  This is my first one star review. My order is half uneaten on the kitchen table right now. I got two orders, one orange chicken and one mongolian beef; $15, so not too bad. But it was! I should have known when I saw the chef cooking a ton of battered chicken, and putting right into the fridge once it was done. That might explain why the bread and chicken did not stick together as I put my fork through it. It was literally square pieces of chicken inside a big blob of breaded orange goop. The beef was a little bit better, but too rubber-like, and the onions tasted old. I miss Tasty House!!! Besides chicken from jewel and big boys, tasty house was a staple for lunch in high school. You future generations of Lane Tech kids will never know the pleasures of Tasty House...or BeBoBa.

  Though this place is new, I've already ordered from them twice. I have mixed feelings about it, but it's cheap and it's close, so I'll probably continue ordering from them.
  
  I really like that their "dinners" come with a ton of food - soup, main dish, fried rice, and an egg roll, all for less than $7. It's easily 2 meals for me.
  
  The dishes themselves are not the best I've had. So far, I've had the orange chicken and the kung pao chicken. The orange chicken was just OK, and the kung pao chicken seriously lacked some spice. The fried rice wasn't too flavorful either. I had to add soy sauce just to make it taste like something.
  
  The soups are really good though. My favorite is the simple egg drop, but my husband has had both the sweet and sour soup and the wonton soup and said both were food too. The egg rolls are cooked well, not too soggy or anything, and not too greasy.
  
  I'd go back for the large portions and great value, but only on nights when I'm feeling extra lazy and don't want to go too far for food.
