"It 's meals like these that have me regretting my move to Peru... I used delivery.com on a Friday night to place and receive my order via delivery since Jing Jing Garden, surprisingly, does not deliver. Maybe it 's because I 'm a highfalutin city slicker in the eyes of some, but I have never before encountered a Chinese restaurant that did not deliver. I ordered Szechuan Bean Curd (tofu), which is normally my go-to, Vegetable Fried Rice, and two orders of Vegetable Spring Rolls. The tofu came with a pint of steamed white rice, and I found the chopsticks and soy sauce I requested in the bottom of the outer plastic bag. I appreciate that I got more soy sauce than the six packs I entered on my order form. I 'm not sure if the delivery.com prices are inflated compared to the actual restaurant, but in any case, the prices are alarmingly high, especially for what I received. I paid far less in Indy and Saint Louis for far, far better food. The large pieces of broccoli in the Veggie Fried Rice were a nice variation, but the quart I received at nearly $8 seemed much smaller than my favorite joint in Speedway. It was extremely bland and disappointing. The Spring Rolls, albeit not greasy, were dry and had a strange flavor with little on the inside. At nearly $5 for four small rolls, they were not worth adding to my order. While the Szechuan Bean Curd was the best of what I ordered, was colorful, and appeared to be appetizing, it really lacked any sort of spice or flavor. It actually had a strange taste unlike what I 've received every other time I 've ordered this dish elsewhere. I was happy to find some nice sized mushrooms hanging out in the bottom and liked the abundance of broccoli, but the carrots were undercooked. The foil container with a flimsy plastic lid, was leaking all over the bag before I even got it in the door. I 'm accustomed to plastic containers that stay sealed much better. The price was close to $10, and absolutely too high. I nearly tried the Hot and Sour soup, but now I 'm glad I didn 't buy anything more. I 'm guessing it would be subpar and possibly leaking from a foil container as well. As I said, I was happy to see all the soy sauce packets, but there isn 't enough soy sauce in the world to make these dishes taste any better. I have food in my belly after a long and trying day, but this was not the treat I was hoping for. Everything was edible at best. I 'm frustrated and dissatisfied at how little I enjoyed this meal. I really wanted to like it since there are so few food options in Peru, but I just can 't. Is disheartening how little variety there is here in town, and I 'm in disbelief that this restaurant is held in high regard by people I know. It looks like I 'll just be learning to make more of my favorite dishes myself. I really do prefer to cook my own meals, but I 'm sad there is nothing worth ordering when I 'm not up to the task. I can 't say I 'll be having Jing Jing ever again, even if the prices were to match the portions and flavor. I won 't say it was the worst Chinese I 've ever had, but it 's just not good. Add that to the astronomical cost and extra fees imposed my delivery.com , it was a sad experience all around."
