"The cajun pasta was immaculate from the pasta itself to the sauce and the veggies everything was a 10/10. No utensils but I didn't specify so it's my fault. Also the garlic bread was the best i've EVER had."
"I asked for a well done Chili’s Secret Sauce Burger* and it was rare. I couldn't eat the burger from it not being cooked all the way so it was trashed. Fries I only got about 7 pieces that you could clearly see wasn't enough. I pay a lot of money when I order this just wasn't okay."

Rave Reviews
"The best Chinese Food on Door Dash in the Middletown area, period. We've tried them all, and Asian Restaurant is consistently the best. Their crab rangoons and white meat chicken dishes are crispy and delicious. The Szechuan Crispy Beef is phenomenal. can't recommend this place enough for Chinese takeout."
"Wow!!! Best vegan chinese food I've had in a really long time! Ordered the Vegetable Dumpling (6 pcs) and the Vegetarian General Tso's Chicken & definitely don't regret it (I'm really picky about my General Tso's as well!!) Came fresh & with a good portion! I used to really like ANOHO in Middletown (before they closed) and I think this is the closest I've had to their food. Will definitely be ordering again and making sure all my vegan friends give this place a try!"

"Bacon Mac and cheese was really good , like gooey cheesy good Ribs aren't super saucey and have a good dry rub you can taste The chicken breast wasn't overcooked, nice char that compliments that sweet Bbq sauce The Double Bleu Iceberg Wedge was just that, just enough dressing for the entire salad and a lot of that funky bleu The only thing I would say as something to think about- honey for that biscuit "
"French Onion Soup - CROCK was SUPER small for $11.39... it was basically a mini bowl. They should have given two for that price!!! Also, Macaroni & Cheese was very small as well. I understand it was a kids portion, but my 5 y.o. daughter was still hungry after eating that and some rice & a side salad.. but, she did say it tasted really good."

"burger was dry with no sauce. my wife and I thought this would be a slam dunk Sunday burger and it disappointed, incredibly. it also seemed like the burger patty was smaller than usual. Could be a price cutting measure by the restaurant. I'm quickly finding Sliders to be over priced and unsatisfying... Both in food preparation and value."

My gf loved her Coconut Shrimp (8 Pieces) and Chicken Satay (4 Pieces) too. For dessert we went with the Fried Banana with Honey and Mango Sticky Rice. Both on point and refreshing after dinner. Most certainly will be ordering again!"
"possibly the best Crab Rangoon (6 Pieces) ive ever had. the Thai Dumpling (6 Pieces) was really nice as well. the dipping sauces were perfect. each app was generously filled. their spice level is no joke. i put the spice level in the special instructions and they followed it and noted it on the packaging. the Pad Thai was really good and they added extra peanut by request and adjusted the spice. all the vegetables and proteins were very fresh and vibrant. the Drunken Noodle is my favorite dish and it did not disappoint. i would only suggest they remove the tails from the shrimp for the the portions are average for a thai restaurant i would say. their menu is more expansive in the restaurant. i would definitely recommend and order again."
