I know ginger beef is the worst one. Chicken and cashews is bad too apparently. I have done a hot pot but the raw egg dip kinda freaked me out.
What would you order if you got to someone's house and they had the chinese takeout menu on the table and said pick five dishes so we can eat during the Flames game.

Unfortunately, most of the time, Chinese restaurants which deliver, do not serve real Chinese food. Sad, but true.
Do you like fish? Order a Chinese-style steamed fish. It's my favourite dish, but I know that fish isn't for everyone.
Any braised dish would be good also... something like a braised pot of lamb? The pot usually comes with the meat, carrots, and potatoes. If lamb isn't your thing, you can also get braised beef brisket, or even chicken. Garlic steamed prawns are also good... it comes with a simple soya-sauce dipping sauce.
Vegetables are one of my favourites, and just a simple garlic stir-fried vegetable is very tasty to me. Watercress is good (but is not usually stir-fried)... Baby Bok Choy, Chinese Spinach, or Chinese lettuce ("Gai Lan") are all the usual vegetables which are stir-fried.
Another dish which I like alot is Eggplant with Fish. The eggplant is sliced into pieces, and each piece is sliced in the middle, and stuffed with a fish paste.
Make sure you order steamed rice, rather than fried rice.
