Ashia Authentic Chinese & Japanese Cuisine

Ordered chirashi sushi from them a few weeks ago that was slimy and cut, like, 1/2” thick. On top of that I’d ordered an alacart piece of mackerel sashimi that was dryed out and yellowed. Thing looked and smelt like a freeze dried cat treat. The whole dish was iffy. Decided tonight to give them another shot but only stuck to the Chinese food and everything was bland and undercooked. House lomein was basically just warm plain noodles with chicken shavings. Pepper steak is basically raw peppers and onions with unseasoned meat scraps thrown in. Peanut dumplings had burned peanuts and garlic all over it. Been ordering from these guys for nearly 10 years, but never again. Plenty of fish in the sea, and unfortunately Ashia ain’t it anymore.

I have been living in this area for more than 12 years now, noticed the place all the times, never ventured. Today 5/14/2022 decided to give it a try. Bad idea. Place is ok, large, great access, next to a huge apartment community, all is good but the food is BLAND. So far my worst chines take out food with regards to taste experience. Food is BLAND. House special fried rice:- Recommendation, only fit for people those can not stand the sight of a speck of pepper. Not only BLAND, no taste, meat was less, understandably due to inflation. Quantity was fair. At best AVOID Broccoli Chicken:- Recommendation, only fit for people those can not stand the sight of a speck of pepper. Not only BLAND, no taste, no flavor, no aroma. Quantity was fair. At best AVOID Chicken Dumplings: I never saw the shape like a fan, like in underdeveloped countries, children put a three fold paper fan and stick it to a stick with a pin, well odd shape aside, it was OK, (if you can not get dumplings right, you should be garbage removal business, not in Chinese food.) Lady was nice, service was quick. Price is very reasonable, (again in this inflationary period.) Neatly packed. But what is the use if the food is so BLAND and tasteless. This is my feedback, may be it will work for you as spices input is ZERO, not at all stopping you all from patronizing local business in these hard and challenging times.

Never eat here. In person or take out. The lady at the front or on the phone doesn't understand you. Or chooses to play stupid. She's completely aloof. Take out orders are wrong spice levels on the wrong dish. I picked up daughter from school and we picked up at take out but wanted to eat it there. The lady didn't understand what to do. She didn't even give us any table setting. She just said yeah you can eat here. Where is our real plate? or utensils? or chopsticks that were not plastic in the take out bag? I had to ask for every little thing. Water, napkins, a straw... Every little thing! She couldn't care less about her patrons. I won't be recommending this place to anyone.

I take out a Beef Teriyaki Bento Box tonight and have found that the Teriyaki Beef was dry and tough like chewing pieces of rubber but everything else is fine.

This is our second time coming to this establishment. We noticed their incredible fast and welcoming employees and the food never seems to disappoint. I will be coming back. You can get both Chinese and Japanese and both are well done. I love the light option to choose your veggies so you’re not just eating all the broccoli.
