They delivered MOLDY wraps to us with out Moo-Shoo Pork. Disgusting. When we called them to tell them they explained the wrappers were kept in the refrigerator so they couldn't be moldy. What? Mold can and does grow in any refrigerator. If they believe this, how are they handling the rest of their food? We will never order food from these people again. We threw out all the food they delivered because we were so grossed out. It's mediocre food at best, but MOLD is simply unacceptable.
