    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Allison K.

    Our server was very friendly! We have been here a few times and the food is always delicious. It smells amazing and we enjoy being able to watch them cook with the open environment. Food came out quick even on a busy night. Highly recommend reservations.

    Leftover pho next day.

    Stopped in on a Saturday for lunch with some friends. It was busy but the wait was only a few minutes. We were escorted to our table and looked around at the decor while we looked through our menus. I knew I was up for trying a few things after reading some other reviews. I ordered the spicy wontons and crab Rangoon for appetizers. A spider sushi roll to share with my husband. He ordered the orange chicken and I settled on pho for my main entree. The crab Rangoon was the first thing to arrive. Delicious!! I wish we would have ordered two servings. The sauce for dipping is divine. Seriously so good. The next to arrive was the sushi. It was good. Nothing over the top amazing. The wasabi was creamy and not overly hot which I enjoyed. I always love the fresh GINGER that comes with sushi. We got our spicy wontons just before our main entrees were served. Wish it had come just a bit sooner. My husband's first time trying it and he really like it. The taste was good. They fold them differently than I've had them at other restaurants which makes them challenging to eat without cutting them in half or making a mess. Otherwise good. I would order them again. The pho of course always needs the fixings that accompany it. They didn't serve jalapenos on the side which was surprising to me. It was good but I've had better. Something I wasn't sure about was the eating it. I think I'll go with something different the next time. Overall it was a great visit. Everyone enjoyed their food and we had a bit of leftovers to take home.

    Kani Salad

    First time here meeting friends for lunch. Kind of a trendy place, great modern, youthful vibe. We ordered a number of dishes from sushi to soups, apps and entrees. The wonton soup was good but could have been warmer. The Tom Yum soup was very flavorful and spicy!! The pan fried noodles (with pork) was excellent. Nicely prepared and a large portion. We also ordered the Satay chicken which was a bit different than any Satay I'd had before. Crispy on the outside almost like a tandoori chicken. Different but good. Other dishes included the Tuna Tataki, the pork lettuce wrap, and the Kani salad. Everything was delicious. Service was attentive, patient and unobtrusive. Will definitely return an recommend.

    Tom yum soup
    Chin L.

    Stopped over at Basil Asian Bistro for lunch while going through town. Tom Yum soup was amazing. Very unique flavor compared to Tom yum I have had before. Lemon grass, chicken and amazing spicy level. Excellent service. Clean and welcoming interior. Excellent mode lighting. Good place for even a larger group. Spicy peanut curry is amazing and loaded with flavor so is the Pataya Curry. I highly recommend Basil Thai restaurant. They also have an amazing sushi selection.

    Tiger roll
    Mckenna G.

    What a delicious surprise this restaurant was!! Service was excellent and food came out so fast! Loved seeing the diversity of their staff and ambiance design. We ordered Tiger Roll, coconut spaghetti, and pineapple chicken!!! All fantastic and reasonable prices for the potions... we all have lunch for the next day. Would recommend for a great date night or family dinner together. Only thing is you have to find street parking or walk from public parking

    I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their food and the exceptional service we received at the restaurant. It is easy to think that since Wooster is a small town, that they won't have quality dining, but that is totally not the case. The food rivals some major cities and the prices are more affordable. We started with the Thai Rolls with came with 6 little crispy spring rolls chock full of meat and not just cabbage like most places. They were perfectly fried and delicious. I ordered Pan Fried noodles with shrimp for my meal and loved how the vegetables weren't cooked to mush. The sauce was perfect and not too salty. This dish reminded me of PF Chang's dish, but elevated. I had started with the Egg Drop soup to warm up and my only complaint was that it was not super hot, just lukewarm when served. Our server was excellent; very attentive and knowledgeable without hovering over us.

    Spectacular food. Chicken with green peppercorn is one of my favorite dishes in Columbus.read more

    I arrived at noon and the parking lot was already pretty full for this very unassuming Chinese…read morerestaurant from the outside. There is plenty of free parking which is nice. When I walked in the atmosphere was great, I could smell good food and heard conversations. There's a large area with large round tables to right and to the left are booths and almost all of them were full. The menu was a mix of Americanized Chinese, traditional Chinese and included Dim Sum as well. There were a number of dishes we didn't know much about and there were dishes being enjoyed by other customers that looked delicious. The wait staff was more than happy to explain the dishes and/or show us on the menu what someone was eating. They took very good care of us and shared the tasks of bringing our food, filling water, and just checking in. Now the food. The food came out very quickly! We all received a well filled bowl of rice. First out was the string beans, perfectly cooked, not droopy, and the flavors of garlic and hot peppers. Even though the peppers were there the heat was not overpowering at all. Next was the shredded pork with garlic sauce. The textures of the pork and bamboo shoots were a nice contrast and the sauce was perfectly balanced and craveable. The special grilled lamb, I was told, was some of the best in the city. It was tender and well spiced. Even when he said he was full he just couldn't stop eating it. For the dim sum order we got the shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, scallion pancake, and sesame balls and they brought a soy sauce and a chili oil with them. The shrimp dumplings were tender but the dough was pretty sticky. I think this is normal and they were tasty with some of the oil on them. The scallion pancakes were very thin and gummy, this is the only thing we ordered that I would not get again. The soup dumplings were very small but packed a lot of flavor. The dough did stick together a bit so unfortunately some of the soup did leak out. The sesame balls were the hit and we're just the right amount of sweetness that we considered them desert. They were large, at least 2" in size, with a wonderful sesame seed covered exterior and a soft, sweet center. Chuan Jiang Hao Zi is a wonderful somewhat hidden gem. If you want traditional Chinese cuisine including all the different offal they have it and I would totally try it here over anyone else if I was brave enough. Portions were a good size for the price. I highly recommend checking them out!

    I came here for a quick lunch before my Red Cross appointment. And like always, the food was on…read morepoint. I got the dan dan noodles lunch special ($10.95). In addition to noodles, the lunch special came with your choice of soup, a spring roll, or 2 crab rangoon. I opted for the crab rangoon. I also ordered 2 dim sum dishes - the shrimp dumplings ($6.50) and snow mountain lava buns ($6.50). The crab rangoon came out first, and they were delicious, hot, and crispy. Then I got the dan dan noodles. The noodles had a bit of a kick, but they weren't overwhelmingly spicy. They had a nice chew, and I slurped them up happily. I just wish there were more noodles lol, but the portions were pretty typical for dan dan noodles at Greater Cleveland restaurants. The dim sum was great. The shrimp dumplings were tender and juicy, and the buns were so fluffy. Be careful eating them though, or you might get hot, delicious egg goo all over your hands, lol. The staff is very no-nonsense. The service was efficient, and I made it in time for my Red Cross appointment. Note - the restrooms are super clean and even smell nice!

    My family and I went here for dinner this week. It was the worst meal we ever had. The wonton soup…read morewas terrible. Brown broth like it was made with bouillon cubes. The fried rice tasted bland and greasy. Not even adding soy sauce helped. Worse of all the sweet and sour chicken was gross. It was chicken nuggets and the sweet and sour sauce was watered down. Never again.
