Reviews Asia Gourmet

This is the best Asian place we've been to in Riverside! We ordered the sweet and sour chicken, pork fried rice and Crab Rangoon. Their rangoons are actually filled quite full! The rice is also very good. We will definitely be returning again!

Amazing. We decided tonight to try out this place since they were offering a 50% off grand opening special until February 21st. So glad we did!

Since they were having the special my partner and I decided to order a few items to try them out. Ended up ordering the Crispy Calamari appetizer, the Shrimp Tom Yum Soup, The House Special Soup, 2 orders of the Shrimp and Steak, and some House Lo-Mein. We also shared appetizers with other members of our group which were Fried Dumplings and the Crab Rangoons.

The Tom Yum Soup was amazing, and my partner enjoyed the House Special Soup, and said it was really good. The soups tasted like they were made fresh and had not been sitting in a pot for hours.

The Crispy Calamari appetizer wasn't very large, and only had 6 rings, but they were tender and had a nice batter on them. The Dumplings and Crab Rangoons were the stars, as they were fairly stuffed with their respective meat and cheese.

The Shrimp and Steak meal was delicious, as it one of their chef special gourmet items. The steak is cubed filet mignon, though, while well done, was very tasty. The amount of meat you get in their entrees is quite a bit, and there's a good balance of FRESH vegetables and not mostly onions or mushrooms like you find in other restaurants. Also their fried rice is addictive. It reminds of the fried rice I used to order at the Shades of Jade restaurant before they closed. I wonder if they have the same chef/owners. The plating is also very attractive, as they make little flowers out of various vegetables.

At the end of the evening I was surprised that we didn't get fortune cookies, but a more traditional ornamentally sliced orange to cleanse our palates.

The staff was very nice and answered all of our questions about the menu, since some people at our table were worried about food allergies.

I would definitely go back and try it again, and I implore all who are curious to try it as well.
