For a few years, I've been curious about how the food was here at The Rose. Unfortunately, with no…read moretakeout available until fairly recently, I hadn't bothered to venture here. But with that said, my girl wanted some Indo Chinese.... so we made the trip here to see whether it's worth a second visit. Now, to be clear: the Rose is a Pan Asian Cuisine. So it's not necessarily just Indo Chinese, but it also encompasses flavors from all the other countries too. We ended up ordering 3 items in the following order: 1a: Gobi Manchurian 1b: Smoked Vegetable Sizzler 2: Mushroom Sautéed in Ginger Garlic We ordered the first two together and those arrived relatively quickly. The Gobi Manchurian was the better of the two, but I wonder if it was a bit too overpowered with spice and less of the sweet and sour taste (or even the soy sauce). The spice was a bit too overbearing. The sizzler was fine, but it was mostly onions and peppers. The tofu - while cooked fine - surprised me because it was like the silky ma po tofu (which coincidentally is what they serve here). In other words, the same tofu is repeated across multiple meals. I think the tofu needed to be pan fried at least for a sizzler. Because of the above, we didn't feel full and thought that the mushroom would provide a different taste pallet. Unfortunately, that was a miss as the mushroom had the same taste as the gobi manchurian, when it should've been infused with the ginger garlic. Additionally, the mushroom was way too overcooked so you couldn't even taste them either. It was like a crunchy mushroom. No good. To make things worse, the waiter, who also manned the front desk, seemed a bit too aloof at times. Often that meant not refilling water unless prompted and not providing the check on time or not even setting up the tables properly with silverware. It was a bit disappointing. This place has the potential, especially with the cute decor. But failed execution with the food and some lackluster service do not make this a place I'd recommend in the future.

So delicious! Our family of 9 spontaneously decided to eat here for a Saturday dinner because we…read morelove Indochinese food. We were seated very quickly, thankfully, and the ambiance of the restaurant was inviting and elevated. The menu looked fantastic at first glance so we were excited, and our expectations were exceeded. We shared the Veg Bao, Chili Paneer, Hakka Noodles, and Veg Manchurian with gravy (served with rice). All dishes were sooo so delicious - perfect level of spice, lots of garlic and onion flavor, huge portions. The parents were trying to figure out what to order, and asked our server for recommendations - he suggested something called the "Triple Schezuan" which was a combination of rice, noodles, spicy sauce, manchurian pieces, and more. They RAVED about this dish - the portion was also massive! Service was wonderfully attentive and best of all they don't use any cilantro in their food! Hallelujah! Highly recommend this underrated spot.

We (mostly) lived all the food so I would definitely recommend coming here. We ordered - Drums of Hell - very nice, we were expecting Chicken Lollipops but these come in a thick gravy - not what we expected but tasted great. Lotus Root in Honey Garlic - a bit too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't order this dish again Gobhi Manchurian - this is a classic Indian-Chinese dish and they do it to perfection! Chili Chicken Hakka Style - our waiter recommended this to us out of the various chicken dishes they have on the menu and it was a winner! Shredded Lamb in Ginger with Spring Onions - an amazing flavor profile - spicy, gingery and garlicky perfection! Loved this! Chicken Fried Rice - a must have accompaniment to the food. Hakka Noodles - I'm not a big fan of noodles but this was really good! The manager Heldrin was very helpful and the waiters were super attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This is a good appetizer to start off the meal. While it does not have anything unique about it, it is exactly what you would expect from a gobi manchurian. - burnt garlic fried rice (6/10): vegetable fried rice with hints of garlic. I was not a huge fan of this one because I could not taste enough flavor to distinguish it from the other type of rice. When paired with an entree it provides a nice base. - Szechuan fried rice (8/10): vegetable fried rice with garlic and schezuan peppercorns. I liked this one better because the schezuan peppercorns added a floral heat. It also works well with most of the entrees, though if you are sensitive to spice then be careful. - vegetable manchurian (6/10): deep fried vegetable coins in a sweet and sour gravy. This one was just okay. The vegetable coins were still crispy which I liked. I wanted more flavor in the gravy. - mapo tofu (8/10): silken tofu in a spicy sauce with peas and carrots. This is the first time I have seen vegetables in a mapo tofu and I appreciated it. It was not overly spicy or salty and paired well with the fried rice. WOULD I GO BACK? Perhaps. It is a very family friendly place and good for larger groups but none of the food really stood out to me.

