Asian Chao

Restaurant Review
Business must be tough at MOA. I cannot imagine having 3 competing asian businesses in such a small area all pushing the bourbon chicken. I ended up settling at this restaurant and had a okay meal. The portion size was okay with the price I paid and I did get the bourbon chicken which had a nice glaze along with the beef and broccoli. I can't say that this was a culinary adventure, but it function as a solid dinner meal for a hungry tourist.

Pro- variety of asian foods i.e. panda express like

Con- Food was average and based on the reviews it maybe hit or miss

Hidden deal- Stop by to sample some free bourbon chicken before deciding on where to eat dinner

Out of all the neighboring asian places ; I chose this one. They didn't even have the toothpick pushers and  I still wound up here. They were replenishing the serving bins with fresh stuff.. So I thought.

Ordered rice, bourbon chicken and chicken with mushrooms.

Rice is the typical fast food rice with a hint of brown. I had to douse it with the mustard packets for flavor.  The bourbon chicken was quite burnt and crunchy. The chicken with mushrooms and zucchini chunks was probably the best.

Service was friendly enough.

Fair for the price.

So I know, this is stupid... but I have to review it.
I paid $18 for 2 people to eat lunch here, and it was supposedly their cheap special... Well I can definitely believe they are cheap, but not when it comes to price.

First off, the Bourbon Chicken they are CONSTANTLY pushing here is bland, and cold. And I don't mean like refrigerator cold, I mean the slimy been out for a while with the burner shut off cold. It's nasty, and it made me LITERALLY throw up.

The orange chicken was far more orange than it was chicken... I don't know if people of the Orient would appreciate what they claim to be chicken but it is either cold, or literally just breading they call chicken.

Lomein is really hard to screw up... so I don't know how they managed, but even the lomein was bad. It was dry, crispy, and the veggies in it were a mess of salty undercooked nasty. Can't forget the wonton! Nothing but wonton wrapper, there wasn't a single ounce of cream cheese in ANY of the ones that we got. And the egg rolls were falling apart they were so oily, and had no flavor whatsoever besides remnants of the used oil flavor from their unclean deepfrier.

Hope you don't try to use the mall discount if you work there (which I do) because they won't give it to you even though they will tell you about it. I was super pissed to know that I paid that much money for something I ended up flushing about twenty minutes after consumption, but the manager was not only UNhelpful, but basically told me it was my fault that my stomache couldn't handle their undercooked disaster of a meal.

Sorry hunny, but I've had Chinese Food so fresh and well prepared that even you in your middle aged over weight whiteness trying to pass off frozen cook in a bag bullshit food as "fresh chinese" would make it look like top-ramen. Oh wait, Top-Ramen actually gets cooked properly.
