Asian Chao
A friend and I ate here about 18 months ago. We ate about 3-5 bites and threw out our expensive combos. I returned today (8/27/2023). I ordered two spring rolls. Instead I got two egg rolls. Decided not to make a fuss as they still had a line. Wrong decision. The outside of the egg rolls were overcooked...but the rest of the wrapper was doughy. Ate about 2 bites and tossed them. Not YUMMY.
I've been to the one in Greenwood and the one in Castleton. The one in Greenwood, thr food was really greasy. The one here wasn't. I don't know if it was because they just refilled the pan with what I ordered or because it's just better. The menu was hard to read because it kept flashing different pictures and combos, really pushing the 3 entree combo. My husband and I both got a 2 entree combo which was supposed to come with 2 entrees, a drink, and either fried rice, white rice, or noodles. My husband got white rice, bourbon chicken, and the spicy (thai?) chicken and white rice. I got bourbon chicken, crab rangoon, white rice, and a cup of water. I was having trouble understanding the first lady in line. I was asking if they had brown rice and she kept pointing to the fried rice and asking which rice. I was surprised to see their orange chicken and another entree (I don't remember which one) cost $.50 more to your meal. I was also disappointed that they still charged us for the full combo when my husband didn't get a drink. I asked for water for a drink and they gave me a kid's size cup. Even paying for the combo. They didn't give me a bottle of water, let alone an adult size cup of water. They also didn't have chopsticks which was disappointing since their white rice was actually sticky/perfect to eat like that! There were a few burned parts on my chicken and a few extra chewey pieces (ligaments I think). Crab rangoon was average but hot. Overall the food was slightly better than what I expected. Mine was hot, not as greasy as the Greenwood location, and the sticky rice was a nice surprise. Overall, it loses stars for the price/customer service, lack of entree choices, two rotating menu screens that often displayed the same 3 combo "deal," and added extra cost for the orange chicken. I consider it expensive because we could pay $20 or less for some authentic Japanese food close to the mall and it is much better than here. (We didn't go there because they were closed for a party the night we were in the area). It's medicore. Alright if you're hungry and still have shopping to do. Otherwise, for medicore I'd rather go eat at the Panda Express outside the mall where I have significantly more entree options.
