Good Friends

My family and I ordered delivery to our hotel. They don’t charge an extra delivery fee, which was nice, and I still made sure to tip. You can either pay with cash upon delivery or use a credit card over the phone beforehand, which is convenient. We ordered several dishes: wonton soup with roast pork, special hot and sour soup, Szechuan chicken, lobster fried rice, and sweet and sour shrimp. Unfortunately, the only dish that was just okay was the lobster fried rice—and that’s mainly because fried rice is hard to mess up. The rest of the food was very bland. The hot and sour soup had almost no flavor, and the Szechuan chicken, which was supposed to be spicy, wasn’t spicy at all. It was heavily battered with too much flour and came with a large amount of broccoli, which threw off the balance of the dish. Delivery took about an hour, which was slightly longer than the estimated 45 minutes, but not unreasonable. However, the overall quality of the food was very disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend it.

I got delivery to my semi.. Food was Delicious and Egg drop soup warmed my soul. Definitely would order again if in area again.

Made the mistake of ordering here after seeing their menu in my hotel. I will say, the delivery was fast. However, the food was very disappointing. My tofu dish was just ok, but my friend’s chow fun was immensely bland with no flavor whatsoever. Dumplings tasted like dishwater. If you are staying at a newark airport hotel, it would probably take 5 min of google searching to find a better spot than this one.

Terrible service, even worse food. Save your money and go somewhere else. We waited over an hour for 2 regular standard meals. Delivery was way late, then when driver arrived, he awkwardly stood back from the door, not handing the food over and asked me to call the restaurant a third time to pay. I was on the phone twice before with them and they never mentioned payment was needed by phone. The restaurant didn’t answer so I tried calling again, a FOURTH time and was able to pay, awkwardly reading my card number aloud to someone on the phone as the delivery guy watched. Traveling all day, we hadn’t eaten in 14 hours. Finally, at least, some food. Except it was the most disgusting, bland, just plan bad Asian food I’ve ever tasted, I’ve eaten a lot. The rice tasted like cardboard and the pineappple chicken was soooo soggy, absolutely drowned in a thick syrupy yellow tasteless sauce. There was so much it spilled out over the dish and all over the entire bag & rest of the order. The chicken was just mushy, the white rice had more texture than the meat. I barely stomached some of it down. I’m not a picky eater really, it was just gross. I tried to eat it anyways, gagged, and spit it ba

Despite many horrible reviews, my experience was great. I ordered because of the brochure left at my hotel, and then went to Google maps to read the reviews. I would never have ordered from this place if I had seen the overwhelming majority of negative reviews, I figured my money was lost, I'd wait 2 hours for the good, which would be wretched when/if it ever turned up. HOWEVER....my experience was completely contrary to the reviews. The driver called 21 minutes after I placed my order to say he was arriving at the hotel. As someone who grew up in Hunan province, I have to say, the food wasn't as spicy as genuine Hunan food, but the flavors did evoke memories of authentic, ChangSha cuisine. I'd order from these guys again, although there's no way to know if I simply had an isolated great experience. Unfortunately, a few bad service incidents can ruin a business reputation. No way to know why all the negative reviews have piled up as they have....but I'd roll the dice again on these guys. They came thru solidly.....in my case.
