Technically, my order was a delivery. I picked it up and took it home, so it's delivery enough for this blog. Anyways, this blog is really about me reminding myself what I do and don't like about certain restaurants, so this is important.

I ordered a lunch order of General Tso's Chicken, and asked for it extra crispy as I always do. General Tso's can be the best thing on the menu or inedible jelly, it's totally the luck of the draw and the number one factor I use when judging a Chinese restaurant. Not, mind you, that their General Tso's is indicative of the rest of their menu. Quite a few restaurants have marvelous selections and have tacked on General Tso's as a necessary evil - something they aren't really invested in but know fat guys like me are sure to order.

For whatever reason, All Happy gave me some really awful General Tso's Chicken. Instead of extra crispy it was extra burned tasting, but STILL not crispy. It fell on the gelatin side of things, with the breading sliding off like a wet scab. The sauce was awful, too.

So that's it. If you are in the area, go across the street to the falafel cart or Grand Szechuan.
