    Jay T.

    Called ahead with an order for take away. I arrived about fifteen minutes later and I was greeted quick and handed my food. Everything was packed up in the bag as expected. I ordered the general chicken and it had no flavor. No heat, just bland it was fresh, with quality ingredients. Maybe the chef was having a bad night. The menu has lots of choices, I will return, but try something different.

    Pad Thai "House" version.

    Highly Recommended: 5-stars. Highly underrated. If you follow our reviews here and on Trip Advisor, you'll know we focus on price-performance at restaurants. Is the price commensurate or equitable, given the quality of the offering? Asiano hits the sweet for our rating criteria and earns our five-star rating.First, selection. Asiano offers an almost to-good-to-be true menu that is so extensive, one wonders at first glance whether puffery is at play. Thai, Chinese, and Japanese dishes are on offer -- on all 8 (yes, you read that right, EIGHT) pages of the menu. Dozens of dishes are on offer and are as eclectic as they are interesting. On top of it all, there's a separate two-page Sushi menu. Second, entrees. We put the menu to the test. We asked our wait staff professional for her recommendations. She recommended the Pad Thai. We ordered the "house" version: it's a variant of four different meats in the flavored Thai Noodle setting. These meats include Chicken, Pork, Beef and Shrimp. It was quite good. It gets a 4 out of 5 on our scale simply because the taste of the beef was a bit off.Then we put the Sushi menu to the test. Again, relying on the recommendation of our wait-professional, we ordered two new rolls on the menu, those typically not rated by regular customers. The first roll was the Bahama-Mama roll: Spicy Conch topped with a thin slice of lemon and hot mayo -- $8. One taste and it disappeared quickly, so quickly that we forgot to snap of photo of it. To the eye it appears as a plain old roll of sticky rice with a few additives. But the taste is zesty, refreshing and fulfilling. 5-Stars hands down for freshness, flavor and uniqueness. Our second roll was the Supra roll: Shrimp Tempura, Creamed Cheese, Avocado, Shredded Crab, and hot Mayo. This time we snapped a photo before vanquishing the roll. You'll note from the photo the shredded crab topping. The mixture of the various flavors teases and excites the taste buds. It's truly spectacular. $15. We note, the prices on rolls span $8 to $18. You don't need to spend on the higher cost rolls to experience the wonderful taste-bud sensations of their Sushi. Based on our sampling, offerings off of this menu are all going to be 5-star. Third, service. It's snappy, as in FAST. Again, our seasoned traveler nature cautioned us to suspect the quality might not be there because it was so fast. But this latter notion is not the case. The owners have a highly efficient and experienced cook staff. In a later conversation with the owner we learned Asiano has been in business for 26-years. The experience is plain for all to see. Fourth, setting. Asiano is set in its own building along the main drag (route 76) of Hiawassee. The sit-down area for Sushi-Pad Thai type customers is segregated from the Hibachi Grill nearby. Doors and a plexiglass-like partition blunt the noise and heat customers would otherwise feel in the main dining area. The Hibachi area consists of two U-shaped settee areas with the chef in the middle. There's plenty of dining space in the non-Hibachi area. There's 10 booths that hold about four adults each and 7-round tables with 5-8 chairs each depending on the size of the table. Asiano enjoys a brisk take-out business. From our limited experience, it is easy to infer why this is the case. This place is very underrated. A 3-star rating is very much undeserved as reported here on Yelp. We have lived for extensive periods in Southeast Asia, specifically, Thailand and Laos, and we know the quality and composition of these dishes. One of the owners is of Thai / Lao extraction. This suggests volumes about the owners insight into the preparation of their offerings.Go and enjoy. We suspect you won't be disappointed.

    Terrible bland food that is overpriced. I guess this is what happens when you don't have much competition in town. So sad.

    I told my guy it was HIS turn to plan a "food night". We both have been craving Chinese for a few…read moredays. We also needed to do our laundry, there's our dinner spot had to be in the area of our laundry mat. Prerequisites: He looked for a menu, and the golden rule: if you look at Google pictures and there are NO Chinese people posting pictures, it's NOT legit food. A to Z Grocery and Chinese Food reminded me of the family owned establishments I'd visit when abroad. You could go to a restaurant, but the real deal would be in the back of a corner "everything" shop. What to expect: A small hole in the wall place with everything you need, even a slot machine in the back. The place had a steady stream of people coming in to get whatever they needed from cigarettes to chips and baking soda. They even make "American Food" hamburgers, fries, etc. This was straight up in the middle of nowhere, and looked kinda busted from outside. Okaaaay, I'm down 100%! We walked in to two white folding tables in the center of a small "everything" market. I knew I was in the right place. I asked the young man at the checkout counter, "are you still serving food?" It was 15 minutes before closing. Yes! I ordered the sweet & sour chicken and Crab Rangoons. (Safe rarely disappointing meal.) 2 minutes later I hear the fryer in the back being slayed over. Noice! Cooked to order. I asked if they had any rooster sauce for sale - my mission to find some after they factory stopped making it over a year ago is real. #facts The young man didn't know what rooster sauce was, but his family member came out with a BIG jar and knew what I was referring to. Those who know, KNOW! HIM:"They don't sell this anymore" ME: "I know!" None for sale, but they gave me a to-go cup full. Awe, how nice! Perfect for my corn beef hash Filipino style I planned to make for my Friday meal. The food came out SUPER hot! FYI this is "American" Chinese food, not the food you'd find in mainland China. I don't think my guy would eat that TBH. Unless it's duck. We got exactly what we were looking for: Hot, fresh, family owned, everything market food. They were closing a few minutes after we were served (9pm). The young man said we can eat, he "wouldn't mind staying after closing". I loved that. Left him a tip just for that. This will be our regular laundry night in Cornelia food spot. The drive to it is off the road - which is something we gravitate toward. Adventure time! I highly recommend A to Z Grocery and Chinese Food if you want quick & fresh American Style Chinese food. REASONS TO VISIT: 1.Reasonable prices 2. Great service 3. Family owned 4. Full menu 5. Decent flavors 6. Legit Chinese corner everything store ambiance

    Since this place was taken over by new owners it has went down hill .The owner she is very rude she…read morehas absolutely no customer courtesy. They allowed drinking in the parking lot and whatever else goes on out there they sell to Young underage adults not a place that I would recommend at all to go into their food is horrible.
