Tasty 68

The food here is really good. Sometimes the salt levels seems to vary (by chef, perhaps), but overall always pleasing to eat. The stand out dishes are the Cheng-du dishes (cheng-du chicken, cumin fish and cumin chicken, and chicken with scallions are the best on the menu). The prices have increased 30%+ over the past couple of years (way beyond inflation). I am hoping they plateau, as it is affecting how often we order. The main issue (why the rating is 4 stars) is that for delivery straight from the restaurant (not DoorDash or UberEats), there are A LOT of extra charges (a $20 order averages $4.15 in extra fees, including an "admin" fee, a bag fee that is 4x the amount of a Maryland bag charge, and one which is called a "driver fee"). However, the driver doesn't get that fee (the restaurant pockets it, as I was told by the driver) and so you are expected to tip 20% on top of the food cost and fees. On a $20 order, somehow you are expected to pay $28+. The restaurant really needs to drop the "driver fee" or give it to the driver.

A group of us really enjoyed every dish we ordered at this family style restaurant. One thing is always true that the food tastes a lot better when served right after done cooking and we had tried chicken, shrimp, beef, fish and vegetarian dishes. For large groups a rotating tray (lazy Susan) would be more convenient. The price is reasonable. Not a complain since it is quite understandable, but the portion could be more generous.
