Review of Cia Mein Restaurant

Ordered here recently, and was a little disappoint...

Ordered here recently, and was a little disappointed. Took an hour to make, and wasn't ready on time. I took it home, only a few blocks away, and both the Ginger Beef and Beef & Broccoli were cold (despite hot tins). Also found the amount of Beef and Broccolli to be disappointing, there was only 2/3 as much as Ginger Beef, and it's mostly Broccolli. Very expensive Broccolli. Chow Mein was great, got lots of it, and nice and warm. They really packed the tin on it. Chicken Balls were also good. But when you spend $60 on take out, you expect that ALL the tins are full and ALL the food is warm. The Beef and Broccolli was good after I reheated it, but the Ginger Beef was one of my least favorite I've had. Also, very disappointed that we got no fortune cookies or chopsticks. Isn't that a Chinese restaurant staple? Being so close, I'd love to try these guys more, but can't justify paying $60 for half cold food when Pizza is next door, cheaper, and always near scalding.
