Fu Star

Stuck in the office today, I was trying to find a place that delivered.
I called Fu Star which is less than one mile from my office. The woman who answered the phone wanted my order.
I asked her if she delivered.
She asked for my order again.
So i asked again if she delivered.
She said «WHAT YOU WAN?»
I said «FOOD DELIVERED TO MY OFFICE»
I think the meaning finally weaseled it’s way into her noggin because she asked for my address. I gave it (Again, less than a mile away).
She goes. «Nope. Not today» and FRIGGING HUNG UP.
I wonder now if FU star means something else.

Was trying to drive to Lafayette for a talk tomorrow morning, but of course I became deathly ill a day ago and found myself stuck in Metairie traffic hacking my lungs out and desperately in need of soup. We’d gotten off the interstate, and then subsequently off Veterans, so by the time I realized our options were 1) find food, specifically soup or 2) I perish, Fu Star was the first place that appeared. So we tried it.
Actually, there’s a Subway next door, and I tried to go there first on the off chance that they might have soup. Occasionally this is something you can get at Subway. Alas, not at this one, not tonight.
So, moving on, we went to Fu Star and ordered Wonton Soup, Hot and Sour soup, some kind of chicken thing, some kind of rice thing, and eventually we ordered more soup. That last order of soup was supposed to be chicken and rice, but it looked more like chicken and dumplings. By the time we got it, though, I was kind of done with the whole food thing and didn’t look at it closely.
Yay! They had soup. By soup, of course, I mean warm, yellow, oily and slightly salty liquid. It did make me feel slightly better, though. After eating it, I no longer felt like a recently buried corpse coughing up lungfuls of inhaled earth, but rather like a zombie. Which is a step up, I suppose.
In general, I’m not a fan of Chinese food. At all. But it was an emergency AND I was stuck out in Metairie, plus it was cheap, so I really can’t complain. Thanks, Fu Star.
P. S. One final note… It was odd (to me) how busy this place was, since it’s tucked away in what seems to be a hidden strip-​mall type place. Not that it was packed, or even quite bustling, but it wasn’t entirely deserted, so my guess is that people who like Chinese food and live or work in this particular corner of the ‘burbs probably kind of like this place. So it seems, at least.

I only had egg rolls and crab Rangoon, but both were very very good. I’m not sure where the greasy comment comes from as these two fried dishes were both yummy! Staff (owners?) were very nice and eager to please. I would recommend and curious to try more menu items. Friends say the ribs are excellent.

Super greasy Chinese food that makes you seriously question what they are cooking it with and what in the hell you are eating. The only thing I didn’t feel like a guinea pig while eating was the egg drop soup. hmmm.
I am not a Chinese fan so I really am bias. If I eat cuisine like this it has to be the healthier route like PF Chang’s or something.
The delivery is quick and SUPER cheap and if you have a hangover, this MAY work. MAY.
God speed.
