An example of an negative review: Spice Island is popular among our hospital crew to order from for lunch in Oakland (via Wheel Deliver). I have never actually been in the restaurant, so my review will be based strictly on the food. I have had the pad thai and java fried rice from Spice Island, and both are just OK and forgettable. The biggest complaint I have with each dish I've had is that the quality of meat and seafood is not very good. The shrimp in my pad thai was strange tasting and tough and the meat I've had in other dishes was fatty. Another pet peeve of mine is the amount of grease and oil in the dishes. I expect a certain amount of oil, but this literally leaves puddles of the stuff at the bottom. Finally, each dish I've had is disappointingly flavorless. The portions are HUGE, but I'd rather pay for less food with more flavor. I have heard great things from friends about Spice Island, so I'd like to actually go to the restaurant to eat some time...but I think I'll be passing for lunch for now on.

An example of an negative review: Beer was fantastic! The music was so loud that I could not enjoy the conversation with my friends. I will not return as my idea of a pub is one where you talk, not shout at your friends. Makes it tough to enjoy the beer.

An example of an positive review: It was definitely time to write an update. They now serve Chow Fun and it's always fresh, never dry, and packed full of all of the essentials. Anyone who knows me knows that due to my childhood raised in NYC Chinatown, I base my dining scale on A) if a restaurant has chow fun, and B) how well prepared it is. It checks all the boxes. The other reason for the bump up of stars is their delivery. I have literally had delivery reach my office in fifteen minutes. Granted, that isn't the norm, but I've never had food delivered more than a half hour after I've ordered. Wonton soup, house chow fun, and singapore noodles. My favorites on the menu. Super cheap all around, especially their lunch specials. If you like a more Americanized Chinese dish - their House Chicken is actually really good. Not to jinx it, but I order from them probably once a week. They have yet to mess up my order, and they always deliver in a timely manner. Also - delivery is only a $12 minimum, which is on the lower end of minimums for delivery.

An example of an negative review: I am so sorry to have to do this, I do feel that if you can't say anything nice, ... well, you know ... so I don't. But this restaurant is awful, despite the fact that they just remodeled. I tried it a month ago because I wanted to try the 1/3 angus burger and see what that was all about. The burger was "okay", but it was almost necessary to run a gauntlet to get it. Right next to the front door, they had a full, full garbage can, and the stench was horrible - right next to the front door. And then, I kid you not, I had to walk through a swarm of flies on my way to the front counter. NOT appetizing. I mentioned this to friends who said call the health dept., but I'm not going to do that to someone unless I see poisoned people in the aisles, let someone else do it if they want. The reason I'm compelled to write is that I wanted to try another product (this is really close to my house), a chicken biscuit to compare to one I had in St. Louis to see if there were any decent biscuits here and McD's advertises this all the time - the biscuit was overcooked and horrible and the chicken was burnt. I wasn't going in after the first experience, but I figured the drive through would be okay. The first window where they take the money was "womanned" by what seemed to be the manager, she was beyond rude. The take out window girl was nicer, at least she smiled. There are a lot of nice nice people at McDonalds, and a few have better food, but not this one! Again, sorry...
