Riceton - Don't wok this way.

Riceton, sounds like disgusting...okay, no it doesn't - BUT IT SHOULD.  For the past twelve (12) months, I have struggled to find a consistently delicious chinese food restaurant in the East Village.  I temporarily found one - Yummy House - but then Yummy House mysteriously closed down due to a "plumbing issue" and re-opened as a not so fresh and not so delicious joint venture with Plump Dumpling and so my search continued. 
A few weeks ago, I ordered from Riceton and it was good, nothing spectacular, but what I ordered tasted fresh.  On that night, I had the "Mixed Vegetables with Garlic Sauce" dinner special combination.  The delivery was fast and the portions were generous.  My co-diner had the "Sesame Chicken" dinner special combination and had a similar reaction - good food that tasted fresh. 
Fast forward to last night where it was decided that chinese food would be the meal of the evening.  Having had a good experience with Riceton, I decided that is where I would order from again.  I called Riceton and placed an order - Vegetable Lo Mein and Vegetable Fried Rice.  Since it was nice out, I decided I would go pick it up.  I arrived at Riceton and told them I was there to pick up my order.  The individual behind the counter told me it would be just a few minutes.  Now, if you have been to Riceton then you know there is a salad bar type set up in the establishment.  Well, the man behind the counter started putting random vegetables into a bowl to create my fried rice.  He was putting the most random stuff into the bowl, but he is the wok-master not me, so I let it go.  Also, he was putting only about two pieces of each ingredient - I felt like I was at a Subway.  He then went in the back to wok it up and finished, as promised, a few minutes later.  I left with my fried rice and lo mein (the latter of which was ready when I got there). 
Upon opening the take out boxes, two things struck me: 1) There was barely any lo mein in the box; and 2) The rice looked white because he barely wok'ed it.  Unfortunately, not only was the rice white, but the random assortment of vegetables he put into the mixture were hard and not cooked either.  The green beans were crunchy, but not in a good way. The worst was the HUGE piece of whole fried egg in the rice, extra egg'y and not chopped one bit.  The lo mein was too soft and also cold.  All in all, I was truly bummed out by what seemed like a slightly promising chinese food establishment. Riceton - I was really pulling for you, but all bets are off and I don't think we will cross paths again.
