What makes a good restaurant? The answer to this question should be settled in mind before people write reviews about restaurants. The dining experience I am about to tell you inspired and refreshed my definition of an extraordinary restaurant.
One of the standards existed in my mind before I try Golden Buddha is: good restaurants that do not do delivery. I have spent my entire freshmen year to find a decent Chinese delivery but cannot manage to do it. One of my friends told me "every restaurants do delivery can not be your targets." Giving his words another thought, I find it kind of reasonable. Cooking requires a lot of work and dedication. A very small detail can save or spoil completely your dishes considering raw material choosing, temperature, and even washing process. The cooking is also time consuming; some certain food needs a lot of time to cook and treated with tenderness and carefulness. Food delivery, on the other hand, requires speed, and the customers cannot eat it right after it's done. The flavor of the food will be affected negatively without doubt, and thus really good restaurants and chefs will never allow their food to be denounced especially because of delivery. Therefore, my friend's statement is true in some extent.
