Happy Dragon

Well that was a bad first (and only) impression. Called in my order, said it'd be ready in 20 mins, about 26 mins later I show up. The lady at the counter was on a phone call to take info for a delivery. So I wait a bit, no big deal. Although she had to take the callers credit info and write down their number and expiration date and zip code to process their card, even though she ripped it up, I could've been nosy enough while she wrote it down to have copied the caller's info. But that's neither here nor there.

What was the problem was after she gets off the phone. She asks for my phone number and I'm assuming since I'm the only one there, the bag ready would be mine. Wrong. I tell her the meal numbers I ordered and then she tells me she just has to put it together. Ok, by this point 30 mins have gone by since placing the order, but I just want my lunch. She comes back with nothing. Asks my phone number again and proceeds to go in a different part in the back pretending to get my food. Returns with nothing again and asks what I ordered. I tell her again, the bag on counter she checks the receipt again, but it's not my number and the meals ordered, one of the two numbers were the same. Turns out the previous customer (who was already gone when I walked in) took my order. She should've said she gave her my order, so while she tells me this lady just left, lo and behold, said lady returns with my order. Gets her untouched by another person meal and leaves. The lady working there then proceeds to give me the bag that the customer just returned with. No apology, and hello, how do I know she didn't dig threw my food before she realized it wasn't hers. I think not. So with that, I left without the lunch.

Good, quick Chinese food.

Oh Fishers, WHEN will you get a decent Chinese place? We were so excited to receive Happy Dragon's grand opening menu in our mailbox, hoping this would be the one to fulfill our dreams of salty spicy goodness in little square boxes... Alas, the search continues. To their credit, they were friendly and prompt in delivery. Prices and selection were as you'd expect- nothing extraordinary, but the leftovers (and there were plenty) went straight to the trash. The orange chicken and szechuan shrimp were mediocre at best (that is, until I pulled a very long black hair out of mine...no kidding), but the "hot and sour" soup would have been better labeled "tepid and a little rancid", the crab rangoons were disappointing and the pork fried rice tasted, as my husband said, "a little plastic-y." Oh well- we're maintaining hope. In the meantime, there's plenty of great pizza places who deliver.
