We came for a take away order around 4:45pm on a Friday. We were informed the food would take an hour to make due to high volume take away orders during the dinner time frame. We ordered at 5pm approx time to get our order was told as 6pm. We actually received our ordered 5:30pm. We ordered the food to share with my wifey's brothers' family.
Service : 4/5
friendly staff, provided proper information about duration of wait time for orders.
Food : 3/5
We ordered : 2 orders of shrimp fried rice, 1 order of shrimp with mixed veggies & 1 order of lemon chicken sauce on the side. Now since I manage blood pressure and a heart issue I did request to omit soy sauce and oyster sauce in the dishes. Which they did accommodate. The shrimp fried rice tasted a bit rushed IMO. I felt the wok hei was not there. Also the the grains felt a bit on the hard side and the shrimp a tad over cooked. The shrimp and veggies dish was okay. Not enough shrimp tho, veggies were broccoli, bell papers, onions, mushrooms. As for the Lemon chicken wow umm, the lemon sauce was nice and tart. However, the chicken was super super dry, likely due to the use of chicken breast and the batter was way too much. The fried rice disappeared pretty fast, there were leftover veggies and lemon chicken however. Might just order the shrimp and broccoli on the next visit not the shrimp and mixed veggies, since the broccoli was the first veggie to be consumed.
Drinks : n/a
Value for Money Spent : 3/5
The lemon chicken came in a box not a plastic container, lemon sauce came in a resealable plastic container. The 2 shrimp fried rice and the shrimp and mixed veggies came in silver take away containers. I feel that portioning for the money spent more on the lower side of the scale. Especially for the shrimp and veggies being being $14.00. The Lemon chicken was okay priced at $13 for the portion sized received. The shrimp fried rice tho was fair priced not great for the portion size was received.
