We went for lunch and they gave me a dinner size. They weren't busy and the tables were dirty. The only 2 booths had employees sitting at them. The food wasn't good chicken was rubbery. They have tubs of something right by the cash register. Wound up throwing 99%of my food away.

Service is fast and friendly but the food is very bland and unappetizing. I've been here a few times and have always been disappointed.Portions are insanely large and wasteful.In my most recent visit, I found bits of plastic film in the food. I do not recommend visiting this restaurant. There are much better options close by

They give a lot of food with the hibachi. The person at the cashier was friendly and helpful. My daughter liked the bubble tea. It had popping bubbles with mango flavoring. Very clean lobby and restrooms. They have outdoor seating and a drive-thru. You can order ahead and pick up later.

Yeah, so we love Asia cafe and thought, heck yeah when we saw this place. However, it was a bit of a let down. Veggies over cooked, SALTY fried rice, and chicken tasted pre cooked. The only reason I put down 3 stars was that the soup and appetizers were still really good. I hope they can improve or I'll just have to keep making the drive to the main restaurant.

Good food with large portions. Will definitely go back.

Generous portion, great shrimp. The steak has a different seasoning to it but I like it. I saw people rating low because of the chicken but it’s actually very good. The veggies are good, I loved the mushrooms.The yum yum sauce has a tang to it.I’ll definitely come back.

The staff was INCREDIBLY FRIENDLY. theyseemed as they were enthusiastic to do their jobs, keeping the place clean, making the food fast and taking orders with the probably the most enthusiasm I have ever seen. However the food here is fairly average. Hopefully they improve some of their recipes because nothing stood out to me enough to really want to come back the next time I'm in town.

This place makes me think of panda express, so that is the comparison I've decided to make. We got orange chicken and hibachi vegetables. This ended up being two meals for two people, as the portions are significantly larger than panda's. I compared prices on the same day, as one might have noticed that the increase in the money supply has caused a rapid increase in cost of nearly everything (inflation). It is more expensive, but for the amount of food, this seems a slightly better deal. The vegetables were plain, but cooked properly and it was a nice dish. The carrots were a particular favorite. The orange chicken had a nice orange flavor and wasn't so super cloyingly sweet as panda's. The rice was properly cooked and good. The sauce they have is similar to, but not as flavorful as an aji amarillo sauce I've had from lima chicken, a Peruvian chicken place in Maryland. And it was fast and everyone there was friendly and helpful. I would go here rather than the panda.

Wow. Really terrible. I ordered the shrimp and steak. The steak was was little chunks that looked like they were dipped in corn starch and then dredged in lukewarm oil. No seasoning whatsoever. The shrimp was actually crispy and would have been good if it wasn't so salty. The rice was overcooked and mushy. The vegetables were mushy. I ate some of the rice and then I took it home and fed the $16 plate of food to my dogs.

I have been hearing so much about how good their food was so today I decided to try them and I must say it was hot, fresh and delicious! Their staff that was on duty was very welcoming and friendly. The inside was clean and organized. I tried their Joyba Bubble Tea Strawberry Lemonade and it was so good and refreshing. I will be returning very soon ?
