This place surprised me, the food is pretty great. Â I ordered takeout, and arrived to find a huge line early on a Saturday afternoon. Â Once I got the food home I learned why. Â This is the best Chinese I've had in Phoenix for sure. Â Everything seemed quite fresh, and was closer to the type of Chinese food I am used to (coming from the Northeast). Â Not bad at all.
Review Source:DELIVERY IN OCOTILLO!!! Â ALAS, A BUSINESS GETS THAT I WANT FOOD BROUGHT TO ME!!!!
This place is quick, the food is predictable and good tasting. VERY large portions, I recommend splitting but the food does reheat very well.
We have had the lo mien, teriyaki chicken, beef and broccoli, crab wontons, egg rolls and spring rolls, sweet and sour chicken, ALL WONDERFUL!
They give you lots of sauce, which is awesome. They don't skimp!
Best of all, they are one of the only places around here who will deliver anything besides pizza!! Glad they left a menu on my door!
We have tried every Chinese delivery in Chander over the past few years and have found them all to be barely edible...and we aren't picky eaters. Honestly, fellow Yelpers, we even didn't like the one's you gave 4 stars. Where's the flavor? We tried Asian Grill delivery tonight - wonderful...delicious! We finally found excellent Chinese food delivery in Chandler!
Review Source:Family-owned, friendly, fast and great for takeout or delivery. We order-in from Asian Grill at least once a month, if not more, but have never actually dined at the restaurant, though the tables are often crowded, so our reliance on this great Chandler/Sun Lakes fave for takeout shouldn't stop you from dining in.
The very first time I walked in the restaurant to pick up a menu, a woman waiting in line for her pickup order went out of her way to tell me, "You have to try the hot-and-sour soup; it's the best ever!" That's pretty high praise, as I've eaten in Chinatown in both LA and New York. Turns out, her recommendation was spot-on, which explains why Asian Grill is selling it's amazing soup all year around... even in Arizona during the summer.
Our typical order includes the soup or the equally impressive tempura shrimp apetizer, which are huge (and soooo tasty), the cashew chicken dinner, and the House Special Lo Mein, which includes beef, shrimp and vegetables with wonderful noodles.
We live close, so we often pick up, but their delivery service is free and quick, too. Can't recommend them enough.
After reading all the other existing reviews for Asian Grill, I think I have a legit sense of understanding towards why this place gets 1-5 reviews (and everything in between).
Trust me when I say that Asian Grill is a great place for lunch on a weekday. Its not good for large groups, or bday parties, or dinner, or date nights or any of that crap. Its excellent for going outside the office for lunch, eating a good meal and then continuing with your work for the remaining of the day. Its not meant to be a dining experience; its meant to be a dining convenience.
And let me explain why: You come in, the menu is already at the counter, you select your combo (soup, lunch plate and a beverage for about $5.45) and pay up front. You fix your own drink, you find a seat, blink, and your plates come up pretty immediately after.
Unless you have super-powers at eating, you box up whatever you didn't finish and peace out - all in about 20mins or so (total in-out).
With this (hopefully new) perspective, let me justify my 4 stars for Asian Grill. Simply put: the food is plentiful and although a little greasy, great in flavor and quality. The staff is very friendly, the food comes out SUPER fast and the prices are extremely do-able for what you get. My beef dish was very tasty and the wanton soup was hot and flavorful. I won't go into an over-elaborate description of the food look and feel, because y'all know how standard american/Chinese food tastes like: better than Panda Express, worse than legit Chinese food. Done.
Was craving Chinese and relied on Yelp to point me here. A bit out of the way, but I figured I'd give it a shot. It's not like I have many great Chinese options nearby.
Looks like most of their traffic was take-out and delivery, place was empty on a Saturday night. It's a walk in, place your order at the counter and we'll bring it out when it's ready kind of restaurant.
Won Ton soup was good, as were the egg roll, crab rangoon and pot stickers. I'd rate them as average, nothing more but definitely not less.
Main dishes were honey chicken (son had them leave out the spice), Teriyaki Chicken (daughter wanted this with dark meat), Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken and shrimp.
I know the kids didn't really order Chinese, but they liked their meals and I thought they tasted fine for what they were. Kung Pao was good and the Mongolian was ok. A bit black peppery and sweet moreso than spicy.
Price was ok for what we ordered off the dinner menu and we did leave with leftovers.
All-in-all this was a Yelper disappointment for me as the place was rated as if it were a great place and it was merely ok. Â If I happened to be in the area I'd do lunch. If I lived nearby and wanted to order out, would do so. But won't specifically head here.
Ordered takeout on New Year's Eve for my wife and I and we both loved the food. We ordered two meals and that was more than enough for the two of us and we had some left over for the next day. The vegetable lo mein was delicious and the orange chicken tasted extremely fresh. The staff was extremely friendly and delivered great service. We will definitely be going back.
Review Source:OMG! Best crab rangoons i have ever had. I am from Chicago and i was visiting my mom. She recommended the place and i was thoroughly impressed. In Chicago when you get crab rangoon there is like one squirt of filling and the rest is the fried dough. Here they are filled to the max and utterly delish! The veggie lo mein was pretty good.
Service was fast and friendly.
When it comes to quality, affordable asian cuisine...you should always think of 2 words...Asian Grill! This family owned restraunt has amazing service! Ivy the daughter is the best! She knows what it means to provide outstanding customer service and will even remember your name when you return.
Their impressive lunch special Monday- Saturdays from 11-3, where you get an entree, egg roll, fried rice, wonton and choice of either egg drop or hot and sour soup all for around $5.50~!! It will leave you quite satisfied and full!
No MSG! And they only use white meat chicken!
Their hot n sour soup is phenomenal! A small is plentiful, a large is enough to share with at least 3 people!
The entree portions are HUGE and are carefully prepared to your liking!! They will even customize it for you. Enough to take home for leftovers.
Take the time to enjoy some of the best Asian food out in the Chandler/SunLakes area..they even deliver! Â Tell them Bob sent you!
Yeah, I know. Â Sun Lakes? Â
Being that I work relatively close to this area, I'm no stranger to the lunch menu at Asian Grill. Â My 'ol standby is the Spicy Honey Chicken. Â Sesame Chicken is good as is General Tso. Â Is that the trifecta of standard Americanized Chinese chicken dishes? Â If so, these guys are cranking these items out perfectly.
It's good to note, and they do so on the menu, that Asian Grill only uses white meat when it comes to chicken. Â No mysterious dark parts. Â For some reason, I find this reassuring.
Lunch specials will run you about $6 plus a cup of hot tea for fifty cents or so. Â It's not spendy at all. Â
I'd agree with the only other person who reviewed this place that the hot and sour soup is truly wonderful.
Small place, somewhat cramped seating but it's rarely over capacity when I visit. Â It's a good place to not be seen if your operating on the down low. Â Very incognito. Â On top of that it's right next to a Bashas' so you can pick up whatever you need, if you need whatever. Â Ha.
