Ugh. That's terrible to know. Luke's used to be excellent.

Someone here said there’s a place in Barrington that’s better.

The other thing was that our food was out in, like, three minutes. There was no way any of that was even partially prepared fresh.

I gotta say I actually like Luke's food. Coming from the west coast where you really don't get '80s style Chinese food anymore, it's nice to find places like that still exist around here. However, I agree that it is a bit odd how fast the food comes out. The last time we were there our entire table (4 people) was served in around 5 minutes and I was wondering how the hell they did it. There's like 200 items on that menu, are they all just sitting back there ready and waiting for someone to order?

Okay, maybe it’s just me. The food tasted pretty much how I remember Chinese food tasting when I was a kid. Maybe I’m a snob now.

I will say that their hot mustard is crazy good. If they bottled it, I would buy some.

But…yeah. How did they make that food so quickly?
