Asian Cafe

"Warning to all: We have ordered takeout many times. However last night after paying almost $70.00 for 4 orders of general tsos, a California roll and dumplings. We woke up with EXTREME STOMACH CRAMPS and have spent most of the morning in the bathroom. It didn’t look very fresh sadly this place has gone down hill drastically. We will never eat here again."

"Mediocre at best. Hibachi was not hibachi and so salty that we all just pushed our plates away and asked for the check. Gyoza & sushi was...ok but nothing to write home about. Typical Asian restaurant ambiance...zero. Prices are dirt cheap but I'd rather pay more for quality and cooked properly."

"This place exceeded expectations in every way. Delicious, perfectly cooked entrees, excellent timely service, friendly atmosphere. My husband and I split a Hibachi combo and it was better than most of the food I've had in Charlottesville restaurants. My son in law got sushi -- a whole plate there and one more to go. I don't know why we didn't try it sooner. Loved it."

"When it comes to anything Asian or Chinese cuisine, I am hesitant. Most people have their favorite places for specific dishes. I was very much surprised by the food considering my family and I don't live far but yet have tried this local restaurant. We normal go into Short Pump etc. This restaurant did not disappoint me. The food was amazing!!! Fresh, juicy, tender, cooked on point, and great proportions! My 9 month old who is just coming into foods was surprisingly eager to try it. The fried rice was cooked to precise, not crunchy nor too soft. My son ate half my rice which he had never had before and he absolutely hates foods that are crunchy, hard, or too soft/mushy. The stir fry like vegetables were not over cooked with that steam like crunchy taste. My son actually ate the carrots and wanted more. I tried the hibachi chicken/steak and the sauce wasn't overboard and it had a great taste. The soup was hot and delicious. The waitress even brought out yum yum sauce without me even asking for it! The waitress was very attentive. Yes, there was only one waitress serving not only dine in but take out as well. That did not stop her from doing and giving her all, and attending to any needs or requests. My husband ordered the hibachi steak/shrimp and he was done eating before I was. His only comment was that he would ask for less sauce next time, as that is a preference per person and every place is different on how they prepare, cook, and serve customers. Personally, I love the sauce because it kept my chicken/steak from getting dry while I was feeding my son at the same time. The atmosphere was light and friendly. No one minded that my son was baby talking back and forth across the dining area with another baby maybe a year old or so, besides it wasn't busy for anyone to care. I highly recommend this restaurant to save travel time to town, money, and a wait time. Who cares about the show part when the food and price is unbeatable. They also serve beer as that's what my husband ordered. If they serve other alcohol I really don't know as I wasn't paying attention. This is definitely our new place to eat for our Thursday date nights!"

"Eating here was actually an emotional experience for me. I saw the sign that said “Hibachi” and got excited, walked in to find no Hibachi tables and thought “Great, another subpar hole-in-the-wall” and then had some of the best Japanese food I’ve ever tasted. As an appetizer, we ordered the gyoza (fried chicken dumplings). These were AMAZING. I could have eaten three or four orders of these by myself. Next, our miso soup was brought out. It had a really great flavor, and the three year old in our group had two bowls all on her own. Four our main course, I shared a steak and chicken hibachi grill dish with my girls; it was definitely enough food for the three of us. The steak and chicken were cooked perfectly and well seasoned and the fried rice and vegetables never made it to the to-go box. My mother ordered the “General’s chicken” and it was great! Definitely better than what you get from the food court or Panda Express. My dad had a chicken hibachi dinner and a plate of sushi (I don’t remember the name); he said he would rate the sushi a 4/5. This is just down the street from our property and we will definitely be coming back."
