I was completely underwhelmed by my food from Jasmine Tea House last night. Everything tasted the same. The Kung Pao Meatless Chicken was not spicy at all, drenched in soy sauce, and had grody lil' unidentifiable things in it. The mu shu was a soggy mess. The other dish we got had large undercooked zuchini chunks.
I love Zante Pizza & Spicy Bite, but am I missing something? What other restaurants will deliver to Bernal that are worthwhile. Actually, what other ones should be avoided, while we're at it.

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Tue, July 18, 2006 - 7:46 AMMajor disappointment reading this post. Sorry to hear about your experience. Tell me this was a first and not a consistent problem for you!!! I'm veg and Jasmine Tea House is one of my favorites for all of their meatless options. I've had nothing but good food there! I love Eric's on 27th and Church, too, but they don't deliver. -

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Tue, July 18, 2006 - 2:13 PMI've had very good experiences with Jasmine Tea House. They've been very quick and reliable for delivery, with excellent food. The only negative experience I ever had with them was that once, they made a mistake on my order, which I discovered after the delivery. I called them and they said they would send over the missing item (which I had paid for), but they never did.
Otherwise, I've had delivery from them dozens of times, and always have had a good experience.
I also like Dusit, though I've usually eaten at the restaurant, rather than getting delivery. -

Tue, July 18, 2006 - 2:37 PMShiso has way better meatless options than Jasmine Tea House. Better tasting, anyway, and less greasy. -

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Tue, July 18, 2006 - 2:42 PMHmm, I would have to disagree that Shiso's vegetarian options are better than Shiso. Shiso is ok, but I was not that impressed. They don't have any "fake meat" like Jasmine either. It's difficult for any restaurant to top Jasmine's happy buddha. -

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Tue, July 18, 2006 - 3:12 PMThat was the 2nd time I had Jasmine, and I wasn't very impressed the first time either. Maybe next time I eat there, I will try to dine in and see if it's any better.
YES, Angkor Borei...how could I forget them. I adore everything about that place.
Shiso has lots of meatless options on their menu. They've got a whole section with 11 meat-free choices called "Vegetable, Tofu & Meatless Chicken." They also do a mixed vegetarian & meatless chicken clay pot ($7.95) I should compare their Kumg Pao meatless chicken and see how it stacks up! -

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Tue, July 18, 2006 - 3:15 PMOh, it looks like Shiso has made their menu more vegetarian friendly since I was there. -
-
Re: Best/Worst delivery
Tue, July 18, 2006 - 3:25 PMNow that I am looking at the Shiso menu, I am surprised myself...There are even more veggie options than I noticed before!
They have a "Shiso Special Vegetarian Salad" for $5.50, Portabella Mushroom with Meatless Chicken or Bean Cake chef special for $8.95, Monk's Delight (snow peas, bean curd, lotus root, baby corn and mushroom) for $7.95, veggie egg rolls, veggie pot stickers, veggie dumplings, and spinach tofu soup.
Does this place have any ambiance? I've never been inside. -

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Wed, July 19, 2006 - 12:49 AMI third Angor Borei been getting EXCELENT deliveries from them for many years.
"SAKE sushi" on mission delivers to Bernal. Good sushi and not too expensive.

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Wed, July 19, 2006 - 10:55 AMTim and I had delivery from Shiso last night.
Portabello mushroom with meatless chicken, meatless General Tso's chicken, and vegetarian chow mein.
Everything was good, but we both thought not as good as Jasmine.
Delivery was very prompt, and the cost was a little less than Jasmine.
We'll order from Shiso again, but it has not supplanted Jasmine as our mainstay.
The best General Tso's meatless chicken was from Royal Kitchen, the restaurant that preceded Jasmine in the same space.

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Wed, July 19, 2006 - 11:07 AMDon't bother with Jasmine's Kung Pao Tofu. It is one of the grossest meals I've ever had. Bleh! I think I even spotted a hunk of meat in it. Not that I could really identify anything -- it was all gray and greasy.

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Tue, July 25, 2006 - 9:40 AMThe same thing happened to me. They forgot to bring the rice, which is a pretty necessary item. They told me they'd send it out with the driver again, but it didn't arrive until two more calls and nearly an hour later. Each time I called, they said the driver had left or was about to leave. I won't ever order from them again. A mistake is one thing, but lying about delivering it later, while my dinner gets and cold and my stomach gets angrier, is pretty rotten. -

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Mon, January 8, 2007 - 11:59 PMlittle nepal on cortland delivers, and I love their food. We dig Angkor Borei as well. Used to love Zante indian pizza, but the last couple times it seemed a little... off, or something. -

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Tue, January 9, 2007 - 8:03 AMi like zante's too. it always impresses my friends from out of town when i order 'indian' pizza. and it's always been really tasty and quick delivery so far.

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Thu, March 8, 2007 - 1:26 AMi got zante's pizza - a very plain one - cheese, green pepper, and sausage. the crust was uninteresting. not much meat or peppers. boring is the best i could say for it. oh, and the delivery guy was really rude. i tipped him anyway. but i won't order from them again. they said 40 minutes and it was over an hour. -

Re: Best/Worst delivery
Thu, March 8, 2007 - 8:49 AMIf you are not getting the Indian Pizza, for local pizza you are better off ordering from Pizza Express, on Cortland.

i did try pizza express but was unimpressed. i had sausage and bell peppers. crust was boring, sauce bleh, sausage tasted like it had gone bad as well as peppers. gawd, it's enough to make you go corporate! -

Shiso

gyoza: great steamed dumplings with pork and veggies.
edamame: don't know they forgot it.
beef with asparagus: not great but edible. would not order again.
overall: i give it a 6 out of 10.
delivery was prompt and courteous.