While the lamb was tasty, it was also quite chewy and overly salty, which seemed to be what they used to achieve the "medium spice" I asked for. The portion of meat was large, but it was served with a surprisingly small amount of rice, making it a bit unbalanced. The real star of the meal, though, was the mango lassi. It was incredibly good and refreshing. The dining room is quite nice. Large enough for groups. And the waiter was quite friendly.

If you're craving Indo-Chinese, this is definitely a place worth trying. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the service is consistently good.

We also tried the Kuchow Chicken, Sambal Lamb, Garlic Pepper Chicken, 65 Fried Rice, Chili Garlic Noodles, and Bhuna Goat Masala. Every dish was flavorful and well-prepared, making it hard to pick a favorite. Overall, it's a great spot for delicious Indo-Chinese food, good drinks, and a relaxed dining experience.

We finally made it here after exhausting all the nearby restaurants. The restaurant is medium in size, with pale yellow walls and cushy burgundy seats covering the dark brown floors. Framed black and white photos adorn the leftmost wall while the name of the restaurant is on the rightmost wall along with a framed painting. Finally, in the back, you can see the counter, which has a lucky cat and some plants on it, as well as a large painting of pink flowers in a pond behind it all. We ordered the following: Baby oyster omelet, which has pan fried baby oyster omelet with chives- this was delicious. We haven't had this for a while and enjoyed it a lot. Golden fried eggplant, which is lightly fried eggplant with cubes of bell peppers and onions. We all liked this dish a lot, as well. It was nicely fried. Claypot egg noodle, which has pearl noodle with minced pork, shrimp, squid, bean sprout in egg gravy. We've been looking for this entree for a while. Last time Hubs had this was 15 years ago and it was 30 years ago for me. Hubs loved this dish. Basil fish filet, which is stir fried fish filet with bell peppers, onions, basil leave and mushrooms. I thought this looked sweet and sour and was surprised it wasn't. Daughter liked it a lot and was addicted. Hubs was shocked at how flavorful it was. There were plenty of onion and peppers. There is parking in the back of the building but we managed to find a parking space in the front. It's a little tricky parking there but we managed. Service was quick and minimal. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu.

Visited Pan Asia in Lacey for the Monday all you can eat sushi, for $28.95. Nice concept, but…read morethere are some rules... and the sushi was just ok. It's a concept of all you can eat, soup, salad, 2 rolls of your choice, at one time, nigiri, and either ice cream or sherbert. We ordered an appetizer from the main menu, the rangoon, was good. Now lunch was from the special all you can eat menu Monday menu, which is different than the full restaurant menu. There are a couple of special rolls on there. I tried the shrimp tempura roll, which I've never seen shrimp tempura look like a fish stick style, no shrimp tail at all, very odd. The rolls were prepared larger in size, I guess to get you full, or to not get you to follow one of their rules. So you must eat all of the sushi even the rice, you can't eat out the middle, even if you don't like it, before you can be served another option of the all you can eat items. The waitress literally pointed which sushi my guest didn't eat, as they went to order another option. Mind you, both of our rolls came on one plate, as if we were sharing. We did not like the fatty tuna with scallions, it was dry and very fishy. The spicy tuna which most places serve minced was more whole pieces, very different. Different is good, when it's flavorful, but this was missing it's punch. The kami salad was layered which was nice, but too much spicy mayo for the ratio, ask for your sauce on the side so you can mix it, since you mix it yourself anyway. The cucumber came layered under the crab, and the sauce on top, I actually liked that. The teas and soups were good, Dragon roll was my favorite, it was the shrimp tempura and salmon mixed. Try for yourself. It was a cute experience with good chocolate ice cream.
