  My review of the Spicy Chicken with Peanuts lunch special:
  
  Checking their website, the Engrish had me hesitant to test it out. So I just drove there and placed my order. The lady taking the order was very nice. For about $8.50, I received the above dish, egg roll, veggie fried rice, a hot & sour soup, and a pop (Coke | Diet Coke | Sprite). The dining area is nice but very small, so I wouldn't plan on dining in, but my order was ready in less than 5 minutes (this was around 2:30pm).
  
  Opening up the small, shopping-bag-style brown paper bag, I pulled out the food, along with a bag of utensils/napkin/sauces/fortune cookie. The main dish came in a plastic container w/ clear lid, and is probably the same size as a normal small order. It was very tasty. The chicken had a crispy-but-soft texture, and the bell peppers crisp. Very tasty, but a bit greasier than I would have liked. The fried rice came in a separate origami-style container, again roughly small size. It was rather unremarkable, though I rarely eat the stuff. The hot & sour soup was average-to-good, but you get a whole pint (I think?), which is quite a bit. The egg roll (which looked like a fried spring roll) was tasty, but the sweet & sour sauce was delicious. It appears to be a house blend, coming in a sealable solo container, not the typical packet. The pop was cold.
  
  For the money, you really do get quite a bit of food. And that food, outside of the fried rice, was above average. If it matters, I see recycle logos on all the containers, so they're green, too. It's still fast food Chinese, so temper expectations, but I would return, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

  Horrible service. Didn't deliver when promised. Ordered food at 6:15pm and told we would receive within an hour. Food didn't come until 8pm after being told twice that food was 'on it's way'.
  Food was just OK, definitely not worth the wait.
