dates but it was just melted mini bucket of water with caramel."

"Best hot pot around the area that's deliverable. Food is always so good and consistent. Packaging is always done well too, even for the hot pots and soups. Also highly recommend trying their Golden Soup Pot w/ Beef DELICIOUS!"
"Had a taste for Chinese food and Sautéed - Broccoli with Garlic 蒜炒芥蓝 - this dish didn't disappoint. Nice, light and garlicky. It also comes with rice. I wanted to try the Red Bean Bun 豆沙包 (3)because I had seen it in a cooking competition show. It's nice and sweet and interestingly enough, while I didn't intend to do that, it paired well with the broccoli (I had taken a bite of bun before eating a piece of broccoli. The Dan Dan Noodle 担担面was also something I wanted to try for the first time and it was quite tasty. It was a little lukewarm compared to the broccoli. Still, like I said, it was good. The portions were generous too. Oh and the noodles came with a side of rice too which was interesting. Anyhoo, I look forward to eating my leftovers tomorrow! Will definitely try them again!"

"This is by FAR the BEST ramen I've had. I ordered extra noodles to be safe, and only after receiving my order I realized I could've held off on it🤣. It had a few minutes to sit outside our hotel room because we my notis glitched, but it was fresh & hot as if it came right off the stove! 10/10. Definitely going to order the Spicy Miso Ramen again, and HIGHLY recommend if you're a ramen fan. The Level 3 spicy sauce is out of this world! Perfect level of heat to give the spicy ramen an extra kick! Will probably try the Level 5 spicy sauce next time😈"
"The flavor is extremely good. It's not overdone or underdone. It's just right. You're not burning your tongue either it's at a great temperature. I ordered the level 1 Spicy Miso Ramen and it was amazing. Third time ordering it. First time pick up order and it was just as good as when I dine in. I was able to eat it all by myself, the portion was enough for one person. You could tell it was made today. My favorite ramen place I would go again :)"
