The ambiance in this restaurant is great - very cute and cosy. The staff are very friendly, they were nice to us and I noticed the same attentiveness with others in the restaurant. The food had generous portions but was quite different than Thai food we’ve had elsewhere. The Tom Yum soup was okay, unfortunately the shrimp were very over cooked and it had rice noodles in it. The Pad Thai also had over cooked shrimp (although not as over cooked as the soup) and the noodles were cooked a bit much for this dish. The sauce was not like other Pad Thai sauce I’ve had - it was a bit bland but not terrible. All in all it was an acceptable meal. Another curiosity - the bottle of soy sauce said Kikoman but I’m pretty sure that it had been refilled with a different brand...

Food was alright, nothing phenomenal. It is a bit pricey for what you get, and the portions are a bit on the smaller side. We had an array of different dishes and the best ones were the Thai bites and the red curry chicken (this was actually so amazing and would definitely order again). The pad Thai was not the best, and the rice and pineapple chicken were kind of medicore, especially for the price.

Got the name of this place from my niece. This is one of two places she said she goes to eat when she wants Chinese. Great food, large portions. Staff is really friendly. Seemed like a busy place, especially for takeout. They prepared orders quite efficiently, both dine in and take out. Reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of their food. They offer a lot of dishes, not only Chinese but Thai as well. I would definitely go back when in town again. Thanks for the suggestion Tamara!

Not sure when Asian cuisine became a comfort food for me, but when I get that craving, this is the place to come. I have yet to be disappointed in a dish or meal here. No issues with suggestions or substitutions and every meal is exactly what I was craving. The portions are generous and the price is more than reasonable. If Asian dishes are you thing, do yourself a favour and check it out while in town.

A decent joint for Chinese/Thai food. As an expat, Though, it would not be anywhere close to the Chinese I have had before, the food was quite good to eat. Their combos are pocket friendly and quite filling. The Thai Yellow curry also was delicious. Would surely recommend if you would like to go with friends or family as the ambience and service is also really good.

I want to give a shout out to the service at Taste of Asia. The server was prompt and very helpful in navigating the menu. While the menu is broad, it skews more towards a North American Chinese food experience (e.g. chicken balls, chicken so gai, etc). They do have some more original dishes, like their version of Mapo Tofu. The server was very honest that the dish would be close to authentic.
