This is the closest place for my wife and I to get sushi. It's not great, but it's not awful. Our first dine in experience was subpar. Some of our dishes were dirty and her glass was cracked. We decided from there on out, we would do carry out. read more

My wife and I have both gone to this restaurant and carried-out in several occasions. We've ordered various dishes to include sushi, chicken, beef and seafood entrees. The food tastes wonderfully especially when you dine-in. The portions are generous: you can see that they don't cheap you out on the chicken, beef, or seafood. The service is quick and the people they hire are very courteous. The only reason why I don't rate them as 5 stars is the fact that they don't carry fresh tea (which you normally expect in an Asian Cafe). However, the restaurant does offer a tremendous variety of sushi... along with a variety of Asian (not limited to Chinese) dishes- try them out (you won't regret it). read more

I order from this restaurant about once a week and I have never been dissatisfied. The food is fair priced and high quality. But the sushi is the real star, my favorite is their tempura shrimp roll, it is delicious and definitely worth a try. I will be eating here for many weeks to come. read more

We have been regulars since it opened - started because it's nearby and quick, but continues because it's very good. The food is consistently delicious, we love the BYOB and the service is great. I get the coconut curry chicken nearly every time. Delicious! Well tonight, the service went above and beyond!! As we sat ourselves, a regular server came over and handed us a much beloved bottle opener that we hadn't even realized we left behind a few weeks ago. She had been holding it in her purse - she knew we would be back. Well we were thrilled and moved by her thoughtfulness! read more

I have been ordering from this restaurant for several years, faithful customer, and quite frankly, it was the only Chinese restaurant I'd go to- they have some of the best sushi and Chinese food in the area! However, I was extremely disappointed when I placed an order this evening to be delivered to my new apt in Frederick, and got a call several minutes later saying they don't deliver to my area. I was shocked because their website clearly says they deliver within a 10 mile radius (my old apt was 6 miles away) and my new apt is within 7.5 miles. I asked the girl when she called if they would reconsider and honor what their website says, and she said she asked the owner and he said "no". So unfortunately, I won't be ordering delivery, or maybe even carryout again from there. Update your website please, if you truly don't deliver 7.5 miles away! read more

This is my most favorite dinner olace in middletown. There waiters are really nice (and speedy) and they always get your order right! I give this restaurant a 5 star rating!! read more

Very clean, very fast service, very hot and fresh food, newly renovated and looks beautiful inside! Best Chinese place in Frederick area (including all others i.e. China Garden). read more

We've only carried out but the food is actually very good. All of our orders have been problem free. I live nearby so it's a great local place. read more

Food is definitely not consistent in preparation. Sometimes it is good, sometimes just passable. I have never had anything I would consider fantastic. For take-out ordering over the phone I have always been greeted with efficiency and professionalism. Orders have always been correct. Some unprofessional things that I have noticed while picking up my orders is the way some of the hired staff conducts themselves. This includes helping themselves to drinks from the fountain and consuming them at the counter. Socializing way too much in front of customers including this evening when one girl was engaged in some PDA with a friend. After that was done she seemed to play around with one of the owner's child messing with their hair near where food was placed. Most of these workers seem of high school age and I get the impression that not much is expected of them then to just take orders and move the food. I will say that the young ladies of Asian descent who maybe related to the owners always to a good job and I never see the indiscretions in them that I see in some of the others. read more

The sushi is good, but I get more disappointed with the dishes each time I order. The chicken dishes are stringy and rubbery. It's mediocre Chinese food, but they do deliver. read more

We limited sushi in Frederick we wanted to give this place a try. The sushi was fresh and tasty. Only complaint is that when you order rolls they don't clarify how many pieces are on the rolls. Some pieces were $11 other rolls $8 and no idea if the $11 roll was 6 pieces or 3. read more

We always have consistently great meals from Asian Cafe. We usually order take out, and some of our favorites are: chicken chow mein (fresh ingredients, white-meat chicken), shrimp fried rice, steamed shrimp with vegetables, egg rolls. Staff are polite and food is hot & ready when we arrive. Nice atmosphere if you want to dine in. read more

Food is just average. Had the sweet and sour chicken. It came out like your average Chinese place, nothing special. Also ordered shrimp egg roll but the girl gave me a spring roll which was also average. It's nice to have an Asian restaurant in Middletown but this is far from the best in the county. read more

I ordered the Seafood Combination and it was beautiful (see photo). The dish wasn't originally a spicy dish however I asked for a little spice and it was perfect. It had shrimp, scallops and a full lobster tail along with a variety of vegetables. It came with a light white sauce. It was good, the spice added to the flavor. Most of the time I've found that white sauces are bland & what gives the dishes flavor are the vegetables. The price of the meal was $14.95, not bad for what I received. The service was very good and the food came out quickly. You can tell all ingredients were fresh. My friend had the General Tso chicken and enjoyed it. She said it was sweeter than what she expected, she thought there'd been a bit of spice to the dish but there wasn't. Overall we enjoyed our meal & the service. I would recommend this as a great alternative to the "fast food" Chinese restaurants in our area. read more

