Yummy Box — Restaurant in Gilbert

Note that my visit was only a few days before they were temp closing May 23rd - June 23rd so it could be that they were not keeping as fresh of items in stock, but my visit was simply ok, with a boost to it due to the price being affordable for the amount of food. The quantity was there, so you can certainly get full off of one order.

All three chicken dishes were made with breaded white meat chicken, but I suspect that it was not frozen, pre-breaded chicken vs fresh breaded. Could this be because they were going to close for a month? Maybe. If I were to go again, I'd likely try out the Hainanese Chicken Rice because you really can't have that be pre-breaded and frozen.

We ordered General Tso's Chicken ($8.99), Kung Pow Chicken ($8.99), Orange Chicken ($8.99), and the Wonton Soup ($10.99).

General Tso's chicken was the best of the 3, having a few chilies and a decent flavor, although maybe a 1 out of 10 on the spiciness scale. It came with some simple fried rice w/ egg, although it wasn't very seasoned, so I recommend you take a packet of soy sauce.

The Orange Chicken was decent, but lacking in flavor vs the General Tso's. Due to the pre-breading of the chicken, there was simply too much breading to deal with the amount of sauce. Panda Express has a much better Orange Chicken, if I were to compare the quality/price. If you've had Trader Joe's frozen Orange Chicken and liked it, you're better off having that.

The Kung Pow Chicken was the worst offender. The menu claims it is sauteed, but mine was more of the same frozen pre-battered chicken with a kung pow sauce. When I asked about it after receiving it, they told me that they needed to change their menu, and they could remake it the way 99% of Chinese restaurants do, but considering it takes 15-20 minutes to cook (likely because they are deep frying frozen chicken), I declined. I would 100% not recommend this dish.

The Wonton Soup had around 5-6 large wontons filled primarily with a mixture of shrimp, so if you like shrimp, you'll likely find this appealing. It reminded me of a Har Gow dim sum. They also load up the bowl with a lot of thin noodles, and a piece of bok choy to make it more of a mid-sized meal. The broth was excellent.

Service-wise, it was typical family owned Chinese, so middle of the road. Friendly enough, but not 100% on the ball w/ answers or pre-emptively solving small problems or asks. You can't really complain, but it wasn't anything noteworthy either. The owner came out at the end and had a better sense of customer service, but it was dealing with to-go boxing and bags. Nice dude.

Atmosphere-wise, it was again, typical strip mall Chinese, there were soy sauce bottles and packets of condiments, but the bottles were sticky and nearly empty. Again, for the price and level of the place there were no complaints, but it wasn't anything to brag about either.

Short of it is, if you're looking for a cheap meal that tastes decent, sure, give this a try. You could get a meal for about 11 bucks after tax. Try the General Tso's. Avoid the Kung Pow made with fried chicken. If you're looking for authentic Chinese, perhaps the Hainanese Chicken is authentic, but I question some of the community saying the...

I don't know how this place isn't popular yet. Their prices are cheap for the quality of food offered. How do they even make a profit???

Hainan chicken 5/5. The Hainan chicken for $10 come with chicken-soup-cooked rice and 1/4 of a chicken. The chicken is tender and juicy like free range chicken. I think that's what they use. The ginger fish sauce is also so authentic. I can't believe that the price is that cheap!

Hot sour soup 5/5 isn't too hot. But they give you a side of chilly sauce. I added just a bit and the soup turned spicy. The soup was served steamy hot. There are shrimp and beef in the soup. The crunch of whatever the crunch vegetables are and the mushroom provide such intricate texture that isn't just ordinary watery soup.

Chow fun - the chow fun portion is huge! The chewy rice noodles with flavorful and tender beef slices provide such authentic chow fun. I'm surprised that despite all menu is in English, and the place looks like it is one of the Asian fusion, many of its dishes are so authentic!

Orange chicken and fried rice 5/5 here comes an Asian fusion dish. The orange chicken comes out steamy hot. The chicken is crispy and citrusy. The fried rice's texture is dry, grains don't stick together! The fried rice is amazing for such low key dish.

Overall experience with food is unforgettable. I have come here many times. It has been opened for a while maybe 3 years and I am sad there aren't many reviews about the place.

Service can be slow and not the best due to its casualness but since it's a family restaurant where the dad is the cook and his kids work in the front, it can be forgivable. They mostly use disposable plates to serve. I have seen the kids work when they were tiny in middle school. Now I come back and they...

I am very disappointed. I tried to call the location first to place my pick up order and was asked if I was Chinese or Vietnamese. When I said no I was told, " no, we don't serve that" and was hung up on. I assumed it was a communication issue, so I placed my order online instead. I received an email saying it was in process so I waited a few minutes then drove to the location. When I arrived and said I was there for pick up, the woman said, "No. We didn't get any calls". I explained that I had tried to call but it was easier to order online. She said she didn't receive any orders. I showed her the order confirmation on my phone thinking maybe it was in process or wasn't started by mistake. She looked at it and said "No." She pointed to the people eating at tables and said, "only this, no orders." I thought she meant dine in only, so I asked if I would be refunded for the charged food that I wouldn't be receiving. She said, "No. You call him." I tried once more to show her the charge on my screen and asked if I could please get a refund. She told me to "call him" again and waived me away and said, "Sorry. Goodbye." I left and was hoping that it wasn't actually changed, but I checked my bank when I got home and it shows the charge pending on my card which means it was charged. I will be contacting the bank to dispute the charge and never ordering from this location again. It wouldn't have taken much for her to try and make it right or get someone else to help keep my business. Fortunately, Orient Grill was amazing and...
