It was an unfortunate first experience. The food was not what we expected for the price. The hibachi had rice and veggies that tasted like they had gone bad. The low mein tasted like it came from a microwaved bag. The egg drop soup was like gelatin. The gyoza were dripping oil. The workers were always in the back on their phones. The place was clean, but empty for it being almost 5pm. When talking to the manager, she was polite, but we only got a partial refund. They said they are working on improving the quality of their food. We hope it happens but we will not be returning unfortunately. read more

Stopped in literally for rice (didn't have enough for dinner we made). Arrive to drive thru at 9:46pm. Girl speaker said they were closed. I asked what time they closed, she, very snotty said, 9:50. I said, that's an interesting time to close. She said, that's when we are told to count our drawers. I asked what time the door said they close. The internet says 10p. The sign on the door said open. New to area. First and last visit. read more

disappointed at the quality of the food. Was hoping this place would be decent since it's close to home. Ordered ahead for pick up and waited over 15 minutes for drive thru pick up when I was the only one there read more

Service was good, but the chicken I got on the Lo Mein was pulled straight out of a can and thrown on top. It was seared at all for taste and the seasoning on the dish itself was absent. I would not recommend going here and letting it go out of business :) read more

Made a trip through the drive-through on a recommendation from my best friend, and we were not disappointed! The customer service was amazing, the discount for using cash is genius, and allowed me to leave a larger tip which they deserved. The donuts are unimaginably good, the teriyaki chicken with noodles was better than most Asian restaurants I've had in this area. The Beijing beef absolutely amazing. The crab Rangoon are the best I can find anywhere. The egg drop soup was phenomenal. read more

Tried this place again! Still UGH! I don't like the "thin" eggroll wrappers as they hold a LOT of grease... contents mushy... Shrimp Tempura is bland and tempura is thicker than most... Egg Drop Soup was good read more

Surpriseley good , best pork egg rolls in town the kung pow chicken was middle of the road spicy, but with no peanuts ?

I was so excited for Asia Cafe Xpress to open in Maryville after hearing rave reviews of their Knoxville location. Sadly, it did not live up to the hype. I ordered the teriyaki steak and shrimp that had absolutely zero teriyaki sauce on it. Seriously, no sauce or seasoning at all. It was just grilled steak with no seasoning, the shrimp had a weird breading that made it mushy, and the menu claimed it came with onion, zucchini, and broccoli but there was hardly any veggies with my order. There was about 1/3 cup of veggies, mostly onion, with one measly piece of broccoli that, again, had no seasoning or sauce. The protein may have been tolerable had I received any shrimp or yum yum sauce one would expect with hibachi but I didn't receive any of that with my to-go order either. The fried rice was also mushy and lacked flavor. Hopefully, this was just a case of a new restaurant getting their bearings but first impressions are lasting and this wasn't a good one. read more

I love it. Great value! Very large portions and tasty food. Yum yum sauce is delicious and plentiful. General Tso is excellent, and they even let you pick the spice level! Pad Thai is also good, and they also have amazing Gyoza. On an additional plus side, the workers are SO NICE and the food comes out very fast. read more

My husband and I went last Friday and thought the food was pretty good! I especially loved the crab ragoons. While the food isn't anything especially unique, I personally preferred it over Panda Express. Will be returning and hope to try other flavors! read more

Hibachi steak had no sauce at all. Nothing to add flavor. No yum yum sauce. Didn't think anyone would even call something Hibachi without yum yum sauce, or at least some sauce of some sort. If I ordered a salad I would expect dressing same is true with Hibachi it needs sauce otherwise it is just fried rice no seasoning and flavorless veggies. Even the steak taste like they just cooked it with the first hint of seasoning. I unfortunately got it to go or I would have given them there joke of Hibachi back and demanded my money back. On the plus side the dog seemed to enjoy it but she does eat the same dry dog food all the time and I guess the sauce less "hibachi" is better than that. read more

Food was pretty good. Manager was unpleasant, so I felt bad for the front line staff. Flavorful with lots of veggies. They forgot the rice, which works for me since I always serve over my own brown rice for health reasons. Others said yum yum sauce was missing, but they remembered for me. Just check your bag and all should be good. read more

Tried this for the first time. Wait time in line was very long. Unless you pulled it up on your phone you couldn't look at the menu board prior to getting to the speaker which added to the delay, then was asked to wait before ordering once we did reach the speaker. Instantly realized that simply ordering and paying with a card you'll pay a lot more so beware! Ordered Gyoza, 3 egg rolls, Mongolian Beef and Gereal Tso's chicken and a Boba Tea. This seemingly small order was over $45. Portions were smaller than we expected and it was warm, not hot. We were required to sign for our purchase using a clip board. Clearly their checkout technology is very basic all while making sure you have ample opportunity to leave a tip. (Remember this is a drive thru restaurant). Instead of charging a one time fee for processing a card payment they up charge every individual item on the menu. Adding a dollar or two to each line item. So larger orders can easily see $10-20 to larger orders. Food was very bland and unflavored. Fried rice was very dry and had little to no seasoning. Mongolian Beef was tender but had little flavor. General Tso's was clearly processed. More breading than chicken. Tasted more like sweet and sour than General Tso's. Egg rolls and Gyoza were very Dry, bland and lacking seasoning. Boba Tea was very small for its larger price. It was prepackaged and the access to the straw was difficult to unwrap. Covered in shrink wrap it took a lot of effort to tear it open. Once we did get the straw out and inserted in the container it spilled out all over us. Tea was unsweetened and lacked the flavor I've had in other boba Teas. All in all we were very disappointed in our meal and experience with Asia Cafe. We will not be returning or recommending this restaurant. Many more options in our area if you want Asian cuisine. Being fast food and it's high price it's not worth the time or money in our opinion. read more

This is my second time ordering and it was wonderful both times, We ordered Hibachi chicken and steak. Got plenty of the Yum yum sauce. I like the fact that it is not overly seasoned, for me it is healthier that way. I can add my own salt. Vegetables tasted fresh and rice was great! The portion size left me with enough for a second meal. My husband got to the left overs before I did. We are happy customers! read more

This is THE best Asian food restaurant in Maryville. Fresh, fast, friendly and incredibly delicious. Being a chef, I am very particular about food when I order out. LOVE this place! read more
