She was incredibly kind and patient, even though she wasn't sure what had gone wrong. They refunded me and included a lovely note when I placed my reorder! The service is always fantastic. I'm really into the Mala Tang hot and spicy with veggies—it's absolutely delicious. And you can't go wrong with the popcorn chicken buns; they are simply amazing!
