I noticed the table next to us received a different menu and inquired about and she completely ignored me.

I stopped in for lunch today and had the flounder. It was so good! Spicy and tingling with all the Szechuan flavors that you don't find too often around here. They do not dumb down the flavor and now has a spot in my rotation. If you ask for spicy, just know, it's gonna be spicy. The interior is bright and airy, offering a clean, modern aesthetic. Seating was not uncomfortable. :-)

Tried all the popular dishes and some weren't bad, but nothing jumped out as being worth trying again. One positive was the portion sizes were quite large for the price and in general is something I miss about dining in Georgia, so you definitely won't go hungry. The service was pretty disappointing. I'm not expecting top-notch at small spots like this but felt the staff was actually rather rude as opposed to just being purely inattentive. Overall it was an ok experience but given the abundance of Chinese-based restaurants in the area, probably won't be back anytime soon.

Based on reviews, we decided to give this a try, and were so happy that we made the 20+ minute drive from our house. Food, atmosphere, cleanliness and service, all great. Everything was freshly prepared and delicious...we started with the egg rolls which instantly brought a smile to our face...the best egg rolls since we moved here from the Northeast! Pork egg rolls were so good that we actually asked for a 2nd order. Loved the Egg Drop Soup also the Wonton Soup, and the entree dishes we had. This will be our new 'go to' for Chinese, and we look forward to returning to try other dishes, as well as their Japanese Sushi menu.

I had a really nice lunch this afternoon at The Asian Kitchen. There are many wonderful things to…read morereport about this little place, keeping in mind that this was my first and only visit. The restaurant has an intimate feel. Our waitress couldn't have been better. She was attentive, but gave us plenty of time to chat uninterrupted. The music was quiet enough that we could hear each other using our normal voices. The lighting was soft and not at all glaring. The parking was plentiful (Kroger is in the same parking lot). Their lunch special is very reasonable. I had the chicken kung pow with a delicious won ton soup and ice tea. The bill was about $15, so with a tip, lunch was still under $20. The waitress asked me what level of heat I wanted. I appreciate that because people often assume older people prefer very little heat and that is not true of me! The Kung Pow was delicious and plentiful. I could not eat it all. The vegetables were cooked "tender crisp" and the chicken was super tender. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

The dining room is always quaint and clean. I'm losing a star though on the fact that they are blaming getting rid of alcoholic beverages on tariffs. This is the first I have ever heard of a restaraunt doing it, but if you are afraid of having to raise or change pricing the beverage menu can be seperate from the food menu. Or limit the number of imports you have on the menu. It would seem better to say "we can't sell Ichiban or Sopporro anymore because of tariffs" rather than saying "tariffs bad, alcohol bad". i would rather have the choice to pay a dollar or two more than not at all.

However, my experience today at Lin's Chinese Cuisine at Windward in Alpharetta, GA, needs to be shared. I placed an order with the male owner, and everything was fine. After receiving my food, I went to my car and then returned inside to eat. I also ordered a bottle of water, which he kindly gave me free of charge. I sat down and began eating while he was seated at the table next to me. Less than 10 minutes later, a woman whom I believe was the other owner came out aggressively and told me I had to leave. I was confused and asked why she was approaching me that way. She told me to take my food and eat somewhere else. I repeatedly asked her to stop walking toward me so aggressively and to calm down. As I tried to put my food back into the containers and leave, she continued speaking to me aggressively and threatened to call the police. I told her I would call them myself. The entire situation was confusing and unnecessary. The male owner allowed me to order, never said the restaurant was takeout-only, and sat beside me while I ate without mentioning a problem. Based on my personal experience, I would advise anyone in Alpharetta to be cautious when visiting this establishment. Afterward, I read several reviews, and unfortunately, my experience made more sense.

I wish it had more of the other ingredients ... it was mostly rice noddles, which made it hard to eat. The main dish I ordered was the triple Mongolian dinner. I will have to say they didn't skip on the meat here. I add broccoli but it had good flavor . Overall decent experience.
