Extremely disappointed with the Gobi Manchurian from Monks.
I had ordered it for a dinner party, and it was a total letdown. The dish was overly salty, extremely dry, and lacked any whole pieces of gobi—just a crushed, messy mix. It was far from what a proper Manchurian should be. Will definitely not be ordering from Monks again.
