Beware, Too Good To Go Users! [Update] (As a rebuttal to the reply I received I want to say, there was at least 14 options available when I came. The guy who made my platter chose what was in the picture instead of choosing good that wasn't dry or mushy from sitting too long. He intentionally gave me that mushy rice, mushy pasta, and dry chicken instead of the better looking options. Presumably customers coming to pay full-price will have better options. My platter still was not $30 worth of food. I actually have irritation in my throat from eating this stuff. And he had zero excuse on why he couldn't put gloves on! A majority of your food is either thrown out, reused for the next day.) I ate here so other people who are considering it can save their money and time, or risk their health! On a whim, i decided to stop here for their 10:30pm Too Good To Go order. The guy who made the platter came from the back, asked to see my app, and grabbed a container while touching the inside of the container without gloves! Their was a contractor doing some drilling during this by food and the food was not covered. The food this guy chose to put in my platter was salmon (the only good item), a extremely dry piece of roasted chicken breast, very mushy rice that tasted like it was out of a box with water added to it, very mushy lo mein type of noodles, and some dry pieces of chicken bites with a sweet sauce on it. The food was hot accept for the mushy noodles, but nothing tasted good except for the salmon which was freshly cooked. The guy seemingly chose the worst items that were left to give to me but everything except for the fish should be thrown out back for the wild life to eat. I paid $10 for a platter that was supposed to be worth $30 but thankfully that is all I lost because the food is not good and I don't believe it's safe. The fact this guy did not use gloves or sanitize his hands before making the food is disgusting! And the contractor drilling around uncovered food is another risk. The selections they had here was very limited too. I will not be coming back as their are many better options available that are safer too. You can only expect they don't take hygiene seriously in the back if this is how they behaved in the dining room. I'll add that no one else was there either.
