    General tsos chicken, cheesesteak egg rolls, Veggie lo mein, and chicken wings
    Rothana C.

    I am new to carlisle and in search for good chinese food. I think I found my spot! Asian cafe has the best chicken wings at a reasonable price. Their whole menu is at reasonable price. Their menu has a large variety to choose from. Even thai food! I was even more excited to see they have cheesesteak egg rolls

    Shrimp Mei Fun

    Grabbed take-out for my gf's birthday from here and was blown away. I walked into the restaurant not knowing what to expect. A new restaurant is always an unknown territory, after all. The food was ready when I got there: 2 appetizers, and 3 meals all out in a big paper bag all done in 20 minutes. On the drive home, the delicious smells coming from the bag made me feel like I was driving a car full of flavor and I was happy to be a part of it. When I got home me and the birthday gal were salivating over everything. Egg roll cheesesteak, chicken rice soup, sweet and sour chicken, beef fried rice, and house special mei fun; and we chowed down. This was all done on the 4th of July. Asian Cafe is definitely on the top of my list now, and I can't wait to go again!

    I'm very impressed with this restaurant. Ordered the chicken broccoli over the phone and it was ready within minutes of me picking it up. Had never been there before and found it just by looking up Chinese restaurants in the area that were on the way home. Though I only wanted take out, it looked like there is no area to sit down to eat ( maybe just at this time during the Covid pandemic that is lingering). In any case, they have one of the best system setups to be safe from Covid. There is complete plexiglass shielding from ceiling to floor between the order/cooking area and customer area. They have a drop pipe to give them payment and double plexiglass mini doors are used to provide you with your order. Excellent caution system. It looked more secure than a bank. The employee was friendly too and the one meal was enough for two of us. The food was savory and perfect. The only one negative aspect of this place is the outside from the parking area doesn't look very appealing ( kind of very bla and plain, almost as if they are closed up). Also the waiting area isn't very welcoming. But aside from that, kudos to their staff, owner and manager!

    Ordered House Lo Mein, shrimp fried rice, boneless ribs and Szechuan String Beans. They didn't even deliver the lo mein. Instead they brought spare ribs. The order was over $40. The worst shrimp fried rice in my life. And I order Chinese food at least once a week elsewhere. Tried this restaurant out of desperation. Next time, I'll just starve.

    This place is awful. Not real Chinese food. I ended up getting food poisoning from eating their chicken.

    Really chill owners. They hail from Maryland near the Capitol. Uncle went from cooking for…read moreDiplomats to semi-retired cooking for truckers and road trippers through the Carlisle Pennsylvania 76 Turnpike. Once he told me he was from Teochew, Guangdong China, everything became more evident. Uncles an OG Master chef. Teochew people influenced the cuisine of Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore. It is in their blood to make quality everyday food. That fried rice .......was a masterclass on how to make fried rice; stirred together with house made Canton BBQ Pork Chasu, every rice fresh overnight, coated with just enough msg & soy sauce, and blended just right with peas, onions, garlic, scallions, carrots. If you were to order Indonesian Fried rice, what was served here today would be the unapologetic OG form factor. Masterclass fried rice. Thank you Uncle. The Sauteed Beef with Onions is not your typical Mongolian Beef, this is how Taiwanese Uncles on the street would stir fry beef with onions. So it's got that little bit of oyster sauce, hoisin, garlic, butter, scallions, onions, and Lee Kum Kee black pepper sauce for the cheating taste....then again I tasted Taiwanese Sacha in there, but who cares, the dish tasted like a walk down memory lane, when an OG Taiwanese owner chef used to make sizzling black pepper beef back in the late 90s in Rowland Heights California down at the food hall in Pacific Plaza. And that's when I popped the question to the owner, "You Taiwanese?" And he responded "Teochew," which is close enough. The cultures are mutually intelligible with the Southern Min of Fujian. And many of uncles peers are from Taiwan, which explains his Mandarin accent. As for the egg drop soup. Apparently Uncle doesn't like Egg Drop soup, so he intentionally fails at making egg drop soup-- too much eggs clustered together, soup base is to gelatinous because of Tapioca Starch overdose. I would increase the Green Giant Sweet Canned Corn, pop in more white pepper and msg. Uncle clearly gave up. I know he's withholding his potential. General Tso's is almost perfect, with the breading not completely holding together for an even crunchy crispy. The dried red chillis elevated the entire dish with the intense heat. Thus far, Canaan Restaurant down in West Covina, California has the Orange Beef, General Tso's down to the tee. In my memories, the General Tso's from Grand Gardens in Billings Montana prepared by the Patriarch Chef Alice's Dad is a trip worthy meal. Miss those days living up in Billings. Alas the Triple Delight. A mix of various vegetables, tossed in a citrus Chasu bbq pork brown sauce, but with a heavy garlic base, if you like a savory pungent throw Everytime in chop-suey style chicken, beef and shrimp dish, this would be a good option. Although taste wise, id give it a 4/5, not the best triple delight I've had, but fair enough. I am too full. Uncle and Auntie are a gift to this community. COVID really hurt every Chinese Restaurant Owner Operator. The same issues they deal with, every other Chinese restaurant across the United States is also dealing with it. They are of a generation, that will likely take the art of American Chinese Cuisine with them into retirement and the days of Chinese American restaurants outnumbering McDonalds will become a bygone age. A lack of workers willing to step into the high octane stressful restaurant business, a lack of cooks willing to grind their skills behind a wok, the lack of young people willing to take on a server position. These are the very same troubles facing every Chinese restaurant in the United States. And so the only option is to settle, run a 2 person show, with no additional help.....where have I seen this picture? Last week in Memphis at the Hong Kong Restaurant. My advice? Visit for Chinese American restaurants; they might all just disappear. Millennials won't step up to the plate and taking over legacy restaurants. Gen X is too busy saving for thier 401Ks...Gen Zs will never step foot into a kitchen unless you paid them 20,000 USD a month...our society is f*ckt...

    The food is clean . The food is well cooked . The restaurant is cool and calm . I ate here couple…read moreof times now. I always order the shrimp with vegetables and upgrade the rice to fried rice and I add a bottle of cola. Comes out to nearly $20 every time. It Includes an egg roll and a soup . It is walking distance from the truck stops next door. You can order online .
