    GOOD, NOT GREAT. I reaaaallly wanted to love this place--I really did. But the price for what you get here is just not worth 5-star love. I ordered two dishes and a Thai Iced Tea and it was $40 (yikes!!!!). I ordered their Pad Thai with tofu and felt like it just lacked flavor. It looked amazing and was perfectly moist, but it simply lacked flavor. Luckily, I ordered their Mongolian Beef which, by the way, they marinate, bread the beef themselves, and cook, was pretty darn good. It was a little on the salty side so, mixed with the bland Pad Thai, it balanced out. Even their Thai Tea was a little on the weak-flavored and too-creamy side. The ambiance is pretty legit here and it's probably what kept it at a 4-star review rather than a 3-star one. It's perfect for a date, you could step up to the bar area for a super casual vibe, or you can come here with the fam. The wait staff are totally friendly here and while I didn't love my first experience with the food here, I would totally come here again with friends to try other dishes out. Overall, the food was meh. The ambiance and service was nice. I would come here again with mid standards and hope to be surprised. But if you want a better selection and better value for what you pay, go down to Taste of Thai by Wipa.

    Food was excellent, very nice atmosphere/ decor. Service was friendly and on top of things.

    This is my second dining experience at the Asian 1 in Burlington. I forgot to write a review my first time, so I decided to visit again and rectify my "grievous error" On my first visit I had my favorite Thai dish, which also happens to be this locations most popular, Pineapple Fried Rice. I always order chicken as my protein element. The Pineapple Fried Rice was very tasty. I was definitely NOT disappointed This time I decided to try something different and went with one of my favorite Japanese dishes, Yakisoba. I spent 18 months in Japan and ate a lot of Yakisoba. Asian 1 prepares this dish a bit different from what I remember from my time in Japan. The restaurants in Japan typically prepare their yakisoba in a wok and that imparts a frying element to the dish. Also there is teriyaki in the Japanese version. I have no idea how Asian 1 prepares their yakisoba, but I did not detect any teriyaki and I didn't get a fried taste. Having said that, I still liked Asian 1's version of yakisoba. It was very delicious and they even asked if I wanted it to be spicy. I LOVE spicy foods, so I immediately asked for my teriyaki to be "Thai hot" . I was very happy with the resulting dish and was surprised that it came with my choice of white rice or brown, a leafy salad with peanut sauce dressing, and the Soup du jour (today it was egg drop soup). All of that for just $13.15 (drinks are extra). If you are a fan of Asian cuisine you should definitely check out Asian 1.

A big thank you to for helping us through picking one price fixe January exploration of your local restaurants and filling it with other ala carte additions. As we often do we ordered far too much food, wanting to explore everything off a menu that is far reaching. Not sure if our additions worked with the price fixe menu, but we sure enjoyed checking everything out. The interior is interesting with the addition of structural steel in the space to keep this heritage building (I think) standing tall for a few generations. We sure hope it's still here for a long while and will most likely come again the next time we are in Victoria. That is saying a lot as there are a wide range of restaurants in the neighbourhood, but you do want to check the Block out!

We decided to grab our food to go since the weather wasn't cooperating, but everything still tasted amazing back at our hotel. We ordered vegetarian dumplings, vegetarian fried egg rolls, chicken dumplings, pork Chinese buns, and chicken rice noodle soup. Every dish was flavorful and fresh. The soup in particular had a rich, comforting broth with tender chicken, noodles, and cabbage. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and service was fast. The woman working the truck was friendly and welcoming, even with the wind and rain coming down. We will definitely be back next time we are in Bellingham. If the weather is better, we will stay and eat in the beer garden. This place is a great find.

The location is excellent for a spot to walk outside while waiting or after eating. The food here on the other hand was not great. I think the fusion flavors did not meet my pallet one bit. I was lost in all the sauce and wonder of what was trying to be accomplished. The sauce for my spicy wontons tasted like its been sitting in cornstarch and flavor for a bit, and the clams I had was a confusing flavor. The walnut shrimp wraps were just okay and pork shumai was the only decent thing I had there. I would not come here for food again, but they have their location and setting on point. The service was just okay. Our waiter was nice, but I felt as if they were rushing us. We were there for about an hr and I felt a little bit rushed. They close at 11pm and at the time it was 9:45. Would i come again? Probably not, I love the location but there are so many other places nearby to try in the future. I would love this place to suit my pallet, it just does not. 3 stars are just for the atmosphere alone.
