"Their honey walnut shrimp is marvelous! I'll never order shrimp any other way again. The shrimp tasted fresh and it "popped" sweetness when I bit it. The coating was tremendous - and even the tails were edible. The walnuts were lightly sugar coated and worked so well with the shrimp. The portion was large, about 20 shrimp. I loved the wontons too. The wraps were crunchy and brown. Perfect, and the filling was tasty. Unless you have to have sweet & sour sauce don't bother with it. The wontons are too good on their own."
"The food was cold and disgusting I paid $40 and received kid sized portions. The egg rolls were burned and dried up. The fried rice was cold. And the extra steak I paid for was all broccoli. The driver was awesome but Panda Express was horrible and I will never order from them again. "

"Wont be back. Fried chicken wings（6）Chicken was just fried . There was no flavor. Beef with Broccoli tasted also flavorless and broccoli tasted like it was added to beef after it was cooked. It's cheep very thin beef. And the Crab Meat Rangoon also had no flavor and wontons were rubbery. "

"This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. Always delicious and they go out of their way to make anything you want."
"Have always liked this restaurant ever since it opened but the sweet & sour shrimp had almost no shrimp and the breading was very greasy and way too much, a ridiculous amount. The sweet and sour "sauce" was orange sugar water and runny - could have used some cornstarch. Where was the tangy sour? The crab meat wontons were excellent and just a good amount of filling. Not greasy at all. I'll stick with all the mein fun and the shrimp and scallops."

"Ordered 1 Entree Dinner with orange chicken and crab ragoon and Kids' Cheeseburger. I was disappointed that it only comes with 1 crab ragoon and it had little filling to it. It was a little soggy from sitting in rice. The rest of the meal was great though. It comes with lots of orange chicken and tasted good! The kids cheeseburger was a great deal with everything that comes with it. I was pleasantly surpised the fruit cup was a decent size and came with variety of fruit. "
"Breakfast Burrito was fire! Side of potatos was burnt but could have been worse. Definitely good enough for the price."

"Red Ginger never disappoints! The Gyoza was excellent; it was not over or undercooked and tasted great. The Roast Pork Belly Ramen was cleverly packaged for transportation. The roast pork belly was delicious, and the broth was savory. I look forward to my next order!"
"Tried Red Ginger for a change since I usually go to Izumi and honestly, I wish I hadn’t cheated.
The “spicy” crab roll had less spice than a glass of milk. The Philadelphia roll? Mushy like it had a rough breakup and never recovered. California roll was the only one that showed up with a personality. I could actually taste the avocado. A small win.
And the soy sauce? So salty I felt like I was sipping ocean tears. Or something worse. I’ll let your imagination run with that.
Overall, Red Ginger’s portion sizes are normal, but would I order again? No."

"Fruits of the Sea at their Best! Fresh and sweet, the Sashimi Appetizer has everything a sashimi lover needs... in layman's terms, we have Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, and for dessert, White Tuna! They offer a dollop of wasabi and some pickled ginger on the side. It is nicely done."
"What an absolute delight for a Monday evening when making dinner seems like too much! This healthy, delicious meal comes with a selection of 16 fresh, succulent pieces of fish. Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, and White Tuna, which just happen to be my favorites! Served on a bed of fresh shredded radish, with pickled ginger and that perfect heat of wasabi, it is the best combination.
But... to make this meal perfection? Double Dash it with a HyVee order of Sake and mandarin oranges! You have the Japanese dining experience in your own home.
(Plus I earned a $10 off coupon from Formosa. See restaurant info for details)"

"Imagine panda but 10x better. The sauce is thick and flavorful, chicken is juicy yet also a little crunchy. Even tho it took about 20 minutes to get to my house the food was still so hot I had to let it cool down until I could eat it. Have never had better Chinese food yet alone from doordash. 10/10!! "
"I cant really expect much for a 10:30pm DoorDash but I WAS expecting more than 7.3 grams of chicken for a ~$20 meal. It wasn't a bad tasting meal by any means, but dawg, did the rest of the chicken jump out the box and run off or something? So tough. "
