Asia Cafe Xpress - Maryville

"Really I didn’t want to give it even one star, but it was a clean restaurant & the service was good…however, the food was not good! I absolutely love Asian cuisine & I loved the fact that this one is about 3 minutes driving distance from my home in Alcoa. I ordered shrimp fried rice & the shrimp was way, way, overcooked so I couldn’t eat it. I tried eating just the rice & veggies & it was very bland, so I didn’t finish it. I also ordered the donuts, I love the donuts…you get a bag of 10. I got 9 & that’s because they were so overloaded with sugar!! I’d rather drive the distance & know I’ll get a great meal!! I definitely will not go back to this one!!! (The egg drop soup was very good) Also overpriced … one meal … 24.00 … Really? (This was the new restaurant in Alcoa)"

"I can’t accept the atmosphere enough to determine whether the food was good or not. When this is what is seen at the drive thru it sets the tone for the perception of this place. How can we enjoy our food when all I see is spaghetti straps? Where’s the uniform? Where’s the professionalism? I expect better and leadership here should too."

"Came through at the last minute. Ordered steak n shrimp teriyaki with an egg roll. Great service. Could not wait to get home to dig in, smelled amazing!! I was not disappointed."

"It was our first time here, so we didn't know what to expect. We've had our share of bad Asian food, so we're always searching for something local, and appetizing. I ordered shrimp pad Thai, and my husband got drunken noodles. The portions were huge! I made two meals out of mine. The shrimp were plentiful, plump, and tender! The restaurant was clean, and The menu is filled with options! We'll definitely be back! *Side note* They have a cash price, and a small upcharge if you use a card."

"It's mediocre hibachi. The rice was a little mushy, the chicken and steak were decently seasoned. The portions were big! The sushi... no. Not good. If you needed a quick asian lunch and didn't care about the quality It's a doer. Outside of that It's meh..."
