"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."

"After I had eaten at this place for over 3 years, I called one night to give a job. a few minutes after I was told, my order would be ready in 15 to 20 minutes, the phone ringed and a woman who had hardly spoken English began to speak gibberish. I asked her to slow down because I couldn't find out what she said. She said she wanted my credit card number. I asked her who she was, and only then did she tell me where she called. I told her I wouldn't give my credit card over the phone because I didn't have a way to know who she was. she said my order was too big and I had to pay. she said the manager said commanding over $50.00 had to pay, my order was $48.00 I told her then, I would give her the last 4 on the card, my sonny names and ID number, my address, and she had my name and phone number already. she said okay and I gave her the information. now I live 15 miles from Lin’s, so it takes 20 minutes to get there and with the phone call length we would be at about 30 minutes. my son called me about 20 minutes later and said our food was not ready and they told him to wait for the bar. He called me to tell me about the delay, and I called lins to find out why. I was told that they didn't start cooking my food until it was paid, although I was told two times it would be 15 to 20 minutes. I told them to cancel my transaction and send the reception that shows it was canceled. my son went on the way to another buffet and got our dinner. eating was better and we have almost $15.00 from now on we will eat; asian buffet 8345 rogers avenue fort smith, ar 72903-5236 massard crossings (479) 478-8886"
