This is a list of places we have ordered lunch from (or have discovered, and would like to order at some point). If you find more places, please add them to the list. If there's a mistake in the current list, correct it.

Notes:
  • Some of these places need orders to be places up to 2 days in advance.
  • Typically there are 8 people at lunch, including 2 vegetarians. We order food enough for 1 or 2 extra people.
    • Note: We have been getting additional 2 people recently.
  • You may order (non-alcoholic) drinks too.
  • Tipping 10% for a delivery is reasonable per Sue's standards.
  • Receipts to be submitted to Sue George for reimbursement. It's the same to her whether you submit a bunch at once or one at a time. She wants to see an itemized receipt and a method of payment.
  • While ordering, remember to give your phone number.
  • The address for delivery is: Room 359, Gates Computer Science Building, 353 Serra Mall, Stanford.

 

 

Past orders:

Lotus Thai Bistro 2013-02-28

 
Fresh rolls (vegetarian) - 1 platter
 
Stir-fried Mango with pork - Medium
Stir-fried Broccoli with fried tofu (vegetarian) - Medium
 
Panang Curry with Chicken - Medium
 
Jasmine / Brown Rice Tray - Half and Half

Since the order is above $100, I believe we will get free delivery (according to the information on your website).
 
Notes:
  1. In drinks, I didn't order Sprite, since we already have a couple left over from the previous lunches, so we can just use those.
  2. I had emailed them, but after not hearing back for a while, I called. Turns out that they don't check email very often. Its better to just place the order on phone.

Individual Kits (9):
2 x Banh Mi Five Spice Chicken
1 x Banh Mi Beef Shortribs

I believe this order should be just over $150 before tax, thereby not
incurring a delivery charge :) Can you deliver these to the Gates

noon on Thursday? My cell phone is XXX-XXX-XXXX. Please confirm.

Thanks,
Diego

We had a Pork Banh Mi and 3 sprites left over.

Ankita says she got too many uncooked vegetables in the tofu Banh Mi; she mightt have preferred a bowl. She says to stop ordering so many Sprites because only John likes them. Hmm.

One mistake was not specifying the breads. One box ended up with gluten-free bread, and that's just not pleasant.

We had one tomato and one turkey sandwich left over, and three waters and two sodas left over. So water is not very popular, but that's a pretty good order overall.
