I absolutely agree the the food is bland and boring. They probably do alot of take-out because there are not many take-out choices in the area, and no other real chinese food options. I don't think Prior Lake "likes its food bland", I just think that us poor Prior Lakers don't have much choice. Personally, I will drive all the way up to the Richfield/Bloomington area from P.L. to go to 1st Wok. Now THAT'S chinese. Ask them for their spicy sauce, they'll bring you out a little container of some sort of spice that will have you leaving there knowing that if you really do want your food spicy - ya got it!