Asian Cafe - Seafood Combination - Sushi Bars Near Me - Middletown, Maryland

See all

This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. It's located in such a convenient spot. I probably go there three times a month and the food and service has always been amazing. read more

Food is 3.5-4 stars. Service and communication is negative 10. We made it VERY clear that our son was allergic to cashews - told the waiter 3 times. Unfortunately, we then spent the night in the ER with an allergic reaction. When brought to the attention of the restaurant, we were told there was really no one in charge with whom we could talk - "we just do our thing." Hiding behind a language barrier and not taking responsibility for the actions of your business does not set well with this consumer. We love local businesses and want them to succeed. However, I feel like I am more focused on this not happening again at their business than they are and that's not right. read more

Yummy Chinese food! & love the fact it's BYOB. So nice to have a great Chinese restaurant close to home!

The egg rolls were nice and crunchy but there was little inside and no taste at all. The General Tso chicken was ok but no broccoli? Or vegetables. Fried rice again was ok. read more

It's a decent fix of Asian food in a pinch. Always nice and hot when it comes out or delivered ! Sushi good be better , I don't know what it is but kind of reminds me of like grocery store sushi , pre made? They are always nice to customer . read more

Nice drive to Middletown if you live in Frederick. Nice place easy on the eyes well decorated with modern accents. Food was good I got the General Tao's chicken it could of been better with a little more spice. My boyfriend got the teriayki chicken it was one chicken breast sliced in half It was not cooked well enough at all. I thought that maybe they would offer a dinner menu like they do with lunch but they do not you have to order everything separate which is very expensive. Over all this was a nice place I would go back again to try something else. It seemed very clean. The had one American working there but you can hardly understand anyone else. read more

They have done a wonderful job of decorating. The restaurant is very neat and clean and uncluttered looking. The food is good and reasonably priced. My only negative comment is that the staff is not very friendly to the customers. We dined in twice and now have taken our food to go the last couple of times. read more

Went for lunch late today. I had Chinese while my friend had Japanese. My General tsao's chicken was very good....crispy, tender inside with just enough heat in the sauce. My friends teriyaki shrimp was also good. Everything was so fresh. The decor is clean, modern, relaxing. This place has so many little touches that makes it a wonderful, welcoming experience. read more

We love going to the Asian cafe in middletown. the staff is so nice and I love the clean environment. I usually get the chicken teriyaki. The veggies are always so fresh! Highly recommended!!!! read more

Excellent sushi and rolls as compared to San Francisco's asian restaurant that I used to live nearby. The layout and artistic design of putting the sushi and rolls on a plate. For an example: I ordered the Avocado roll and the Philadelphia roll and guess what the chef drew a beautiful flower on the plate with my order of sushi/roll around the flower. Beautiful!! Excellent Thai Mango Chicken with rice! A pure Asian environment that involves their families to help out and the decorations are tops and beautiful. Be patient with their service as their foods are homemade! Their Fried banana is too awesome and tasty. read more

Not a fan. Left hungry and had to eat somewhere else the first time. I tried it again for take out and was rummaging through my fridge for something else edible. I thought two bad experiences was enough to keep me away and then my fiancé wanted sushi! We got take out and though it wasn't the best I had, it was certainly better than the rest of the menu! read more

Have been here a few times always great food! Well great Sushi I should say, so far that's all my boyfriend and I have tried! We are working our way through the menu. We can't wait to try the Chef's specialties next. The staff is pleasant, place is clean very much enjoy my dinner dates. Would recommend you check it out. read more

Had a terrible experience with this restaurant. Our food came out incorrect and was cold when I asked for the manager a woman came out that barely spoke English During our conversation she walked away to answer the phone. When she came back she informed me that the carry out was more important then the dine in . She also said she was not the manager and there was none there. We left and would not recommend this place to anyone. I have given this place several chances and each time it has failed the only reason it got one star is because I had to put something. read more

Charged for substitute items as if I ordered them separately. Sponge Bob was blasting from the TV set and the staffs kids were running around like it was a playground. It was considerably hotter inside the restaurant than outside. The was tasty but light on the portions for the price. Overall not a good 1st impression. read more

Food is pretty good but last time we got carry out I was told 15 to 20 min and it was more like 40 min. I didn't even get an apology or an offer of a glass of water while I waited 20 min for my food in the waiting area read more

Have done both eat-in and take-out, and the food and service is always great, just wish they had a website.

