Ya when it was in the corner of that abandoned plaza it was good and cheap. Now its small portions, more expensive, and the quality went down but its still decent. Another good one is Taste Good on Deleaware and Hertel. You actually have white meat chicken and not that strange grey. Haha ---

My asian roommate turned me onto it back in college. I loved it and always consistently good. Figured he was from NYC and if he found food in buffalo he said was good, it was pretty credible. Haha ---

Last time I ate at taste good, I got very sick and the eggroll tasted like the smell of garbage left in a hot garage… Needless to say I havent returned. ---

I live right around the corner by Taste Good and I eat there from time to time, but you are trying to compare an apple to an orange. Gin Gin offers more of a traditional menu, not American Chinese garbage. ---

I was just going off the OP of the typical General Tso’s selection from a menu and based it on that. I haven’t gotten anything beyond that at Taste Good but have tried a range of stuff at Gin Gin’s. ---

I dunno, we made the mistake of letting my roommate’s asian gf order gin gin shit for us once and just said “order some good stuff, we want to try something new.” We ended up with a bunch of shit that looked like trees and nasty meat that was half skin and fat and half bones. ---
