    Edamame
    Maria-Elena T.

    Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon with my dad. It was not busy. We started with the chicken coconut soup. The portion was perfect and it was delicious. It was hard to stop eating it but I wanted to save room. In the end, this was my favorite dish! Temperature wise, the soup was served piping hot. I loved the onions and mushrooms in it. Then we got the dumplings. Delicious!! They were meaty with a special sauce. They came 6 to an order. Would get this too again! Next were the edamame. They were a bit overcooked in terms of how I prefer them. Perfectly salted. Good size portion. For our main we each got the Thai Sesame Triple and I ordered the pad Thai noodles to take home to my sister/nieces. We were clearly going for leftovers so we over ordered on purpose. The Thai Sesame Triple was delicious, and once again, a very good portion. We got the dinner portion at lunch. The chicken was perfectly crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Same for most of the shrimp. The scallops were not as crunchy- my dad said last time they were. Huge portion of rice with it as well as some broccoli and carrot garnish. I got brown rice. I tasted the Pad Thai and it was also good- mild.

    Amazing crab Rangoons. Not oily and crispy

    Five star first delivery experience from here. Everything was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and arrived quickly. Drunken noodles was a portion big enough for two great meals. Get dumplings and crab Rangoons- both were much better than your typical.

    Spicy Garlic Combination

    Beautiful Presentation, light spicy - I ordered beef & shrimp in spicy garlic sauce with peas, broccoli It was fresh, scrumptious. Their green tea Was tasty, but not soapy. I can't say the last time I had Chinese or Thai food which tasted so Authentic-can't wait to go back really soon! The restaurant was clean & decorated plain but Tasteful, service was good too 10/10

    Shumai (close pic) and Pot Stickers

    Went to Thai Chili 88 and was NOT disappointed. Started the meal with shumai. You can get it steamed or crispy. We got it steamed and it was delightful. Apparently they make it here onsite and you can tell it's fresh and yummy. We got the pan fried potstickers as well. Crispy and also not run of the mill. It tasted fresh and the sauce was garlicky and good. General Tso was crispy and the sauce was fresh! One of the best I've tried in this part of South Jersey. Sesame Chicken was crispy and fresh and the sauce was bomb. Sticky and sweet and yummy. The fried rice was shaped beautifully and tasted freshly made. I also got a Thai iced tea. Sweet like all of the others I've tried and very flavorful. Service was excellent and attentive and came back multiple times to check up. Super nice. Inside is super nice and clean! Ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Nicely decorated. Definitely will go back and is one of the better Thai/Asian places in SoJo!

    Was around the corner in the shopping plaza nearby and decided to stop in for some crab Rangoon. They were some of the best I've ever had! The taste was good but the real star is the shape. Unlike the usual wonton shape, these crab rangoon were triangles and therefore, filled even more. The service was pleasant and efficient. Thai chili 88, very underrated place! Will definitely come back and dine in.

    Can't say enough the food is always good and price is fair. Always go here when unsure about lunch or diner.

    Asian Grill - Lunch portion sweet & sour chicken, house lo mein, fried cheese wontons, and an egg roll. Yum!

    Its gross I ordered steak and cheese egg rolls. I didn't know steak was bright yellow I will never…read morego back there again. Absolutely not!! It doesn't Deserve a star it deserves a zero!!

    I can't find a good Chinese restaurant down here. If someone can help - seriously - please message…read moreme, because this one ain't it. Yes, I know "ain't" isn't a word; much like Asian Grill isn't clean, or particularly good. I'm actually tiring of writing reviews for bad Chinese restaurants; I feel like I'm typing the same things over and over, and am kind of at the point where I want to say "the food is shite", and move on. Sadly, that isn't who I am. So, o.k., the shrimp toast is good. If I stopped here, we'd be at four stars. It comes as a sizeable portion, albeit in the bizarre format of three pieces, horizontally sliced, that are heavy on filling and light on bread. It isn't saturated with oil, and is totally par for the course. Egg rolls are pretty much the same everywhere, and to possibly channel Yogi Berra, so are these. I'll include a mention of the sweet and sour chicken here as well, since all of the above is basically fried junk food, and that was fine, too. The sweet and sour sauce doesn't have much going on in the sour department, but it very rarely does, wherever you go. Actual Food Not Involving Fryolator: The fried rice is yellow, and if you read my reviews, you will know I think yellow fried rice is inferior. While there are exceptions, this is not one. For starters, there is no egg, which is JUST FUCKING BAFFLING to me. Also, infuriating, if you couldn't tell. I've had both the chicken and pork iterations, and I do prefer the chicken; the char siu here is almost completely devoid of flavor. I say "almost" because, in the most recent instance, it tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for two days. And you know what they say - there's no pork like old pork. Do they say that? If they do, it's only because it's nasty. The pork lo mein is made with the same pork as above, only cut longer. This one didn't taste slightly turned or like smelly refrigerator, but like anything at all. If there were such a thing as stringy tofu, it could have been that. There are almost no vegetables in this dish: a miniscule amount of nearly evaporated sprouts, three pieces of either scallion or garlic chive in the entire quart, and a small number of celery slivers. That was it. Not even a lonely canned water chestnut. Also, it was overcooked, so the noodles were too soft. If I may borrow one of yours, I would like to give this three thumbs down. The hot and spicy beef, warm and not particularly spicy, has a sauce that is mainly ketchup. Yes, actual ketchup; if I had to guess, Heinz. I'll just end this one here. Anything more would be a superfluous addition of insult to injury. The General Tso's chicken was not even a little spicy, but otherwise what it should be. In other words, edible, but probably not what you're expecting. This could be repaired by knowing in advance, and telling them not to forget the peppers. Assuming they have them, that is. What else? I might have blocked some of it out. Oh, yes - I also ordered hot and sour soup here once. Again, not very hot, but a little sour, and full of what I think were sliced button mushrooms, as opposed to shiitake and wood ear. Edible, but wrong. I don't recall seeing any pork in there either, come to think of it, but maybe that's just as well. All in all, first impressions at Asian Grill are correct. You walk in, it looks bad, and it's not great. I'd say to go with your gut on this one, and if not, trust your eyeballs.
