Takout dinner tonight from Joe's Noodle House -- which items will be good reheated 2 hours later?

[Anonymous]

I'm getting takeout at 4pm from Joe's Noodle House this afternoon for a special birthday dinner at 7pm, and want to choose that items will reheat well after a few hours. For example, I think the mapo tofu and cold cucumber salad will keep pretty well, but not the items that are best served immediately after cooking like scallion pancakes.

Any suggestions? Would the spicy and tasty tofu hold up? Chicken and eggplant with basil?

Thanks!

Yes and yes. We always order these and get quite a few meals out of them. I just make my own jasmine rice since I don't like theirs.

Re: the spicy/tasty tofu. HAve you tried the vegetarian version? Is it as good as the version made with pork? Thanks.

Yes! It's one of my favorite things there, and I'm not even a vegetarian! The string beans are great with or without pork too, and all reheat beautifully. I envy you and your guests!
