Made In Asia

Finally a place I can go in Chesterfield and get some massaman curry. Instead of trekking to Henrico or Richmond, I can get my potato-y, spice-y, coconut milk-y, curry fix. The tofu was cooked perfectly and I loved that I could get a side of brown rice instead of white. This dish alone deserves a 5 star in my book.

I only took a star off for the sushi I got. I had the spicy salmon roll and it wasn't as spicy as I normally like, but had great texture. On a sad note: I found a scale, no big deal, just odd- that's why I didn't point it out to the server. Other than that, this is my new Thai, Asian-fusion place on this side of the river. I'm aiming to go back and try some of the small plates that caught my eye.

Seeing all the great reviews, we decided to go here for lunch on Father's Day. I don't know if my expectations were too high, but the food was a mixed back. The five spice calamari was excellent. However the Thai iced tea was pure sugar with little tea flavor. Even my teenage children could not stomach it. All four of our main dishes were also sickly sweet. Must have gotten a good deal on sugar that week. Thai dishes did not even have Thai basil. The main flavor seemed to be sugar.  We got the tempura cheesecake for dessert and that was quite good. If we had just gotten appetizer and dessert this place would have gotten good reviews. But the drinks and entrees left much to be desired.

Visited this restaurant with my Meetup group and we had a great time.  It's a quaint place with really good food.  I had the shrimp tempura, which wasn't the typical tempura.  It was really crunchy and had a sweet taste, but it was good.  I also had the Pad Thai which was great also.  Our server, Ryan, was very knowlegeable and accomodating.  He was able to recommend drink selection and was very prompt.  It was about 10 of us dining that night and everyone enjoyed their food, and stated they would return.  Typically, I go the PF Changs whenever I want some Asian food, but Made In Asia may be my new place.