This maybe was the worst Asian cuisine we have ever had. Had been recommended by a work client. Ordered a variety of appetizers and found them to be appalling. Did not bother to order anything else from the menu. We were the only customers @ 4pm on a Wednesday and there were 4 wait staff to serve us. Please drive to Frederick if you want Asian, certainly do not waste your appetite in the old Model Garage showroom. read more

Never again! Slow service, food tasted OK but boring! Ordered Sweet & Sour Pork and got white rice, fried pork and sauce, nothing else. There were no vegetables or pineapple with it much less the usual soup and salad. Pricey for what I received and definitely not all that good. Food tepid, not hot. Friend had the sushi and sashimi and it was also tepid when it should have been cold and it took almost a half hour before she got her order and her soup and salad came 15 minutes later. Soup OK, salad not so. Too bad we could have used a good Asian restaurant nearby. read more

The food is good. But here is my problem. The lady on the phone taking order does not understand ENGLISH. So you have to repeat yourself over and over and over again! ARGH!!@*&%$% read more

It was nice to see a Chinese restaurant coming to Middletown since I have been there my whole life. The food is decent, I like the hot&soup soup the most and also the California rolls are delicious, but I just enjoy China Garden in Frederick better. I usually only come to Asian cafe if someone else wants it or I don't feel like driving to Frederick since it's such an easy location. read more

I ordered dinner for my family from Asian Cafe in Middletown MD. I orderedmy dinner from what I thought was there web site, but it was a third party site. According to the site that delivery was 15 mins. There was no place for me to put my credit card info. on the site. I placed my order thinking my food would be 15 mins out. NOT... I get a phone call from the cafe wanting my credit card after I been waiting for 30 mins. I was told that when a order is placed on the web site that the people who runs it calls the cafe to place my order. Does not make sense, when I could have called myself. Then I have to wait another 30 mins. for my meal. Not happy. I will think twice before I order from them again. read more

Food was very good, restaurant was clean and new, but the service was slow when we went. The lunch menu is a very good deal. Would definitely visit again, they just need to pep up a little. read more

Finally a local Chinese restaurant with great food. Before Asian Cafe opened, we had to travel 10-15 min for mediocre food. Now I can order my food on-line and pick in up in 15 min. Try the sushi, you will love it. read more

Have ordered several times from here now and the food is consistently very good. (General Tso's chicken, combination lo mein and combination fried rice, eggrolls) It's great to finally have a good place to eat in Middletown (other than Aleko's) :) read more

I agree with Jordan N about the food being mediocre. So why do we bother eating at a mediocre restaurant? The sole reason is because it's the only one that will deliver to our house. That being said, after our experience this evening, I'm not so sure even that will suffice as a reason for our patronage. Earlier tonight, I called in a delivery order. The employee on the phone repeated back to me my address as they usually do. I ordered and paid with a credit card. Then, 20 minutes later, she calls back to say she doesn't have my address and that there is a $1.50 "gas charge" and do I want to pay for it over the phone or pay the driver. I asked her when they started charging a 1.50 "gas charge". She told me to hold on, and when she returned she said it was actually a 3.00 charge because I live farther away. I asked her why that isn't printed on the take-out menu or told to customers when they order. No answer to that question either, just an apology. I sent my son to pick up our food instead of paying the 3.00 and honestly, the food was hotter than any other time we had it delivered. Lesson learned. From now on, if I want to eat Chinese food at home, I will get off my lazy butt and pick up take-out from Great Wall on Yellow Springs Road. It's only a couple miles further, and the food is worth the extra effort. read more

I've been here once before and it was alright, nothing to write home about. We tried the takeout tonight: egg rolls, General Tso's chicken, and Kung Pao chicken. Complete disappointment. We called to ascertain the difference between the two entrees and were told that General Tso's had broccoli and Kung Pao had a bunch of vegetables. The Kung Pao came with everything correct, but was bordering on inedibly salty. I think they used salted peanuts AND salted the dish liberally? Regardless, it toed the line--and we're salt-lovers! The General Tso's chicken came with chicken. No seriously, that's it. Literally a container of chicken with a little bit of sauce. I'm not sure who would look at this clear-topped container of ENTIRELY CHICKEN and not remember that there should be something, anything else in it, but I guess they don't look at their food? The egg rolls were dry, tasteless, and came with no sauce to spice them up. Sad, because I figured they were pretty hard to screw up and we could at least get them on occasion. We called to complain about the lack of broccoli, and after trying to get the guy to understand what was going on for ten minutes he offered to send someone out with a side of broccoli. Five minutes later he called back, apparently needing more clarification. We told him to forget the whole thing and just ate our stuff. I guess this shouldn't come as a surprise, as we've heard patchy stories from our neighbor. They said the same thing--that service was sketchy, they often missed entire parts of their dish (sauce, vegetables, or rice), and that overall there were far more misses than hits. Too bad, I was really hoping for a less creepy alternative to Hot Wok, but it looks like there's a solid reason there is literally no one in the restaurant at dinner or lunch time. read more
