"I just Love the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls! Sometimes there are in a serving but more fairly consistant. Its like eating a Sloppy Joes inside a rolled thin Spring Roll. Doesnt seem like it would be filling but it is. I think for the quality, it is worth the charge. I recommend it! I also get the Kids' Quesadilla which I have Chicken or Plain since there is so much cheese. Great finger food and no oil which is good. "
"I sure do like these Cheeseburger Spring Rolls and tonight's were no exception. Less Greasy and overfilled, they taste fresh and fill you up. I have ordered in the past and will continue to Think of Burger Bites or a less spicy Sloppy Joe's. The Kids' Quesadilla had a nice amount of Cheese and not greasy at all. I sometimes order with Chicken, just depends on how hungry they are. I would have provided pictures but we were so hungry by time we got the food, we got too busy!, lol. We had the easiest Desert of 3 scoops of Vanilla Bowl of Vanilla Ice Cream so 1 scoop each. You are given some wipped cream to top them off and boy were we satisfied. Problem were that the Utensils came unwrapped and I would not eat from them. I also noticed that with every meal, you are given 1 loaf of Italian Bread (was missing tonight and the wrapper was open, (Dasher must have been hungry, and a loaf of Black Bread (that's what I call it anyway). We give 5 Stars out of 5, and know we will be back for more."

"The Fried Chicken (sm) was well seasoned and the Chicken Soup (0, 0, 0) was very flavorful. I love that they actually follow note instructions (I asked for no dumplings in my soup and gravy on the rice). The portions are good and they make sure to staple the bag and your food container, its definitely reinsuring to know they make it very hard for someone to tamper with your food. "
"The oxtail was huge and kinda tough to me . No flavor at all , the rice and peas was not good either , I taste no flavor nor coconut milk . Stop buying lunch from here , only the cornmeal porridge I'll buy going forward."

"the food is always amazing from here. we were disappointed by the price of the corn bread based on the sizes of the pieces we received that we maybe a bite and a half but wow did it taste good"
"It was very tasty and they gave large portions. The macoroni was good, cheesy, and creamy, only con was it look like they used wheat noodles. The noodles had a brownish color, which was slightly off-putting visually, but still tasty and with a good cheesy flavor. The broccoli was excellent, crispy with a nice lemony flavor. The charred chicken was good, could've been better, it didn't taste fresh. Also, the food was lukewarm when it was delivered. The food was good overall. It could've been better if it had been hot, they used fresher chicken and used a different noodle for the macoroni. Additionally, it would've been nice if they used a tray with separate compartments instead of all the food in one bowl."
