Crab Rotgoons My roommate and I ordered delivery for dinner tonight. Everything was hot and fresh and delicious and my roommate mentioned that the cream cheese in his crab rangoons tasted funny. I had not gotten to mine yet, which I am glad I didn't eat them first like I usually do because, I took one bite and had to rush to the bathroom. I do not have a weak stomach but curdled milk or soured cream cheese as it were, that will always, and did, make me violently ill. I have worked in the food service industry for long enough that, upon inspecting the soured wonton, I deduced that they had been prepared a day or two in advance. You can always tell when an egg roll shell with filling has been refrigerated, and kept at room temp and then refrigerated again because when you attempt to fry them, the wonton wrapper (already saturated with the liquid from the filling) stays greasy and won't crisp up. The chef clearly did not check to see if they were soured, nor did he care to take note of the unappealing greasy finished product. Unfortunately, the woman who answered the phone did not seem to care about the issue either. When I called the restaurant to tell them about this, and to warn them of the potential danger to people vis'a'vie food poisoning, the woman said, "cream cheese just tastes sour." I calmly explained to her that I have had their crab rangoons many times(and love them), and it doesn't take a chef to know when a dairy product has gone bad. She kept repeating herself insisting that that is just the way that they taste. I can walk to this restaurant in 20 minutes, we eat there and frequently order delivery and both of us have gotten an order of crab rangoons a piece, each and every single time for the past 5 years, and somehow all of the sudden their usually perfect crab rangoons have developed a "sour" taste? The woman(getting increasingly more defensive by the second) insisted if we didn't like them, we could bring them back to her for a refund. I explained that this was a delivery order and I do not drive, to which she responded she would have the driver come by sometime between tonight and tomorrow or the next day and that we had to be here to give him the rotten crab rangoons. At this point I had had quite enough of this woman's attitude and generally apathetic approach to a serious issue. I explained that I will be reporting this to the health department and will be happy to give them the rot-goons. She finally stated she would refund them and hung up on me. Sadly, I have to say I will never eat at or order from this restaurant again. Furthermore, I highly advise anyone who orders any fried filled product from this restaurant to check it before eating it, because clearly they don't care if they poison people!

I found a hair in my general tosos tofu. Sucks because the food is good but I'm not eating this now.

Great food at an unbelievably fast pick up speed and the most professional staff in the area. Very clean lobby with special attention to social distancing. Can't go wrong with this place.

Very warm and fresh. They get your meal ready in 10 min. It’s the best in Dunbar.
