Pros: cheap, quick delivery
Cons: cheap, fast food type chinese, got sick there once...
The Bottom Line: You decide if you can trust me, and take your own chances. But I won't be going back.

| nitesite's Full Review: Taipan Chainese Cuisine |
Close to where I work, we've ordered from these guys a lot. Cheap and quick delivery made it a good choice for a quick lunch.
But you're getting what you pay for.
The chicken in all the chicken dishes is the low quality gristly stuff, generally leaves much to be desired. The shrimp dishes a bit better, and I'd recommend you stick with those if you go there.
My favorite here is the Egg Foo Young, but order it without the sauce. Too salty and overpowering to enjoy too much.
The fried rice was average - too many peas and carrots for my tastes. HOWEVER -- the last time I joined in an order here, about halfway through the pork fried rice, I was suddenly ill. I'll spare you all the gory details (I'm sure you're glad.) but it wasn't pleasant. I could possibly chalk this up to something else, but another co-worker also felt sort of ill after also eating a fried rice dish that same day. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a coincidence.
I was sad to have this happen - a good Chinese delivery place is hard to find.
Some other folks I work with still order from there, and they don't really have any complaints other than the general lack of quality.
But if you're in this area, find the info for Kung Pao Bistro instead. A little more expensive, but way better quality and much yummier. After about 20 orders from there, no sickness either. :)
