8. Lin's Garden
Reviewed By R H
I have eaten here several times before and have typically found their food to be good. However, this last time I was very disappointed. The pork fried rice was rather dry and didn't taste exactly like it should. Also, their boneless spare ribs came with almost no sauce on them. Furthermore, I would not suggest on planning to eat in. The sitting area is rather small (4 tables) and their kids and/or grandchildren had taken up two of those. It also appeared one of the workers was arguing with the kids as well, but since I cannot speak or understand Chinese, I don't know that for certain. My advice is to go somewhere else. You can do better than this place.

I always loved the white sauce they use with the seafood combination, now they have new chefs and the sauce I got today was TERRIBLE. I couldn't eat it. It tasted like dirty dishwater smells. The veggies were barely cooked, I would NOT RECOMMEND Asian Garden until they get their game back in order.

By the looks of this strip mall there is nothing inviting about it, but don't let that deter you from entering or you will miss an inexpensive Laotian foodie adventure. This is a BYOB and bare bones décor place but the food delivers. Curries are delicious and ample amount of jumbo shrimp in the shrimp green curry and a bargain at $13.98! Fried tofu with sweet chili sauce was fair to good. The ginger salad was very fresh as were the street noodles with chicken. The prices alone are enough to go back again but the food is by far the REAL reason to return. Didn't try the sushi and didn't look like any diners were eating it. Will return.

This restaurant in a strip mall has a small lunch buffet for a little over 7 bucks. This is not one of those mega buffet Chinese restaurants it is a rather small Chinese restaurant that seats maybe 50 or so. The buffet only has about 20-25 items but has both regular and spicy foods to choose from and chicken and beef entrees, steamed and fried rice, jello, three soups, one fruit, and one dessert. The also had crab Rangoon pot stickers and a few other items. Try their lemonade it is good.Overall food was good but they didn't keep the buffet stocked as well as they could so even though this review is 4 stars it really is 3 and a half. Wish Trip Advisor would allow half stars when you can't decide easily between one level and another.

This Cafe offers a variety of Thai dishes plus Hibachi. Lunch prices are very reasonable considering they include entree, drink and a side.The salad was nice but the dressing was a tad spicy. Ordered mixed vegetables with shrimp. They don't give you a real lot for example there was only four shrimp but it was very good and not overloaded with sauce like a lot of Thai restaurants. Service was excellent had a non-asian server. There also was one non-asian sushi chef for those who love sushi.Located in Gateway Commons but is not with the other restaurants in the shopping center.Folks are nice here but fair average lots of good Thai restaurants in Triangle.

The Shrimp Hibachi at Asuka is one of the best I've ever eaten. Not only were the shrimp good (although they still had the tails on) the sauce for the Hibachi was wonderful as was the shrimp sauce. The lunch portion size was rather small but was delicious. The salad that came with it had one of the best ginger sauces I've ever had also. The atmosphere is nice and the service was attentive. Would recommend if you like Hibachi.

When asked where I would like to dine for our anniversary the only place I really wanted to go was back to the Asian Bistro in Wake Forest... So, many nice dining places are so impersonal... Asian Bistro is high quality, family and warm. I ordered the Salmon Sashimi Deluxe and my Hubby ordered the Salmon Special Sushi/Sashimi.. The lovely miso soup was a gift from the owners, the Asian salad was fresh and the ginger dressing perfect... A Sake for Hubby and a wine for me... How much better could it be? They have now even added a booth near the front of the restaurant.. That will be popular I am sure.

I normally save my 5 ratings for high-end gourmet formal dining, but this place is a solid recommendation for casual dining. It has a contemporary style and informal layout, with the dining room attached to the bar. This restaurant features not only Thai food but Japanese, including sushi and sashimi. The Drunken Noodle and Pad Thai were spot on, and the salmon and tuna were nice and fresh. Service was very pleasant, and we will be back again.
