"always great! Szechuan chicken might be my new favorite. they rarely get an order wrong and I customize every time. they make it fast even when busy. not just the best Chinese in the immediate area, but some of the freshest and best in a 30 mile radius. I omitted mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and baby corn from my 92. Szechuan Chicken but I'm not sure the dish even comes with those. what was left aside from the chicken was Bell peppers, broccoli, carrot, onion, and celery. sauce is spicy with a touch of sweetness while still remaining savory. Also got the egg drop 19. Egg Drop Soup 蛋花汤 . you'll notice the 2 sizes are both a quart and the same price. I'm not sure why, but this error has been there for a while. It's decent egg drop but I highly recommend you add white pepper and scallions @home. Really enhances an already good soup. If you want salt, most people would add soy sauce. I like soy sauce but it changes the flavor profile of the soup too much for me. regular salt."
"My favorite place to get Chinese food. Everything is always good. Always made fresh. Owners are always accommodatable with any special requests. I always have enough leftovers to eat at another time. "

"I ordered 16pc tenders for work on my break...3 of the tenders was refried that's how dry those 3 tenders was and the rest of the tenders was small bite size not fresh at all and for them to be that price an that's the quality yall gave me unsatisfactory service and quality I was very disappointed will not order again"
"The commercials made this sound so good so I had to give it a shot. The sandwiches weren't half bad. The cajun fries were horrible though. Im a huge mashed potatoes & gravy fan. Got 2 large and it was a decent 1 1/2 cups worth with literally 1 tbs gravy for the whole thing! Not much flavor either. The mac n cheese HAD to be Stauffer's microwave m&c. which I like, but for the amount that you get and the price, no way. I think I will stick with the other chicken place."

"Everything was delicious!! The Lamb Curry and the Chicken Chowmein were perfect!!I love the sauce on the Goat Saag. I never had goat before so I gave it a try. It was a little to tough for me.

"36pc Nuggets were tiny cubes for $1/each- ridiculous, definitely a rip off. We ordered 2 Classic Chicken Sandwich and only received one, and the one we got was clearly rewarmed microwaved chicken. It was almost rubbery if you can imagine rubbery breading on chicken. The Secret Recipe Fries were good though! We'll never order KFC again. It's been years before this, we were so excited for those delicious looking Nuggets from the commercials. Such a let down."

"I ordered from here before and also think I reviewed before as well. The one thing I ordered that was different this time around was the CM7. Xoi Ga Lap Xuong. I never had anything like this before and thought it was so good. The sticky sweet rice had great texture and taste. The sausage was sweet as well and tasted great. The sweet flavors went well w/ the chicken and onions which I believe had a peppery seasoning to it. I added the egg which I thought was a great addition but it would have been good without it too. I really liked it and would definitely get it again sometime in the future. Tbh everything I have gotten here has been amazing!"
"Sprout is one of my favorites, and a really reliable go-to option. I'm never not in the mood for Sprout. You get just enough food if you're starving, or just enough to swap with a buddy if you want to try different things. It's also one of the few places with really good drinks (always better than whatever I already have at home!). I'm obsessed with their lime drinks and would literally buy them by the gallon (wink wink nudge nudge). Their nuoc cham also happens to be just to my personal taste. Everything is fresh and delicious and super satisfying whether it's summer or winter. if you ever visit in person, their staff is very very friendly."
