We tried the delivery-only restaurant that was started by one of New York's most influential chefs - here's what we thought

Ando's app is the only way you can order from the virtual restaurant.

As part of Ando's new promotion, it's giving out a free combo pack to those who want to try the new service (which, as of this week, no longer requires an invitation). This is what we ordered.

Other options include a fried chicken box, the Ernesto pork sandwich, and a vegetable banh mi. They range in price from $10 to $12.

Ando comes in a pretty typical paper take-out bag. It was sent via Uber Rush to our offices, significantly outside of Ando's typical tight delivery range just so we could try it. It came on time and was still relatively hot — a plus, especially considering it's not designed to travel that far.

The combo pack includes half of a cheesesteak sandwich, a Momofuku Milk bar cookie, and an orange soda.

The sandwich comes wrapped in a wax paper-like covering, keeping all of the good stuff firmly wrapped up inside. No leaking and no mess, but the sandwich was a little smushed.

And there it is, in all its overstuffed glory. It looks every bit the part of a cheesesteak. Keep in mind that, given Ando's launch promo, this was half of a typical serving size.

The sesame-seeded bread held up well, and it looked a lot like a sandwich you'd get at a restaurant.

One bite and ... yep, it's a cheesesteak. A very good cheesesteak, but a cheesesteak all the same. It's one of the better cheesesteaks I've had. The meat and cheese blends well, is delicious and flavorful, but has a certain balance. The flavors melt well in your mouth, but I suppose I expected a tad more pizzazz given the hype Momofuku restaurants have in New York City. The cherry peppers it came with were a nice touch.

Overall, a cheesesteak is a little heavy for lunch. But that didn't stop me from finishing two portions of it, which totaled a whole sandwich. It was good, but for $12 dollars, I'm not sure I would order it from Ando on a regular basis once it delivers in our area. I could definitely see myself ordering one of Ando's healthier options, however.
