I'm a pescatarian, and they had wonderful veggie options that I really enjoyed. Our waiter was super sweet and attentive as well.

Decor is typical Asian with screens a usual art and decor. The staff were very friendly and seated me immediately. My guess would be that this is a local family run restaurant.

The dressing was also not the typical ginger dressing as this has ginger pieces in it. Delicious. The rolls I opted for the red and the orange so one tuna and one salmon roll.

It's called the Manda Curry or Mom's Curry: Slow-cooked house coconut curry with fresh root vegetables, jasmine rice, and pumpkin. It reminds me of Vientiane Palace's Squash Curry. Upscale ambience!

The chicken wings had an incredible, almost tempura-like batter to them. And the pork belly soup - omg - there's a reason it's the dish they most recommend. I will definitely be back!

But the takeout orders were coming in all evening. It was my first time at the restaurant as I was not aware of it before. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, but closes in between. The shopping center has plenty of free parking. The menus are extensive: one is dedicated to sushi, and the other features Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Singaporean dishes. You can mix and match the dishes if you want. The prices seemed reasonable for the amount and quality of food. We were a group of six, and they put a few tables together so that we could sit together. We had plenty of room and weren't squished together. The dining room wasn't loud, so we could actually hear each other and have conversations. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The owner was also going around to all the tables to make sure we were happy with our meals. I went with the Hibachi Samurai, and I could choose soup or salad and white or fried rice. I did the miso soup and white rice. The zucchini, mushrooms and onions were mixed with the chicken, steak and shrimp. I really enjoyed my meal and the flavors. I will be a repeat customer now that I have discovered Chai Asian Bistro.

Fortunately, we noticed the sign in the front explaining that they had moved across highway 70 and are temporarily sharing space with Kobe. About 25% of Kobe has been repurposed to serve Yi Ge customers while the majority of the restaurant is still dedicated to teppanyaki. Yi Ge's menu hasn't changed, so we tried duck egg rolls for an appetizer and I ordered the Hong Kong tofu, a favorite, for my entree. The duck egg rolls were actually spring rolls and didn't have any taste of duck to them. They also arrived at the table lukewarm. My Hong Kong tofu was just OK - the serving was not especially generous, it lacked flavor despite having two different types of chilis, and arrived at the table lukewarm. Past versions of this dish from Yi Ge have been extraordinary: flavorful, a bit spicy, perfectly cooked, and hot out of the wok. My dining companion received a massive serving of chow ho fun and thought that hers rated an OK too. Despite the Kobe section of the restaurant being very busy, service in the Yi Ge part of the restaurant was friendly and attentive. Prices for our entrees were definitely above average. This was just an OK, but Yi Ge is capable of better. Maybe they were having an off night?

just really excellent Filipino food in an unexpected place like Jacksonville, North Carolina at…read moreslightly unreasonable value (great for the customer, but makes one question if the business can sustain it when charging so little for so much food). It was the first of three Filipino restaurants we visited on my wife's/my Carolina week long visit, and was the best out of all of them, even though by far it was the least expensive. Driving from Durham NC to Myrtle Beach, my wife and I took a longer route so we could eat at this 'Point-Point' steam table restaurant deep in the South. Steam table means everything is pre-cooked and sitting at a buffet station. The food can suffer in the same way that a buffet can: the food gets old fast and it definitely tastes different if you can get a fresh(er) batch vs one that has been sitting out for a while. We got there about 45 minutes before opening (opens at noon on a Sunday). It's in an isolated strip mall (seemingly in the middle of nowhere), with plenty of parking. As we waited in the car, we saw many prospective customers trying to get in. The doors opened promptly at 12 pm, and we were the 3rd party in line. The order taking process is intentionally slowed to allow the serving of the food to take place not long after it has been ordered and (pre)paid. This did mean that the line went out the door for our entire dine-in visit, and we got to see the make up of the regulars. Everyone was patient: it was very clear that it was mostly locals, coming not because they wanted Filipino food, but because they wanted good tasting food at a good price. It's a small dining area, but the vast majority of people were doing carry-out so there was always some seating available. They use Clover as the POS, and identify themselves as 'Filipino Cuisine'. We got the 3 choice combo plate ($16.99), served with white rice along with a can of coke ($1.99...no soda machine here) and a side of Ukoy ($2.50). There is a 4% surcharge for credit card use. Each choice was the size of a small a la carte portion, and one would have been enough for the two of us for lunch. The food was delivered to your table, and they will bus (or one can self-bus since a garbage can is available and everything is served in disposable containers). Ukoy - shrimp and vegetable fritter - really big piece and made that morning, so was still crispy. I really like vegetable fritters and this version was OK, a bit dry but that's what the accompanying vinegar dipping sauce was for. Pork Adobo - very tender meat, not too much fat, with added onions (what you would expect in a biftek). The amount of saltiness went perfectly with the white rice. Biftek - this had the sabaw of biftek, but the cut was cubed, meaning closer to caldereta. The beef cuts were just excellent (little gristle), very tender. This amount of beef would easily be $20 in a 'nice' Filipino restaurant. Pork Sinigang - really good, just the way I like it. Wasn't overly sour, with plenty of vegetables and generous amount of pork. The broth had definitely been skimmed of grease, resulting in a dish that was more homemade (where time is taken to do the skimming) than other turo-turo places I've been. Looking over the menu can tell you about the competition in the area, and it looks like Vietnamese Pho is pretty rare in Jacksonville. Turo Turo has Pho on their menu, and even modified their name to highlight it. I've found that many Filipinos like their dishes with all the extracted fat remaining, which makes much of their soup inedible for me (in that context, it's grease, not flavor-enhancing fat). But as noted, their sinigang was good, with most of the pork fat skimmed off the broth...so thinking their Pho is probably pretty good too. We've eaten at many, many Turo-Turo places (so many around where we live), and this place has to be near the top in terms of value and taste. Funny that it's in a place that we wouldn't expect, serving locals that one would expect in the area. Both of us really liked this restaurant, and the plentiful leftovers became our dinner that night with no regrets.

We like everything we have tried and were so glad to find this place since we recently moved to the area. From mild to to spicy hot they have evert range anyone could want. Portions are fair and we ended up taking some home from our lunch. Areas they could improve; I don't know if we hit them on a bad day, but it was really hot inside, since the food is also hot I tend not to want to eat if I get over heated. We were uncomfortably hot and sweating even before our food came out. Canned soda. Buy or lease a soda dispenser. You make more profits and can keep costs down. I really dislike restraints that serve only soda in cans, charge too much, then you have to ask for a cup and ice and there are no refills or larger portions.
