Read moreI cannot tell you how many delivery orders I had from this place. There is also carryout, just never did. The same lady's voice. The same request for delivery. You get to know a person by their voice. When they're pressured. When you need to double-check to make sure everything is included. I always asked to make sure the rice was fresh, which it was.
