    After we recently found the Crave Delivery app we wanted to try different options and Asian fusion…read moreof course was one of the first to catch our eye. The wife and I are HUGE fans of Asian fusion from living in Seattle and spending lots of time up and down the west coast. We tried the dinner for two which came with an awesome assortment of options. The rice noodles with shrimp was delicious, the firecracker chicken is one of my absolute favorites, and the chicken lettuce cups were so good. I also good not resist trying an order of the pork spareribs and they did not disappoint. The only dish I was not a fan of was the shrimp fried rice, recommend going with the Panang rice noodles with shrimp instead. In all this is some of the best asian fusion food we have found in Boise since moving here from west coast.

    Betelnut Boise is not a local owner restaurant or even a chain restaurant with storefront. It is a…read morechain concept using Crave! Delivery (ordered via Crave!'s app) ghost kitchen for food prep and, like the roughly 12 other chains having food made in Crave!'s ghost kitchens, can either be picked up by driving to the big facility or, and this is Crave!'s ace-in-the-hole, delivered by Crave!'s own team of drivers using Crave! vehicles. In a current promo piece the Betelnut owners (currently include Scott Crawford, I think, who heads another chain enterprise being prepped and distributed via Crave! ghost) say they chose Crave! as partner because of the delivery done directly by them. Perhaps they should have paid more attention to whether the people in Crave!'s ghost kitchens under the big facility roof can actually cook good dishes from Betelnut's cook-kits. Because as a three time customer of Crave! I can say two of those three times included food that was inedible to the point of being tossed out. And some of their creation of Betelnut dishes was really disappointing. Delivery = A-. Would be A but on one of those three times the delivery was overlooked and arrived 45 minutes late. Still everyone gets a dropped ball chance and the other two times all A for Delivery for the friendly drivers. Packaging is great too so thumbs up there. See photo: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/crave-delivery-meridian-2?select=v_8vZalNQ9JrTsxK-1WRgg Food = C-. IF Betelnut really chose Crave! for the delivery component then I'll share with them as a consumer that there is not much value in good delivery of poor quality food. Which might not be as damned frustrating for folks who don't know the back story for Betelnut. It was not, as I think some of the promo material says, created by the incomparable Madame Cecelia Chiang, who died this year (2020) at 100 years of age and who in her young years introduce Mandarin food in the US when she opened a restaurant in SF. She introduced a lot of influential American Chef's, like Alice Waters, Jeremiah Tower (I worked in SF in his day at STARS) and James Beard to the nuances of Chinese regional cuisine. Also the guy who would go on to open Betelnut in SF was inspired by her dishes and it its' day when Chef Alex Ong was in the kitchen Betelnut was delightful. He left, it went down hill and closed in about 2015 after being panned by critics and waning popularity with diners. Now resurrected in the form of Betelnut chain made in ghost kitchen for delivery, some of the menu item names from the old Betelnut are in place. But the quality of food definitely is not. Not that all has been terrible but some are not good and consistency of food of all kinds out of Crave! kitchen has been a failure across the lines ordered so far. Of all of them, the one I most hoped would work would be Betelnut. A loved one resurrected. Alas, not so much.

    We did not find our Zen at Zao and to make matters worse we did find our bowls not hot or with any…read moreflavors. We ordered three bowls. Two with chicken, not pictured, and one with tofu All three of us decided on the Yakisoba noodles even though it's an additional $1.95 each. The bowls are not packed and it appears that there is a tight control on portions I had to beg for more chili lemongrass sauce and sambas chili. After hunting for plastic ware and bathroom style napkins - from one dispenser for the whole establishment, we started to eat and none of our bowls were hot or warm. The sauces extinguish whatever mildly warm temperature was provided in the noodles, rice and protein. Recommendation - Get your sauces on the side and ask for lid even if you're dining in. For three of us, it was $43.00 I wish them all the luck for the future. Our Zen is found with some Madness. Our bowls there have always been hot, freshly prepared, packed with flavors and served to us at our table.

The workers are so helpful so you shouldn't have an issue when ordering. If you're uncertain of a meat...you can sample it. The flavors were great. Husband had the Kung Pao Chicken with noodles. I had the chicken bowl with noodles and teriyaki sauce. Our little had the kids bowl: white rice and steak. All were delicious. Not that much seating space so be prepared to sit outside if necessary.
