I ordered lunch for a large group during just before New Years. We had limited options at the time and the reviews seemed positive so we gave this a try. It was a great experience! The food was delivered at the promised time and was hot and fresh. I am very finicky about Chinese food, and tend not to eat it often in St. John's since I've had mixed experiences.
