Washington Heights, NYC
I ordered this item through Yelp Eat 24 and I was so happy that the delivery arrived within the allotted time. I wanted to try something new so I closed my eyes and picked something that sounded rather interesting. Let's start with the wontons. Initially I thought the wontons would come on top of the main dish however it came in separate container so it wasn't soggy by the time it was delivered..smart! Inside was a beef and scallion mixture while the outside was deliciously crispy. It comes with a sweet and sour dipping sauce.
The main dish at first reminded me of chicken broccoli..the "special brown sauce" tasted the exact same as their chicken broccoli dish with a few more ingredients added on such as chunky mushrooms, onions and shrimp. The vegetables were steamed and absorbed the brown sauce. I liked how they did have a lot of vegetables and they weren't overcooked where they looked like they were wilting. The shrimp on the other hand was questionable..it looked too big to be normal shrimp and it was overcooked.
I had asked to make the dish spicy however it didn't taste any different. Additionally, I always ask for 5 hot sauce packets in the Special Request section to see if they take into consideration of any special needs the end user may have however it never made it into the bag. Your delivery will come up duck and soy sauce with a crunchy fortune cookie.
Would I get the dish again? Nah, it was pretty disappointing. Thoughts about delivery? It seems if you're ordering a normal dish it'll come out fine. However if you're making any adjustments to your order, it's something that doesn't get across to the vendor. Welp, maybe next time.
